Fate's Kinda Funny [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5: What Exactly Is It?

The next morning, I woke up in Luke's arms to the sound of my alarm clock going off for school. I waited and waited as long as I could for it to just magically go off, but for some odd reason it just would not comply with my mind's strict orders for it to turn itself off. The things in this world require too much man-power.

I finally decided to get up and shut my alarm clock off. I pushed the button and went to my closet. I grabbed a pair of black leggings and a gigantic black and blue superman hoodie. I was gonna pull off the "lazy but cute" look today.

I went to my bathroom and hopped in the shower. Once I finished, I got out and blow dried my hair. I quickly ran a brush through my hair. Now all I need is a dang ponytail holder. After looking for forever I finally found one. I pulled my hair up into a cute bun on top of my head and positioned it the way I wanted it.

I walked back to my bedroom after I was fully dressed. I walked in with my head down and then looked up to see Luke standing there butt naked. I yelped and covered my eyes. After I covered my eyes the thought of how good he looked came to mind. I quickly shoved it away though. Why am I getting all of these thoughts about him?

"Jade! Oh my, gosh!! I'm so sorry! I didn't think you would be out of the shower that fast so I decided to go ahead and change," he explained.

"It's fine. Just please put some clothes on so I can uncover my eyes," I replied.

"Ok, I will."

After a few minutes of standing there, I heard Luke walk towards me. I stood there until I felt him pull my hands away from my face.

I looked up at him and studied his eyes. He was looking at me with lust filled eyes and love. He has never looked at me like that. I looked over them again to see if I could see anything else, but now there was nothing. He hid it all away.

Luke wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I put my arms around him and smushed my face against his chest. His smell instantly enveloped me.

I have always loved the way he smells. He always smells like outside I guess you could say. It kinda smells like trees and like the forest. It doesn't stink or anything, but it smells really good.

It was kinda strange of him to hug me. He didn't used to. I'm not complaining or anything though, because I really like it. Luke is warm.

"Sorry for that. I thought you would be a little bit longer in the shower than that," he said.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's not like it will ever happen again," I said even though his chest muffled it. I looked up at him, and he looked down at me. He looked heart broken. Though he masked his expression once again, so I did not see it for long. Maybe I was mistaken. Maybe he just has an eye issue or something. Who knows.

He kissed the top of my head and then released me out of his grasp and let me go. I continued on into my room and sat on my bed. I lied back and let my legs hang off the bed. After a few minutes of lying there and thinking about things, I forced myself up and towards my bag.

I shoved all of my papers and things into my tacky black and white checkered backpack. I walked to the living room and threw my bag in a chair and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a water and a granola bar and went back to my bag. I grabbed it and opened the door.

"Bye!! Love you, Mom!! I'll see you this evening after school!!" I hollered through the house. I shut the door and walked down my driveway. I ate my granola bar and threw the trash in a garbage can at the end of our driveway.

I took a sip of my water and stopped once I reached my destination. I looked to my left to see if I could see the big yellow Twinkie anywhere. The only thing I could really see was Luke, though. He was in my way. I stood there and just stared at him. He still didn't notice me staring at him, so I put my hands on my hips and patted my foot on the ground as loud and as fast as I possibly could.

After just a few seconds he finally turned to me and looked at me. He raised an eyebrow and gave me a strange look as if saying,'What the hell are you doing?' I held my stare for as long as I could before we both just busted out laughing our butts off. I laughed so hard that I doubled over gripping my stomach for dear life and then fell to the ground still laughing at the hilarious look Luke gave me.

I jumped up off the ground and dusted my front side off. I turned around and tried to look at my butt to see if I had anything on my butt, but of course I couldn't see.

"Luke, do I have anything on my butt?" I asked while turning around for him to look at my butt.

"No, you don't," he replied.

"Are you sure?" I asked just to be sure.

"Yea."

"Ok."

I heard Luke mutter something to himself about him wishing that there really was nothing there or something like that. I thought about it for a second. It really confused me.

"Luke, what did you say a minute ago?" I asked as I saw a blush of pink appear on Luke's cheeks.

"Oh, uuuuuuhhhhhh, that was nothing. I was just talking to myself," he said while looking away from me.

"No, really what did you say?" I said while flashing him a small smile.

"Ok, Jade, I don't really know how to say this so I will just put it as simply as possible......we--" Luke got cut off by the disgusting Twinkie that every kid hates. I mean literally even the fluffy (If you do not know what this means it is a term that just simply means chubby. I prefer not to use the word fat or just anything like that.) kids who eat twinkies on a daily basis hate this big yellow Twinkie.

As I got on the bus I shot daggers through my eyes at the driver for having such bad timing. Luke was just about to tell me something important and the dang bus driver and his bad timing ruined it all. Luke was going to actually open up to me about something for once..................or at least I hope he was.

As I sat down beside Julia she gave me a look that just said,'Tell me everything!!' I didn't want to tell her everything just yet. There wasn't really much to tell her anyway.

"He's just staying at my house for a while," I said.

"Oh," she replied while letting her mouth form an 'o' shape.

I was not in that much of a good mood after I got on the bus, and I didn't really feel like talking that much so I just stared out the window with Julia. I looked up at the sky and stared for just a second.

Right as I was about to return my gaze back to the passing woods I saw my dad. I stared in complete and utter shock. He smiled down at me and in my head I could hear him telling me something.

"Listen to Luke. Give him a chance. Don't turn away from him and block him out. I know you're hurting, but he will help you. Give him time and he will tell you what you need to know about your future that I didn't get to tell you. Once Luke explains you will understand what I mean. I love you, baby girl. Never forget me."

I stared at him as he slowly disappeared. Tears pricked my eyes but I didn't allow them to fall. What did he mean by,'Give him time and he will tell you what you need to know about your future that I didn't get to tell you'? What does that mean? Is something going to happen to me? What exactly is it?

All day at school I couldn't concentrate at all. My dad's words kept replaying in my mind. I could hear them so clearly. All I could think about was me questioning Luke later. I am kinda glad that Luke is living with me for a little bit now. I can't wait to see him later.
