I was walking down the hall thinking.
Luke can't really care about me.
Can he?
Think
What has he done to show he cares about you?
Well he now drives me to and from school
He talks to me no matter if I reply or not
What else?
That's it
But what has he done to show that he doesn't care about me?
Nothing.
I was so deep in thought that I went down the main corridor rather than going the long way
I tried to turn around but I was stuck
You can't just go against the current of a moving corridor
It's like trying to swim against a current only harder because you are most likely to get hurt and everyone is pushing, desperate to get to lunch,
Animals.
I took my eyes off the ground for a second and caught the eyes of a major bully - Isaac
Complete and utter twats
Fucking pricks
Ugh they're walking over
Let the bullying begin
Just ignore them.
Just ignore everyone.
And I did,
Until I heard the one voice that can pierce through my clouded mind shout
Luke.
Next thing I know I've been shoved to the lockers
Out of the way
Out of sight
out of mind
But Luke's blue eyes looked straight at me checking I was okay
He got hit
Hard
For me
Add another thing to the list to show that he cares
He goes down
Fear glues me to the spot
Completely horrified, I had a flash back
A very drunk Mark slammed me against the wall
I can't even remember what we were arguing about
I have tried to block it from my brain
But I can't block the pain
I get hit
Repeatedly
I sob and fall to the ground with my back against the wall as he leaves
"Slut" he spits in my direction
I am snapped back to reality as Luke grabs my shoulders and lifts my chin up to look at his face instead of the groaning man on the floor
I just nod answering whatever he asked me and drag him to the car,
Not wanting to spend another minute in that hell hole
Translation: school
