**Jessicas POV**
Luke is so cute. His light brown hair, perfect tan and greeny blue eyes. His smile is the most amazing thing! the way he puts his hand on my back as we walk and the way he cared about me when Amanda pushed me. Aww i cant describe!!
As we head to detention all i can think about is how much i want to hold his hand and feel our fingers intwined. Stop it, stop it! You have Lucas, Lucas is perfect for you. Ha! Lucas, Luke i must have a thing for people with names like that. Wait. What are you even thinking Jess?
We try to push past a couple making out in the hallway but i end up with a sweaty hand in my face pushing me away from there love scene. I just want to walk past! Eventually Luke and I make it to detention and we are quite late. The teacher taking detention is an old man with a stern expression and lots if wrinkles. He has barely any hair, but the hair hes got is snow white. He folds his arms crossly and glares at us. Embarrassed and intimidated we hurriedly sit in two desks at the back.
Joe, Lukes friend that laughed when we were getting in trouble, is seated at the front next to a girl with long curly brown hair and a nose and lip peircing. Joes staring at her so intently with an expression on his fave that explains exactly what hes thinking about her. Gross! In the seat in front of me is a punk looking boy with spiky black hair tons of piercings and a wierd tatoo on the back of his neck. There are too gossiping girls sitting next to Luke. Who look so bored.
"Right detention!" The teacher begins.
"For those who don't know me, my names Mr Franklin. You may call me nothing else." One of the gossip girls hand shoots up, but Mr Franklin ignores it deliberately.
"You know the rules of detention! I expect you to follow them." I hear shouting in the corridor and a whole lot of swearing.
"I will be right back." Mr Franklin exclaims.<><><><><><><><><>
Last period i have chemistry. Once again, Luke is in that class. We head there together. He stands incredibly close to me, protectively close. Maybe of my long distance relationship doesn't work, i could give Luke a shot. Who am i kidding! Aguy like him and me? Probably not. Hes just being nice because its my first day.
We take seats at a random desk at the back of the class. The teacher is the same man from detention. Mr Franklin. The first thing he does is assign lab partners.
"Write your name on a peice of paper, fold it and put it in this box please class." He instructs. We all do as he says. He then chooses 11 random people (which is half the class) to come pick a name from the box. When its Lukes turn i zone back in and hope he picks out my name.
"Erin" He says. A girl, im guessing Erin, stands up excitedly. She has bleached blonde hair, brown eyes and a smile of a girl who is glad to be with a hot guy like Luke. Goddamnit.The next person to choose from the box. Is a boy with big glasses and curly brown hair. Hes quite tall and skinny. Cute in a completely different way from Luke. His names Cameron.
"Jessica." he says. I gather my stuff from the desk and go join him at another at the front if class.
"Hey Cameron." i say trying to make conversation.
"Hey" he whispers back.
"Your the new girl right?"
"Yeah"
"I know what it's like its kind if hard. Made any friends?"
"One i guess"
"Haha your doing well then. I was new a year ago still got no friends." He smiles sadly at me then continues drawing on his science book. Hes incredibly good at drawing. He drew a woman's face that looks exactly like a girl i recognise from my English class.<><><><><><><><><>
After school i wait at the entrance for Ryley and Cassie. Out if the corner if my eye i see Luke and an just about to go and say hi when I notice Erin standing with him. She's obviously flirting the way she looks up at him and the way she giggles and flutters her fake eyelashes. But why should i care, right?
I stubbornly turn away and ignore the Flirt Fest going in behind me. After about 5 minutes i see Ryley and Cass making there toward me.
"Hey guys!" i call to them.
"Hey." they say in unison. We walk to the corner which is our meeting spot and dad and Rachel are already there.
"You survived!" dad exclaimed.
"Ha! barely" i exaggerate. We like into the car and start heading home. I notice we take a different turn on our way home.
"Where are we going?" i ask curiously.
"Oh just somewhere to celebrate your full day in a new school and new country." Rachel explains. Dad winks at me.<><><><><><><><><>
After about 15 minutes we park inside a mall parking lot. We all march inside the humongous mall. Ryley and I are amazed. The malls in New Zealand that we thoughtfully we big are miniscule compared to this! We head for the food court which isn't too busy at the moment. They have way better food as well. Taco Bell, Chipotle, even Starbucks! In a mall! We all order some food. And find an empty table. What a great way to spend our afternoon. We do a little shopping afterwards but not much.
<><><><><><><><><>
I get home later that evening and collapse onto my bed. As soon as i open my laptop, i get a Skype call from Lucas. For a second, i actually hesitate from answering. Shaking away my feelings of doubt, i answer the call.
"Hey babe!" he exclaims. Hes in bedroom all ready in his pajamas. His hair is cute and messy and his smile tired.
"Its hard to sleep without you lying next to me." he says as if reading my thoughts.
"Aww i know i miss you too. Its only been two days but just knowing it will be much much longer makes it harder."
"How is everything there anyway? Big city right!?" I explain everything to Lucas; well everything besides the fact i meet a really hot guy who i have been having some thoughts about...
We talked for nearly an hour when my dad called me for dinner.
"I have to go. Love you Lucas." And before he could reply i hang up. And rush to the kitchen.After dinner i go back to my room and go on my phone this time. I have 7 texts from Luke and 3 missed calls. How did he even get my number anyway!? I go look at them and they are just random stuff about school and about meeting me today. I dont really feel up to texting him right now. What, with the whole Erin thing and i don't think i should be hanging around a guy who could potentially cause me to end my relationship with Lucas.
Oh but Luke is so perfect!
I KNOW THIS WAS KIND OF BORING BUT TRUST ME NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE DIFFERENT. ANYWAYY THANKS HEAPS FOR READING YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH!! SO HANG IN THERE FOR CHAPTER 10!!!
