Not Actually A Bad Guy

Chapter 6

"So where are we going?" Luke looked at his hands.

"Take the first left, go ahead and turn right it's the second house from the right." Luke said without even looking at Calum. Luke felt really awkward in that car. He only met that guy two days ago and he's already giving him a ride. Luke felt Calum's stares on him. I wish there was something playing. A little music make this more comfortable Luke thought.

Calum thought the same because he turned the radio on. And guess what it was Luke's one of favorite songs.

"Oh my god I love this song." Luke screamed and pumped up the volume. He was singing his lungs out. And Calum was staring at him. Actually Calum liked that song too but he didn't like embarrass his self on other people. He touched dancing and singing crazily Luke's shoulder.

"Luke everyone's looking at us." Luke turned to Calum.

"What?" Calum smiled a little because he found Luke funny at that moment. Calum lowered the volume. Luke looked at Calum.

"Why did you do that?" Calum raised an eyebrow.

"It was too loud you couldn't even hear my voice plus everyone was looking at us." Luke looked down at his hands.

"Oh. I umm I'm sorry I just love that song." Actually Calum loved the brightness in Luke's eyes when he was singing. Calum wanted to see that brightness again. He smiled and turned up the volume again. This time he started to sing like crazy. But he couldn't dance because he was still driving the car. Luke turned to him and smiled widely. And he started to do same thing again. They continued singing loudly till they reach to Luke's house. Calum got out of his car. So do Luke.

"I so um t-thank you for driving me home." Calum shrugged.

"Look I need help at science." Luke was shocked that Calum was asking him for help. Luke looked at him with a confused impression.

"U-uh okay. We can study at my house or your house or at school. Doesn't matter. I don't know you're when you're free you tell me when. Just-" Calum cut him off.

" Tomorrow after school." He was acting like he didn't care. Suddenly a bravery showed up and Luke asked his question this time.

"What if you get detention again?" Luke noticed what he just asked and stepped back.

"Well we'll see then." Calum shrugged. He got in his car.

"I um thank you again." Calum looked at Luke from the window.

"Yeah, yeah." And started to car. Luke turned around and opened his bag for his key. He found it and got in his house.

"Dad? Dad are you home?" No response. He went upstairs and changed. He didn't know what to do. His home was so quiet. So Luke thought that maybe he could call Ashton. So he dialed Ashton's number and touched the call button. The phone rang. And Luke heard his cheeky friend's voice.

"Oh hi Luke." Luke smiled when he heard his friend's voice.

"I didn't think that you'd remember."

"Remember what?" Ashton sighed.

"You said that you'll call me when you get home." Luke totally forgot about that. He only called Ashton because he was bored. Luke felt guilty.

"I just called because I was bored." Luke blurted with innocence.

"Whatever it doesn't matter. You called me that's enough. So are you tired? I'm sorry."

"No I didn't walk actually." Luke was grateful that Calum gave him a ride. He couldn't walk all the way here.

"So how did you get home?" Ashton was curios. He couldn't fly right? But how? Since last time he checked Ashton was Luke's only friend. Ashton thought.

"Well Calum gave me a ride." Ashton's eyes widened. Calum was the bad guy of the school. Troubled guy.

"Calum Hood? How? Is he your friend? Luke be careful he's dangerous." Ashton's overprotective part was showing.

" I'm tutoring him Ashton. He haven't done anything to me yet." Luke giggled. Ashton could act silly sometimes. It was just a kid what could he do. He won't gonna rape Luke right?

"You don't know Luke. He's you know bad he always wears black and all that stuff. He has tattoos and piercings. He gets into a lot of fights. Stay away from him Luke." Luke was so mad that Ashton judged Calum by his look.

"You can't judge him by just looking at him. You don't know what he's hiding underneath. You know what he's trying. He's trying to learn things. He asked me to help him with science today. You're so Ashton he's not actually a bad guy." Luke was so pissed at Ashton. And all Ashton did was telling Luke to be careful.

"Luke-" Luke cut him off.

"No Ashton." And shut the phone to Ashton's face. Ashton put his phone down. Stared at space.

"What have I done? Luke hates me now. I was just I-I just wanted him to be safe. Is it a bad thing?"
