Elise's POV

*1 Month Later*

I flattened out my skirt in the back and looked down to my feet to make sure that my shoes were still tied. I then made sure that I didn't rip my tights and moved my braclet so that it was now on my wrist and not up on my arm. I then knocked on Luke's classroom door and then opened it and walked in. I took a seat at his desk next to him and we both smiled and got to work.

After we made the pitch for homecoming, and Mrs. Tates loved it, she also told us that it was a bit above our budget. So Luke and I came up with a fundraiser, which was just washing cars and selling cookies, and got enough money. 

I still go to his room everyday during lunch to help make posters and to help him order what we need for the amazing night. It's only one week away now. 

This past month has been fun yet sad. This is my last year here and it's sad to think that I'll be leaving in just seven to eight months. We had a sneior dance and I just went with my friends. Demetri hung out with us and all of my friends really like him. I even think that Sky may have a crush on him. But I don't think she'll ever admit it. 

All of my friends think that I have a crush on Luke though. And whenever they bring it up all I can think is, "If they only knew..."

Jocelyn says that I'm to good to ever like or go out with a teacher and that's why I won't make a move. 

She's half right. 

I'm to good to go out with my teacher but I'm not to good to like him. 

It took me a while to realize that I was falling for him all over again.

At first I was indenial about it. I couldn't believe my thoughts. But, eventually, I caved in and accepted the fact that I loved him and probably always have and will. It's just that I was too stubborn to see the obvious. 

As much as I would love to be with him. I can't. He still is my teacher. But I do have the hope of being with him maybe after I graduate. 

"Elise," I hear Luke break me from my thoughts. 

"Yeah?"

"So, the orders aren't coming until after school so we're all going to set up then. You're going to come too, right?" 

"Yeah. I'll be there," I smile back. 

"Well, why don't you go to lunch and eat since there's nothing to do here today?"

"Oh, yeah sure. I'll see you later then," I say, trying to hide my disapoitment and also gathering my bag to leave. 

"Alright, see you," he says.

I couldn't help but to feel like I was being brushed off or something.

As I walking in the hallway back to the cafeteria, I saw Demetri come out of a closet. His back was faced to me and so I tapped his shoulder and then he spinned around, surprised to see me. 

"Oh, hey Elise."

"Yeah, hi. Um, what were yu doing in there and also looking so suspicious?"

"Oh, I had to find something for a teacher," he speaks, and as he does, Ican smell smoke from him talking. 

"Oh my gosh, were you smoking?"

"What? No."

"Don't lie to me Demetrius." Whenever I say his full name he knows that he's in trouble because I'm mad at him. 

"Look, fine. okay? I was smoking. But it wasn't weed or anything so don't worry."

"Why were you smoking?"

"Because Science is boring as fuck and they don't allow us outside during periods. So I had to resort to a closet," he says like it's nothing.

"Oh ok. I understand now," I reply back, being sarcastic. 

"Anyway, what are you  doing? Shouldn't you be with Hemmings working on the homecoming shit?"

"First of all, we don't have anything to work on today so I'm going to eat lunch with my friends and second of all, it's not just some shit. It's something that I, your best friend has been working on for a while now."

"Well then, you might be upset to hear this but, I'm not going."

"What?!?!"

"What? I have no one to take and I can't dance. I'm just going to go to this big party that one of the football guys is having. Everyone's invited."

"Well, you have fun at your jock party ans I'll have fun at my 20's party," I say and then walk off. 

I can't believe that he's not coming. He know's how much work that I've put into this. And yet, he's going to be stubborn about this. So much for being a best friend.

*Hours Later*

I park right in front of my house and step out of the car, flattening my skirt again. I walk up the driveway and take a deep breath before opening the door. 

Everything including my social life and school have been amazing and fun this past month, exceptt for my home life. 

My parents have been arguing a lot. More than they ever have really. 

I can tell that my brother and sister are getting worried and I always tell them that they are being ridiculous and not to worry at all. But to be honest, I'm starting to get worried too. 

They just don't get along at all together anymore. 

So now, I just try to avoid everyone. 

I open the door and scream hi and then just go upstairs and into my room. 

This is my home life now and I actually hate it. 

A/N: So sorry that this is really crappy :( It's kind of just a filler really. I have a holiday next weekend where I have to fast so I won't be able to update probably. Maybe sunday but I doubt it. Also, this book is coming to an end... :( Maybe about 3-5 more chapters left. But there will be a sequel :) I don't know what it's gonna be called yet but I'll figure it out soon...sometime between the next chapter and the one after that. 

Thanks for 40k reads!!!!!!!
