prologue

i wake up to the sound of my alarm screaming in my ear. i gently press the snooze button so i can sleep for five more minutes. but not even 30 seconds after falling back asleep, i hear my mom yell, "luke! don't you dare go back to sleep! i know when my own child doesn't get up!"

or maybe it's because my bed squeaks when i get up, and she didn't hear it squeak.

i slowly get up and walk downstairs. "honey, the bus will be here in 20 minutes, just please hurry and look decent for me." my mom said.

"mom, i always look decent." i say as i run back upstairs. i pick out the usual; black jeans, green day shirt, and black vans.

soon enough, the bus was honking. so i sprinted down the steps and out the door before my mother could say anything.

i'm the third person to get on the bus, so i'm usually just sitting alone for a good 20 minutes because my friend, calum, is the last one to get on the bus.

about 15 minutes after i got on, my earphones were yanked out of my ear, "hey baby" is all i hear then i feel a soft kiss to my lips.

"hey sofi" i say, trying to act happy. sofi is my girlfriend. i'm not too fond of her, she's not too fond of me. our relationship is just makeouts and sex. that's all she wants from me. i have tried telling her that i'm gay, but it never works.

"what are you listening to?" she says while taking my phone out of my hands. "ew, why do you always listen to these stupid bands? they are awful."

thankfully, calum got on. "sofi, get out of my seat, this is the only time i see luke."

sofi gets up to the seat across from us while glaring at calum. "thanks dude, she was calling blink awful again." i whispered.

"you guys shouldn't be talking while there are problems on the board that you all should be doing." our math teacher, mrs. lewis, yelled at us. she always has an attitude at us for no reason at all.

while working on the second problem, i hear the door open and see our assistant principal coming in with a very attractive boy with bright red hair behind him. "hello guys, this is your new classmate, michael clifford." michael waved shyly.

"hi michael, you can sit beside luke. luke, raise your hand so he knows who you are." i slowly raise my hand.

"hey cutie, i'm michael." he smirked at me.

"i know, and i'm luke." i say as i reach my hand out to greet him.

"i know also. what lunch period you have?"

"first."

"well look at that. looks like i have a lunch date with a cutie named luke today." michael said loudly so that the whole class can hear him. my face turned red really fast.

"um mr. clifford, i do not tolerate talking, so please save it for after class." mrs. lewis said.

michael nodded once, then whispered to me, "tell me about yourself, luke."

"i'll save that for our dinner date." i chuckled.
