LILIAN'S POV

-

-

All three of us are staring at Lucas, in awe.

"What did you say?" Asher asks, with a smile.

"You're beautiful." Lucas repeats.

The Lesson is dismissed and I walk out of the room. Nothing exciting happened in third or fourth Lesson, just me not listening to anything the teachers have to say and replaying Lucas's words in my head. Am I beautiful?

Lunch is interesting.

When I walk into the cafeteria, a lot of the classes have already gotten there. I sit in between Lucas and Asher, like I have everyday. And just like always Caleb, Mitchell, and Christina sit with us as well, but today a new girl sits with us. She sits next to Caleb.

"This is Sarah, my girlfriend." Caleb says.

"Hi." Sarah says. There's dead silence. Word must have travelled fast about what Lucas said because no one says a word, Asher keeps giggling under his breath though.

"So........" Asher says, finally.

"What's going on?" Christina asks. Caleb whispers into her ear.

"Ooh." Christina says. "Well then." She glances at me, then at Lucas with a smile on her face.

"Hey Christina you want to go on a date sometime?" Asher asks, speaking really fast.

"What?" Christina says.

"What?" Asher replies, almost like he's trying to cover up what he just said.

"Well bombshells are dropping everywhere, aren't they?" Caleb says.

"Seems like it." Mitchell says.

"But yeah, sure." Christina says.

"Cool." Asher says with a smile on his face.

"What?" Mitchell says.

"What?" Asher says, in the same tone he said it in before. I giggle a little bit. Lucas keeps staring at me.

Lunch is dismissed and we all walk to our 5th Lesson class and it just so happens that Lucas is in that class. I'm walking to the classroom when someone pulls me aside. It's Lucas.

"Hey." He says.

"Hi, we really should get to our fifth Lesson class." I say.

"That can wait." He says.

"Okay." I say.

"You're beautiful." He says. "No matter how many times you've been called 'worthless' or 'ugly', it doesn't matter because you're beautiful. I see the scars on your arms and it blows my mind why a gorgeous girl like you would do that to herself. I just wanted to let you know that you can tell me anything and I'll always be here for you, I promise. And you don't need to hurt yourself anymore." He takes my wrists and looks at my scars, there's tears in his eyes and I can feel my eyes getting glossy. We both stare at each other for a while and then I finally say,

"No one has ever said anything like that to me before. That was beautiful and it meant the world to me. You have no idea how long it's been since someone has actually talked to me, let alone complimented me and said really nice things about me."

He smiles.

"Thank you, Lucas." I say as he takes his giant hands and wipes away the tears off of my face.

"Don't cry, Beautiful." He says as he blinks his tears away and we both walk to our fifth lesson class.
