Confrontation.

I hate confrontations more than anything in the world.

"I uh-"

It shouldn't be hard if you could just admit the truth! My inner self mocks me,

"Because I remember you telling me they you're single. I mean, I'm not prying or anything but, what's up?"

I sighed, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my best friend"

"And you kissed him?!" She shrieked,

"Shh, no no, you got it all wrong, I mean yeah, I kissed him but it was just..."

"You wanted Travis to back off didn't you?" She asks,

"Well, I-uh..yes, I mean that night he was being.."

"I know I was there" She laughs,

I can't seem to finish any of my sentences right now.

"I thought you were to drunk to remember" I teased as she laugh,

"So let me get this straight, You kissed Connor and told Travis that he's your boyfriend so that he will back off. Travis is not your type?"

Luke is her type! My inner self just wouldn't shut up right now.

"No, I don't like him at all. I think I'm contented with just studying" I shrugged,

"Nerd"

"Anyways, I have a question"

"What?"

"What happened to your room? You never really mentioned it"

"It was Ashton and that caveman of a friend he calls, Luke"

My heart stops, Luke?

"W-what happened?" I tried not to stutter,

"Yeah. Luke was so pissed that night and that was the night I first met him. He was so drunk that he can barely walk. We were having a party downstairs because it was Delta's Anniversary.. 78th anniversary. We were packed that day and then the Alphas came and Luke was with Ashton and Calum, Calum wasn't inked back then him and Luke were clean, but now look at their sleeve tattoos, Anyways, I knew then that Luke was having a rough night, he barely talked to any Delta's, the girls here are head over heels for him because I won't lie to you he is pretty hot, but, he didn't pay any attention to them eventhough they were practically throwing themselves at him. He just sat on the couch and moped, he look devastated. Then after awhile I don't know what really happened but Luke and this senior who already graduated before you arrive got into a fight causing Ashton to jump in and stop them. Luke was so drunk so I told Ashton to carry him to my room for him to sober up and Ashton swore that he didn't notice that Luke was still holding a bottle of jack or was it vodka? I don't know anyways, Ashton turned his back for a sec and then when he got back Luke already smashed the liquor on the floor and lighted it up. I know it was crazy, the fire wasn't big though but it was enough for the student council to know about it and making Amber pissed as hell" She exclaimed,

What the hell? I don't know what to say, it doesn't sound like Luke would do such a thing. It doesn't make any sense. How does he know Ashton? and if Calum wasn't part of that fraternity before then how did Luke and Ashton became friends? I know Calum because I've met him before but I didn't even know that he goes here. Questions kept flooding in my head, everything doesn't make any sense!

How did I end up here?

"And t-then?" I know that I shouldn't ask more but Amanda's here to tell anything she knows, I should take advantage of it even if my heart can't take it.

"Well, Luke wasnt a college student, he doesn't even go here. He just came to visit. So, when he met the school chancellor, Ashton told me that Luke needs to pay for what he has done, Luke applied for college here a month before that happened so the board decided to accept him instead of expelling him or not accepting him here, I think they made him sign a contract and he's under probation. I don't really know what happened and whatever its his problem anyway, its a good thing he's paying for the renovation happening here. He's brave though, for owning everything up, he could've just ran or left but he didn't, he stayed until shit came down and he was almost arrested, it was a big scene and caused the whole party to be trashed. He ruined the party."

I sat there like an utter idiot not knowing how to react.

"Wait, have you known Luke?" She asks,

Shit.

"I uh-I mean we were practically classmates before"

"Oh that sums it up! That's why he cares so much about you, you guys are friends?" Her eyes brighten up,

"No. Not really, I don't know. I kind of dated his brother"

"What? seriously?"

"His twin actually" I flushed,

"Oh my god what?!!!" He shrieked,

This keeps getting better and better my inner me irritates me again.

"Yeah, I know. But we already broke up. I mean Lucas and I, Luke's twin."

"For how long?"

"4 months? 5 months?" I'm not really sure,

"That's okay, I have a feeling that Luke likes you!" She blurted,

"What? No!"

"Do you like him?"

Gymnastics, its Thursday and I have gymnastics in 10 minutes. I'm wearing this black yoga pants and a gray sports bra with my hair tied into a bun and my red Nike running shoes. I don't even know why I wore this sports bra, I am so pissed that all of my oversized shirts are I the laundry and this is really a wrong timing for me, I asked Amanda if she has any shirts..large shirts that I could wear but she doesn't, she only has all the shades of pink sports bra and sports shorts.

I didn't have a choice so I just wore a hoodie to cover my body, I'm so insecure, how can I not be? my room mate is a Malibu barbie! I think I have every little right to be ashamed.

Just when I'm about to go to the gym locker to drop my things I felt a tap on my shoulder,

"Hey!" Calum beams,

"Hey!" I smiled, placing my things in the locker and not forgetting to grab my small body towel and water tumbler,

"You're a girl scout, aren't you?" He teases as he place all his things in the empty locker beside mine, "Who knew we will have the same class?"

"Wait, aren't you a freshmen?" I asked, confused.

"I didn't take this class last year" He shrugs as we make our way to join our classmates who are already gathered up into a big circle by our gymnastics teacher.
