No Good | Luke Hemmings A.U

45

(Updated, 2018)

This is so odd.

"Oh look at these drama queens. They're acting like it's prom or something." Riley states as she turns back around. I roll my eyes while shaking my head. Calum lets out a laugh before speaking.

"Well what can you say? They both love attention." He states with a shrug while his face twist into an unamused look. I let out a small laugh.
Calum's right. They both love attention and I guess that's what they're getting. Truthfully I can't be angry at anyone but myself. I'm the one who didn't let Luke explain himself, but also I feel like I have the right to be upset because I know what I saw in the mall. I don't know why I'm feeling this way towards Luke, but I'm pretty sure I have feelings for Luke and seeing him with Maddie for this period of time makes me feel this burning rage inside of me. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm jealous of Maddie. I really hate to admit that, but it's true.
I let out a sigh as I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn to Riley as she gave me a small sad smile. I return the small smile before Riley spoke.

"That's kind of a bummer. I'm sorry." She tells me while letting out a small sigh. I shake my head before replying.

"No it's alright. It's nothing, but I'm going to go find Ryan." I say, my voice sounding soft and frail. She nods her head in an understanding way and watches as I get up from the chair. As I stand from the seat, Luke and Maddie was now standing at this table talking with the boys. Luke not noticing me once. I let out another sigh as I walk away from the table and in the direction that Ryan said he was going to be sitting. Soon enough I saw Ryan sitting at a table in the middle of the rest of the tables. I continue to make my way over to Ryan, making it over to him in a mere one to two minutes.

"Well look who's back." He says while his friends wave at me as well. I smile and wave back as I sit down in the empty seat beside Ryan. Coincidentally I had a perfect view of the table I just left, where Luke and Maddie are now sitting. I let out a small sigh as I feel a hand rest on my knee. I look over at Ryan, who was gazing in my direction with a small smile on his face.

"Even though we just got here, I feel like I'm already going to have a good time with you." He tells me as he removes his hand from my knee and grab my free hand closest to him. I force a smile over to him. I'm trying so hard not to be rude to Ryan, but I know his intentions for the night. Him being this nice to me is just a red light because he wants to get laid tonight and then tell his friends that he did.
I shake my head at myself before turning back to Ryan and then replying to him.

"I feel like it will be a fun night with you as well." I tell him while putting another forced smile on my face. He smiles again before leaning over and placing a soft kiss on my cheek. I feel a blush rise onto my cheeks before turning away and facing forward again. I look up from the table and instantly make eye contact with Luke who was already staring in my general direction. He had a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but mostly they held hurt in his eyes. I might be across the room but I can still see his eyes. His eyes were so unique, I could pick them out from anywhere. There are plenty of blue eyes in the world, but his eyes are probably my favorite because they hold so much. They hold things that I want to know about Luke.
I advert my eyes from Luke's and unfortunately my eyes land in Maddie's scolding brown ones. She sends me a sharp eye roll and scowl before turning to Luke to speak with him. I roll my eyes as well before looking down at the table I was currently sitting at.
As I sat quietly at the table with Ryan and his friends, who were talking away I couldn't help but think about what Luke said almost three weeks ago now. When we were in the room talking. My thoughts were clouded by alcohol and my emotions everywhere. I'm pretty sure if I didn't drink that night I wouldn't be in this situation right now. I would probably be home watching Netflix and eating, but no. I'm here at my senior homecoming dance with someone I don't want to be here with. I'm positively sure I would be having a better time if I came with Luke.
Being brought back from my thoughts, I turn my head to the small stage that was made and saw that the president of the homecoming committee was about to speak. She was tapping on the microphone trying to obtains everyone's attention. Once she grabs everyone's focus she begins to speak after being greeted by a round of applause first.
