Chapter 3:

As I walk to Chemistry, I can't help but keep thinking about the sight I found this morning. I was so traumatized. I was frozen on the scene and Calum had to carry me out, literally. He made me go back to my senses, hugging me as I cry.

I don't even know why I cried. But I did. Our neighbour, who I had only conversed with through nods on 8 o'clock in the morning walks, was now dead.

"Miss Sinclair?" I hear my professor's voice say as my head snaps up. I didn't even notice that the class has started, that I was even seated. "are you in my class?"

"Umm," I stutter and look around at the people staring at me "yes?"

"Okay, sit next to Mr. Hemmings please," she nods to the side and my eyes widen when I see Luke, looking at me expectantly.

"I'm sorry, er, why?" I ask and everyone in the class laughs as my professor shakes her head.

"Turns out you aren't completely in my class, Ms. Sinclair." She says "we are assigning partners for the rest of the year, if you aren't aware. And yours is Mr. Hemmings. Now please, move. I have more than one inattentive student to work with"

"Yes ma'am" I say and take my bag, sitting next to Luke. He doesn't look at me, instead he doodles on his chemistry book, random circles that don't make sense at all.

"Okay," the professor says after a while, putting down her clipboard "today we shall be learning about senses on a more professional level. Not just 'nose is for smelling and 'ear is for hearing' we will be descending upon the parts of such senses"

I doze out the rest of the babbles of the professor but then I felt Luke nudging me.

"Wha- what?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes, playing with his lip piercing.

"Pass the perfume, please" he said and I pass the perfume on the test tube. The pink liquid sloshes inside and I see Luke putting a finger on the mouth of the test tube, letting the pink liquid touch the pad of his finger before returning it to its stand. He turns to me and raises and eyebrow.

"What?" I ask him.

He sighs and rolls his eyes. He scoots towards me and is face to face with me. My eyes widen. Holy shit. He leans in, we were face to face. Holy fuck is he going to kiss me? I close my eyes and I feel his breath, as if he was laughing at me. I felt the pad of his finger making contact with my neck and I open my eyes.

He was smirking at me, cockily.

Motherfucker.

"What, you think I was going to kiss you?" he says then he laughs as I roll my eyes.

"What are we even doing?" I ask him.

"Your mind must be miles away," he flicks my forehead as I scowl at him "we're at the sense of smell silly. Partner A, that's you, gets to put on the perfume on the test tubes and Partner B, that's me, gets to describe what the perfume smells like on Partner A, and write it on the work sheet. Sound good enough for you, Sinclair?"

"Yes, Hemmings" I spat and incline my neck "let's just get this over with"

I didn't know if it was the light, but I swear I saw his eyes turn silver.

He leans in, stiffly. His cocky aura seemed long gone, he takes a sniff, one, two, and then he retracts. His eyes change colour, but then return back to their natural blue hue, but then his eyes turn to something in between, as if he was struggling amongst himself.

"Sweet," he chokes out, writing it on the worksheet "i- it smells sweet"

"Luke are you okay?" I ask him, hand on his shoulder which he shrugs off stiffly.

"I'm fine!" he spat, glaring at me.

So much for cocky Luke.

I return back to my own worksheet, answering questions.

Why the sudden change of attitude? Is there-

I take a clump of my hair and put it to my nose. I don't smell bad, then why is he so damn stiff about it?

I turn back to him to see him tightly gripping his pen, I can see the veins in his hands as if it were about to pop.

"Lu-" the bell rings and Luke dashes out of the room, stiffly, with his stuff.

^*^

Lunch came round, no sign of Luke whatsoever. You see, Joannah and I were just eating and minding our own business till Calum came to our table, asking if he could eat with us. I asked him, where was Luke and he said he went home sick. Which was pretty weird, even for me since he seemed pretty good this morning.

Joannah and Calum were chatting amongst themselves as my mind was miles away with so many questions. My stupid dream consisting of Calum talking to a demonic voice. Plus, why was Luke acting so weird all of a sudden?

My eyes finally met a waking figure, he was too fast but I managed to see his bright red snapback and so I sat up, not even excusing myself from Joannah and Calum and make a beeline towards a fast walking Luke.

"Luke," I try to say, barely catching up. what with his long legs, "Luke please, stop!"

He doesn't reply but his fast walk soon turns into a jog and I have to run to keep up.

"Luke whatever it is I'm sorry okay?! But please, stop!" his attitude really confuses me. He skids to a halt and I stop as well and he turns to me.

"Just, please! Stay away from me Angel. I'm no good. Please, STAY AWAY. It's for you as well"

And so he sprints out the parking, and this time I let him.
