He's The Hottest Guy In School And I'm The New Girl

Heather's pov.

I got home tired and late. All I want us to go to bed.

But no such luck.

As I got out of my car I saw a girl walking across the street towards me.

I thought maybe she needed help or wants to introduce herself.

But as she got closer I recognized her red hair and slight form. It's Luke's girlfriend.

She came right up to me and smiled. But it wasn't a warm or friendly smile in anyway. Her smile reminded me of a shark.

She flipped her red hair over her shoulder.

"So I heard about your little episode with Luke."

I breathed in deep and turned to face her.

"It must have been a one time thing, because obviously he still has you." I said trying to hold back anger and tears.

She snickered "Exactly, he has me. So you'd better keep your little whore hands off him. He doesn't want to be an asshole and say leave him alone but I will. Stay away from him."

I felt a tear slip past my defenses and fall onto my collarbone.

"He doesn't want you and he never will." She continued.

She stepped a bit closer "Do you understand?"

I nodded.

She smiled again and giggled. "That's good, wouldn't want to have to tell you twice." Then she spun on her heel and walked away. Leaving me broken into pieces on my own driveway.

********************

Luke's pov.

I really want to see Heather right now but I'm nervous. What if she doesn't want to see me.

She must know that I care about her, I mean it's obvious that I do but she seemed upset at the hospital.

I'm worried about her wrist too. The doctor said a few weeks of taking it easy and she will be fine but I'm still worried.

And when I even think about Ryan my blood starts to boil.

All in all I've just had a really shitty week.

I just want to talk to someone. And I miss Heather.

I gather my courage and decide to drop by her house. If she asks why then I'm only there to check up on her recovery.

I knock on her door several minutes later and she opens it.

I can immediately see that she's been crying but I decide not to ask about it just yet.

"Hi." She says timidly. She looks sad and tired but not angry. She actually seems a bit scared the way she keeps glancing behind me, like she's watching for someone across the street.

"Hey can I come in?" I ask.

She forces a smile and opens the door wider "Sure." She says but she glances across the street once more before closing the door behind me.

"Are you watching for someone?" I ask.

She shakes her head quickly and nervously. She's bad at hiding things.

"I just wanted to come see how your doing." I say and gesture to her wrist.

"I'm fine." She says.

"Are you positive?" I say, stepping closer. She's so small and beautiful. She smells like apples and vanilla, her big eyes stare into mine.

"Yes." She steps back. I'm a little hurt, maybe she is upset with me, what did I do? I wanted to tell her about how I felt before but Kathrine was in the way then. Now...now I can finally tell her how I feel.

"Heather, back at the hospital-,"
"It's okay," she cuts me off. " I understand, you have a girlfriend and you don't want her to find out that you made a mistake. Well I'm not going to tell anyone about what happened. So you're off the hook."

"Heather, I broke up with Kathrine."

She spun quickly to look at me. "What? Why?"

"Well there's a lot of reasons. For one, I caught her cheating on me, two, she's a selfish bitch, three, I want to be with someone else."

"Who?" She asks, breathless.

I take her hand tenderly "You."

A tear falls from her face. Does she not want this? I drop her hand.

She sniffles "Kathrine came to talk to me earlier. She said she's still with you and I had better stay away. Luke, I'm scared. What if she tries to hurt me?"

"Kathrine thinks she's in charge of everybody. But she's not. She doesn't control me and she doesn't control you. And I'm not letting anyone hurt you, understand?" She nods and wipes a few more tears away.

Then she throws her arms around me. I'm surprised at first but then I hug her back.

She looks up at me again with those beautiful eyes and I kiss her softly.

She smiles against my mouth and hooks her fingers in my belt loops. I turn to sit in the couch but trip over something.

We go sprawling onto the couch together.

She giggles and I smile. "Luke I never knew how graceful you were."

"Shut up" I throw a pillow at her.

Suddenly I shiver, I'm freaking cold. "Goodness Heather it's the freaking Arctic in here." I stand up to turn off the AC.

I catch a wiff of something the smells awful. I smell myself and I realize I haven't showered in a few days. Gross.

Heather is still laying on the couch when I get back. "I need to take a shower, can I use one of your bathrooms?"

She nods and points down the hall.

I take off my clothes and step into streams of hot water. It feels so good.

When I get out I really don't want to put my dirty clothes back on so I wrap myself in a towel. Maybe Heather has some clothes I can borrow.

She's in her room when I find her. She hears me come in but doesn't turn around, she's on her computer.

"I need some clean clothes, you have some I can borrow?"

She turns. Her eyes open wide when she sees I'm in a towel. She looks me up and down and stutters a response. "Yeah I-I have a pair of my dad's basketball shorts that he left when he came to visit last."

"Great, can I borrow them?"

She stands up and goes a few rooms down. She throws me a pair of red shorts.

I'm about to drop my towel when I realize she's still watching me.

"Um Heather?"

She blinks and stops staring. "Sorry." She speed walks out of the room and I change.

When I come out her phone is ringing in the kitchen.

I go to pick it up but I'm too late and it goes to voice mail, I hear a man's voice.

"Hey Heather, it's Leo, just calling to check up on you and ask if maybe you want to come with me and some friends to the beach this weekend. Anyways, I guess your busy, talk to you later bye."

Who is this Leo. And is this the first time he's asked her out. Whoever he is, Heather is mine.
