player - LUKE BROOKS

8. Not under his watch. 8. Not under his watch.

I dreaded going into school the next day, but my parents wouldn't let me off. It might sound stupid, but Julian, Luke and me in English together? It's going to be fun. They were both in my English, and we just happened to have that today. I can't avoid Luke forever, even though I wish I could.

I opened the door to my English lesson, as it was my first lesson. I take my seat, glancing around. Julian was already here, Luke not yet. A few students were scattered around. I sent a small smile to Julian, as he returned it. The door opened, I turned my head to the door, the person I was most dreading, of course it just had to be. Luke. His eyes locked with mine, as I didn't move mine, I kept them on his. I wasn't going to show him I was the weaker one. He finally looked away, taking his seat, beside me. Oh, I left that part out, he sits next to me. The joys.

"What was yesterday all about?" He hisses, avoiding my gaze. "I can go out with who I want." I say back, rolling my eyes. "Not under my watch." He responds, turning away. I can't believe him. I seriously can't. "You don't control me." I respond, harshly. I faced away, sighing, rather loudly. I hear him mumble an "im sorry." But I chose to ignore it, I don't want his apologies.

"And, how did you know I was with him?" I ask, giving him my attention. "Julian posted about it." He responds. I sigh in relief, he isn't a crazy stalker like I thought. I nod, glancing at the board, not understanding what the teacher was rambling on about.

"I'm sorry." He says again, this time a fraction louder and more audible. "Let me take you out tonight?" He says, looking at me. I scoff. "Are you serious?" I say, narrowing my eyes at the boy. "Mmh." He nodded, his face flushing with a light shade of pink. Blushing? Wow he is serious about this.

"Um, I don't think that'll be the best idea.." I say, trying to get out of the situation. I didn't want to go with him. Well I did, who wouldn't? But he's a jerk and I can't lead him to think I like him.

"No thank you." I finally say, licking my dry lips and glancing at him. His lips formed an 'o' and he looked down. "Alright, cool." He said, nodding and giving me a faint smile. Now I feel bad. Should I go or not?
