Confessions of the Lost

The Twilight Zone

Waking up next to Luke had to be the most amazing feeling in the world. With his arms wrapped around me, my whole body felt like it was covered in pure perfection. That was how I was meant to wake every morning, in his arms, preferably naked. I was glad to be able to say that I wouldn't be forgetting my previous night anytime soon. That would be one of those everlasting memories. One that you turn to when sad, one that could make you smile by just getting a piece of it.  

I wiggled myself in closer to him, loving the way our bodies seemed to fit together so perfectly. I knew we couldn't stay like this forever, but I wanted to. I didn't want to go to school and deal with reality. I liked the reality where it was Luke and my friends. I liked the one where I could see him whenever I wanted and didn't have to worry about anything else. Even though we only got those moments in small amounts, especially with Anna running around.  

"Why are you awake," Luke asked, causing me to jump and ram my head into his chin. "Ok, I get it. No speaking in the morning." 

I pulled my body away from Luke's and then rolled towards him so that our faces were only a few inches apart, "I'm so sorry, I swear I don't do it on purpose." 

"I know babe," he leaned in and left a small kiss on my nose. "We should get up, we both have to shower." 

"Or we could stay home." 

"Well you can, but my mom would shit bricks if I didn't go to school." He laughed. "I mean literally, she would probably shit an actual brick." 

"Fine, but you might as well shower with me," I said trying to sound put out, "we need to save time and water." 

"Well I suppose if I have to," Luke sighed.  

I laughed as I climbed out of the bed. I walked to my closet and pulled out a thick black robe and covered myself in it. When I turned back around Luke was still lying in the bed, both hands behind his head with a large smile on his face. "What?" I asked.  

"I was just enjoying the view of my very beautiful, very naked girlfriend." 

"Ah, well Mr. Perv, don't forget that you have to stand up too." I said with a smirk. "Aren't you naked also?" I asked tapping my chin, "Yeah I think you are." 

Luke threw the blanket off of himself with more force than necessary and then threw his legs over the side of the bed. He stood up, keeping his body bent over and his butt popped out. He stood up straight and reached his arms above his head and did an over exaggerated stretch. 

"Little much don't ya think?" I asked. Even though I was thoroughly enjoying the view, I couldn't help but give him crap.  

In response he took his arms down and bent over, reaching for his toes. 

"Wow!" I laughed, "That is definitely enough." I grabbed a towel off my floor and threw it at his naked body.  

Luke grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist, "You love this," he said motioning to his body with the hand that wasn't holding the towel. He then lifted his nose into the air and strutted past me and out of the room.  

After our shower, which took a little longer than planned, Luke and I headed to school. My stomach was in knots, I wasn't sure what to expect. Two days ago those people hated me. They pushed me into walls, called me names, and dumped food on me. I didn't know if it could get any worse, but I didn't want it to, and I didn't want it to stay the same either. I didn't want to picked on anymore.  

The second we walked into the school, my whole world was flipped upside down.  

"Oh my gosh Sam, I am so sorry for how I acted."
