I walked to the backseat in pure humiliation. ¨Hey Spence¨ Luke said obviously holding back a snicker. ¨Hey loser¨ I playfully said. ¨What did you do to your nose?¨ Luke frowned, ¨I fell down the stairs¨ I responded glumly. As we were heading to school Luke and I had an amazing conversation we talked about our favorite colors our favorite food and our favorite well everything. 

When Luke and I got to school everybody was staring at me, and I may have forgotten to tie my shoelaces again. I tripped and almost fell on my face again. I know what you are going to say, and yes I know I'm clumsy. Luckily Luke caught me. Gosh, what an embarrassing way to start school. Everybody started laughing and I just pulled my hood up muttered thanks to Luke and stormed off inside.

I walked to my locker but it was occupied, a dark-haired boy was leaning on it, talking to a girl. ¨Excuse me.¨ I said, the boy didn't hear me, ¨Exucuse me¨ I said louder this time, yet he made no sign of whether he heard me or not. Finally, I tapped his shoulder, he turned. I stared bewildered at his gorgeous face. Was he built or was he a normal person? ¨Oh sorry, was I leaning on your locker¨ he asked me. ¨Y-yes¨ I stuttered, I bet I look like an idiot. ¨I mean its fine I just need to put my stuff in there¨ I said more calmly now. The boy stepped away from my locker and headed to his next class, I gazed at him. Then he turned around and winked.

I stood by my locker wondering if this was a dream. ¨Ahem, earth to Spencer!" a voice said. I realized that voice was Luke. ¨Hey Luke¨ I said, but I noticed something had shifted in his expression, he had a dark look as he stared off into the distance. I realized that we were going to be late for class. ¨Come on Luke were going to be late!"I told him Then his face softened as he looked at me ¨ Yeah come on let's go¨ Luke said.

As Luke and I walked to class, I pondered on and on about what that change in him had been. I felt something hard slam against my face. Somebody caught me before I fell. ¨Oww, oh thanks for catching me Luke, oww¨ I touched my forehead.¨Actually its me¨ I looked up and saw it was the cute dark-haired boy from before. ¨Oh wow umm, uh, thanks¨ I said. ¨My name is Tyler by the way¨ He said, ¨Uh, Uhm, Spencer¨ I responded. I looked over to Luke who had that same dark expression yet again.
