"Calum totally owes me ten bucks,"

"excuse me?"

"I said it would only take a month for you two to hook up, he guessed three," Michael shrugged in satisfaction, making himself comfortable in the chair situated in front of Luke's desk.

Meanwhile Luke and Alexis were both trying to recover from getting caught in the middle of their impromptu make out session.

"We didn't hook up we just made out," Luke grumbled, annoyed that he had been interrupted and that Michael was too insensitive to leave.

"Same difference. The point is that I get my money," He grinned victoriously, throwing his hands up behind his head.

Alexis stared back and forth between the two boys, Luke was glaring at Michael, while Michael was sending back a smug smirk.

"Well, all right then, I think it's time for me to go," She mumbled awkwardly, bending over and picking up her work and shoving it in her backpack.

However, Luke grabbed her arm before she could go anywhere, "Wait, Lex, don't leave, Michael can go."

"Excuse you Lucas, I'm perfectly content right here. But if you two would like to continue what I interrupted, by all means, have at it."

Alexis shot him a disgusted look and pulled her arm away from Luke, "Thanks for the help, Luke. Is the same time tomorrow okay?" Luke's arm raised the rub the back of his neck and he nodded awkwardly and watched Alexis leave, his eyes lingering on her ass a little too long.

As soon as he heard the front door shut, he reached over and grabbed a pillow off his bed and launched it at Michael.

"You complete dickwheel," Luke shouted and Michael fell over in laughter.

"You're the most awkward guy I've ever met, Luke, Jesus Christ, how hard is it for you to bang a girl?" he continued to laugh and Luke glared, walking out of the room.

"I wouldn't be having such problems getting in her pants if you would leave me the hell alone!" He called behind him.

"Excuse me?" Luke stopped in his tracks, eyes widening as he felt his breath hitch.

"Alexis? I thought you left?" He turned to see Alexis talking to his mother, who apparently had gotten home from work early.

"I was on my way out when your mom came home and introduced herself," Her tone was threatening as both women sent glares towards the boy's head. Michael instantly popped up behind Luke and observed the situation at hand before bursting into another fit of hysterics.

"Dear Lord, not just Alexis but your mom too, goddamn, Luke you can't catch a break today," he chuckled, earning all three sets of eyes to send their glares his way. He coughed awkwardly and ran a hand through his hair, "So, uh, I'm gonna go. I'll see you guys at school," Making his way towards the door, he called out, "Later, Liz!" before slamming the front door shut and leaving Luke alone and in quite the predicament.

"Luke, do you want to say anything?" Liz warned using her mom voice, clearly in no mood for jokes.

"Uh, can I talk to Lex alone, please?" She lifted her hands in surrender before stalking off toward the kitchen.

Alexis folded her arms, giving Luke an expectant Luke as he opened his mouth to talk, but she interrupted him, "I'll see you at school, Luke," She mumbled before swiftly turning around and walking towards the door, "by the way, nice boner."

"Please help me," Luke begged Casey for what seemed like the thousandth time that day.

"Do you actually want to date her? Or do you just want to screw her?"
When Luke didn't answer, Casey walked away, not wanting to bother with the older boy's antics.

"Look, I don't even want to fuck her anymore, I just want her to talk to me again," Luke whined, which was true. It had been three days since the incident at Luke's house, and Alexis hadn't responded to any of his texts. She ignored him in math class and didn't show up for their tutoring sessions after school. Luke had screwed up massively.

"Listen, Alex is stubborn, and you have managed to royally pissed her off. Give her some time to cool down, if you get too clingy she'll just want to kick your ass. It's better if you just leave her alone for now," Casey advised, "But do something like this again and I'll beat you into the dirt so hard that you'll become part of the field. I warned you what would happen if you hurt her."

"She wasn't supposed to hear me!"

Casey swiftly turned around and grabbed Luke by the collar of his sweatshirt, "So you were just gonna fuck her and then dump her, right? Without telling her? Lead her on, get in her pants? See how many times you could get her into bed before she wanted more, then ditch her?" He growled, not even bothering to wait for an answer that he already knew, "Stay the hell away from her or I swear to God I will not hesitate to break your legs," He let go of Luke's shirt and turned around, walking away without another word.

"Alexis! Open the damn door, I know you're in there," Luke urged, banging on Alexis' front door repeatedly. Needless to say, he had ignored Casey's threats and made his way to her apartment right after school had ended.

Luke knocked on the door once more before it swung open, revealing an extremely unhappy Casey.

"Oh shit," In one hasty movement, Casey had swung at Luke's face, making contact with his jaw and Luke stumbled backwards.

"I fucking warned you," he bellowed, "twice," He grabbed Luke by his shirt and swung at his stomach this time, causing Luke to let out a low groan.

"Casey, stop!" A girly voice shrieked in fear. The two boys turned towards the door to see a horrified Alexis wrapped in a blanket, wearing pajama pants and fuzzy socks. Her hair was messily thrown into a bun and she wasn't wearing make up and Luke was amazed at how good she looked, even though he was slightly preoccupied with not getting killed. "As much as I would enjoy watching you kill Luke, it's not worth it."

Casey slowly let go of him, and he rubbed his jaw, turning to spit out blood that had accumulated in his mouth.

"Stay away from her this time, I'm ser-"

"Casey, you are not in charge of me or who talks to me," Alexis roared, authoritatively.

"I was just trying to help," He muttered, obviously confused as to why she was getting mad at him.

"I appreciate it, but stop. You don't control me," She said before turning to Luke, "You need to leave."

"Look, just hear me out," She put her hand up to silence him.

"I don't need to hear you out, I know exactly what you're going to say. Now leave, I'll talk to you again when I feel like it." They both watched him expectantly as he slumped his shoulders in defeat.

"I'm really sorry," He mumbled, almost inaudibly, before turning and walking away.
