~Luke~

Next thing I know I turn over and the bed is empty. I slightly open my eyes and look at my room only to find Feya getting dressed.

I contemplated on whether I should talk to her or not and I chose not to. It will be easier that way and since she's leaving that means no awkward morning for both of us.

So I simply waited till she left and then got up; heading towards the bathroom.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Uh...make it quick" she said and looked at the watch on her wrist and then in her locker; furiously looking for something.

"Are you avoiding me or something?" I abruptly asked. I don't know why I even asked that. I mean I didn't want to ask her that. I think...

"Why would I avoid you?" she asked, laughing.

"I don't know since after Michael's party...after that night it seems like you do"

"Get over yourself Luke. I just have a ton of exams this week. No big." she said chuckling. And here I thought it had something to do with Friday night.

"So..."

"Look, Friday night I needed sex. I know you don't really say no to sex. I just needed a night that's all. It doesn't count for the bet and it means nothing" she said in a serious tone probably to make sure I wouldn't freak out. I let out a relieved sigh and smiled. This could have been awkward really fast and really easy.

"Alright. About tutoring. I can't tonight" I said and she pouted. Her shoulders fell in disappointment and she huffed.

"Don't bail on me when I just start to understand two things" she whined and nudged my shoulder. After she got the books she needed we started walking together to English class.

"I'm not bailing. We have practice. I don't know, Michael says it's a big thing because we're a band again as well as friends or whatever" I explained and she laughed.

"Michael tends to make everything seem like a scene from a movie" she said while nodding her head agreeing to what I had said.

"So yeah after school we have practice so..." I trailed off and Feya nodded in understatement.

"How about after practice? You can stay for dinner. I'm sure Liz won't mind" she said. Wait what?

"Liz?"

"Yes. The woman who lives at your house and gave birth to you" she said in a suggestive tone like I was stupid.

"Yeah I know who my mum is" I said and playfully slapped her forehead. I then quickly walked in the class to avoid any sort of attempt to hit me. When Feya walked in the class a minute later she was rubbing her forehead. Placing her books on her desk she flipped me off right before Mrs White came in the class.

"Hello kids. How is the project going? Mr Hemmings?"

"Perfect! Just reading about a boring girl falling for a weird guy" I mumbled. I saw Feya gasp from the corner of my eye and Mrs White took some time to answer me back.

"That's a really different way to describe the book"

"I'm sorry guys, I really am" Calum said for the millionth time this afternoon.

"Yeah whatever, Love struck boy" Ash said and laughed while raffling Calum's hair. Calum didn't say anything back. He just simply smiled. While Michael and Ashton decided to start playing video games Calum came and sat next to me on Michael's basement couch.
