Chapter Eight

The tardy bell goes and I have to rush off to my last class of the day, which was thankfully with Anni. I had to tell her what was happening this time. I can only imagine what anger Calum must be feeling, because of me… It feels like the drama never ends…

Anni POV

“What happened to make you so giddy all of a sudden?” Megan questioned, raising her eyebrow slightly. I could only smile back at her and shrug my shoulders. Megan, Aimee and Grace- who I met and apologized to all looked at each other in confusion. I swung my bag over my shoulder and shut my locker with gusto, and began to skip away to my next class. The girls hurried after me,

“Okay some shit went down, after you left at lunch. So what the frickity-frack happened?” Megan grilled. I look at her, weirdly.

“Yes I just said frickity-frack, okay! But seriously what the hell happened? Don’t leave me on a cliff-hanger, woman!” She grabbed my shoulders and shook me, as if shaking me would release the answer. I grinned wider,

“I talked to Luke.” Their reactions were all shocked, except for Grace who still looked confused. Aimee’s hand clamped over her mouth and her eyes were wide. Megan’s reaction included gasping and clutching her chest, where her heart would be, such the drama queen, I think fondly.

“And?” Aimee bursts, unable to wait. I couldn’t wipe the silly grin I had plastered on my face.

“Ohmygod, did you get some?” Megan says, poking my stomach, “I hope you used protection!”

My face went crimson, hiding my face at her vulgar words.

“Oh. My. God. You. Got. Some!!” She squeals, clapping her hands like some retarded seal. I pulled my hands away from my face and exclaimed,

“No! Oh my goodness, you of all people should know that I would never! And with Luke, he is like my brother! We talked and sorted things out between us, that’s all!”

Grace’s head flicks between us all, “Okay, first of all, who is Luke? And second of all, someone explain that the heck happened between Anni and him?”

Megan turns to Grace and quickly explains to her what happened between Luke and I. In detail. I cringe at some moments; like how I nearly kissed Ashton- she knew exactly what happened because I hadn’t spared any details.

Grace’s confusion, soon turned to one of understanding,

“So he’s super protective, and got angry at her for nearly hooking up with his band-member and they have never fought like this for as long as you’ve known the two of them-“

“-For as long as I’ve known Luke,” I interrupt, trying to show that we hadn’t ever fought like that before. “Come on, we have got to get to-“

“Anni!!” I hear someone call from behind me. Luke. Spinning around I am presented with a red-faced, clearly puffed Luke.

“Luke? What’s going on, we were just heading to English-“

“Anni-“ he interjected, grabbing my hand, “I need to talk to you.”

Confused, I attempted to pull my hand away, but his grip was to strong. Giving up, I reply

“What about, Luke? We have to get to class, the second bell has already gone!”

Ignoring my last comment, he turns to the equally confused three girls, and states that they need to cover for us. Megan and Aimee both nod, but Grace stands there with her mouth open, looking up at Luke with wide eyes. I guess Luke has another admirer- every girl in the school accepted the fact that Luke was quite handsome, even Megan and I.
