Chances

Chapter 2

It was days before I saw Luke again, and the day he finally came he sat next to me smiling.

"Hey"

"Hi" I said smiling, staring into his blue eyes that sucked me in.

"So um, I was just wondering if you wanna hang at the mall today after school?" He hesitated for a while before he added "just for fun, ya know?"

"Oh, yeah sure" I said grinning I turned away and looked at the teacher hiding my smile. Only my best friend James would ever hang out with me, but he seemed a bit dodgy around me and it made me feel uncomfortable.

School finally finished for the day and Luke walked beside me humming.

God I just wanted to hold him.

"So what shop do you wanna go to?" He said laughing when we went inside

"Um, what?" I said slightly confused

"Oh so you don't like going shopping? Not like Rebbeca?"

I laughed playfully punching him

"Rebecca? Please, all she does is do the duck face and flirt with 'cute' boys... Like you"

I instantly regret the last two words and I could feel my cheeks getting red.

"so that's why she was laughing at me for no reason? I thought there was something wrong with me"

'How could anything be wrong with you?' I thought. 'You're perfect'

I smile at him, the way he ignored the last two words made me feel relieved.

"Rach?" I hear a yell from behind me, I turn around and there was James to pull me into a surprising hug

"Oh uh hey..." I said feeling slightly awkward

I hear Luke sigh beside me and I try pull away but he doesn't let go right away

I straighten my clothes and say,

"What are you doing here?"

"Not much, do you mind if I hang with you guys?"

I feel Luke tense up but I don't say anything to either of them. Of course I don't want James to hang out with me, especially when I was with Luke.

In the end I said I had to be home by 5:00 pm which was a lie and Luke knew it, I could tell by the look he gave me and I already told him my curfew was 10:00 pm. I felt bad for Luke, I had left him with James, and if that wasn't one of the worst things I've done than I don't know what is.

Luke's P.O.V

Rachel left. I'll admit on the first day of school, when James saw me with Rachel he weirded me out. He was always staring at Rachel which made me a little jealous. I don't know why, but it did.

Suddenly James pushed me out into the courtyard

"Alright, listen here Lucky or whatever your name is"

"It's Luke" I said clenching my fists

"I honestly don't care. Just stay away from Rachel."

This made me furious. She was my friend. Not only that but she made me feel something inside of me. Longing. Longing I could hold her. Longing she'd be mine.

"Why, why the hell should I listen to a creep like you?" I almost yelled

"Because I'm gonna make her mine."

"Are you fucking blind?!" I yelled. But I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to be rude.

"she doesn't like you! Did you see her face when you hugged her? I can tell how uncomfortable you make her! So why the hell should I listen to you?" He squinted his eyes suspiciously before murmuring

"You'll see."
