and the night when the cold wind blows. no one cares, nobody knows.

luke was sitting in his desk at school the next morning, finishing up some homework he forgot to do the night before.

as he was thinking about why george orwell wrote the novel 1984, calum took a seat next to him and was smiling a mischievous grin at luke.

he looked up from his work and sighed, "what did you do now calum?"

cal rolled his eyes, "why do you always suspect that I did something bad? i'm a child of god luke", the blonde boy laughed and let calum continue talking. "gavin sanders is having a halloween party tomorrow, it's going to be sick dude. i was wondering if you wanted to come with me?"

luke thought about it for a second.

he hadn't been to a party since he got kicked out of private school, and he didn't have anything else to do tomorrow other than stay at home and give candy to little kids with weird mainstream outfits of their favorite characters. what harm could be done?

"yeah i'll tag along, do we have to dress up? cause if we do i need to go look for a costume" he asked.

"don't worry bud, i got you covered" calum said with a playful wink.

luke laughed, "okay, now i'm scared".

the day went on with no drama from jason, no annoying people, and no homework for the day. luke had just finished his last class of the day and was walking towards his mom's car in the harsh rain. he really needed his own car, he thought as he got in and said hi to his mum.

liz gave him a small kiss on the cheek, "how was your day today?" she asked pulling out of the parking lot.

"it was good, everything's good" looking out the window, luke's mind was somewhere else, something that had been happening a lot lately.

luke never told anyone but he felt lost with a lot that was going on as of right now, he didn't know why, but life was just confusing to him at the moment. he didn't hate life, he just wasn't exactly happy. something that he didn't start questioning till now and luke had no idea why he's felt that way lately. he sighed quietly and his gazing was interrupted by a beautiful sight.

michael walking in the rain. luke watched him carefully and furrowed his eyebrows at the boy.

"please stop the car mum, where that boy is walking", Luke said pointing to michael.

"you know the boy?"

"you can say that" luke mumbled getting out of the car and walking towards michael, standing in front of him which caused the bad boy to stop walking.

his newly dyed hair was flat and the black color was running down the sides of his face. his clothing was damp and his nose along with his cheeks were flushed lightly red, due to the cold. he looked so cute, luke thought.

"um hey" was all luke said.

michael laughed slightly, "hey, what are you doing?". he saw luke's hair get damp along with his clothes slowly, "get back inside the car, you're gonna get sick luke."

"do you need a ride home?" the blonde shivered.

"no, i'm fine. now go"

"michael." he looked at michael with pleading eyes. luke didn't want michael walking in the rain, he didn't want him to get a cold, he didn't want to leave him here. he cared about michael. "please, i don't want you getting sick and it's no problem if i give you a ride"

michael was hesitant on whether he should take it or not. he didn't want luke to see where michael really lived, he didn't want him to see how messed up his life really was. he doesn't want luke to realize and run away from him. he was embarrassed.

but,

if he did take the offer he wouldn't have to walk in the rain, and it sure would save him a beating if he got there on time for once.

he nodded slowly, "okay"

luke smiled softly and took michael's hand, pulling him to the car.

they both got in and luke introduced michael to his mum and vice versa.

michael gave them the address and they were off. he was fiddling his fingers in his lap, looking quite uncomfortable. luke noticed and wondered why michael was so nervous.

they arrived at the location, the house was really nice. so what was michael so worried about?

"thank you for the ride mrs. hemmings, it means a lot", he then turned to luke, "thanks lucas"

luke rolled his eyes and the name and smiled as the boy got out.

as they waved at him and drove off, luke looked into the rear view mirror and noticed that michael was walking away from the house they dropped him off at and deeper into the neighborhood.

why did michael lie about where he lived?
