Hailey's p.o.v

I have always been a shy, awkward person so I try to avoid award situations as much as I can because I have no idea how to handle them. So there I was standing in the hallway looking around, scared to see the blonde head of hair that stood out from the crowd since he was a fucking giraffe.

"Hey!"

I jumped and screamed when I heard the voice yell right in my ear. When I turned around I found Lauren laughing loudly while holding her stomach.

"Fuck you Lauren"

"What's got you all jumpy?" She grinned

"Nothing"

"Oh my god it's Luke isn't it?"

"Of course not" I huffed

"Yes it is! Aw you're so awkward it's cute"

"Shut up" I blushed "you're even worse"

"No I'm not!" She gasped

"Yes you are"

"Shut up"

I grinned proudly at my victory.

"But why are you so scared of seing him?"

"Because I wouldn't know how to act now, it'll be awkward"

"Only if you make it awkward"

"But I am awkward!" I yelled

"Can't argue that" she muttered

"Exactly. So just..." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "just let me ignore him like I do with all my problems"

"You'll have to talk to him about it eventually"

"Yeah well not today"

"Fine, come on we'll be late"

Today was the first day that I completely dreaded lunch (except that one day Lauren didn't come to school), usually you stare at the clock to count down the minutes until lunch, but today I was staring at it hoping the class would never end so I wouldn't have to face my problems. Of course the bell eventually rang and I had to drag my feet to the cafeteria.

Much to my dislike Lauren insisted we sat at their table because "we couldn't let one little thing ruin a good friendship" but deep down we both knew she just wanted to be close to Michael.

When we got to the table Luke noticed me and immediately looked down at his food, I sat on the other end of the table. He lifted his gaze to look at me and I quickly looked down.
Everyone started conversation but I stayed quiet and so did Luke, we basically spent the whole time avoiding each other's gaze.

"What's going on with you two?" I heard calum say while looking between the two of us.

"Nothing" we both muttered and looked down

"Luke what did you do?"

"Nothing!"

"Luke..."

"Something..." he sighed.

"Wanna tell me what you did?"

"Uh...no"

"Hailey how did Lucas fuck up this time?" All the eyes on the table fell on me and I felt my cheeks get an even darker red color.

"Uh..." just then the bell rang and I smirked and got up "gotta go ot I'll be late for class, bye" I waved and walked away.

***
I debated whether or not I should stay in school this afternoon. I knew that if I went home I wasn't gonna get my work done because I would get distracted too easily but I also knew if I stayed I could run into Luke.

I finally decided to stay and pray he went home.

When I was comming out I noticed Luke comming out of the music room as well, I considered running away but he would probably see me and think I was rude.

"Oh uh...hey Hailey"

"Hi Luke"

We looked at each other and the ground for a while until I decided to end this awkward hell.

"I uh...I have to go..."

"Hailey" he sighed running a hand through his hair "I'm really sorry about the other day k didn't mean to make things awkward between us, I don't know why I even did that"

Part of me was glad he was talking to me but another part was hurt that he regretted it, I had some hope that he did like me but all that hope had just vanished.

"It's fine, really"

"So...we're good?"

"We're good" I nodded, then his phone went off and my stomach dropped.

"I have to go..."

"Yeah" I sighed "Luke please stop staying here late, it hurts you even more"

'But I hate spending time at my house, I don't wanna go there"

"You're making your mom angry"

"Look I really have to go, we'll talk later okay?"

"Fine"

"Bye Hailey"
