Basically ≫ c.h.

chapter three.

I want to never go back to one of those parties. It sucked. I bet Luke was only friendly to me before so I could just be one of the many girls he's with. Calum seemed to actually be nice, but it probably was something Luke made him do with every girl.

Michael and I made it home and it was around noon when we finally woke up. We shared a room since we were basically living off of the last paycheck of Michael's part time job that he got fired from a few days ago. Michael's parents send him money sometimes, but they think his life is messed up because I'm 'trouble'.

"Wake up, idiot." I threw a pillow at his head. He shot up, but laid back down. It was Saturday and It felt like a Monday.

"I need coffee... and donuts." he smirked.

"No way. We're not going back there. I'll only go back when Ashton's fired." I protested. He pouted and sat up on the bed.

"Please? I'll call Luke to come." he wiggled his eyebrows and smiled.

"No. I don't want to see Luke." I got up off the bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"Why? What the hell did he do to you last night?" He looked concerned, as if he tried to kill me or something. I ignored him and waited until I finished brushing my teeth.

"Sam! Answer me!" He threw a pillow at my leg and I scowled at him. He smiled and laid back down. "I still want coffee."

I finished brushing my teeth and was starting to do my daily routine which included too much eyeliner and picking out a strange outfit mostly with a band logo on the shirt.

"All he did was get me high." I shrugged and bit my lip from saying any more. I didn't want to tell him how I felt about Luke, it was weird.

"There's something else. Tell me." he frowned. I ignored him again and continued with the glob of eyeliner.

"Samantha.. tell me right now. Do you like him? Like... like like him?" He smirked and started getting ready for another day in hell.

"I don't, well, I think I don't like him." I stopped and faced him. I only had one eye done, and he was laughing at me. "Okay, um."

"I just feel that I was just one of Luke's girls that he charmed and brought to a stupid party and I don't know. When Calum told me that he slept with a lot of girls I started to get worried and I didn't want to be one of those girls and I didn't want to be hurt." I took a deep breath after saying that.

"Wow, you've never said anything that girly since we were at the flower ship and you practically fan girled over the cactus section." He laughed. Hey, I like plants. "You're just paranoid. Luke didn't seem to want to get in your pants." He smirked.

"Hey, watch it. Anyway, I guess we could go see him again or whatever. What about Calum and Brenda?" I asked. Hey, why not? I can try and make friends. Until they see me freak out, they'd be gone. I would like to have some fun while it lasts.

"Okay, I'll call them over to the coffee shop and tell them to meet us there in half an hour." he answered. I rolled my eyes and finished my makeup.

The walk to the coffee shop was difficult because I had another freak attack because I saw this man in the window of a costume shop wearing a mask just like the one the man wore. It was no big deal because Calum, Luke, and Brenda didn't see it.

"I think they aren't coming." I mumbled as we waited outside of the entrance. I had a feeling that they would do that.

"They'll be here, don't worry." he gently slapped my back and smiled. I saw this nice black car rush by, but it stopped quickly and backed up, like the person had passed the place it wanted to go to.
