Falling For Hood

Chapter 3: New school New problems

Helen's POV

I woke up with Luke's arms around me and my arms around him. I untangled myself and slipped into the bathroom. I turned on the hot water and let it calm me nerves. Today was my first day at a new school, and I was nervous.

I got out and dried myself off. I walked into my room and Luke wasn't there anymore. I went to my closet and chose an outfit. I went with a black loose tank top that said 'Coldplay', black tight jeans and black converse. As I was pulling down my shirt, I stared at the huge bruise that was on my stomach it was deep blue and purple. It hurt a lot, I blinked back tears when I remember who gave it to me, I pushed the thought aside.

I went downstairs and grabbed something to eat. I sat down next to Luke, who was eating Honey Nut Cheerios.

"Nice outfit, Hel."

"Thanks," I reply.

"So you ready?"

I wrinkled my nose, "Not really."

"Don't worry, you'll be great. Stick with me kid, you'll have the time of your life."

I laughed, "Okay, Lukey."

"Lukey?"

"You have a nickname for me, and I have one for you."

"You really are my sister," Luke smiled.

"Yup" I smiled back.

We finished eating and left for school. Luke pulled into the parking lot and there were only a few cars around.

"We're early?" I asked getting out of the car.

"Yea, I wanted you to get your schedule and meet the guys," Luke replied.

I smiled, we walked into the office. A lady with red hair looked up from her computer. She was about 50 or 60 years old.

"Mr Hemmings school hasn't started and you are already in trouble?" she asked.

"Not this time, Mrs. Smith. You actually have a new student," He replied pushing me towards the desk.

"Hi, my name is Helen Hemmings, I'm new," I say with a smile.

"Related?" Mrs. Smith asked.

Luke swung his arm around my shoulder, "She is my sister."

"and he is my brother," I agreed.

"Well, Miss Hemmings, if you are anything like your brother, we are going to have a problem," she replied.

"We can be both very different and very alike," Luke said matter-oh-factly.

Mrs. Smith got out a folder and handed me a paper, "Here is your schedule, welcome to our school," She said with a smile.

"Thank you," I smiled back.

We walked out of the office and Luke yanked my schedule before I could even see it. His eyes scanned through it.

"Sweet, we have first, third, and fifth together. But I'm pretty sure you have classes with the guys. You are taking art? And chemistry?" He asked.

"Yea" I replied.

"Wow, you are way too smart."

"I'm no smart okay."

"Shut up, you are smart."

We entered the hallway which had two rows of lockers on each side of the hall. Luke walked down and I followed.

He stopped at a locker, "Alright, this is yours." he pointed at one.

"Cool"

"It's next to mine and Michael's."
