Project MC2: Southwood Academy

Luke /Five\

HEYYY! I figured since I didn't do a picture for McKeyla's chapter I'd do one for Luke's. Enjoy!

McKeyla had rushed off to help Camryn and I was left alone. Ashton and Calum had disappeared, too. Along with Bryden.

Micheal sat in our dorm, throwing a tennis ball against the wall and catching it. He seemed upset.

"Alright," I said, pulling a chair to me and sitting on it backwards. "Talk to me brother."

He let out a sigh, before rolling over with his back to me. "I want to, man. I just don't think that you would understand. You have a girl. I have a sister."

"A sister? Man, what are you talking about? I thought you and Cam totally hit it off." I said, confusion in my voice.

"Me too, but apparently not." He rolled over to face me. "She started acting all upset. Then, I talked to the counselor and she prescribed antibiotics that would help Cam..."

My mouth dropped. "You gave Camryn Coyle antibiotics? Major girl party foul, dude." I was laughing, but he didn't think it was funny.

"I was just trying to help her!" He screamed into his pillow. "Then she got on me about not needing help, and saying that I was ignorant."

I nodded, listening. He kept talking. "She rambled on about how she wasn't mental and didn't need any help. I told her that she needed someone to love, and someone to make feel safe!"

"What did she say to that?" I asked. He scoffed. This must've been bad. He's never had an attitude like this.

"You don't make me feel safe, you make me feel mental!" Micheal mimicked her. "And I wanted to say to her, shut up and listen. I love you, and you need to get better."

I was about to say something when I was cut off. "Then, why didn't you, Micheal?" It wasn't Micheal, it was...

"Camryn." Micheal muttered. "What are you doing here? I thought you took some time to clear your head."

She looked guilty. "I'm gonna head over to McKeyla's." I said, standing up and pulling on my shoes.

Camryn stopped me. "Don't, you can't find her there. Check Adrienne's. She's there." I nodded, going out the door. I heard the door lock on the other side.

Shoot, I forgot where the dorm was. Wait, I know where Niall's is. That's Adri's best friend. I went to Niall's, and knocked on the door across from his room.

Adrienne opened the door. She smiled a sad smile. "Come in, we ordered pizza." She stepped aside and Calum practically ran me over.

"Dude! I haven't seen you in forever!" he laughed, hugging me tightly. McKeyla waved at me. I wrapped my arms around her. But something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I looked over to Calum and he wore the exact same look McKeyla was wearing. I looked at Adrienne, who shrugged.

"We went to a share circle, Luke." McKeyla said. "And we were talking about stuff that made us mad about our partners, what they were oblivious to..." her voice ran dry.

"I'll go first," Cal said, patting McKeyla's bare thigh. That in itself made me shoot a glare at him. He turned to Adrienne.

"Niall's in love with you, and you're oblivious to it." Calum said. Adrienne gasped, getting up and walking across the room to the door. She was headed towards Niall's.

Calum followed her. She stopped him, though. "You're not allowed to come in. You'll hurt him. I know your temper, Calum. Stay out of this one." She told him.

Calum shrugged and walked down the hall. I didn't know what was going on. Was it the same thing? Who would be in love with me?

"Camryn's in love with you, and you're oblivious to it." McKeyla said. Oh no! Is that what Cam was telling Micheal?! He's gonna hate me!

I let out a loud, involuntary sigh. "He's gonna hate me now." I rolled my eyes. She furrowed her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, like she didn't understand.

"Who, Micheal?" She said. I ran my fingers through my hair, messing up my quiff. "No, him and Camryn are just friends."

"No, McKeyla. He wants to be with her. Michael poured his heart out to me, he trusted me, he confided in me! Now he's gonna think I screwed it all up on purpose."

"I'm sorry," McKeyla said, looking down at her boots. "This is my fault, and I'm sorry. I should go. Bye. Go make it right." She said with no emotion.

I grabbed her wrist, stopping her from leaving. "Wait, McKeyla! Where are you going? We are not over! Please do not break my heart! Tell me you're joking."

McKeyla let out a quiet sob, before turning to face me. "Go, Luke. Find someone better, better than me. Go make things right with Micheal. I'm the screwup. Bye."

And she left.
