A/N: this has nothing to do with this chapter.....but like fuck Luke's lip bite gives me feels

{Sage's POV}

Ever since my first date with Luke he's seems to always be around. It's not like I mind, but I feel bad when he comes over and just has to wait around for me to finish classes. And I only had a short break in between each one.

Due to me not being 18, I also have to take "real classes" which is just their way of saying 'you don't get out of normal school work'. So Luke and I were sat on the couch in the common room, both trying to figure out significant figures. Luke was not catching on.

"Wait so why does 101 have three but 110 only has two?" Luke asks rubbing his forehead in confusion.

"The zero in 110 is just a place holder so it doesn't count. But the zero in 101 is stuck in between so it does count." I say. It's like I'm explaining this to a small child.

"Fuck sig figs. I think we should do something else." Luke smirks.

"I can't make out right now Luke, I have to do this or I won't be allowed to dance tomorrow." I sigh. Another thing that's happened since that date was that Luke and I make out, quite often.

"Your no fun!" Luke pouts. Once again resembling a small child. "When is your birthday again?" He asks changing the subject.

"Like five weeks ago." I mumble.

"What! Your birthday passed while I knew you and we didn't even celebrate it?" Luke asks with wide eyes and I shrug.

"I turned seventeen, that's not that exciting. And you weren't speaking to me." I say quietly. Almost ashamed.

"What do you mean I wasn't- oh! It was during those three weeks I was mad over nothing?" He asks and I nod. He smiles sheepishly, "now I feel bad because you spent your birthday thinking I was mad at you."

"It's really not a big deal Luke." I sigh.

"Yes it is. How about I take you out for your birthday?" He asks getting very excited.

"Sounds good to me. What will we be doing?" I ask and Luke shakes his head.

"Not telling. Just wear a swimsuit babe. And meet me at my house at 6." He winks before changing the subject. I tune him out while finishing my chemistry work.

After Luke went home, Josh and Matty appeared and started talking to me about Luke. Sadly, Poppy was spending the week at home because a family member was getting married. So the boys were harassing me. They told me I should date him. To which I said was too risky of an option. Don't get me wrong, Luke is amazing, I just am concerned as to what will happen if I let my guard down.

It was the start of the very last class on Saturday. We were practicing lifts, but today we were switching partners. Mrs. Hood said that as a professional, we may not always have the same partner. I got re-partnered with a very small kid named Carson.

We were running and jumping into out partners arms and they were suppose to spin and I guess it looks really cool. I'm a little nervous, it's not like I didn't trust Carson, I just was scared of getting dropped.

We are waiting in groups and before I know it my group is spreading out in the center to practice. We go through it once to mark it and make sure we know the exact places to be and go. Mrs. Hood starts the music and we all start dancing as well. Before I know it it's time for the big lift. I run across the space and jump sideways. I wait for the strong feeling of arms to grab me- but they never come.
