Luke had been totally shaping up his act, he wasn't smoking pot obsessively, he didn't sleep with girls (aka burying his depression into their crusty ass vaginas) and he had made sure that alcohol wasn't meant to be drunk like water.
Luke thought that he had finally accomplished something and it wasn't until now that he felt so proud of himself. His image hadn't changed up though people still saw him a as a loser but that was ok to him as long as he knew on the inside he had changed.
Luke was walking back to his dorm after a long night of studying. He always felt safe, no one ever wanted to mess with him. But Luke had a bit of drinks tonight since he was with Laila. Two guys approach him an stop him.
"Got any weed man?" one stranger asks
"Nah man all out for a long time" Luke replies
"You sure?" the stranger asks
"Yeah sorry I haven't been smoking as much i can set you up-"
"I didn't want to have to get physical" the other one says as he cracks his knuckles
Luke knew he could take on both of these guys. He wasn't setting his mind straight though should he beat them up, what will happen.
Luke threw a good punch at one of the men and hit him straight back. Luke managed to lift the guy up wth one hand from the tshirt and the other guy ran off scared.
He dropped the kid with one hand and said "You speak one word and you are dead"
"Him sir" the stranger says
"Hemmings get your ass in my office" the head master yells

"Look Luke you seem like a good guy but I just can't believe your story"
"I screwed up I get it but you have to understand, yes I used to have weed but these guys threatened me I barely was protecting myself please understand two guys against me isnt an easy match" Luke explains
"You have files recording previous mishaps"
"I know"
"I like you Luke so one last chance and then your out ok?"
"Thank you so much"
Laila
Change of plans meet at the soccer field at 11 tomorrow we need to talk
Luke
Is something wrong
Laila
I'd prefer to talk tomorrow
Luke
Ok

Luke was worried about what Laila was going to talk about. Did she already know?
She wasn't happy at all, she trusted him and he screwed up.
Luke sat down next to Laila and Laila rested her hand ontop of his hand which comforted him.
"Luke you were going so well" she smiles
He frowns
"You don't understand I-" he starts
"Luke I want to believe you so bad but a story is a story. I don't think you get what my story is though. I am a goodie-two-shoes and you are a bad boy, you like me and I like you but I need to keep my social status high I honestly can't believe I am saying this Luke but I was starting to like you and then you got better and better then beat up a kid. I can't be know for that girl who hangs with that kid who beat someone up."
"Please let me explain. I was walking back to my dorm and they asked me for drugs and I said no I don't have any and then the started getting physical I really shouldn't have hit them but I was drunk and not thinking straight. Laila please don't leave me you are all I have right now. I keep pouring my heart out towards your optimist grin."
"Luke you have one chance, I swear" she says
She rested into his shoulder and he snuggles closer to her, she could literally feel her heart beaming up inside her as she smiled. He kept in humming the lyrics to the 1975.
"In any lyric from the 1975 how would you describe your feeling to me?" he asks
"I'd like to say you've changed but you're always the same" (she way out) she answers
"What about me?" she asks
"You're cold and I burn, I guess I'll never learn" (settle down) he answers
"I think I actually like you" he speaks weirdly
"I think the marijuanas gotten to your brain" she giggles
