Lilac's p.o.v

---------------------------------------------

As I walk into class, I notice that the new boy  has took my seat for the second time since school started.  The first time, of course I wasn't upset about it, and I let it slide. But it's Monday, and I'm already pissed off about the fact my sister took the bathroom for like 45 minutes, making me almost late. It seems like he doesn't care which bothers me a little bit.

I approach Luke slowly. "Your name is Luke, right? I say sweetly, to avoid sounding like a total bitch.

Luke hesitates for a second with a small smirk and answers.. " That would be me."

He shifts in his seat- my seat, as if he has focused his attention on me.  His smirk lightens a bit as he speaks, with an australian accent that flows perfectly with every word.

"Oh well , um " I stutter a bit.

"I'll get out of your seat, hun." he says with a flirtatious attitude.

"Thanks" I sigh.

As I sit down in the seat he had just been in, he walks away towards another row of desks. I settle in my seat and take out some paper for notes, my binder, and a pencil. In the corner of my eye, I see someone approaching me from behind.

I turn to see Luke awkwardly dodging desks to make his way back over to me. When he finally makes his way up the row to me, he speaks quietly.

"I forgot to ask, whats your name"

"Lilac." I say with an accidental bitchy attitude.

Luke nods and once again, walks away.

Great, it's his 2nd week at this school and you've already made yourself seem like a total bitch. I think to myself.

Mr. Monroe walks into the room with a sharp blue suit and tie. "Good morning class" he says as he puts his briefcase down on his desk.

While he takes attendance I start to doodle until my friends show up to class late like they always are and always will be. Kirsten sashay's into the classroom giving Luke a quick look and makes her way to the seat next to me.

"Heyyyy" she says with sass.

I laugh and continue to doodle as she pulls out her phone to scroll through instagram. Kirsten had always been able to make me laugh, no matter what she had said or done. But she wasn't exactly what you call a perfect bestfriend. If you couldn't already tell, she disobeys rules, sometimes. We met when we were in 5th grade, and argue very frequently but I stick by her side, cause I'm the best thing she has. I'm the only one who is there to tell her not to do something stupid.

For example, when she winked at Luke all I could think in my head was "You have a boyfriend, wtf are you doing" But I keep that stuff to myself because she couldn't care less about what anyone has to say about her love life.

Mr. Monroe finishes taking attendance, and begins his bunch of questions about our weekends.

"So" he claps his hands, "Tell me about your weekends everybody!"

Everyone looks around the room, waiting for someone to raise their hand, but no one does.

"Lilac!" he exclaims. "Tell us about your weekend"

Great. Now I have to talk in front of the whole class -.-

"Well, Mr. Monroe, lets see" I say, trying to remember my weekend. "I read 4 books, got some new neighbors, and walked around the mall for about 6 hours."

" Are the new neighbors friendly?" he asks.

"Haven't met em' yet" I remark.

Mr. Monroe moves on to the next victim.

As I pretend to pay attention with my occasional nods and smiles, I think about Luke's blue eyes and his accent. I catch myself as I start to drift into a daydream, when suddenly Mr. Monroe calls on another student to share.

"Luke! Come on buddy, tell us about your weekend!" he pleads.

Luke throws his head back, and I can't help but notice his jawline, so defined, and very much attractive.

"I rode my skateboard and moved into my new house, Mr. Monroe." Luke replies with pride.

WHAT.

Luke turns and shoots me a smile, as I purposely smack my hand to my face, wondering why shit like this happens to me.

This would mean that I would have to walk home with him, considering my mom doesn't want me walking alone, and she had probably already made bestfriends with Luke's mom.

Although Luke is very attractive, he hasn't made a great first impression on me. It's only his 2nd week of school and he has already managed to get himself detention.

And bad boys, aren't my type.
