Ch. 18

| Noreen's pov |

I want to believe Luke that he didn't mean the things he said but it's hard. I know he has feelings for me but I don't know if I ever see that turning into love. And love is what I long for, but I won't throw myself at anyone for it. But why do I want it from him if I don't really see it coming.

I walk into my English class and as I sit down I see Tracy glaring at me. We haven't talked in weeks, she probably hates me now, but I can care less. I see her gesture to Chloe, and then Chloe comes and sits next to me. I never really liked her and now that she's friends with Tracy I dislike her even more.

"It's all fake," Chloe says to me.

She doesn't even bother to look at me.

"Just leave me alone please," I sigh.

Chloe snickers and faces me. She looks me carefully up and down making me feel uncomfortable.

"Luke doesn't care for you, that is why you don't know half of the stuff he does..."

"He will tell me," I say.

"He will? Do you realise that he will only break your heart?"

I shake my head; she's doing this on purpose. None of it is true. Luke can't hurt me more than he already has. He tells me it's real and I'm trying to believe that. She's only saying that because of Tracy.

"One day he'll love me and I'll feel the same," I softly say.

"Love Luke? Noreen you're making a fool of yourself, you're ruining your life being with him."

I clench my fist and my breathing becomes heavy. I'm sick of everyone saying that, why can't they let me and Luke be.

"Just shut up," I say gritting my teeth.

"You just can't accept the fact that he is no good and will never love you. I know Noreen, all you ever wanted was love then you meet Luke and think he will give you what you need. But he won't and he never will!"

That's my breaking point. I jump on Chloe making her fall out of her seat and start punching her. She kicks and screams but I don't stop. I tug at her hair, slap her, and I'm just so angry I don't know how to stop. Someone pulls me off her and I burst into tears.

"Don't you ever talk about Luke. Stay away from him," I sob.

Chloe gets up with a bloody nose and bruised up lip and someone leads me outside the classroom. I squirm then I realise that person is Ryan.

"Noreen calm down, no one is trying to tear you and Luke apart," he says calmly.

"Yes, everyone is," I reply.

I start to shake with tears still streaming down my face and Ryan rubs my shoulder.

"You guys are pretty much the same when someone talks about your relationship,"

I don't say anything back and I do realise that. I get angry when someone talks about Luke, and Luke gets angry when someone talks about me.

"I know what you said about me, everyone knows," I say.

"I'm sorry, but now I know I will never ever have a chance with you. I just need you to breathe and calm down,"

I breathe in and out and look Ryan in the eyes.

"Even though Luke beat me up, I just hope you're okay,"

Then he goes back into the classroom. I'm stopped by the teacher as I try to come inside and he takes me to the principal's office. I hear him say things like "what's wrong with you?" And "why would you do that?" But I don't listen and all I know is the next second I'm sitting in front of the principal.
