"You've got to be kidding me." I said as I sighed loudly, walking into period 2.
I looked at the seating chart on the board, that said who my physics partner would be for this year... Luke.
"No... No no no no no no.. Absolutely not." He complained, looking at the board wide eyed.
"How the hell is it possible that I end up with two periods with YOU so far, and I have only one out of the ENTIRE day with my friends?" I said angrily, poking him in the chest.
"Can you not touch me?" He grumbled, glaring at me.
"I'm just emphasizing my point. Stop being such a girl." I retorted as I moved to sit in my seat.
"If there's a problem with the person you're partnered with, please let me know." The teacher announced.
Luke and I immediately shot our hands up into the air. The teacher looked at us, raising an amused eyebrow.
"What's the problem here?" She asked, smiling a little devilishly.
"We don't like each other." I stated.
"No. She likes me... But I don't like her. That's a problem. She'll be drooling over me all day." Luke stated arrogantly.
"I think you two are fine sitting together." The teacher said as she turned back around and began lecturing the class on something boring.
"Eww. You again." I said with a sigh.
"Shut up. I'm not happy to see you either." He replied, rolling his eyes.
"You should've gave a better excuse. Then, maybe we could've actually gotten away from each other." I said with a false cheerful voice.
"God. You're so annoying!" He sighed loudly.
"I don't even know WHY I like you! You're so-" I started.
"AHA! So, you DO like me!" He exclaimed, smirking.
Damn it. Damn it damn it damn it. Why did I... Why did I say that I liked him?? What the heck is wrong with me! Why do I even like him anyways? He's so... Ugh.. And I'm so... Well... I'm so ugh too, but at least I'm actually nice and friendly, unlike him.
"You're staring at me again... Awww... Did I hit a nerve?" He teased.
"No. I'm frozen by your ugliness." I mocked, using his comeback.
"Learn to make your own comebacks." He retorted, and turned to face the board.

The rest of the period passed by, uneventful, and I fortunately didn't have 3rd period with him. It was soon lunch time, and I met up with Jules and Shutter.
"So, I saw you and Luke this morning." Jules said, giving me a creepy look.
"Ugh. He's obnoxious." I said, shaking my head.
"Well, you like him, so, that's your decision." She said sassily, giving me a 'what the hell' look.
"Yeah... You're right... Sorry.. I'm just gonna go now." I said, excusing myself.
I wasn't sure when my best friend turned into someone I barely knew, or if she was like this all along and I just seemed to not notice. As I thought about it more and more, I realized that she was always like this, but I always just went along with her, listening to everything she said... Did she even consider me her best friend? Or even a friend at all?
I felt tears prick my eyes as I walked quickly with my head down, trying to avoid anyone seeing me. The tears fell from my lashes rapidly as I walked quicker and quicker, almost running.
"UFF!" A voice said as I walked into them.
"I'm so, so, sorry." I said, looking up, seeing that it was Luke's best friend, Ashton.
"Amber, are you alright?" He asked, looking at me concerned. He grabbed me by the shoulders, looking me in the eyes.
"Y-Yeah, fine..." I mumbled and wiped my eyes.
"You know, if you need someone to talk to... You can talk to me." He offered sweetly.
"Could I?" I asked, needing someone to talk to.
"Sure. Here. Let's sit." He instructed as he led me to the bench.
I told him the whole story. From the beginning of the day, when Jules introduced me to Shutter, and to the first two periods of the day with Luke, and finally to the last ten minutes, and how I realized Jules really wasn't my friend.
It was nice getting it all out, and telling someone all my troubles. As I told him, he sat there, nodding and looking sympathetic.
"Thank you." I said finally.
"If you ever need someone to talk to, just come to me alright?" He instructed, smiling at me.
"Yeah, I will. Thanks, Ash. You're the best." I said, and hugged him.
"Amber, there's something I wanted to ask yo-" He started, but was cut off.
"ASHTONNN!!! HURRY UP!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET ME AT THE BASKETBALL COURT TWENTY MINUTES AGO!" I turned to see Luke standing many feet away, looking upset at Ashton.
"I'm sorry, I gotta go, but, we'll talk again soon, alright?" He said, smiling. He walked away, to where Luke was, leaving me alone on the bench.
I slowly got up and walked around the campus aimlessly, looking around and enjoying the scenery outside of the school's halls.
I felt peaceful, at ease with the world, and with everything... Until my head got hit really hard by something heavy... A basketball.
My head whipped around, and I saw the culprit... Luke. No surprise there. What a jerk. I picked up the basketball that got beamed at my head, and threw it as hard as I could. It his Luke right in the forehead, causing me to jump up in victory and satisfaction.
"Ouch. Was it necessary to beam the ball at my forehead?" He grumbled, glaring at me.
"You started it. I just returned the favor." I replied, shrugging.
"That was a complete accident, I wasn't even aiming for you, I was aiming for-"
"My head. You were aiming for my head. I'm in the middle of the football field. What else could you be aiming at?!" I yelled, shaking my head.
"Okay, so, I was aiming for your head, but what the hell are you doing anyways? You're just standing here like a complete lunatic." He said, giving me a funny look.
"Avoiding people like you." I answered simply, and continued looking at the sky.
"You're nuts." He answered, but stood next to me, looking up at the clouds in the sky.
We stood there for a few minutes, watching the clouds roll past us, the bright blue sky being beautiful, as usual. The school bell rang, startling both of us. Luke quickly grabbed his basketball and walked away, not even glancing back at me once.
"Goodbye." I whispered into the breeze, but no one heard it except myself.
