Chapter 14

~Luke’s pov~

I sat in homeroom, one door down from Luna’s homeroom. I sat in the back seat by the window thinking about how students can put up with this every single day. I been sitting for barely ten minutes and it already feels like my head is going to explode. I raised my hand and waited patiently for the teacher to call on me.

“Yes Mr. Tine?” The teacher asked rudely which caused everyone in the class to turn and look at me.

“May I be excused to the bathroom?” I asked politely unfazed by the eyes looking at me.

“Yes you may, take the hall pass.” He said before pointing to a wooden block that said Hall pass.

I got up quickly and rushed over to the teacher’s desk, grabbed the hall pass and rushed out the door to the restroom. I stared at the mirror seeing my pale reflection. I decided to waste time before going back to class so I started to make faces at my reflection which mirrored my every expression perfectly. A random guy walked in the bathroom and stared at me wide eyed; he then started cracking up and laughing at me.

I gave him a smug look. “What? I’m wasting time; homeroom is too boring for my taste.”

He stopped laughing before smiling at me widely. “Man, I know what you mean. I’m wasting time too. You want to ditch?”

I thought about it for a minute before replying. “Nah man, I can’t leave my girl without letting her know. Sorry man, how about some other time and by the way, I’m Luke Tine and you are?” I extended my hand out for him to shake.

He chuckled and said. “No problem man, we can ditch whenever you’re down and I’m Austin Blakely; Mr. Blakely is my father.” He extended his hand to grab mines and shook it with a firm grip.

“Alright Austin, I got to go. See you around.” I said before walking out of the bathroom and back towards homeroom.

I sighed as the entrance to my homeroom neared. I walked in just to be stopped by the teacher. He gave me a curious look before asking me a question. “What took you so long Mr. Tine; you weren’t planning to ditch class were you?”

I sighed warily before answering, catching a girl’s attention. “Of course not, why would I want to miss a minute of homeroom?” The girl giggled and the teacher gave me a cold stare.

“Very well, go back to your seat and write down what’s on the board.” He snapped before turning towards the girl. “Perhaps you like to share what’s so funny Ms. Valentine.”

She smirked before changing her expression to seriousness. “Oh course not Mr. Mandez.” He stared at her before returning his attention back to the black board and continuing his lesson plan.

I took a nap for the rest of class; the bell waking me up from my peaceful sleep. I groaned and got up racing out the door in time to collide with Luna. I smiled at her and she returned it. I had 2nd period with Jayden and Luna. I smiled happily as we made our way to class.

~Angel Valentine’s pov~

I giggled as Luke answered Mr. Mandez’s question. The rest of class flew on by but I barely noticed. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of Luke; he looked so peaceful and dreamy. I will win him over, I smirked. The bell rang and Luke woke up and rushed out of the room and collided with “that girl”. I became angry as I saw him smile at her before going to 2nd period with her. I checked my schedule for 2nd; Pre-cal with Ms. Moore. I hope I have it with Luke. I sighed happily as I walked in the classroom that Luke has just gone into. I saw him sitting next to that girl and I glared at her. I walked faster and took the seat right behind him before anyone else could. Soon my group of popular friends crowded around me.
