7 - In Trouble & Meant To Be

“We’re doing a road trip in this week we have free,” Luke informed me and I nodded in understanding. “There is this open concert thing in a nearby city.” The week of vacation we got, a much needed time for most of us the students. The perfect time for me to do some reading and listen to music in the cocoon of my room. Ah, I could picture it all perfectly already. I was going to buy a huge box of tea later today.

It did hurt me, though, that Luke was leaving on a road trip and had not even bothered on inviting me. I suppose he was not interested on going out with me after the embarrassment I got him through the other day in the yacht party. He had been very nice and shown support all the way through, but I wondered if he was only pretending so that no one around us stared at us more than necessary.

It had been an eventful evening, with some rich boys trying to get into my pants, well my dress. Luke had scared them off for me, thankfully. The only way I could reject people was by blushing profusely and keeping silent while bobbing my head. Needless to say, they did not get the picture and it was only much more awkward and uncomfortable for me. But, Luke did know me well, so once he understood that I was uncomfortable, he excused both of us and took us somewhere else.

“Good for you,” I told him with reluctance, not sure why he was telling me. I still had a headache from the mess the day at the yacht had been. I blinked repeatedly, trying to pretend as if I was really busy inside my locker.

“Good for you?” Luke echoed with a look of disbelief. “I thought you would be more excited…” his voice sounded almost reproachful, and since I was not in the mood to follow him around today, I raised an eyebrow.

“Why would I be more excited over you going on a road trip with your bandmates?” I asked him as I put the heavy physics book back into my locker. Gosh, that class surely knew how to confuse me. “I need some Physics tutoring, by the way.” He was pretty great at that class, and I just wanted to be alone with him. Whenever we were around people he always managed to get me into some kind of trouble that involved having to speak to strangers or such. I was done with it for the moment.

“Because you’re coming, you dummy.” He draped his arm over my shoulder just as I was closing my locker door and I stumbled. He held me up against him and I fought the urge to kiss him and slap him all at the same time. I was growing tired of loving him so much.

“Don’t call me dummy,” I deadpanned as I rolled my eyes. I got my glasses off since we were going to lunch already. The hallway was empty already, with all of the hungry teenagers already mobbing the cafeteria. I liked the peacefulness of an empty hallway. That was why I took my time to get out of class and go to my locker. Luke had caught me by surprise today, waiting me by my locker.

“Why, dummy?” he pressed on. There was a smug smirk on his lip and I slapped his chest in protest.

“Leave me alone,” I demanded. He would have taken me seriously if I had not been giggling when I said it.

He pinched my side and I gaped at him. “Luke!” I shrieked. “Stop it!” I whined next as I wriggled away from his grasp. I managed to take a few steps back before he was right in front of me once again. He had a mischievous grin across his gorgeous features and I held my breath, cursing how weak I was around him.

He took another step towards me and I cowardly took a step back. I whimpered when I felt my back colliding against something I later found out to be the lockers. I gulped nervously as I looked up to him. I was trapped. He pressed himself against me and I raised my hands right away, them being the only thing that set us apart. My body was fighting against it, though, wanting to have him as close to me as possible. I kept trying to remind it that it was not okay. It was wrong to want him so close. It was wrong.
