"how could you?" i softly question her with hurt written in my voice.
"kate, i'm sorry but i just can't do this." she sighs in defeat.
"don't talk to me, i never want to see you ever again. just leave!" i shriek, mixed emotions of anger and betrayal...

KATE'S POV i was currently by the stairwell, listening to the cd luke gave me. track 3 meant a lot to me, which is wonderwall by oasis.
"hey. how's it going?" luke pops out of nowhere with a gigantic grin. jeez when does the kid not smile. i take off my headphones.
"i've had better days." i sigh.
"oh, yeah?" he walks towards and takes a seat right next to me.
"i was just thinking about you." i confess.
"you were?" his voice cracks, wearing a shock expression.
"i love this." i state, referring to the album he gave me. "i know it's super popular or whatever, but track 3 is kinda saving my life right now."
"which ones that again?" he asks. i play the track and bring the headphones closer to us, that way we can both hear it.
i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now
"i wonder who he's singing about. don't you?" i ask him. i look towards him and his facial expression seemed as if he had some sort of idea.
"i gotta go." he quickly speaks, taking his backpack and exiting.
"uh, i'll see you later?" he stops at the doorway.
"absolutely." he cheekily smiles before leaving.
it was the next day and i'm back in the AV room for the morning announcements. as i'm setting up the camera, leslie walks up to me.
"kate?"
"hey, leslie."
"i heard something about you today. something upsetting." she leans towards me. "are you a homo?" she whispers. god damn, why are people so nosy.
"no! that's ridiculous." i reply defensively.
"of course it is! i mean, ew, gross!" she chuckles. "either way, i hope you overcome this, i'll pray for you." she speaks, placing her hand on my shoulder. i mentally roll my eyes.
"thanks." i reply, trying to control my anger. i return back to the camera, and set it up, still frustrated with the conversation.
the morning announcements started and some random video appeared. wonderwall by oasis started to play in the background with some random kid singing along to it. i realized it was luke, along with tyler and mquaid. the video was hilarious and i giggled at a couple of parts. i look up and notice luke staring at me with a grin on his face. i shyly smile back.
the music stops and luke appears on the screen once again with some weird glasses. he lifts his glasses up and asks the most unexpected question.
"kate messner, will you go out with me?"
my heart instantly drops. luke slowly walks towards me as the camera paneled over to us. i froze and just stared at the lens with a shocked expression. it stayed like that for about 30 seconds until luke snapped me back into reality.
"kate?"
"yes." i quickly reply, regretting it afterwards.
"ha!" luke exclaims out of relief. everyone cheered and luke smiled at the camera with his arms around me while my expression remained the same.
oh shit, what have i done?
kind of a short chapter, but! there will be some kemaline in the next chapter ;)
