"Sorry about that. It's just they're still on edge after the Carver thing..."
I wasn't really paying attention. I allowed myself to zone out, thinking about bright blue eyes. They held a feeling, a emotion. And for the first time ever, I failed to read the message behind them. And for some reason, I began to feel guilty...
"What's on ya mind?" I looked up at Luke. He didn't seem suspicious or anything, just curious.
"Why did we just leave Nick like that?" I heard myself ask. I had no idea how Luke was going to take this...
"Look, Nick is a good guy. I just don't trust him to tie his own shoes at the moment, that's all. Anyway three's a crowd. Don't you think?"
"A 'good guy'? Luke he's your best friend. Not just random guy..."
"No, no. I didn't mean it like that!" He protested. "What I meant was... Nick has been through a lot in his life. And yes, sometimes he gets a bit 'aggro' sometimes but he doesn't mean it. Really."
I guess that explained why Nick wanted us to stay...
"So, where are we going?" I asked Luke, wanting to steer the conversation on safer ground.
Luke smiled a bit. "You'll see."

"The bike shed? Luke, really?!"
Luke chuckled a bit. "Not exactly a 5 star hotel is it?"
"Well what are doing here then?"
Luke leaning in pressing his lips against mine. "Something like this..."
I took a breath (out of shock). "Um, okay then. We'll take it slow, if that's what you -"
I cut him off by giving him a full on kiss. I could feel Luke's smile form on my mouth.His lips tasted of cold cherry juice, and along with the softness it felt like pure heaven. I closed my eyes and allowed my other senses to take it over. And slowly, I began to forget where I was. All that mattered was Luke and I against the world. But it all ended too soon, as quickly as it had began.
"Luke..."
"Ash..."
But we were cut off by the bell.
Luke kissed him thumb and pressed it on my lip. He leaned dangerously close before saying, "See you later beautiful..."

- psychology-
I've never really seen the point in psychology; you get hurt and then what? No amount of therapy can help that. And this is coming from someone who went for 6 months. I didn't gain anything. I just sat there, while some old woman asked me dumb questions. I wasn't stupid. She wasn't there to help me. She was doing her job, and getting paid in the process. The word 'concerned' doesn't spring to mind when describing her.
"What do you think, Ash?" I heard a voice say.
"Huh?"
"About love, what's your opinion on it?"
Oh I forgot to mention, Nick was in my psychology class, although I hadn't decided whether that was good thing or not.
"It's amazing, Nick, it really is. And when you find the right person, you somehow just connect, and it feels magical. Nothing else matters. You just close your eyes and let your senses take over..."
Nick just stared at me. "How would you know?"
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked him, obviously referring to Luke.
"Wait... You and Luke are together?" He asked. He seemed... upset? I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"Yeah." I was beginning to become afraid of his reaction.
"Oh. Well, I hope it works out, for your sake anyway..."
"What do you mean by that?"
Nick looked away. "I've said too much..."
"No, what do mean by that?"
"Just forget it, okay?"
What the hell did he mean, for my own sake?
"Ashley? You still talking to me?"
I ignored him. I don't know what Nick's intentions were, but it seemed as if he was trying to break Luke and I up. That, or he was trying to warm me. But Luke seemed like a nice guy, who wouldn't hurt a woman, I mean, he saved me from Carver, didn't he?
"Look, Luke saved me from Carver and Troy. God knows what would've happened if he didn't come when he did. I could've been raped or dead for all I know, so yeah I'm always gonna feel like I owe him, for saving my life, or from serious harm at least."
Nick gave a serious look. "Oh god. Don't tell me you're only going out with him, because you owe him."
I opened my mouth from pure shock. "It's not like that!" I protested. "I like him for who he is, and he cares about me! He really does."
Nick rolled his eyes before saying, "yeah, he cares about everyone."
"What is your problem?!"
"You don't him as well as I do..."
"Well, since we're dating, I'll get to know him, won't I?"
"Funny how I found this out from you. Shouldn't Luke tell me first? Or does he not see it that way..."
"Nick, I'm warning you.."
"The fuck you are. Fine, why should I care? Oh wait I shouldn't, almost forgot that."
I just wanna....

I ended up walking home with Bonnie. She didn't really have much to hide from me, since, I, y'know but I didn't really want to discuss that with her. I had something else on my mind...
"What happened with you and Luke?"
Bonnie's mood began to slip off her face, but she quickly recovered. "Luke has a pretty amazing ability to move on. Problem is, not all of us have that skill."
"Oh."
"Why, you guys dating?"
"Um..."
"Going slow or not sure?" Bonnie laughed a bit. "Don't worry, it will work out for itself. Let's hope you have more Luke than I did..."
Wait what?
"Anyway, see you tomorrow."My mind was too busy trying to process what Bonnie meant. By the time I got my head round it, I wanted to ask her, but she was already half-way down the road, waved at me, and turned the corner.
