Chapter 7

Luke's P.O.V
I wandered aimlessly into music. Michael wasn't here yet, of course. He was never in on time. Pick sat down at the table near back, in the corner. I watched patiently as several people piled into he class. I was only waiting for Michael to walk in and take up the seat next to me. I wasn't sure how long that would be, seeing as his time of arrival at lesson varied from ten minutes early to half an hour late. I still sat patiently, tying to stop myself from falling asleep. What if Michael didn't want to sit next to me? What if I had scared him away? No, he wouldn't be like that, would he?

A familiar face soon walked in and sat on the table in front of me. The familiar face wasn't Michaels.
"Hey Luke!" Niall said, trusting around to face me and briefly flashing me a smile, I rolled my eyes at him before look back over to the teachers desk. I glanced up at the large board and quickly read through the assignment myself before the teacher explained to everyone, it seemed to be something about writing a song in pairs about your views on society today.

I loved song writing. I had a million songs already written. That's one thing no one knew about me, when I was alone with my guitar, I would strum randomly and soon enough come up with a melody along with a few deep meanings. My latest piece of work was called "Beside You." I had only come up with a chorus for it, but the melody of the verses were coming along nicely, not that it mattered seeing as the song would be stupid for an assignment like this.

The teacher finally explained the assignment to us. The song had to last atleast 2 minutes, with atleast 2 verses and a chorus. It could be longer but had to be shorter than 5 minutes. It had to talk about our views on society and how we deal with it and come across it. I guess she was expecting them to all be dull and drab, but I already had a faint idea of what type of lyrics I could put in. It was in pairs, so everyone quickly shuffled to their friends. I quickly stood up from my chair and began walking over to the teacher, to tell her I would work with Mikey when he came back. On my way, O was stopped by a strong force on my wrist. "Ow! Hey!" I said, trying to pull my hand away. I turned around to see Niall grinning widely.
"Lover boy isn't here so I guess it's just you and me!" He quickly pulled me into the seat next to him.
"Wait... You know that I-"
"Kissed Michael?" He rudely interrupted. "Of course, he told me all about it! I think you should stay away. Michael has issues, he is messed up and messes up other people! And If you don't stay away from him, maybe I can use this project as a reason to take your mind off him." I felt a shiver run down my spine and instantly felt uncomfortable. Luckily, the teacher walked past us, maki Niall move slightly away from me. We finally began faintly talking about the project, and by talking, I mean Niall told me all his ideas whilst flirting between every sentence. I just wanted to hit him. Once the bell finally blared out, I quickly opened my phone.
Penguin Pal :3 : where the fuck are you!
The A,along Cliffonda: On a bench on the playground!

I found myself running there, trying to get as far away from where I was as possible. Niall made me feel sick and dirty, treating me as though I were a piece of meat. I guess I understand what girls mean now when they say things like that. It truly does feel horrible. To think, I used to be like that with girls. It disgusting.
When I finally arrived at him, I don't know if I felt more upset or more angry. He stood up from the bench he was on in an instant, questioning me on what was wrong, but I used all my force to push him back down before sitting next to him.
My voice broke as I began to talk, and I felt a mixture of frightened, angry and upset, but I knew that this was all just my bodies was of telling me I was weak. I hated it. I hated everything. I hated life. Maybe I could disappear? Ive done it before. No one would notice... No one but Michael...
We're just two boys lost in the shadows...

Idk, did you like that? I liked that. It was seriously short, sorry, but I still think it was quite cool to hear from Luke's Point of View 😁 Anyway, more Muke coming really soon!!!!
