The Struggle

Sydney's P.O.V.

By the time I catch up with Luke, it's too late. He's already pushed Ashton off of his bike and is punching him.

"Luke!!!! Get off if him!!" I scream at him as I pull him up off of Ashton and push him towards his car.

"I'm really sorry!!" I apologize to Ashton, on Luke's behalf. Not that it would mean anything to him anyway I think to myself.

"Oh no! You're bleeding," I say to him as I examine his nose. "C'mon you can ride with Luke and me to school." I insist.

"NO! There's no way I'm riding to school with him! Besides, for all I know he'll push my out of the car in the middle of the road." He states

I can tell Luke is starting to get impatient because he starts to continuously beep the horn.

"Are you coming or not!?" Luke questions.

"No really, come on he won't hurt you. He's really not that tough" I confess to Ashton as I start pulling him towards the car. "Besides, we need to get you to the nurse as soon as possible to fix your nose."

When we get to the car, Luke doesn't seem pleased that Ashton is standing next to me.

"NO! There's no way in hell I am driving him to school" Luke protests.

"Luke, after what you did to him it's the least you can do!" I argue, knowing that it will have no affect.

"Sydney! I said no! Now c'mon get in the car. You're already a half an hour late cause of that idiot" Luke states as he gestures towards Ashton.

I give Ashton I quick 'I'm so sorry' look and get in the car with Luke. I can't help but look in the side window mirror and watch Ashton.

"Are you even listening to me!?" Luke asks me. He must get the message that I wasn't cause he restates his question, "How will Mr. Spade react to you being late?" Luke asked, seeming rather annoyed.

"He won't mind. He said come in when ever is good for me."

We don't talk the rest of the ride there.
