28*

~Violet's POV~

Luke and I headed into English class, which I was very excited for. Not because of the class, but because it was the last class of the day and also it was Friday.

Because of Christmas, the whole school had the next two and a half weeks off. So I was excited for that, too. I didn't mind school, I guess, but I definitely didn't love it. At all.

I sat down in my seat beside Luke, the lights turning off in the room as the bell rang. We'd been watching the movie Big Eyes since we were going on break, rather than doing actual work. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the sudden darkness of the room as the movie sat on pause at the front of the room.

Luke scooted his chair closer to mine, lightly hitting my bare knee with his jean clad leg. I looked up at him, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Yeah?" I whispered, and he gave me a confused look. "Nothing." He said. I raised a brow, but slightly scooted down in my chair, brushing it off.

The movie began playing and it wasn't long until he lightly nudged my leg again, causing me to look at him. Of course, he was just staring at the screen, a hint of a smirk at the edge of his lips. I stared at him for a second before looking back at the screen, watching the movie again.

Not more than a minute later, his warm hand gripped my thigh. I jolted in surprise, looking over at him. Just like before, he wasn't looking at me but the screen.

I felt his fingertips lightly dig into my inner thigh, slowly creeping higher up. I grabbed his wrist, stopping him as I looked over at him with warm cheeks. "Don't." I whispered, not knowing what I was telling him to not do. He looked over at me, his voice a low murmur as he spoke.

"Don't what? I've not done anything." He softly rubbed at my leg, his fingers splaying across my thighs.

I dug my nails into his wrist, feeling the nerves bundle up in my stomach at the mere touch of his hand on my thigh. I tried to pay attention to the movie, attempting to ignore his wandering hand. It felt like hours before the class was over, the bell loudly going off and causing several people to go rushing out into the hallways.

Luke smoothly grazed his hand along my thigh as he moved away, standing up so that we could leave. I stood up beside him, nervously pulling my skirt down more as I pushed my chair in. He chuckled as I quickly walked out of the class, his footsteps following behind me. He walked beside me and I looked up at him, noticing the little amused smirk on his face.

"Don't be so pouty." He teased, bumping my hip. I glared at him, shoving his arm. "You were trying to touch me!" I huffed, shaking my head.

He raised a brow at me, feigning confusion. "I was not!" He exclaimed, "I was just sitting there." He said. I rolled my eyes, "You know what you were doing." I sighed, turning down the hallway. He chuckled, teasingly tugging on the end of a strand of my hair. "Do I? Maybe I wasn't doing anything, and you were just hoping I would." He hummed.

He twirled my hair around his finger and I smacked his hand away, gazing up at him. "I was not!" I exclaimed, pushing open the school door and walking outside. He grinned at me, "Whatever helps you sleep at night." He shrugged, unlocking his car. I climbed into the passengers seat, closing the door and glaring at him as he started the engine.

I reached over, going to flick him on the face until his hand shot up, gripping my wrist. His eyes stared at me intensely, the sound of the car doors locking piercing through the silence. His other hand reached over, grabbing the back of my neck and pulling me closer. His mouth kissed me roughly, forcing me to lean over the console between our seats.

He suddenly pulled away, surprising me by how quickly he backed out of the parking lot and sped off down the street. I gasped and looked over at Luke, whose hands were tightly clenched around the steering wheel. The car ride wasn't long at all, but the tension in the air made it feel like hours. He pulled into the driveway of my house, both of us unbuckling our seatbelts and getting out of the car.
