Undeniable Fate - Book No. 1 [l.h.]

No. 12

I look up to see the person in front of us. My heart sinks to my shoes when I see a very, very pissed off Aaron. If he gets any angerier, I think he would explode and the world wouldn't be big enough for that mess. He's trying to contain his hands. From what? Hitting us? If he lays one finger on Luke, so help me God, he'll meet his maker.

"Ca-an someone ple-ease tell me, what the Hell is going on in here?" he asks. He's so angery that he prolongs some of his words.

"He's in pain, please get the nurse. We need Miss Frangipane," I say.

"In pain? Seems to me like you two were doing something completely diffrent," Aaron says. "Stephanie, in my office, right now."

"No, Aaron! I will not leave him like this."

"You will adress me as Mr. Taylor-Johnson! And don't worry about your little friend. I'll have your friend take care of him." The smile that's on his face gives me the creeps.

"Like fuck you will, Aaron. He's coming with us."

We both turn to the doorway to see Louis coming to a halt. And a really angry Halsey. And beside her is the one Aaron just refered to as my friend. Liam. Can I still be his friend after what I found out?

"Okay then. Go and help the boy. I just need her. Come on, Stephanie."

I look down at Luke to see how he's doing. He's still got his eyes closed, but seems to be a bit better. His hair is slightly down from it's quiff and matting his forhead. I swipe it aside to keep it out of his eyes.

"I'll come and find you when I'm done. And then we can talk some more," I whisper to him.

"Indigny," he softly says.

"Never," I say.

Halsey and Louis come to our sides and take him from me. They each support him under his armpits and drag him out of the room. I just get up and walk with Aaron. When we get out of the classroom, Liam accompies me behind Aaron. He comes a little closer.

"Remember, Harry is picking us up after our last class. Don't be late or you can take the bus home."

Wow, even for a whisper it sounded cold. Is he mad because I was in there with Luke. By the time we reach Aaron's office, Liam walks back to his new class. When I turn back to him, Aaron is holding the door for me. With a little 'thank you' I quickly get myself inside.

I take a seat across from Aaron's desk. He sits down and leans back. His elbows are on the arm rests as his hands are folded. His two pointer fingers touches each others tips and are against his lips. His eyes are studying me. And quite frankly, it kinda scares me.

"So," he begins, "Care to tell me what happend, Miss Rose?"

"I-I uh, well. I was just talking to Luke about, uhm... Miss Lovato's class. Some of the stuff she told us, well, it didn't really make much sense to me. So yeah..."

"That's it? A silly subject such a Religious History is the reason why you pretended to have a panic attack of some sorts, to be sent into the nurse's office and then sneak off to see your classmate. Is that it?"

"Wait, how do you know about that incident?"

"Doesn't matter. All that matters is what to do with you now. I suggest detention for a week, but Liam seems to be fond of you and I am of him. So, I'll let you slide on this one."

The tears of relief are at their start, but I keep them in. Not now. No more tears this week. But as much as I try to keep them in, Aaron still notices that I'm on the verge. His experssion changed into a softer one. He gets up from behind his desk, stands in front of me, leans against his desk and puts his hands next to him.
