luke couldn't focus in any of his classes for the rest of the day, michaels voice still echoing out in his mind. he didn't even know the guy, but here he was thinking about the look that he had given him.

he was snapped out of his thoughts when the bell rang for the last time that day, causing a relieved sigh to leave the boys lips. he stood up slowly, the back of his bare legs sticking to the hard, plastic chairs. grabbing his books he walked out of his room and made his way towards his locker. once arriving there he put away his books and placed the ones he needed for homework in his back pack.

hoisting the bag that was nearly larger than him onto his back, he began to trudge towards the exit. holding the straps of the back pack in his small hands, he took a deep breath of the fresh air.

he looked around the parking lot, sighing when he didnt see his mothers car. after a while of waiting for her to maybe show up he decided he would just walk home.

as he began his walk, he heard the threatening rumble of thunder, a cool breeze blowing against his back and up into his spine. goosebumps soon rose on his porcelain skin, rain starting to drizzle down on him and his surroundings.

he groaned as the soft rain began to pour from the sky above. the boy was soaking wet, even more so when a black car drove my, splashing the water from a puddle onto his entire body.

he mentally cursed and glared at the car as it stopped. paying no attention to it, he looked down at his feet and continued to walk. while making his way past the parked car, he heard the faint roll of a window and someone telling him to get inside.

he could recognize that voice  anywhere now. turning around, he looked at the tattooed male and quickly scrambled to the back seat of the car and climbed in.

sure he shouldnt have gotten into a car with an older boy that he only had one encounter with, but what could go wrong? actually, a lot of things could go wrong but that didnt seem to be an issue for the young boy.

michael looked through the review mirror at the blonde and gave a warm smile. luke returned the smile as he sat in the backseat, dripping wet.

the older male kept pestering luke on what his address was, but the younger refused to tell. giving into the smaller boy, Michael dropped him off at the corner in which he was directed to. luke got out of the car and started to walk down the wet sidewalk, a light rain still dripping down on his mess of a hair.

as he reached his house, he jiggled the doorknob, groaning loudly as he realized it was locked. he tried knocking to see if anyone was home but then he remembered that his mom was gone away for a week at most for something work related.

he recalled his mother saying earlier that day to make sure he had his key, in which he ignored at left it sitting on his dresser. groaning to himself, he threw his book bag off and sunk down against the door, the rain still pouring down over his cold and shivering body. reaching into his book bag and pulling it out, he went to go call someone but realized that one, his phone was dead and two, he had no one to call.

he eventually slumped over on the small pavement step, his pillow being his hard book bag. with enough time, rain, and tears, luke managed to somehow fall asleep. although his body was shaking and trembling from the low temperatures, he managed to stay asleep for a decent amount of time.

the small boy was not aware of what time it was but it must of still be early enough because there was still the light of the sunset shining out of the clouded skies. by this time It had stopped raining, however luke was still soaking wet with no change of clothes.

a loud honk cause him to snap his head upward to see the same car that had driven him home after school. as luke just sat there he saw the car door open and the same tattooed male walking up to him.

"why are you outside? and why are you all wet?" he frowned when he saw the state of the boy.

"i'm locked out, but its fine..." he mumbled, not wanting to make the boy feel pity on him.

Michael frowned, noticing that it was way after 8eight o'clock. "you're coming to stay with me, ill bring you back tomorrow before school if you want."

luke shook his head and opened his mouth to deny the boys plans but before he knew it he was being picked up and placed in the backseat on the car where he curled up on his side and closed his eyes slowly.
