Chapter 3.

I woke up the next morning as stiff as a board. I yawned and rubbed my eyes as I made my way to the bathroom to look at least, a little, presentable to society.

After brushing my teeth and looking somewhat acceptable, I went to the kitchen. The first thing that caught my eye was a neon post-it note on the kitchen island.

"Had fun last night, hope to see you again soon. Calum x"

I blushed a little before I went to get some breakfast. Since I can't cook for shit, I just went for some fruit loops because, why the hell not?

I had about an hour before school started so I quickly got dressed into something simple. I wore natural makeup, nothing unusual, and tied my hair into a simple French braid.

I reached school and to my surprise, nothing had gone wrong yet.

Yet.

I walked to my locker, which was convenient next to a guy who always tried hitting on me, and took out my Biology book.

"Hey hey hey, Scarlet"

"Fuck off before I rip your balls out Ethan."

"Feisty. Nice. So hey- there's this party this weekend and I was wondering if-" and then the bell rings.

Saved by the bell.

"Bye Ethan."

"Wait Scarl-"

Before he can continue his sentence, by Best Friend Cy, grabs me by the arm.

"Oww, Jesus. Watch it, will ya?"

"Oops. Sorry not sorry. So there's this party this weekend-"

"Yeah I know."

"Really? Well, okay. You wanna go?"

"Hmm.. sure?"

"Okayy! I'll meet you at your house on Friday!" She squeals.

I laugh and shake my head as I walk away to room 101.

"Biology ; Mrs.Hemmings" says the sign.

I sigh and shake my head as I walk through the same old boring doors.

"Morning Mrs. Alpheus."

"Good morning to you too, Mrs. Hemmings"

She gives me a warm smile and I can't help but to feel a little bit better after that. Her smiles always brighten up the mood. The way her blueish-greyish eyes have crinkles around them.

I wonder why she's always genuinely happy.

Maybe cuz she doesn't have to go to High School Aka Living hell Everyday.

I'm broken away from my thoughts as the bell rings again, indicating the start of the lesson.

"Alrighty class, we'll be learning about Anatomy..." and she rambled on.

The day passes by fairly quickly and before I know it, the last bell rings throughout the school, notifying the students that yet, another day of torture is over. Cheers erupt from the halls and our Maths teacher is trying to get the class to listen to her about our homework, which half of our class, didn't bother listening to.

I feel an arm snake around my waste and I turn around, only to come face to face with Ethan.

Ohh boy.

"Ethan let go of me." I say sternly, which only makes his smirk grow wiser in amusement.

"Do you know that you're hot when you're pissed?"

"Ethan please. Go away and leave me alone."

"I was only a-" He's cut off by a pair of strong arms grabbing and pulling me back.

I hit, what I think is a chest, and look up to see a pair of ocean blue eyes looking down at me.

His gaze goes back to Ethan.

"Why don't you do her a favour and fuck off?" He says, almost growling.

Ethan's face is now white as if he's seen a ghost. He scrambles away in fear and doesn't dare look back.

I feel Luke's grip loosen on me when I know Ethan's about a mile away. I turn around and look a little upwards as he's practically a giant compared to my 5'4 size.

"Uhh- thanks?" I say nervously.

He smirks and says "Don't mention it"

He then walks away, leaving me stranded on the school parking lot. I shake my head as I continue taking the long way home.

I reach home and leave my keys and phone at the counter as I go to my room to do my homework.

I can't help but think about what happened in the parking lot, and how Luke just magically appeared.
