Andrea

(two weeks later)

I havnt heard a word about Luke ever since we left. His mother was waiting at the airport the day we got back.

She said she was taking Luke to a family friend who is a doctor in Melbourne. I barely had enough time to slip in one question and that was "when are you back?" and the answer I for was not even an answer. "soon".

As far as I know "soon" hasn't happened for the past two weeks. Buy school has happened. One and a half weeks of torture so far. School is hell with no Luke. No Luke who would always volunteer to read Romeo's part when we do the play at school. No Luke to make me put my hand up to be Juliet. No Luke to tell me he loves me. No Luke to piss off every teacher except his music teacher. No Luke to snap at Lana for being a bitch to me. No Luke.

No Luke.

The realisation of this harsh truth would have been painfully if I wasn't still so numb. 

I haven't spoken much because everything somehow turns to be about Luke, making it hard to forget him.

But I know deep down I would never be able to forget him, under any circumstances.

"Okay class, everyone quiet! take out Romeo and Juliet and your Summary on Act 4, Scene 1 an that includes you too Mr. Irwin" The sound of my English teacher snaps me out of my thoughts.

I bent down and get my books from my bag.

"Ashton, would you read your__"

Mrs. Hedge was interrupted by a knock on the door. She sets her book down on her table and walks to the door with a frown on her face. She hates it when people interrupt her class. Which is one of the reasons why Ashton deliberately try to annoy her."it's funny" he would say.

Mrs. Hedge's frown turns into a huge disguisting smile as she sees who is outside the door. I can just guess who it is.

Mr. Parker, our principal steps in and greets our class.He is old and makes people nervous to be around him. I be talked to him a couple of times and he made me so damn nervous I had to dig my nails into my palm to stop me from trying to run away.

"I would like to welcome back Mr. Hemmings." he says looking outside the door, where I can't see.

"I hope you all act responsible" he says. Luke walks in the door looking perfectly fine and he looks just like my Luke. Even if he might have changed a bit. Just the sight of him makes my heart jump. With what emotion? I don't know. 

"Ms. Greene may I have a word?" Mr. Parker asks looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

I nod and get up from my seat and follow Mr.Parker outside.

Nerves. Shit. Fuck. He wants to talk to me. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"How are you? uhh..aa __"He struggles for my name so I hep him out."Andrea".

"Yes, Andrea, How are you?"

"Fine" Shit. Nerves.

"well lets get straight to business, you understand that Mr. Hemmings is suffering from amnesia by some unknown cause?"

I nod.

" I have heard that you and Mr.Hemmings were very close. so I was wondering if you would mind showing him around and helping him out a bit. I believe that you have every class together except French but that has neen taken care of." He goes on.

what? I can't help Luke! What if I...I mean.. ugh! I can't say no to the principal, can I?

what if I do? it's my choice, right?  " I m sorry sir, I can't do that"
