Chapter 2~

      SCHOOL! I'M GOING TO BE LATE! Were the first thoughts that came to Lucas' mind. His alarm clock was blaring. Lucas tried to get up fast but thumped down on the floor hurting his jaw. "OUCH MOTHER-fff...." He didn't curse. Getting up, slowly this time, Lucas turned off his alarm clock and got out his clothes for the day. He picked out a striped red and yellow short-sleeved-shirt with light blue shorts. He looked at his pale skin. Covered in scars. Lucas rubbed his arm and stomach. The doctor had just taken off the bandaids a couple days ago. Ness didn't approve of Lucas' cutting habit, but he couldn't help it. Ness' house was next door so Lucas looked out it to see Ness, also shoving on his blue and yellow shirt. He looked as if he was having trouble. Ness was fit, Lucas saw looking at his bare chest. Physically AND mentally. Not talking six-pack, buffed up, armor skin child, but fit. Ness was in baseball. Lucas was in art. Ness couldn't cook for crap, Lucas was the cook of the house, Ness even came over sometimes to get a taste of Lucas' food. Realizing he was staring Lucas turned away pulling on his shirt. Grabbing his sketchbook, school books, and his home-cooked lunch, Lucas dashed out the door. Crashing into his beloved. Lucas fell back falling onto the sidewalk. Ouch. "ACK! SORRY LUCAS!!" Ness said helping Lucas up. Feeling his cheeks warm up Lucas looked away coughing. "I-it's fine. Let's head to school." Ness made a tsk sound. "Paula made me promise I would walk with her to school." He frowned, "You could come along. I know you don't like her but I'll walk in the middle, okay?" He said in my head, Please? I groaned, Fine, but just because I don't want to leave my best friend hanging. Ness smiled, making me smile back. "Folloowww." He said waving me with him. I sighed and started to follow him to Paula's house.

                                                                                                ✨

Paula was curling her hair with her finger when we turned the corner to her giant house. "Nessy!" She said running over to him and leaning forward for a kiss. "Yes hello Paula." He said. Hesitating he leaned towards her and kissed her forehead. She pouted for a moment. I snickered but quickly shut my mouth when Paula looked behind Ness too see me. "Ness, that stalker is following you." She said sniffing disdainfully. Rolling his eyes Ness smiled at me. Which made me feel butterflies in my stomach. "Well yeah, cuz' I told him to." Paula just crossed her arms at this, "Well now i'm telling him not to. Get out of here Lurker, or whatever your name is." Lucas actually took a step back feeling tears threatening his eyes. Starting to turn away head down, Ness grabbed his arm. Tightly. "No, no way. Paula," He said turning towards her, she looked at Lucas glaring for a moment before putting on an innocent, 'What did I do?' Face. "You don't ever talk to Lucas like that. Got it? He's my friend, my best friend, deal with it. He's walking with us. Were already almost late, let's just GO." He said his impatience with her showing. I looked back up, but not looking back at them. "Fine." Paula said, a growl in her words. HMPH! She said pushing me out of the way harshly and continuing ahead. "Neeeess hold my haaaand!" She whined. Ness only sighed. Sorry buddy,.He said patting my back gently. No worries, let's just get to school.

It didn't take long for us to reach the school at Paula's pace. Here's Lucas' Schedule, Geo, ELA, Art, Science, Lunch ,Math, P.E. Ness' schedule was similar. He had, Geo, ELA, Chorus (this boy could sing <3), Science, Lunch, Math, and P.E. Not that it matters but Paula got her schedule changed so she was in every class Ness was in. She, sang like a dying fish. "See you in Geo Ness!" I said rushing into the school. "See ya Lucas!" He said back. What's the rush? He said to me. I need to turn in an art project. Don't worry i'll still be there so you can copy off my stuff, AHEM AHEM!! I said back to him. I do NOT copy off you! I just stare at your paper and get the right answers Mock outrage in his words...er...thoughts? Yeah right.... I said rolling my eyes mentally. See ya in class Lucas. He said to me before something cut off our connection. And it wasn't distance. Getting our connection cut off hurt, a lot, and you got a headache for like, the rest of the day. Or until you touch head with the one the connection was cut off with. I let my mind stay there for a moment accidentally running into the school bully. His name was Joe or something. I don't know. Lucas mumbled an apology, trying to get away quick, but of course that couldn't happen.
