Poison《Vampire Luke Hemmings》

Chapter 14 The Blind Dove

All uneasiness left my brother as I walked with an extra spring in my step. I was excited about today, but at the same time very nervous. I tried texting Luke to ask him how the talk with Calum went, but he never answered. I thought about texting Calum, but figured it would lead to a conversation I was not ready for at the time.

"Have a good day, alright?", Ashton stated with a warm smile as he pulled over to the front of the school. I returned the smile, "alright, I'll see you after my seven hour sentence is over". I heard Ashton's laughter as I exited the vehicle with my book bags and began to walk to the front doors.

I was not sure if it was all in my head. But all I could feel were stares. All I could hear were whispers and laughter.

I avoided eye contact with anyone as my mind began to pull up ideas of the other personal information Katie managed to spiel thanks to her reliable source, Beth.

Anger and regret began to bubble within me at the mention of that back stabber, and I chose to negate my thoughts and search the area for Calum. I was not sure what I was expecting would occur in our conversation, nor did I really have any idea what to say. All I knew is that this discussion needed to occur and if all goes well I could have a boyfriend after this. And if not, well hopefully I'll still have him as my bestfriend.

I reached my locker and began to switch out materials. My eyes remained in the hallway, waiting for the raven-haired boy.

After collecting all my materials I closed the locker door shut and leaned on the metal material with my back as my eyes surveyed the area. Calum was not in the area.

Five minutes passed. Then ten. Then fifteen. I looked up at the clock and saw I only had three minutes until my next class started. I sighed in defeat as I trudged down the hallway toward my first period course room.

Maybe Luke wasn't able to talk to him? Or maybe he is avoiding me? I shook my head. No. Calum and I are too good of friends. He wouldn't avoid me over a small crush. But then again, I had the same expectations of loyalty with Beth as well.

As I walked into the classroom I saw my ex-bestfriend sitting on some random boy's lap smacking her bubble gum in her tight booty shorts. I mentally barfed at the sight and walked over to my seat. I had attempted to ignore Beth but her laughter and smacking of the gum made it nearly impossible.

My eyes darted back to the blonde haired girl as she smoothly ran her hand though the boy's hair and batted her eyelashes. The boy was blushing at the attention as his hands ran down to Beth's black scarf. A scarf? It was spring and summer was just around the corner. Why in God's name would she be wearing a scarf?

Beth shrieked at the boy's touch as the scarf began to be pulled down. She smacked away his hand and pulled back up, seeming panicked. She hopped of the boy's lap and darted to her seat, holding her scarf up.

The boy she had left seemed confused on her reaction and fell back in his seat with embaressment, avoiding his classmates' gaze. I also found little logic for Beth's odd reaction. But then again, I am not sure I even know her anymore.

After class dismissed, I rushed over to my Anatomy and Physiology hoping to ask Luke about his conversation with Calum yesterday. Unfortunately, I was met with disapointment, for the long legged blonde was not in attendance.

I was disappointed, not just for the reason that I was forced to do lab work by myself, but also because I still had an abscence of information on Calum. Why wasn't Luke here? He couldn't have gotten sick, could he?

After Anatomy and Physiology ended I shot him a text asking him how he was doing. I did not receive a response by the time I reached the studio and changed into my dance wear.
