Caught between Lovers

Chapter 2

-Louis's POV

After quietly sitting in the library reading I heard the 10 minute warning bell that signaled I had to get going. My first class is biology, I rushed up the stairs and made it with 2 minutes to spare. At sat at my table alone. There was an uneven number of students in the class, so I had to be by myself without a lab partner. That's ok  though, I tend to work better alone.

"Attention class, we have a new student joining us today." Mr. Freely said.

I knew that meant that I had a lab partner and he was one of those mysterious triplets.

"Class, this is Luke Styles." He said moving out of the way to reveal the boy. He was fairly tall, maybe a few inches shorter than Mr. Freely. He had long brown hair that seemed to stop before it could turn curly at the end. He wore tight black jeans and a matching black t-shirt.

"Luke and his brothers Marcel and Harry just moved here from Cheshire, isn't that right?" Mr. Freely asked.

"Yeah." Luke said in a very low and raspy voice which I found very attractive.

"Now class while I'm getting Mr. Styles supplied you continue to work on your assignment from yesterday." Mr. Freely said.

I knew I probably had to wait because Luke was going to end up being my lab partner. After a few minutes I saw Luke make his way to the empty seat at the table.

"Hey the old man says I'm your new lab partner." He said and once again I couldn't get over his voice.

"I'm Louis."

"Luke, but I'm pretty sure you already knew that."

"...Yeah." I hesitantly said. There was something about Luke that I felt attracted to. A sense of danger that also felt safe. Like I could get hurt by him but he'd also try to protect me.

"So what's this assignment anyway?" He asked me.

"We're supposed to figure out which animals would go into which environment based on plant life in that area. I put a few in already."

"You put the koala in the forest?" He asked me.

"No, I put the koala in the outback."

"No, you put it in the forest." He said sounding sure of himself.

I looked over the description again to that Luke was right. I changed the error and saw that he had a devious smile on his face for correcting me. As we continued our work Luke stopped to listen in on the guy's behind us. They were talking not knowing that Luke was ease dropping on them.

"You that guy Luke's brother Marcel?" One guy said.

"You mean that nerd?" The other asked.

"Yeah this morning he was on his way to class and he completely tripped over and his papers flew everywhere. It was hysterical, that loser can't even keep himself up." The two boys then started laughing.

"THAT LOSER IS MY BROTHER!" Luke said turning around a clenching his fists.

"So what are you going to do about?" The boy taunted.

What happened next was a huge shock to me. Luke swung a punch against the boy's face and he went down in an instant. He didn't wake up, Luke had knocked him out cold. Everybody rushed around the boy to make sure he was still breathing.

"Mr. Styles!" Mr. Freely shouted.

"What we're you thinking!?"

"I was thinking that this idoit were insulting my brother."

"But still that still isn't a good reason for you to knock him out, Mr. Styles I'm afraid I'll have to send you to the principle's office." Mr. Freely said handing Luke a yellow slip.

He stormed out of the room and while everyone else was focused on getting the boy to the nurse's office, I was more interested in why Luke just attacked that boy. Then I remember that thing I felt when I first talked to him. It was that thing that made him seem dangerous yet safe at the same time. Also I couldn't help but remember hoe big his are muscles where when he punched the kid. I defiantly have something for Luke, but let's just see if I meet the other two Styles boys and how they are, Apparently  Marcel is the opposite of Luke a quiet nerdy boy. And I have no clue what so ever of what Harry is like. But soon I would know how these other two act.
