Chapter 40: Party?

*Luke's POV*

~Friday~

I was sat in my last class. The last class until Fall break.

"So remember, your report is due..."

My teacher's voice drifted away from my mind slowly as I focused on the clock on the wall. 1:55. 5 more minutes, Hemmings.

I looked around the room, not wanting to look at the arms tick and tock slowly around the clock. It would take forever.

Brooklyn's eye caught mine. I rolled my eyes at her before looking away and to a dude with hella nice hair in the seat across from mine. She was always sneaking glances at me.

"So by December 13th, all of you should have turned in your reports in the basket near..."

4 minutes.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket quietly, tapping on the contacts icon.

To: Bec ❤️ : 4 more min! Can't wait to cya 2nite xx

Send.

3 minutes.

"Luke." someone whispered. I looked up from my phone to see a guy turned around in his seat. Conrad McMurry.

"What's up." I nodded.

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my party tonight."

"Uh... I actually kinda have something to do." I looked down at my phone again, seeing Rebecca's beautiful face.

"Well maybe you can stop by after?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Why would you want me to come to your party first of all?"

"Cause you're friends with Claire, right?"

"And...?" I raises an eyebrow.

"She's hot! She has to come."

"Sorry, but no. She's too young and innocent for drunk people grinding on each other and getting it on on the kitchen counter." I smirked.

"C'mon. She's the same age as you." he gestures toward me.

"She has a boyfriend you know."

"So?"

"So, she won't be coming."

"What are you? Her dad?"

"No. That's Ashton's job." I winked. And with that the bell rang. I got up and collected my things.

"At least tell her about it. You can bring Column or whatever his name is, and some other friends."

"I'll tell her." I nodded.

"Great. Thanks, man." he said while he got up from his seat.

"But keep in mind."

"What?"

"She has a boyfriend!" I sing-songed, walking out the doorway.

*Claire's POV*

"OMIGOD finally!" I screamed, grabbing Chloe's arm and rushing out the door.

"We have to wait for Cal and Ash!" she laughed, turning back towards the door.

"Are you guys dating yet?" I asked her, smiling slightly.

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that." she smiled back.

"You are?"

She nodded excitedly. "He asked me on Monday."

"Why didn't you tell me?!" I said excitedly.
