Chapter 6

Paige's P.O.V

To say I had a great weekend would be a lie. I was dying of anticipation to see Luke again. I had to wait until Monday. Normally Monday's are the worse day of the week but this time, Monday's could just turn out to be a great day for once.

I woke on Monday morning to my alarm, which I turned off immediately and checked my phone. I had a text from Luke.

Luke: Good Morning Paige. :D

I texted back,

Paige: Morning Luke Lip-ring ;)

I smirked slightly. That nickname is better than Lu and it will remind him of Friday.

I get ready for school, wearing black skinny jeans, my black deathly hallows t-shirt, chunky black ankle boots and my black coat. 

I go down into the kitchen and my mum is sitting at the table.

"Good Morning Paige." She smiles at me.

"Morning" I simply say back. Since Friday, I've hardly been around my family. I just can't do it after what I heard. I grab my lunch and some toast from the table and leave. "See you later" I call over my shoulder.

I arrive at school and sort my things at my locker. I hear a particular laugh behind me and smile. I turn to face it; my smile drops. It's Luke laughing with Ashley on his arm with his usual group. As they pass me, Ashley stops the group and approaches me.

"Well, look who it is." Man, she is really repetitive.

"Hello Ashley." I smile, stealing glance at Luke over her shoulder.

"Don't be all polite with me after what you did on Friday. Luke told me everything."

"What?" I look over at Luke but he isn't looking at me, he seems to not care about this conversation.

"He said you begged him to take you from school back to his and you tried it on with him. Haven't I told you? He's mine, you slut."

I glare at Ashley and then Luke. I'm not blushing, this is not embarrassment, this is a moment of pure anger. I walk towards Luke, "What the fuck Luke?" I shove him.

Everyone in the hallway stops and watches what's happening.

Luke looks me dead in the eye and says, "I told her the truth. That is what happened. You did come to mine on Friday and you did kiss me."

Oh that is low! My hands start to shake slightly with anger and my eyes start to pool with tears, "You lying motherfucker. Go to hell, all of you." I shove Luke again and storm away from them to my first class.

I can't believe Luke. Everything he said to me on Friday, everything that we did and he makes it out like I'm a- I'm so fucking stupid. The look in Ashley's eyes when she told me though- smugness, pity. I should have punched her there and then.

I spent the rest of the day and the next few days getting on with school and not engaging with people.

Back to my usual high school self. This week is the last week of term- or semester in American terms. I've been doing my exams and focusing on getting the best grades possible. Everyone else however has been more focused on a winter dance this Saturday. I roll my eyes every time I hear someone mention it- Americans.

I am obviously not going. I have better things to do. I'm obviously lying.

I'm at lunch on Thursday, just today and tomorrow left then no school for two weeks. Thank fuck!
