Buzz ... Buzz ... Buzz

I groaned and stirred around in my bed before turning my alarm clock off. I swung my legs over the bed and rubbed my heavy eyes. I stood up and walked to my closet, picked an outfit, got a towel, than went to my bathroom to take a shower. I turned the water on and occasionally checked the temperature with my hand. When it was just right I stepped into the shower. The hot droplets started to wake me up as I lathered my long gold locks with coconut shampoo and conditioner. I then washed my body with a mango body wash that I recently got at bath and body works. When I was done I stepped out and dried myself off. I got dresed in a white and pink floral dress that cut off a little bit above my knees and paired it with black toms. I than did brushed my teeth and did my makeup which consisted with a little foundation, eye liner, mascara, and pastel pink lipstick. I went back to my room and got my white backpack than headed downstairs. I ate an apple than grabbed a watter bottle from the fridge to go. "Bye Dad!" I called out upstairs as I grabbed my car keys. "Bye sweetie!" I heard him yell back down before walking out to my car.

I pulled up to school and walked up to my locker. I was just about done putting some of my stuff inside when I felt 2 hands across my eyes and saw nothing but darkness. "Guess who." "Hmmmm... is it Michael?" I said, obviously knowing it was him, then turning to face him. "How'd you know damnit?!" He said with a pouty face. "Michael, I've known you since second grade. I think I know what your voice sounds like." I said adding a laugh while I continued to put my stuff in my locker. "I guess so. Hey- are you ready to get to homeroom? It's about time to get going" "Sure, lets go." I closed my locker and we walked to homeroom together, bringing up small talk. As Michael and I sat down people started filling into the class since the 1 minute bell just rang. As I was talking with Michael I felt a light brush against my shoulder. When I turned to look at who brushed against me I saw him smirking at me before he took his seat in the back off the classroom. Him was Luke Hemmings. I guess you could say he's the bad boy of the school, I mean, he has sleeves of tattoos, his lip, ears, nose, and eyebrow are all pierced, he gets drunk and high a lot, and he also goes to a bunch of parties where he picks up girls to hookup with. He's so rude to everybody and has a terrible attitude yet I'm just so fascinated with him, even though he has treated me like dirt nearly my whole life. "I hate that guy." Michael mummbled in my ear. I have no clue why Michael hates Luke so much, but he does, has since we met but I never bothered asking why he hates Luke because I figured that it was none of my business. I just nodded to Michael, not knowing how to reply. When the bell rang our teacher started lecturing us on bullying and told us that we were watching a documentary about bullying in class. I tried so hard to focus on the video but I found myself repeatedly looking back at Luke. When he caught me staring he gave me a sly smirk and a wink before I quickly turned back around to hide me from blushing. At the end of class I quickly rushed to my next class, which was science. Unfortunately, I had this class with Luke as well, in a matter of fact, I had a lot of classes with him. I also didn't have this class with Michael or my other 3 friends, Alexis, Calum and Ashton. I sat myself in my seat, I was a little early but that was good, it gave me extra time to study for our test that was coming up in a couple of days. Every once in a while I'd look up to see if Luke was here yet, although, he's late to almost every class so I don't know why I found myself always looking up. To be honest, I was surprised he was even on time for homeroom. The tardy bell rang and our teacher started talking to us. About 10 minutes later the door swung open and our teacher stopped in midsentence to see who was here, even though I'm pretty sure she already knew it was Luke. "Mr.Hemmings, late again I see." "You know it." He said with a smirk playing at his lips before taking his seat that just so happend to be behind me. Our teacher, Mrs. Williams, just sighed and continued on with the lesson. As I was taking notes I felt something hit my back. I turned around to see Luke gesturing for me to look down with his eyes. I looked down to see a neatly folded piece of paper. I unravled it to see messy handwriting.

Liked what you saw in homeroom? xx -Luke

I knew that if I turned around to face him him he would have a grin on his face.

I wasn't looking at you, I was looking at the poster behind you. -Sarah

I handed him back the piece of paper when Mrs.William turned to face the chalkboard. A couple minutes later I felt the piece of paper again.

Keep tellin yourself that sweetheart... What do ya say to coming to my place after school? We can get doped up and you can sleep over. xx -Luke

Doped up? Pretty sure that meant getting high. But I was not going to his place just to be his whore of the night.

I will not come to your place just to be your little slut and get high! -Sarah

This time handing it back to him I almost got caught. I quickly read what Luke wrote when I got the paper back.

Don't act like you've never wanted to be high before. You probably don't want to come over because Michael wouldn't want you to. xx -Luke

I scribbled my response very fast, mad that he brought Michael up in this.

Actually, I've never wanted to be high before! And don't you dare bring Michael into this you asshole! Maybe I don't want to come over because I just plain don't want to come over! Michael has nothing to do with my choices! Now if you could kindly fuck off, that'd be great. -Sarah

Seconds later the paper was back at me and there was barely any room left.

Feisty. I like that. It'll just make it harder for me to make you mine. (Which you will be, just wait.) xx -Luke

I'd rather be dead than to be called yours, you dick. -Sarah

To give you an idea on how Luke and mines aquatint-ship worked, this is probably the friendliest conversation we've ever had. As to what I wrote, I guess that wasn't exactly true, but I handed it back to him anyways.

It was now nearing the end of history, which thankfully is the class before I get to head to lunch and get away from Luke and to my friends. "Alright for this project we'll be working in partners," Almost everybody turned and gave their friend 'the look' that said 'were partners right?' I got a little nervous since I didn't have a friend to give that look to. "Don't get too excited, I already picked the partners." There was a bunch of groans that filled the room and I was now a little relieved. "I know, I know, Mr.Burell you're the worst teacher" He said with a smile, mocking what some kids were probably thinking. He pulled out a list from his desk and started reading off the names. "Jeremy and Amanda, Levi and Bruce, Lucy and Jennifer, Sarah and Luke," He continued reading off names but I didn't pay attention because I was to busy freaking out on the inside. I didn't dare to look back at Luke. When the bell rang I swear I had never walked that fast in my life to get out of there. I reached my locker to get my luchbox and sighed. Why me. As I started my way down to the cafeteria I felt an arm slither around my waist, I looked down to see that the arm was covered in tattoos. Great!. "I guess you will be coming to my house tonight afterall." His deep, raspy voice sent shivers down my spine. "Yeah I guess. But I swear to god, if you get high, drunk, or try any funny business I'm asking Mr.Burell for a new partner and you'll be doing this project by yourself." He slightly chuckled. "I'll meet you at your locker after school babe." He quickly pecked my cheek before strolling forward. What the actual fuck. Why is he being so nice to me? I grazed my hand where he had just kissed me. A tingling sensation was there. I brushed it off and soon found myself sitting at the lunch table my friends and I usually sat at. They all greeted me and I said my hello's back. "So how's your day been?" Calum asked me, taking a bite of his pizza after. "You guys really want to know?" They all nodded their heads, so I explained to them my day with Luke. "If he tries anything on you while you're at his house please don't hesitate to call any one of us to pick you up okay?" Alexis said with concern and worry in her eyes. "I will, I swear." Alexis is a great friend, she's so loving and caring, I'm so glad that she's in my life. The rest of the time we spent messing around, and I couldn't help but feel like there were eyes burning into the back of my head. So when I just couldn't stand it anymore, I turned around. It was Luke.
