Cora's pov
I wandered into school late.
It's was near the end of fifth hour, one period after lunch when I finally arrived.
You see, I had been avoiding any possible contact with the boys since I learned what Luke and Michael had originally thought of me.
I ignored all their calls, texts, and voicemails.
I was fucking tired of feeling so embarrassed around them all the time.
I mean, my old friends might have been assholes and judged me but at least I felt cool there.
Like I was the cool one.
Not the embarrassing awkward one.
Just as I reached my locker the bell rang signaling the end of fifth hour.
My eyes widened as I hurriedly tried to put in my locker com without any of the boys seeing me.
By the time I got my locker open Luke was sprinting up to me.
I quickly spun on my heel and started to walk in the other direction even though my 6th hour was the other way.
But Luke was too fast as he harshly gripped my wrist and turned me to face him.
"What the fuck Cora?" He spat.
I winced, "Luke you're hurting me."
His eyes flashed with fear before he let go of my wrist.
I rubbed it and examined the red marks his hand left.
Apparently he didn't see them as his anger returned, "Why the hell have you shut all of us out? What're you doing? And then you show up to school late and miss your classes? Care to explain?"
I turned from him harshly, "No I wouldn't like to fucking explain Luke. How about you fucking explain to me how easy you think I am?"
He sucked in a sharp breath and exhaled shakily, "W-what?"
I turned back to face him gaining more confidence, "Yeah Luke, why don't you tell me why the hell you wanted to take me out to that party in the first place? Is it because you liked me? Or is it because I was soo easy." I spat.
He flinched at every word like I was physically harming him.
And I hoped I was.
"Cora how did you-"
"Save it Luke. Don't talk to me again."
By now the halls were empty and I was late for 6th period.
I turned my back on Luke and walked to the office so I could get a slip for being tardy.
I left him there feeling embarrassed and ashamed just the way he had made me feel.
Except unlike Luke, I actually felt guilty about hurting him.
The rest of the day I didn't talk to any one.
Melody let me have my space and so did the other boys.
Every time I saw Luke he gave me a sad pathetic look and I glared harshly back at him.
On the walk home I realized how much I missed the chilly weather.
Sure it was nice to have hot weather at the beach for a while but I did miss the chilly weather here.
