Scarlett....

"How! How are you two a couple now?" Jess says confused.

"Is it that weird? Luke asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes."

"It is weird when you keep it a secret from your bestfriends for 3 weeks."

"I didn't keep it a secret. No chance came so I can tell you." I say but Emily shakes her head "Scar! You are a bitch."

"Yes, Scar. You are a bitch." Jess repeats frustrated.

"Guys! Calm down. You now know that we are a couple. So fuck off."

"I don't like this." Emily mutters but I hear her "You don't like what Emily?" I say and Emily scoffs "I once warned you and here you are, so happy with rainbows and unicorns."

"Emily! Shut the fuck up!" Jess screams in her face "Haven't you seen his hair bun and his six packs." I burst out laughing as Jess daydreams about Luke but realization hits me "Wait! Hold on a second! How did you see his six packs, Jess?" I ask her with curiosity. Jess covers her mouth in embarrassment.

"Ooops!" She says under her breath while Emily and I smile devilishly at her. I give Jess a death glare. She clears her throat and innocently says "Don't forget that he was my crush once upon a time."

"I sense that someone is going to steal my boyfriend." I laugh it off and we all start laughing after.

"Scarlett." Luke calls out from behind me while wrapping his arms around my waist. He rests his head on my shoulder. "I missed you baby." He says as he leaves a sweet kiss on my neck. A sense of shiver runs down my spine when his mouth makes contact with my bare skin. "I missed you too." I say.

"Too much romance for one person." Jessica says with a disgusted look. Luke lets out a soft giggle and my heart just melts. I was never like this. I have never been attracted to anyone like I am now. I never really daydreamed about someone's smile or giggle. That's something new. Something I find myself happy while doing it. All those feelings make me feel complete. They make me feel good about myself and they help me sleep at night. They even keep away my nightmares. So instead of having nightmares, I have dreams of Luke and I together. That's how much effect Luke has on me.

"Scar!" Luke whispers in my ear.

"Yeah?" I say.

"Wanna go out for lunch now?" He says and I jump off from his arms "McDonald's?" I scream at him. He opens his mouth in shock. Emily and Jessica both look at me like I am some weirdo maybe. Luke runs his hand on the back of his neck while saying quietly "I swear she wasn't that crazy when we first met." I nudge his shoulder playfully "You said it. You make me crazy." He smirks at me then takes my hand and lock our fingers together "Excuse us guys but I am gonna take my crazy girl to McDonald's." I shrug my shoulders. Jessica raises her eyebrows and whispers to Emily "His crazy girl and here we are singles."

"I heard you girls." I wink at them before Luke takes my hand and we get out of school. He opens the car door for me "Here you go, Ma lady." He says bowing. I put my hand on his cheek, caressing it "You are the perfect boyfriend material." He smiles at me, sweetness erupting from his eyes "I am glad."
