Promise

Chapter 6

• Friday •

I closed my locker. I turned around to see some random girl. She was glaring right at me. "Umm. Can I help you?" I asked. "I saw you leave with my boyfriend yesterday. I just wanted to make sure you knew who he belongs to," she said. I felt her hand hit my cheek. "What the hell?!" I exclaimed and slapped her back. She was going to hit back but that's when Luke appeared. "Stop," he said.

"Back off my boyfriend, you slut," That girl said. "I don't want your boyfriend. Besides, it's just a few more days until he dumps you."

The girl scoffed and Luke looked at me with a 'I can't believe you just said that' face. I rolled my eyes, grabbed my backpack and went to class.

The bell rung. It was finally lunch. I put all my stuff in my bag. I looked around and groaned. I was always the last one out. I turned around and gasped as I saw Luke right in front of me. "What are you doing h-"

"I can't believe you said that!" He exclaimed. "Well, Believe it," I said, walking around him. He grabbed my arm. "Why are you like this? We were good yesterday. I thought we had decided to be friends on Tuesday!" He said. "Well, I changed my mind!" I said. He stayed quiet as he gave me a shocked face. "What about Middle S-"

"Well, we're in High School now! We were stupid kids back then. We-we made dumb promises."

"Dumb promises? You have no heart! You can't just leave to Ohio for 4 fucking years and then come back and say that everything in Middle School was stupid!" He yelled. "Well...that's what's happening, isn't it?" I said. It was quiet for around 5 seconds.

I turned around. "You should have just stayed in Ohio."

I felt anger rise inside of me. My blood was boiling. I turned back to face him. I slapped him. I slapped him as hard as I could. He put his hand on his cheek and looked at me. I knew I looked like I was about to cry. Suddenly, he grabbed me and quickly pressed his lips on mine. I tried pushing him off, but he was gripping me too hard. I started hitting his chest.

I felt something inside of me blowup. I felt my lips start moving with his. My hands were still placed on his chest. Wow, he was a good kisser.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pushed me against the teacher's desk. "Hey!" I heard. I quickly pushed Luke off of me. I looked to see my 5th period teacher with a container with you hurt inside. "I go for one second and this happens? Take that outside the class guys."

I felt myself turn red. "Sorry, Mr.Adams."

"It's fine. Just try not to make out with your boyfriend in my class, okay?" He said. I blushed and he chuckled, "get outta here, Smith."

I quickly walked out of the room. I heard Luke behind me. "Hey? Hello? I'm still here!"He said. "We shouldn't have done that. We both know that was wrong," I said, turning around to look at him.

"How...was that wrong?" He asked, giving me a slightly confused face. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe you're the school's biggest f-boy?" I said.

"That's a stupid rumor."

"Stupid rumor that's true," I corrected. "Maybe if you never left I would not be like this," he said. "I already told you-"

"That it wasn't your decision. I know. I just kind of wish things would go back to how they were."

I sighed, "things will never go back. We were kids. It was different back in Middle School."

"Okay...can we at least be friends?" He asked. I laughed, "after what just happened? I know your game, Luke. Just because you ran out of girls to fuck with doesn't mean I'm just going to let you fuck with me and then leave. You know me better than that."

"But that's not what I want. I just-I don't know..."

"Exactly. You don't even fucking know what you want. Leave me alone."

I turned around and started walking. "I-I guess I never lost my feelings for you."

I stopped. I felt frozen. My heart was beating, my hands were suddenly soaked with sweat. I repeated his words over and over in my head. I shook my head. Don't be stupid, Leah!

"Great. Keep lying."

"I'm not lying!" He exclaimed. I turned to look at him again. We were standing at least 8 feet apart.
"I'm not stupid, Luke. I can't believe you're really trying to fool me right now. I thought you knew me," I said.

I started walking off again. I felt my arm get grabbed and I was pushed against the lockers. I gasped as I saw Luke's face dangerously close to mine. "I said I'm not fucking lying."

"Let me go," I said. He looked at my lips and then firmly back at my eyes, "make me."

He pressed his lips on mine. I felt myself kiss back. He made it so passionate and deep. I loved every second of it. I put my hand on his cheek. He pulled away as we were both out of breath. He looked me right in the eyes. "I can't believe how gorgeous you are."

I blushed. The bell rung. I shook my head again. No, I can't be this stupid.

I pushed Luke off. "What hap-"

"I have to get to class."

"We have the same 6th period," he stated.

Shit.

I didn't say anything and ran off. I went inside my Chemistry class. "I see you're early today, Ms.Smith."

"Yes, I am. Can I ask for a favor?" I asked my teacher. She looked at me, with attention. "Can I have a new lab partner?" I asked. "Oh, why? Is Luke a problem?" She asked. "Yeah, am I a problem?" I heard Luke's voice.

Fuck.

I looked at Luke and gave him the 'everything's fine. Haha, I was just playing' smile. "Well, y'all look good so no lab-partner change," the teacher smiled.

Extra fuck.

Luke and I went to sit at our table. A few minutes into the class, he past me a note:

You're not going to get rid of me that easily, bbg ♡︎
