Luke Hemmings: Bad Boy

4

Never in my life had I been more relieved to leave a class than now.

I shoved by everyone just to get away from Luke, we didn't say another word to each other and I was feeling slightly confused about my feelings towards him.

I must be completely and utterly stupid, i do not have any feelings towards Luke, he is the most shallow person I know, even if his smile is the one the cutest things I've ever seen.

I practically ran into my English class and took a my seat near the back.

"Keira I didn't think you liked my class this much" my English teacher Mrs Benson chuckled while writing something on the board.

I forced a laugh and sunk down in my seat as the rest of the class piled in all of them deep in conversation with one another.

Mrs Benson walked around the room and put down a different book on each desk, she placed the book she had chosen for me on the my desk.

"Miss I've read this" I said looking at the cover of the book

"Well now you can read it again" she smiled before moving onto the next person

She had given me 'The Fault In Our Stars' and if she thought I was going to read that again and revisit those emotions then she has another thing coming.

I opened the first page reading its contents, I had decided that I was just going to skip the end.

I heard screaming as i came through the door to my house, I had to take the bus home because my annoying siblings had gone to their friends straight after school so they couldn't drive me.

The screams belonged to my parents who hadn't realised I was home.

"You cheated on me Robert" my mother yelled from the other room.

My dad did what?

"Jane please listen" my dad made an attempt to calm my mother

"No, I don't want to listen anymore" I could hear her crying

"What's going on?" I burst into the kitchen where the argument was taking place.

"Keira honey this might be hard for you to hear but your father and I are getting a divorce" my mothers words cut through me like a knife

"Jane" my fathers voice cracked

She shot him a glare as to say 'don't say anything'

"Yes we are im sorry to have to tell you this way sweetie, we had hoped to have waited until Alec and Cameron were home" my dad went to pull me into a hug but I pushed him away

"This is your fault you're the one that cheated" I spat

"Keira you were listening?" My dad raised his voice

"Yes" I looked at him for a second but I couldn't recognise him "I'll be home later" and with that I stormed out the door not looking back.

As soon as I was outside the tears came falling down my face. I stumbled slightly as I left my street, I had no idea where I was going I just needed to come to grips with what was happening.

I had been walking for about 20 minutes when the first few drops of rain hit off my head, I pulled the hood on my hoodie over my head and folded my arms in an attempt to keep warm.

I bumped into someone and tried to conceal my face so they couldn't see the tears.

"Sorry" I muttered

"It's fi- Keira?" I knew who it was but I didn't want to look up, he had never seen me cry, I had made sure that he never saw the vulnerable  side to me, he would only use it to his advantage.

"Not now Luke" I tried to get by him but he placed his hands on my shoulders, my legs felt like jelly so it kind of helped me stand.

"What's wrong?" Why did he sound concerned?

"Nothing" I shook my head

""Well it's freezing and you're only wearing a hoodie I only live 2 minutes away, you can call someone to pick you up" What.The.Fuck

"No, it's okay" I could feel my face burning up

"Keira" he rubbed my arm

"Okay, eh, thanks"

"No need to thank me" he smiled, it was that adorable smile again and this time I got butterflies.
