Tangled in Thorns | A Luke Castellan Story

Chapter 8 - Planning

Rosealynne's POV :

I can't believe I just did that. I quickly shut the door to my cabin and just stand there with my back to the door for a moment. I just kissed Luke, on the cheek but a kiss none the less...

"What the fuck?" My eyes widen and my heartbeat quickens. I change into a t-shirt and shorts and crawl into bed.

The next morning I walk to breakfast, my head throbbing and my eyes puffy. "Ugh." I sit down next to Clarisse and just stare at my plate.

"What's wrong with you?" She grimaces, "You look like you jsut crawled out of the underworld, went back down, and then came up again."

I shoot her a death glare, "Thanks Clarisse , you're so helpful." I bury my head in my hands, "I spend all night tossing and turning."

She raises an eyebrow, "Why?" She cocks her head and I roll my eyes.

"I may or may not have kissed Luke on the cheeck." I mumble it and say it quickly so it's incomprehensible.

"Excuse me? What was that?" I groan and put my head in my hands.

"I kissed Luke." I squeeze my eyes tight, knowing exactly what was about to come.

"WHAT!?"

I flinch and feel everyones eyes on Clarisse and I. "On the cheek but... Still." She hits my arm and I wince, "Girl, OW!"

"You kissed him?" She whisper yells into my ear and I nod, "Girl, this is huge! You finally made a move." I grimace and she sighs, "What did you do?"

I smile sheepishly, "It was a kiss on the cheek and then I kind of ran into my cabin to avoid seeing his reaction." She shakes her head, rolling her eyes at me. I let my head thunk onto the table, "I fucked up."

"Yeah," she strokes my hair. "But it is fixable..."

Lukes's POV :

She actually kissed me, on the cheek but still. Does she like me? Or was this like a 'you're my friend and this is a friend kiss' sort of thing. My god she's turned me into a girl, overthinking this shit. I throw myself down onto my bed and groan as Chris approaches.

"You alright?" He stands over me with a quizzical look on his face. I groan and turn so my face is buried in the pillow. "I'll take thagt as a no."

I sit up and face him, "She's... She's so confusing man." I rest my head in my hands, "She kissed my cheek the other day. Then ran off and hasen't said anything to me sice."

"Yikes" He sits down next to me, "Maybe that's a good thing though." I look at him confused. "Maybe she did that because she likes you, but can't tell if you feel the same so she's giving it time so maybe it'll blow over."

I shake my head, "I don't know man. Everytime I approach her or try and talk to her she runs away or turns and starts talking to someone else."

"I don't know. Chicks are hard to read." He stands up, "You're gonna talk to her."

"How? In case you've forgotten she keeps running away from me." I roll my eyes and flop backwards.

"Put her in a situation where she can't." I raise an eyebrow, intrigued. "Cleaning duty. Find out what shift she has and take the one opposite her."

"And if it's taken?"

He smirks, "Find a way to make them switch with you."

A/N: Heyyy so I'm a tad bit behind schedule... My bad y'all I lost motivation and I couldn't think of what to write but I've been getting ideas lately. I'll try and churn out a couple of chapters over the next week. This is a short one but the next will be longer I promise. Also sorry if anything isn't spelled right I tried to check but I recently got my nails done so... ENJOY!
