Chapter twenty five – I knew it wasn't wise to fall for him

Lucas's POV

The second I was finished talking to Patrick I was gone. I walked as quickly as I could to the science block. Maybe I could catch Carl before everything started. Get this all sorted out and if need be...

Punch Carl in the friggin face!

He knew Nicole was mine, so why would he persist? Had he been ignoring me for the last month? All those times I told him how much I liked her, did he zone out? Maybe he was more self centred than I thought.

Before I could reach the room we were supposed to be at I ran into Kyle. I breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't Carl or anyone else.

'Lucas? What are you doing here?' he asked fumbling with his books.

'sorry...ah I'm here for-'

'you're actually going?!' he shrieked, eyes wide.

'he put her back in, Kyle. Carl put Nicole back in the draw...so of course I'm going'

'he put her back in?'

'yes, and apparently theirs an anonymous bid saying that he'll score with her'

'what? Wait...Carl wants Nicole?'

'don't say it' I cringe shaking my head, trying to get the image out of my head. Stupid creep, she was mine.

'sorry...who told you this information?'

'Patrick'

'Patrick Martin or Patrick Lane?'

'Patrick Lane'

'damn it'

'what?'

'I was gonna say if it was Patrick Martin then he'd be lying but...'

'I know'

'what are you going to do?'

'whatever I can. Do you know how many bids she'd have by now?'

'I know and you need to calm down. Obviously there has been a mistake'

'how? Carl knew and he still put her in. For his sake'

'then that's breaking the rules, everyone will know that and then she'll be taken out'

'do you know how hard Carl will fight to keep her in if he actually likes her?'

'look if he liked her the way I'm thinking you think so then why wouldn't he go up to her and ask her out? I mean it's that simply. It's what guys do when they like a girl, come on Lucas think!'

'I am thinking'

'he only wants to...'

'don't' I warned cringing as the thoughts of that creep with my girl.

'sorry but it's true. I mean half the guys in there don't actually like these girls, more or less they like them for what...they can do'

'you don't think I know this?'

'then why are you over reacting?'

'I'm not over reacting'

'you kind of are, just calmly walk in there and speak your mind'

'calmly? Oh you're funny' I grumbled walking past him. He turned and caught up to me quickly.

'fine...fine...I'll come with you but I have to meet Martha and if she chews me out you're dead'
