"calum i don't like this."

"you can't be suspicious luke. your mom and the school are convinced you have the stomach bug."

"you can control it. i know you can." the kiwi boy smiled at his friend.

luke took in a breath, holding it and releasing the air mouthing an okay. "now let's go." calum nudged his friend walking towards the school. "mr. anderson 'll kill us if we're late to homeroom."

"mr. hemmings nice to see you're feeling well." their geometry teacher said not looking up from his papers. luke kept his head on the way to his seat. he sat next to a tall blonde girl named alessandra. she has this thing for luke. luke calls it a thing because he can't decide if it's a crush, hatred or a moral obsession.

"i hope you're feeling better luke." she said in a quiet smooth voice. the weird thing about her is how she dresses. it reminds Luke of a porcelain doll. had hair was curled perfectly, her skin was clear as day, and she wore some type of blue baby doll dress with knee length socks and brown shoes.

luke cleared his throat. "i am thanks." alessandra looked over at him with those big brown eyes that luke would probably be seeing in his nighmares. it seemed almost like she knew. like she knew luke was a gifted and that it was the reason he'd been out of school. but that was probably luke's paranoia.

"lucus glad to know you're feeling well again." luke nodded with a smile to mrs.foran, the front desk lady at school. "now giving recent events we need proof of your illness to verify it, you do understand yes? it's just standard protocol."

"oh um-" he boxed s pencil in the desk start to shake and he began to panic.

"sorry i'm late." alassandra came through the door to the left of luke. "luke asked me to verify his whereabouts for him." she smiled at the grumpy woman.

"um-yeah."

"he had anasty 24 hour flu." he she said, her voice laced with sympathy. "i went over to bring him some medicine and soup."

mrs. foran gave alessandra a genuine smile, which was creepy, and then looked to luke. "that's very kind of you alessandra, but you should really invest in some new friends," she never really did like luke at all. "boys like him can be trouble."

"i'll take my chances." she smiled as the late bell rang. "c'mon luke you'll be late for trig." she pulled him out the door quickly as mrs. foran said her goodbyes.

luke was then shoved against the wall. alessandra pinned him to the concrete with a strong grip. "listen up hemmings, i've seen too many of us go into hiding or get thrown into the fucking bermuda triangle. so you better get your shit together and keep it under control." her voice was hushed but stern.

"wait you're a-"

"after school meet me behind the baseball field." she let go of his shirt and began her route to her next class.

"wait alessan-" she cut him off once again.

"don't be late."
