* Luke's POV *

" Get up... " I thought to myself as I laid in bed, feeling dead and emotionless, I shouldn't have stayed up to watch coming out videos.
I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling.
" Time to get up! " I heard my mum say in a pissed tone, it's like this every morning.
I swung my feet over the side of my bed and stood up slowly, giving me time to adjust to the cold air that filled my bedroom. I walked over to my clothes cabinet and looked for my shirt of choice.
" Blink-182.... Green Day.... The 1975....".
My eyes scanned across the shirts hung up in my closet, " Ah! Panic! At the disco today I think. " I mumbled as I wiped the sleep out of my eyes.
I slipped the shirt on and chucked on the same pair of jeans I wear every day, black skinnies.
I walked over to the other side of my room to choose my shoes. I always have trouble deciding whether it's going to be vans, or converse.
I always end up picking vans, so vans it is I guess.
As I slip my shoes on I heard my mum yell " You have 5 minutes to be ready Lucas! ".
" It's Luke! " I corrected her.
I slid on my right shoe and ran to the bathroom.
I picked up my comb and my hair product.
Before I could do my hair my eyes caught myself in the mirror. I stared blankly at my reflection and forgot all about my hair.
" You're going to fail your test today... You're a fuck up. " I kept telling myself.
I stared for another 10 minutes, not realising its been more than 5.
" Lucas Robert Hemmings! Get your ass out the door right now! " my mum yelled. " FUCK. " I mumbled to myself. I quickly sprinted back to my room, forgetting I hadn't even done my hair yet. I grabbed my bag and threw my phone and earphones in my bag.
I ran downstairs to see my mum at the door, holding my lunch and a water bottle.
" You're late again. " she angrily mumbled at me. I snatched the food from her and shoved it in my bag.
" Don't fuck up today! " she yelled as I exited the front yard.
I walked down to the bus stop. I remembered I was late and looked at the time, 8:36am. I reached the bus stop after a short walk and looked at the timetable.
I'm 6 minutes late and the next bus comes at 9:00am. Fucking great.
I sat down and pulled my earphones and phone out of my bag, realising I forgot my revision sheet for my test. I stamped my food on the ground in anger and slumped my back against the seat. I stared at the ground and accepted the fact that I won't pass anyway.
I plugged my earphones in and started playing The Front Bottoms.
" This is for the snakes and the people they bite. "
I hummed to myself as I waited for the next bus.
I waited, and waited until 9:10am and the bus still hadn't come. I got fed up and decided to walk instead.
As I walked it began to rain, and after that the air around me got colder. This day hasn't been working out for me. I began to sprint towards the school, it was about 2 blocks away from me. My running pace got faster by every drop of rain. I ran up to the office and made it inside the school before the rain got heavier.
" Mr Hemmings... " I heard a familiar voice say, it was my science teacher, Mrs Perrin.
I don't take any particular liking to her, she fails me for everything, even if I get it right.
" I'll see you for your test! " She snarled as she walked off.
I slyly gave her the finger and walked off. The bell rang, I looked at my watch, 10:00am already?
I walked to my locker and opened it carefully so I wouldn't bring any attention to myself. Of course, 4 of the " mean girls " had to look at me. They constantly flirt with me, I pretend I'm interested but in reality, I'd rather guys.
" HEY LUKE!! " they yelled to me, I did a flirty wave and turned around so they wouldn't see me role my eyes.
I took out my text book and shut my locker quietly.
I began to walk off and they followed me. Bella, the stereotyped prettiest one ran up to me and stopped right in front of me. " So Luke, I was thinking maybe we could get coffee after? ".
I almost laughed at this request, before I could say no I heard a bang which caught mine and Bella's attention.
" OOOOH " I head a crowd yell.
" Hold these. " I said as I dropped my books into Bella's arms.
I sprinted up and pushed through the crowd to see a boy on the floor, with pink hair. As one of the boys went to swing another kick at the poor kid I leaped out in front and put a shield of protection around him.
" GET OUT OF THE WAY LUKE! " One of them yelled.
I sat there with my arms around the poor boy.
He looked up at me and mouthed " Get me out of here. " so that's what I did.
I stood up and grabbed him by the waist, and helped him walk away from the crowd.
" You're going to hell! " One of them laughed, the others joined. I questioned myself as to why they said that, but I figured it was better to ask the boy questions later.
