I'll Be(Luke Brooks)

Chapter 5

"Why didn't you return any of my text?!" she shouted. I put my books in my locker.

"I'm grounded," I sighed.

She nodded, "Your mum figured out about what happened?"

I grabbed my first period stuff, "Uh huh, no phone, laptop, or going out." I leaned on my locker.

"Darn, tonight was family bowling night, and I wanted to see if you wanted to join to entertain me." Mikki  said a little disappointed.

I patted her shoulder, "I wish I could, but sorry Micks." Just then, Luke, Tyla, Daniel, James, and a couple of other friends of theirs walked by Mikki and I. My eyes landed on Luke, as I watched them walk on. He quickly glanced at me, and I looked down. Dammit! I hate this! 

"Lani! What are you thinking about?" Mikki asked.

I came closer, "Last night, Luke kissed me-" I began to whisper to her.

"YOU AND-" I quickly covered her mouth.

" Be quiet, I didn't finish!" I hissed. " We did, but then he walked away without explanation, and I haven't been able to talk to him yet." I finished.

Mikki gasped, "That was a dickhead move!" she said. 

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm getting annoyed. I'll see you later." I said, as the bell rang, and I walked to class.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was lunch time, and I went to my table where all my friends were. Well, that didn't include, Jai or James. It was a couple of girls, Jaylan and Arabell, including Mikki, but she likes to get extra help, and she's always in clubs; so she doesn't sit with us a lot. I sat down, and the girls smiled at me.

"Hey Lani, how are you?" Jaylan asked.

I sighed, "I've had better days." she nodded, I looked over at Luke's table, and saw him being quiet, while everyone was loud. He looked up slightly, and saw me. I quickly turned my attention to my food. 

After, playing with my food for about ten minutes, I got up and threw it away. I sat back down, and just played with my nails the rest of the lunch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I walked out of the school, exhausted from doing work fro two hours straight. I saw Daniel waiting with James, Jai, and Beau. "Don't you guys ever take a break from each other? Like, seriously?" I asked.

"No, we are very happy being together every second of the day." Beau wrapped his arm around Daniel's shoulder jokingly. I rolled my eyes.

I started walking in the direction to my house when Daniel grabbed the back of my shirt. "We're going to Beau, Luke, and Jai's house." Daniel said.

"I thought I was grounded?" I said.

"You are, but Mum knows you'll go snooping for your phone. So I have to drag you everywhere I go, if Mum's not home." Daniel stated.

I looked at him, "So I am pretty much being babysat? That's lovely." I said sarcatically.

The boys laughed, as Luke finally came out. "Where were you?" Jai asked.

"Fucking got a detention for wearing black socks. I went the whole day, without anyone noticing, and got caught." Luke huffed.

The boys just nodded, and we got in the car, "Here Lani sit in the front, I'll squeeze in the back." Daniel said. I nodded, as I sat in the passenger seat. 

"Dude you won't fit." James said. I held back my fits of giggles.

"That's what she said." I said slyly. Everyone laughed.

The boys finally got in the car, and we drove to the Brook's residence. All through the ride I heard complaining,  I was glad to get out of the car, and so were the others. We walked into the house, and we were immediately greeted by Lala. She jumped on my leg, and I bent down and patted her.

"Hey girl. Oh yes, I enjoy your puppy kisses." I cringed a bit when she licked my face.

"You better bitch." Jai did his Lala voice. I laughed, and straightened out my skirt and wiped my face. 

"Oh you guys are home!" Gina came out of the kitchen. "Leilani! Nice seeing you!" Gina hugged me.

"You too Gina." I smiled.

"We'll be in Beau's room." Daniel said, following the boys up.

"Mind helping me with dinner?" Gina asked.

"Not at all." I said politely.

Gina told me I to chop up some vegetables, as she got the meat cooking. Gina then had to take Lala out , and I got more vegetables from the fridge. I was digging around, and someone cleared their throat. I pulled out some peppers, and turned around. I saw Luke with a glass in his hands.

"Oh sorry," I mumbled. He just nodded, as I went to move, but he moved that way too. I then decided to move the other way, but again he went that way too. I let out an awkward laugh. He smiled a bit, but it quickly disappeared. We got out of each other's way, and I decided to talk to him again about last night again. It was later.

"So how's it going, besides that detention?" I asked.

Luke poured himself a drink, "Oh, uh, good? I guess?"

"Hmm, niicee. Hey, can we-" I began to say, but Beau's voice cut me off.

"LUKE CAN YOU GRAB ME MY  PHONE CHARGER?!" 

Luke frowned, "Sorry." he then hurried off, to grab Beau's charger.

I huffed, and washed the vegetables off. "What's the matter?" Gina asked walking with Lala's leash in hand.

"Oh nothing," I shook my head, as I started cutting again.

"Liar," Gina stated, "I'm a girl. I know "oh nothing is "oh SOMETHING" she said. I smiled. "Is it Luke?:

I knitted my eyebrows together, "Wha-what?"

She laughed, "I saw what happened earlier," I blushed, "you two are so shy around each other, it's hard not to notice you two like each other."

"Does everyone notice?" I asked.

Gina shrugged, "I don't know, but ever since Jai invited you over to the house. Luke would spend an extra ten minutes to make sure his bunk was clean and nice. And you would be a cherry if you sat next ti him at dinner. I'm a mom I notice these things." she smiled.

"Uh okay?" I didn't know what else to say.

She laughed harder," I'm just going to stop, because I know you're not very comfortable talking about this." 

"Thanks." 

"Mhmm." We went back to cooking in silence. I set the table, and Gina called the boys down. I sat in between Jai and Daniel. That was pretty much it. Then, my mum picked Daniel and I up, and we went home. I did some lesson work, and went to bed. Simple.

My apologizes if the chapter was boring and crap.
