Not you again - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 5

Alison

This can't be. It just can't.

No, no, no, no, noooooooo.

I'm dead.

For sure I will die.

Why? I moved so far away this just can't be happening.

I sat in my chair while panicking, a lot. Sammy sat next to me and wanted to know why I was so upset, but I wasn't even sure to tell her. If nobody knows, nobody can remind me. Nobody beside Luke.

Luke was one of my bullies, like not really a bully but still. He was friends with a lot of them, so he was always laughing at me and even made some jokes himself. So yes it could have been worse but he was still part of this whole bullying-squad. Thank god, he didn't recognize me. He was never really interested in me, that's why he wasn't one of the main bullies, he just didn't care. I haven't seen him a whole year because he graduated before me. I didn't knew what happened with them after graduation, but I never ever imagined him ending up here. Why does life hate me so much.

"Alison you finally want to tell me what happened out there? You looked at him like he would kill you any second." she asked again slowly starting to get pissed by me always ignoring her questions.

"Be quiet I need to catch up at Math." I answered not knowing what to say.

"We are at Physics!" she exclaimed a bit too loud so the girl in front of us turned around and glared at us.

"I'm just exhausted. I don't know he looked familiar, but it isn't him." I lied. I know she didn't belief me a bit but she finally stopped asking.

The rest of the lesson was quiet. I did really need to catch up, my scholarship needs to be deserved, and still I don't want to lose my good grades just because of Luke. He has already ruined enough.

After the bell rang Sammy got up still ignoring me.

"Sammy, I'm sorry it's just, I really really don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry, can I make it up to you?" I apologized.

"Go to the party with me on Friday." she just stated. Oh shit. I already told her ten times that I sure as hell won't come, but now I guess I didn't have the choice anymore. I sighed, what have I gotten myself into.

"Okay, fine. I will go."

"Yes! Finally. It will be fun I promise. Come over at 5pm on Friday so we can get ready together." she said happily lightly jumping around.

"Do you think we should ask Kimberly, Melisa and Anna as well?"

"Nah, we'll meet them there. It's just about getting ready. I think they know how to." she stated while shrugging.

"So I don't?"

"You don't."

"Well thanks for your trust in me." I answered while pouting a little. I'm not that bad... I guess.

"Just wanting the best for you. And beside, I think Luke will like it as well when he sees a bit of your body." she winked making me gulp.

"I don't know if this is the best idea." I'm not even interested in Luke, or boys at all. I mean yes I am interested in boys and he's really handsome but not... you know I'm just way to shy and self-conscious to really like a boy.

"Yes and this is why you have me."

Oh dear.

It was lunch now. Sammy and I decided to get some pizza. Calum told her that this was the best place to have some, so we asked Kimberly, Melissa and, sadly, Anna to join us. When the waitress brought us the pizza everyone started eating like they haven't eaten anything in years. I was sharing my pizza with Anna because she said she needed to keep her body. Of course it was my opportunity to say that I wasn't that hungry. I picked up the first slice, nearly moaning at the taste. Calum's right, this is seriously the best place. I enjoyed my pizza because I hadn't eaten anything in one and a half days and I need to keep my energy up.

"This is so good who told you this place again." Kimberly asked.

"Calum." Sammy answered shortly, so she didn't need to stop eating.

"How comes you already got to known boys." Melissa laughed.

"Don't know he just talked to me, but I'm happy about it, because the pizza is amazing." she answered hoping that they would get the hint that she want to eat her pizza first.

"Of course he did." Anna stated and we didn't really know how she meant it, but we didn't care as well.

Till we were done eating nobody talked again. I was so full after that half pizza that I thought my belly would explode. Thank god I put on the lose pullover. I felt fat.

"So whose this Calum guy?" Melissa asked.

"Don't know we just met. He's one year older and attends the same college obviously. He's kind of cute." she stated while smiling.

"That's nice, will he be at the party?" Melissa asked.

"Of course." Sammy answered smirking at Melissa and Kimberly. It will be a hart decision to whether party like Melissa and the others or stick with Anna. But probably everything beside staying with Anna will be a better idea. I didn't really get their friendship. Anna was always in a bad mood and didn't want to do anything while Kimberly and Melissa were really cool, even too cool sometimes. But well who am I to judge Sammy and I are the total opposites as well.

"I hope there will be all those cute guys that I have already seen around." Kimberly stated. How can she be so confident without being as skinny as the others? She probably never got bullied for it, stupid.

"Oh I hope so." Melissa laughed.

"I'm hoping for Calum, he was like really hot. No matter for how long it lasts." Sammy laughed. Oh well here we go having girly boys talk.

"What do you mean by no matter how long it lasts?" I was kind of confused. I never pictured Sammy as the slutty one who has one night stands.

"It's obvious that he just wants to get in my pants, but I want to, you know, make him stay." she winked at me. "And if it doesn't work, it was fun at least."

"Oh." was the only thing I could say. I wasn't so much into this so I didn't know if this was bad or not. I never had this much friends my whole life so I wasn't used to talk to someone about boys.

"Ease up a bit Lis, it is fun, don't worry." Kimberly laughed and I tried to smile along.

"Don't worry I'm not into this as well." Anna said. I was kind of taken aback, it was the first nice thing she has ever said, like, at all.

"Okay." I smiled slightly, still not knowing what to do, or say. I think I kind of ruined the conversation because we went paying shortly afterwards. Nice one, Alison.
