Hot chocolates and tissues

Chapter 13- Tentions rise!

The day went by just like normal, and Rebecca and Connor hadn't seen each other since break time. It was lunch time and Rebecca walked into lunch with Hannah. She looked around for Connor, but couldn't see him.

"Boo!" Someone shook Rebecca's shoulders and she got a shock, she turned around to see Luke.

"Holy shit Luke! I crapped mysel'!"

"Haha, dork!" Luke said clipping her lightly on the head.

He stood next to get in the dinner queue, Rebecca was still looking for Connor when Dan walked in.

"Love is in the air." He grinned as he stood next to Luke.

"Shut up mate!" Luke blushes.

"What the hell Dan?" Rebecca questions.

"What the hell Dan?" Dan mocked Rebecca.

--Rebecca P.O.V--

"What the hell Dan?" I question, he's obsessed with me and Luke..

"What the hell Dan?" He mocks me in a high pitched voice. I roll my eyes, out the corner of my eyes Luke looks awkward.

"Don't listen to him Luke" I reassure him.

"I know." He says bluntly. Why is he acting weird around me?

I look around for Lilly, I need to talk to her about this! She will find out what's going on.

I look to my left and Connor appears.

"Hey, I'm just looking for a girl. She is quite pretty and has hair like mine. Seen her?" He asks me joking around.

"Hmm, no I haven't. She sounds gorgeous though!" I laugh.

"Haha, you're a big head."

"I was joking. Obviously. I don't actually think I'm gorgeous!" I say trying to stop everyone for thinking I love myself or something.

"Am I missing something?" Luke asked me and Connor, sounding a little pissed off.

"What?" I ask.

"You two, flirting." He says looking right into me.

"What!?" Connor said. He kinda sounded like he was lying though, hopefully Luke and Dan didn't sense anything.

"Okay." Luke says, then he turns and asks for a ham sandwich.

Why is he acting like this I think as I grab a salad and yoghurt. I sit down next to Lilly and opposite Holly, then Luke and Dan joined us followed by Connor who sat next to me. Dan and Lilly commenting on me eating like a rabbit before Hannah sat down to join us.

"Right I'm going." Luke quickly tells us and leaves the table, unusual.

"Wait up mate, I'm coming too!" Dan yells after him.

"Oh and you two, don't flirt right in front of him it's obvious he likes you, Rebecca." Dan says before standing up.

"What?"

"He likes you, he has done for the past 2 years! Gotta shoot!" Dan replied before running down to catch up with Luke. I feel a hand on my thigh and smile when I realise it's Connor.

"Shall we go then?" Lilly asks us all. We all agree and walk out the canteen.

--Luke's P.O.V--

"Right I'm going." I tell everyone before leaving the table. I need to get away from Rebecca and Connor being all lovey dovey.

"Wait up mate, I'm coming too!" Dan shouted after me, but I carried on walking out the canteen. I walk outside the cold air hitting me, I want to shout about everything going on in my life. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear Dan shouting my name.

"Luke!"

"Daniel?" I can't be arsed with him.

"I'm sorry."

"What for?" I ask, silly question I know he's sorry Rebecca doesn't feel the same.

"For Rebecca and Connor being all in your face. Rebecca has never realised you like her." He tells me. Never realised I like her? I've been in love with her for 2 years! I flirt, I help her, I hugged her, I've held her hand when she had problems. I've made it as obvious as I could. And now suddenly this Connor is here and it's as if none of that matters.

"Luke?" Dan says, I must have looked angry.

"Sorry, I need to be alone." I say before sprinting down the pavement, running until I can't run anymore. Making a bee line for the field. As I reach the fields I slow, and then walk. I throw myself to the ground and punch the grass. Then I cry. It's a good job I had a cold and had tissues with me otherwise I would be in a horrible situation where everyone would know I was, or had been crying.

--Rebecca's P.O.V--

It's the end of school and I find Luke at the front of school.

"Am I still coming to your house?" I ask him nervously, Dan had told me he'd been crying on the field.

"Yeah." He smiled, "why wouldn't you be?"

"Just checking!" I grin back at him. His older sister comes zooming down the road slowing and pulling up on the curb.

"C'mon then, Tracy is here." Luke tells me and I pick up my bag and walk along side him. I've met all of Luke's family before as I've been to Luke's house about 5 times before, yet, normally there is a group of us.

"Hello Rebecca" Tracy smiles at me.

"Hiya" I reply, hopping in the back next to Luke.

"Oh hello! Just your brother here!" Luke says jokingly. Tracy ignored him and drove off.

We arrive at Luke's house and we go straight to his room. His parents are out, as they are most the time. His father owns a magazine press and his mother is a lawyer. Luke and Tracy have always been left by themselves often since Tracy turned 12- when Luke was 6. Tracy is 20, and has been to university.. But dropped out after her first year. She now works as a shop keeper at the local shop whilst she is taking a teachers course for teaching dance.

Luke's room is quite small, but has enough room for a single bed, a desk and chair, a beanbag and a wardrobe. I sit on the edge of his bed and he sits next to me.

"Rebecca can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure." I smile.

"Are you and Connor.. Er.. You know, going out?" He asks me anxiously.

"No!" I reply, shaking my head.

"Okay, good." He smiles.

"Why would it matter if I wa-" I was cut off by his lips touching mine softly.

Shit.

What do I do.

I carry on with the kiss as it didn't feel wrong, it actually felt really good. The kiss gets slightly more passionate, Luke leaning in further and he put his hands around my waist. I reach up and link my arms around his neck, then I remember Connor. I pull away and look down at the floor. Suddenly the door opens.

"Hi guys, just wondering if you want maccies for tea?" Tracy asked us. We both nodded and she shut the door behind her and drove off to get McDonalds for us.

"Did you mean that?" Luke asks after what felt like a hours silence.

"I don't know. It felt right.. But I love someone else also."

"Oh, well it felt so good to me." He says, looking at his feet.
