What Has Happened To Her?

Chapter 1, Part 3

I was woken by a strong knock at the door. I groaned and sat up on the side of my bed. There, the door goes again. I walk ever so quickly down the staircase when I exit my room and slip on one stair, making a thud as my foot falls onto the step below it.

Being as careful as possible trying not to wake my Mum, I open the door which is at the bottom of the stairs. 

"Hi! My name is Sarah and I just moved in next door. I am going around the... Uh, you okay there? You look a bit..." Sarah looks at me with a concerned, happy look. Already I'm beginning not to like her. I'd fall to my knees and beg the Lord to send her somewhere else if she was in my school.

"If you go The Aquatic Academy then I guess I'll see you there?" I'm sorry, did she just say the Aquatic Academy? Jeez, just killl me now. I start to close the door as she asks me,

"Well, I'm going to get off to the other houses, oh, I never caught your name?" I open the door a slight and mumble,

"Luke." And slam it shut before she says anything else. I lean against the door and give a sigh of relief. Drousily and lazily, I walk over to the couch and slop myself on it, reaching for the TV remote, which ofcourse, as always, is on the arm of the couch. Where my Mum puts it every night before she heads to bed.

There's another knock at the door, just like one 2 hours beforehand, but a lot lighter, someone who wouldn't attempt to break our wall.

"Who is it?" Mum asks, putting her mug of coffee on the floor next to the couch.(If some of you are confused, right now Luke is getting ready to go to Michael's for the night). I give a small smirk and mumble, " Mikey..." with a small chuckle. I open the door to see Mikey standing there with Lacie in the background in her car, her engine rumming, waiting for us to get in.

"Ready for tonight?" Mikey smiles with a little look of excitement on his face. In reply, I nod with a smile and run upstairs to get my stuff together. When I stand at the top of the stairs and throw my sleeping bag down to Mikey, he says that we're camping in his back yard for the night; I quickly run upstairs for my onesie with a hood and some thick memory-foam pillows.

As I shut my front door and head towards Lacie's car, I see Sarah in her garden. She smiles at me and waves in excitement, "Hey Luke! Where are you off to? And who are they?" Michael stands still and explains for me.

"I'm Michael, and that fine-figured lady in the car is my girlfriend, Lacie." Michael turns to Lacie and winks slyly.

"Okay then, 'Michael'. Will I see you in school? You know, the one about 10 minutes away from here?" Michael nods and drags me towards the car, leaving this conversation unfinished.

Lacie, at this moment, is passing the park. I remember when Laticia and I would come here every valentines day. I'd take her for a walk along the side of the lake, and explain every time on how that river would never get as beautiful as her. Yes, she used to cut and was bruised from her self-harming, but I love her, even by this day. She's beautiful even with her marks. Remarkably, my thoughts are interrupted by Michael.

"Whit-woo. Lukey's found his penguin! Lukey's found his penguin!" Mikey exaggerates. Yes, Sarah is a nice girl even if I hardly know her, but I'd never date her.

"No, Michael. I only met her this morning when she woke me up from my slumber. I hardly even know her!"

Michael punches my shoulder  lightly and looks at me with a smirk.

"Gaurantee. Gaurantee we'll go to school tomorrow and we'll see how she reacts, and more importantly, how YOU react."

"I'm not going to 'react' like anything, Michael. I never made fun of you and Lacie."

Michael lays silent for a couple of minutes, thinking of what I just said.

Hey everyone. My laptop is finally fixed! Finally! And I have sad news. Once this story is finished and 'famous' (just to let you know, Famous is not going to be a long story, it'll have round about 15 chapters in it, but I'll try to make the chapters longer), I will be leaving Wattpad! I'm sorry for any of you who enjoy my stories, but soon I will open up a new account and start fresh from there. Some good stories this time. I am going to read other people's stories and try and get some more inspiration from them, to imporve my stories for you guys.
