Star-Crossed Lovers

Chapter 18: Repairing the relationships

I spent the entire weekend thinking about what Gwen said. I could not believe how sly and cunning she was. The bitch! I always thought Gwen was a good friend but turns out I was wrong. Maybe I was the wrong one? Maybe I should have told her that I have developed slight feelings for Hunter? All I know is that we both messed up. I just hope that Lucas doesn't choose her over me though otherwise I am utterly friendless. Maths period was dragging on and when the bell rang I couldn't get faster out of there. Lucas had been ignoring my texts whole weekend and I urgently needed to sort things about between the two of us. I wanted him to know how bad I felt and I need him in my life. He has been my rock, my everything during this hard time and made me feel welcome. I dodged the students in the hallway and I speedily walked to find Lucas. He wasn't at his locker when the bell rang for the next period so I guessed his next class. Since I had a free period, I searched for him in the entire school since I knew that he had a free period to. I searched the library, the bleachers, the gym, the field and I was out of breathe from running around looking for him. I leaned against the wall to get my breathing back on course and my eyes spotted the IT center. Of course! I clicked. I entered the room and there were a group of geeky boys behind computers with headphones on and controllers in their hands. I was the only girl and not one of the boys looked up. Their eyes were glued to the screens which was fascinating. I scanned across the lot of them till I saw Lucas in the second row. He looked completely cute as his lips were scrunched together and he seemed completely focused. I headed over to him and tapped him on he shoulder. My nerves had taken over me and I feared for his reply. Lucas glanced at me and shook his head.

"Can I please speak to you?" I begged and gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"You can." He said and I smiled. "The question is may you." He added and turned around.

My smile faded into a frown as I tapped his shoulder again. Lucas turned around and I asked again. "Lucas, may I please speak to you?" I couldn't help as the sarcasm poured along the words.

"Ask again and drop the sarcasm."

"Fuck you!" I exclaimed and pulled him  by his shirt and he protested against it. I exited the door and let Lucas go once we were outside.

"Ouch." He squinted his eyes at me and straightened himself up.

"I'm sorry Lucas." I blurted out. "I was a bitch to Gwen and I had no right fighting with her in your car. I'm really sorry. Please don't cut me off because you're my best friend."

"I'm your only friend."

"Yeah.. my only beat friend." I playfully pouted at him .

Lucas stood looking at me for a few seconds before finally giving in to a smile. "Emma I am not mad at you. I just... I just don't like the fact that you lie."

"W-what do you mean?" My pulse quickened as my mind jumped to only one conclusion.

"You act as if you don't like Hunter but you do. You shouldn't lie about it or try to hide it, because you knew that Gwen liked him as well. You just gotta be straight up with me because I hate liars, okay?"

I let out a huge sigh of relief and broke out in a cheerful smile. "Okay I won't lie to you again."

Lucas grinned and pulled me in for a hug. I felt the heavy weight lift off my shoulders and things felt good again...as good as they could be. Even though it was not about Lance or my previous life or anything I still felt bad. There will come times when I will have to lie to Lucas, even though I wouldn't want to. Lucas hates lies and my life is a lie...how ironic.
