Authors note: sorry for not updating in so long I went away with family and sadly didn't have any wifi, so to make up for it I promise to try to make this a great/ drama filled chapter. Anyway I hope you all had a good thanksgiving and enjoy the chapter! Lastly, I'm changing the name of the story but I feel like it would be easier for new readers to find.

Luke P.o.v
"Oh nothing"I don't think he believed me by the way he shook his head after I said that but, he didn't think too far into it because he started the class.

"Hello everyone, if you didn't already know I am Mr. Flint and I will be your social studies teacher this year. I will try to hurry up with the whole first day of school routine, you guys know what I mean, because not only is it boring for you but it is even more boring for me, so I have other stuff planed once that is done."

Mr. Flint started to get through the boring stuff and I may or may not have zoned out because all I can think about is Anna and how much she probably hates me right now because I started a stupid fight. Thank god Mr. Flint walked in after the fight because he would probably look at me different since he always tells me how I am such a good kid and how he is glad I am friends with Delilah.

I still can't believe I did that, I've never even gotten into a fight before. I could tell Calum has, he can throw a pretty hard punch, the punch he threw at my jaw hurt the most, it's already bruising.

Once he was done with the overused first day of school speech Mr. Flint said,

"Okay class we have about thirty five minuets of class left and I want you to make a poster, with a partner, about what you learned in social studies last year, you will present in class tomorrow, with your partner, and to save time I will just pass out a paper that has all of the requirements on it."

Shit, I hope he assigns partners because i'm only friends with Anna, everyone else is just an acquaintance, and she will probably pick Calum because he didn't start the fight, I did.

"Are we picking partners?" Yelled some kid from the back that I've never seen before.

"Yes, I don't believe in assigning partners because people don't work or usually don't participate unless they are with their friends so there is no point. So everyone everyone find a partner and get to work!"

Of course.

Everyone started shuffling finding a partner and I ran over to Anna hoping to get to her before Calum could say anything.

"Oh by the way this class has an odd number so there will be one group of three."said Mr. Flint just as I got to Anna.

"Hey Anna wanna work together?" I said almost out of breath, wow I gotta work out more jeez.

"Um I'm working with Calum but I think we can be the group of three." What was I thinking Calum obviously got to her first.

"Yeah I guess" I said as I pulled an empty desk up next to them. We were in a triangular shape so Anna was next to Calum and I was in front of them.

"Ok guys I'm still mad at both of you so just make up so we can do this assignment, and it won't be weird when we go to the carnival later." Anna said.

"We're going to the carnival later?" Calum said sounding confused

"Oh did I forget to tell you? Damn it, well at lunch my group of friends planned to go to the carnival later because two of them were away for the summer, and since I'm hanging out with you later they said you can come."

"Oh um okay I was kinda hoping you know we could like catch up but I guess the carnival is cool" Calum said almost in a whisper.

What did he mean catch up, have they know each other for a while, did something happen while I was gone, I really hope not because I still don't like Calum. But I guess I have to be friends with him for Anna.

"We're not going to the carnival until like six so we can hang out before then."

Are they really talking about their plans right in front of me, ugh I literally just confessed my love to Anna and she's probably falling for Calum right in front of me.

"Ok whatever we should start" Calum said almost like he was annoyed.

"I agree" I said actually trying to be friends with Calum if it mean't that Anna would fall for me the way I fell for her.

"Whoa you guys agree on something, I think this is the beginning of a good friendship"

Every time she talks I get lost in her beautiful blue eyes, and her long perfect blonde hair that stops just above her hips and her freckles are probably the cutest things on the planet. No stop Luke, focus,we have an assignment to do.

Calum P.o.v
"Yeah maybe" I state trying to not show emotion because I actually really hate Luke, I am not really sure why but I think it's because he's so protective over Anna and feels as if he needs to be there for her all the time not allowing anyone else to help her. A perfect example is earlier when he actually had the audacity to tell me to move because he needed to be next to her.

If it makes Anna happy then I guess I will try and be his friend.

"Ok we have wasted enough time with all this apologizing and making up so let's get started" Anna said excitedly as she started to read the directions and requirements off of the paper we got just a few minuets before.

Wow, when she was reading I realized how beautiful she became in all of these years we have been apart, I never thought I would look at her this way, when we were little I used to think of her as "one of the guys" but now, it's different.

No, no I can't start to like her, it can't happen, she knows too much about my past, she knows to much about me. She probably can't, or doesn't want to like me because she knows what I did, I was one stupid decision that ruined everything and she's the only person, that I know of, that knows what happened. And because of that one stupid decision the one person I could possibly ever fall in love with probably won't love me back because she is scared of me.

Authors note: the title is referring to like the love triangle between Luke, Calum, and Anna, not the desk formation. I just wanted to say that I case anyone was confused. And sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes I reread my chapters a few times but I always miss a few. Also I'm sorry I'm really sorry I tried to make this drama filled but it's kinda hard to make a social studies class drama filled so I added some into the end. Next chapter will be better I promise.
