I walked in and started to make my way towards the front office to get my locker combination and schedule. I had just taken a few steps when suddenly I had the breath knocked out of me as a set of strong arms wrapped around me and the smell of vanilla invaded my nostrils and- "OH MY GOD Luke I'm so sorry, I'm so so so sorry......I know this was like a terrible summer and I couldn't be there and I know I should've been there I mean I'm your best friend and as your best friend I should've been there, instead I was away and oh God please tell me you're not mad at me?"

"I'm not mad Katy but you need to let go it's kind of difficult to breathe-" I said as I attempted to pry myself out of the death grip Katy had on me. She let go immediately and started apologising again-

"Oh dear God Katy stop it...stop apologizing" I said and gripped her arms, shaking her so that she would actually give me a chance to speak "I'm not mad at you seriously what's gotten into you?"

"Really I mean it was a difficult summer?"

"Yeah it was but Candace was there and mom too, and you did call quite a few times besides I'm better now"

"Honestly? you're not lying to me are you? because I feel like such a horrible friend-"

"No Katy I'm not lying I promise and its not like you had a choice, you know your parents; you had to go"

"Yeah..."

"Seriously Katy look at me I'm fine" I told her lifting my arms and shrugging giving her a wide smile.

"So we're good?"

"yeah we're good"

"Now come here so I can give my best friend a proper hug and not whatever you gave me and called it a hug"

"Hey !! that is a great hug ok it sh-" she started to protest but I cut her off and pulled her into a nice hug sighing-

"Well welcome back home Kathryn Hughes I've bloody missed you!!"

"Me too Luke me tooo. Where are you going anyway?"

"front office I haven't gotten my locker number come on" I said and pulled her along. I linked our arms and we set of down the hallway to the office.

As we walked I could feel people's eyes on me although they turned around and pretended not to look as soon as I tried to catch them looking. As if I was some kind of freak show and they were just waiting for something to happen; I don't know what they expected to happen, but I was determined not to lose my cool so I ignored them and turned to Katy to ask her how her trip to France went.

I already knew what her answer would be but I asked any way because it provided me with a distraction and just as I thought she said "Yeah it was pretty good you know...I mean with so many uncles and aunts and cousins I was barely alone ever. Oh and yeah I got you something I'll give it to you later okay"

"Ooooo awesome!! what did you get me?"

"I'm not telling you, it's a surprise"

"Oh come onnnn....that's not fair"

By then we'd already reached the office and I'd collected my combination and schedule. I read through it and we compared schedules. I only had advanced English and Math with her on four days, other than that all our classes were separate. Once she realized this she let out a string of curses and just shoved her schedule into her bag. I laughed and we set off to find my locker.

________________________________________________________

As I put in my locker combination Katy leaned besides me and asked me how Candace was doing and if my Mom was holding up fine. I assured her we were all recovering and my mom was better than she'd ever been, she'd even managed to bag a promotion. As we were talking and I was adjusting my books in my locker her phone rang and she stepped to the side to answer it. I was still totally engrossed in making my locker look neat I didn't realize some one was standing right behind me until that someone cleared their throat-

"And what exactly do you think you are doing fiddling with my locker?" a deep baritone asked from behind me. Not expecting that I jumped and turned around only to look into the bluest eyes I'd ever seen ....they were such a brilliant blue and they were followed by a slightly crocked nose and-

"Hey are you even listening to what I'm saying or are you too interested in checking me out" blue eyes said waving a hand in front of my face and smirking.

"Uhhuh....yeah yeah I'm listening, I'm listening....aannd this is MY locker" I said with slightly narrowed eyes "and just for the record I wasn't checking you out"

"Keep telling yourself that and cant be" he said a smug grin gracing his features, holding up a sheet of paper with his schedule which had the same locker number on the top corner.

I fished out my schedule and showed it to him "can be"

He snatched the paper from my hand to take a closer look and I looked at him properly this time and OH SHIT was that Finn Ryerson jock boy extraordinaire, like seriously he was the most popular boy in school and boy was he easy on the eyes, I shook my head out of the haze it had fallen into and reprimanded my inner self 'bad Luke that's just a bad choice, he's probably straight as a pole, no one's ever heard of him dating a guy and even if I'm just admiring the way his unruly dark blonde curls fell into his eyes, it probably wasn't a smart decision, nevertheless I continued to look at him I saw his features twist into irritation

"What the hell? They gave two people the same locker number"

"yup you are going to have to find yourself another locker"

"What why should I do that? You find yourself another locker? He said getting slightly more irritated

I put one hand on my waist held one finger up and said "Well for one all my things have already been set up and two I got here before you so bye" with that I moved to walk and was immediately pulled back

"No hell no yo-"

"Oh don't be stupid both of you just go the office to and rectify whatever confusion there is" a third voice intervened, a voice I recognized as Candaces.

Me and Finn looked at each other and I said "yeah we should do that" "later then??" I asked Finn

"No we're going now" with that he set off towards the office. I let out a frustrated groan and stomped after him, there go my plans for not being late on my very first day.
