||Michaels POV||
We walked back to school in a peaceful silence. It wasn't awkward, just relaxing and comforting. His hand was holding onto mine as we walked back through the school gates. I noticed the group that I always hung out with giving me dirty looks. They started walking behind us and then sped up. Ashton walk into me and muttered. "Gee, thought ya were our mate Clifford," They walked away silently. Only then I let I noticed Luke trying to stop holding my hand. There were tears in his eyes. I dragged him over to the back of the school and he sank down, sobbing. I put my arms around him. "Hey,hey! Don't cry, what's wrong?" He managed to stutter through tears: "it's all my f-fault! I-if I ha-hadn't come, th-they wouldn't b-be mad a-at you! I should just l-leave!He sobbed into my shoulder as I rocked him back and forth. " Don't be stupid Lucas Hemmings you should never leave I would miss you too much!'" He looked up on an impulse "I love you" he said, hugging me. I was shocked. "um... I love you too Luke."
That's why I never knew. I hadn't said it to make him feel better. I mean, I had meant to, but after I realized I actually meant it. And then I knew, all because of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed penguin kid. And yes I know his name. It's Luke Robert Hemmings.
