Good Girl (Luke Hemmings)

Part 5

"Hey." I sighed. Luke and I were walking home from the bus stop, but I tried to stay away from him. Screw him and those long legs.

"Hi." I replied.

"So, I've gotta look after you for the next week?" He smiled and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, something like that." Was my reply, putting my key in the lock of my house. "Can you maybe go away now?" I sighed, pushing open my door.

He shook his head, smiling at me. "Nope. Gotta supervise." I groaned and motioned for him to come inside. "Why are you so against me?" 

"Because I want to be alone." I walked upstairs, him following me, unfortunately. "Just because you have to be in the house at the same time as me doesn't mean you have to follow me around." I turned out and said to him.

"But it's a Friday night, and anyway you gotta come over to my house anyway." Luke shrugged.

I squinted my eyes slightly at him. "Fine." I said with a sigh, putting on a smile. "I've got tutoring in about half an hour, so I'll come over and see when I should come over for dinner, and then do you promise you'll leave me alone?"

"Sure. But why do you have a tutor? You definitely don't need one." He asked me.

"It's not for school subjects. It's for other topics such as computer science and astrophysics among other. My parents really want me to gain as much knowledge as possible in my growing years." I smiled at him, trying to make myself sound as smart as possible. Luke nodded as an okay, and we headed over to his house. 

Liz decided that I should be at her house by 8:30 each night to have dinner, and then I'd stay the night. I thought this was a reasonable time, although I made sure to say that I was going to go to a documentary marathon at the cinema 10 minutes away, and I wouldn't be back until 3am at the latest tomorrow. Liz was a little questioning at that, until Luke said he'd go with me. I internally rolled my eyes at him, knowing full well he was making this up to cover for himself. Liz said that was okay, but she wouldn't wait up. Luke would have a key and we had to be home by 3am at the latest. We all agreed, and I went to have my tutoring.

* After Dinner at the Hemmings' *

"So you'll sleep on the couch, dear?" Liz asked me. I nodded, going to set up.

"She can sleep in my bed." Luke offered. 

"What a good host, Luke." Liz said. "I'm sure you'd much prefer to sleep in a bed, wouldn't you?" She asked me.

I shook my head. "No no, I don't want to trouble you. I'm fine to sleep on the couch." 

"No, it's ok, no trouble caused at all. I can literally crash anywhere." Luke smiled at me, and I sighed internally. There was no way I was getting out of this one.

"Then it's settled. Alicia, you'll sleep in Luke's bed, Luke, you'll sleep on the couch." I tried to protest, but Liz insisted, as did Luke. I ended up sleeping in Luke's bed.

* Saturday *

I woke up to my alarm, checking the time. 9:10am. Not bad for a weekend, but I should get up straight away. I suddenly realised I was in a foreign room. I panicked for a second, but calmed down. I don't think I went to a party last night, but anything could have happened. Matt. I thought, and again panicked slightly. What he never knows won't hurt him. I thought to myself. I rolled over to find an empty bed. That's strange, the guy is normally a lazy ass and gets up after 12. I also couldn't hear the shower going, so that made me even more confused.
