Bad Girl's Promise (5SOS fanfic)

Chapter 8

"Yeah I know." I smile at him. He just smiles back.

I scoot a little closer to him and he leans down a little. (I never realized that i was that small.) My heart was pounding. I was nervous. I'm never nervous.

"You know, I'm nervous right now." I whisper. "I'm never nervous."

"Except around me." he whispers back. I nod.

I move closer so that our legs are touching, if I get any closer I'll be right up against him. He puts one hand on the side of my face and the other on my shoulder. I put my hands on the back of his neck and pull him closer. Our faces are inches apart now, until he leans in and presses his lips to mine for the second time, closing the distance. This time I kiss back. And I actually want to kiss back.

Both his hands cup my face, tilting my head for better entrance. I pull him closer if that was even possible.

He pulls away for a few seconds to catch his breath, then attaches his lips to mine again. "Skylar." he breathes.

"Mi-"

"What the fuck!?" We break apart, no practically jump apart from each other to see who the voice belongs to, but I already know.

"Luke-"

"-No save it." he says back to me. He looks at Michael. "You said you would stay away for a few days."

"Well I lied."

"You said-"

"-I know what said Luke." he snaps back.

"Someone please tell me what the fuck is going on here! And Luke I didn't think you would be this surprised. We're not dating, and I thought it would be you and Alexis since you were checking her out yesterday." I snap, standing up and walking away.

"Skylar!" Michael calls.

I stop and look back at him. He's looking at Luke. "What Michael?"

"Tell her yourself Luke. Or I'll do it."

Luke sighs but turns around to face me.

"After I dropped you off at home after I went to Michael's and made him promise that he'll stays way from you for a few days."

"Why the hell would you that?" I was angry.

"Because I liked you and I wanted you to like me. Not him."

"Liked? Past tense?" I was hurt now. I look at Michael and he's grinning. Like he wanted this to happen. Sneaky little bitch. But then again i do the same thing.

"No. Sorta but no."

"'Sorta' past tense, Lucas?" I walk closer to him. "You know, I did like you. Quite a lot actually. And did you catch the past tense I used? No 'sorta' past tense there." I take one last look at Michael who is still smiling then back at Luke, who looks shocked. Then walk away back into the school just as the bell rings.

I felt so superior. But so hurt at the same time.

I walked into class, Michael and Luke aren't here yet, and go sit beside Ruby. But regretted it right away. That thing between her and Ash.

"Hi. You look tense." she says as I sit down.

"What? No I'm not... tense. I'm just... cold." I lie.

"Okay."

"Hey, wheres the teacher?" I ask noticing that Mrs. I-forgot-her-name wasn't in class.
