Chapter 7

Nothing made sense as I replayed it in my head. The facts where there, but the pieces just didn't fit together. When I saw Luke at the hospital, he wasn't the same person, he wasn't the friendly Luke who cracked jokes here and there. He was a careless jerk. Even though he didn't feel the same way as I did, he didn't have to be rude about it and lead me on. He kissed me once, which hinted me so I felt more comfortable telling him how I felt. I then told him and he was a total jerk and almost kissed me once more, even though he clearly didn't feel the same way.

I woke up with the help of the sunlight and started shifting and stretching in my comfortable bed. I really didn't feel like going to school. But mostly, I just really didn't want to face Luke. I was really unsure how he would react if I would ignore him or if I would confront him. I don't why, but I put on my newest outfit, to show Luke what he was missing out on. I went with my white v-neck tee, black leggings and my navy blue converse.

Arrived at school, I was feeling confident to confront Luke, but I knew that when I would see him, I would either turn away and back off, or just freeze and not know what to say. I could say that I wasn't so confident after all.

Leslie and I made small talk while walking to chemistry. Meanwhile, I was hoping not to see Luke. I knew that it was inevitable, since we were lab partners, but I guess I was kind of waiting for a miracle. I walked into class not seeing Luke, which I was grateful for. A few moments later, Mr. Morey walked in, explaining the new experiment we were going to do today. Once the class had officially started, Luke was still nowhere to be seen. I started to think he was avoiding me, but contrarily to my thoughts, he walked in late a few minutes later. I felt my blood start to boil at the sight of him. He walked towards me to finally take a seat right beside me.

"Hey" He said. This was going to be so awkward. Yay for me. I decided to tell him what I really thought and not let him get to me anymore.

"Look. If you are going to act all nice guy, which you obviously aren't, I suggest you get your ass of this chair and go find a new partner. I won't put up with your shit, and if you think I'm going to act like nothing happened the other night, you are completely wrong."

"Look, I didn't mean to hurt you yesterday Rose. I'm sorry I was a little harsh but I didn't want to lie to you. I had to tell you the truth. Would you've rather me lie to you and pretend it was all okay?" I felt my face turn red like if I was about to explode. It wasn't only sadness and betrayal but it was rage and terrible anger.

"Don't you dare bring that truth shit to me! You know what you said hurt me! And you told to me to get out after that! You didn't explain anything which left me fucking clueless! You expect me to buy you truth shit? You could've called or texted or anything Luke! I was worried about you and then you just blew me off? And you know what the worst part is? You led me on. You kissed me even though you knew all along you were going to blow me off like I was a piece of trash. So go to hell Luke." I started raising my voice more and more, but I didn't care. Luke had to hear what I had to say and I wasn't going to let a few people staring at me ruin that.

"Is everything okay miss Carter?" I turned around to see the teacher and a few other students glaring at me. I slowly nodded to the teacher and turned back around to Luke. I got up, walking towards the center table to get a blue substance to mix with a red one that was already at the table. Once I sat back down, Luke started laughing. I was really confused since I had just literally just bitched on him and now he was laughing? Before the realization struck me he opened his mouth once again humiliating me in front of everyone around us who could hear.

"The red substance is supposed to stay in the beaker honey." He said smirking and a couple people started laughing around us. I looked down and I saw the chair was stained with red and so were my pants. I don't understand. I'm not regular but I should of felt it. Maybe I was too concentrated on Luke I didn't realize I was on my fricking period! Fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit. I ran out of class to the bathroom to clean up a little. I then went home, changed and tried to forget about my little incident. I went back to school for 2nd period since I had English literature, and it was a important class.

As I walked in, I got a few dirty looks and people laughing at me. I guess I was now the joke of the school. I headed to the cafeteria to get a muffin and I could feel many eyes on me and I was not particularly enjoying it.

"Hey! I heard we have to disinfect our chairs before sitting on them now!" Someone said laughing with their friend. I was trying not to let it get to me, but when the hole school laughs at you, it's hard not to. Now, Emily was still pissed at me, the hole population thinks I'm the joke of the school and then there's Leslie.

So I ate with Leslie and Emily, since we usually eat together but I can't say we exchanged a lot of conversation. It was more of a "how was your last class" kind of conversation. I really have to talk to Emily tonight. It can't continue like this and I really need my best friend. Especially at a time like this. 

I got home after school, changed into comfortable clothes and started my homework since Emily hadn't arrived yet. After an hour of scribbling on my notebook trying to understand the work I heard the door open and slam shut. That was my cue to go downstairs and talk to Emily.

"Hey" I said with an apologetic smile. She turned away and ignore me. She clearly didn't want to talk to me.

"Look Emily I..." I said before she cut me off.

"I don't want to talk Rose, I have nothing to say."

"You don't need to talk, just listen." She nodded approving right after rolling her eyes at me which I found slightly disrespectful.

"Emily, I'm really sorry, I didn't realize I was spending so much time with him. You are my best friend Em and you always will be. I'm sorry if lately I've been distant, I really don't do it on purpose. I really like Luke and I was hoping you would be happy for me. Things arn't really going well right now and I really need my best friend Em, I really need you. I'm sorry." I started sniffling a little and Emily wasn't budging. I was scared she didn't even listen to me and would just walk away. Se didn't though, the wiped a tear that I hadn't noticed escape her eye and walked towards me opening her arm giving me a hug. I can definitely say that I had missed those.

I explained the "Luke" situation to Emily who called him a jerk, dick, ass and a couple other names a few times. She agreed with me to wait to talk to him and calm myself before because he made it worse today by almost yelling that I had leaked on the chair. He's such an ass, it must take an effort to be like that all the time.

Right before heading to our rooms to go to bed, we heard the front door creek open.

"Well hello there Rose." I could hear the contempt in his voice. I couldn't detect his face yet, but I was pretty sure of who it was and when I got to the door, my thoughts were confirmed.

Luke.
