New Kid///LUKE HEMMINGS

What are friends for?

~WEDNESDAY ~

I woke up this morning, not wanting to do anything at all.
I didn't even want to get up.
But I had to.

I lazily walked to my closet and picked out some ripped boyfriend jeans with a large sweatshirt.

"Morning mom" I groaned
"Oh good morning sweetie"
"Bye mom"
"Wait you're not going to eat?"
I wasn't in the mood for food right now.
"I will at school"
I walked out the door.

~AT SCHOOL ~

"Hey Marie!" Luke exclaimed.
"Oh morning Luke"
"Looks like someone's not a morning person"
"No I am not."
"Oh hey I have to tell you about Candace"
He smiled.

Please don't.

"Oh tell me all about her"
"Tell me all about who?" Calum barged in.
"Calum! Good you're here!" I said
"Luke wants to tell you about this girl he met, now will you excuse me I need to use the restroom"
I ran to the restroom to try and stop myself from crying.

"Deep breaths Marie, deep breaths"I told myself before walking out.
Good thing I didn't cry.
"Oh good Marie you're back because I really need to talk to you about Candace" Luke said.
Dammit I was hoping he'd forget about that.

"Okay sure, tell me about her" I faked a smile."Well she's so amazing and so beautiful, she likes all the things that I like and I know I just met her but I think we really hit it off"
"Oh...that's amazing Luke"
"I know right!"

"That's really cool Luke" Calum said.
"Thanks but Marie I need to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"I really want to take Candace out but If I do I want it to be the best date, so I was hoping you'd help me plan it"

Say no Marie.
Make up an excuse.
Say that your goldfish died or something.
"Sure Luke"
Dammit why do I have to be so nice?
"Okay thanks" he smiled.
I heard his phone buzz.

"Oh shit that's her, what do I do?"
"Umm I don't know answer it" Calum said.
"Your right"
"Heyyy Candace"
"I'll be back" he said covering his phone so Candace couldn't hear.
And like that he left.

"Ahem" Calum turned towards me.

"What?"
"You like Lukeee" he poked me.
"No I do not" I said grabbing his finger.
"Ow ow ow, you're crushing my finger" he yelped, making me release his finger.
"You're so mean" he said.

"So what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"About this" he pointing at Luke who was still on the phone with Candace.
"I don't like him!"
"Yea you do, you wanna know how I know?"
"How?" I rolled my eyes.
"Because you always blush when you're lying and you always seem to look the other way too"

"This is how my cheeks normally look" I looked the other way.
"I knew it!"
"Shhhhhh" I said pulling him towards a corner.

"Okay you know but can you please not tell anyone, please Cal "
"I won't"
I sighed and walked back to where we stood before.
"Since I'm keeping this a secret and I was the only one who figured it out..."
"Where are you going with this to Cal?"
"You have to make your children's god father"

"What?" I asked confused.
"Y'know for you and Luke's future children"

My eyes went wide.
"Calum!" I tried slapping his arm but he ran away, so then I chased him around the whole school.

I was still running, trying to look for him.
I ran into someone.
"Sorry" I said trying to run again.
"Woah woah woah, Marie what's wrong?" Samuel asked stopping me.
"Oh I'm just trying to look for Calum" I smiled.

"What do you want to do with that weirdo" one of Samuel's friends, Zach, asked.
Samuel and his friends ended up laughing.
"He's not weird!" I said.
"The dude barely speaks and when he does he st-stutters" Zach said mocking Calum.
I swear I will end up punching this dude.

"I swear last year he tried asking out Sophia, he completely stuttered over his words"
"He was all like 'w-will y-you g-go o-out with me?" Zach laughed.
That's it!
I walked up towards him and kicked him.

"Ow you stupid bitch!" He said falling to the floor.
"If you ever talk shit about cal or any of my friends again, I swear it'll be more than just a kick!"
Ryan, another one of Samuels friends helped pick up Zach and took him to the nurses office.

"Look Marie! we're just joking, Calum's one of our friends, this is how we joke" Samuel said.
"Yea like we'd ever hang out with him" another one of Samuels friend said.

"Henry!" Samuel said turning back to his friend.
"What, dude I'm not lying just so you could get into some bitch's pants"
people around us started to laugh and point fingers.
I looked at Samuel.
"So it is true, you were just using me"
"Yes he was" Henry said with a smile.

"Well I guess you really just wasted your time cause I would never sleep with you! even if you were the last man on earth!" I said disgusting.
I walked away, not paying attention to the eyes of everyone.

"Hey...." Calum said coming out from the corner he was hiding in.
"There you are" I said slapping his arm playfully.
He didn't even react.

"Thanks" he smiled.
"Are you thanking me for slapping you? well your welcome" I smiled.
"No" he smiled.
"Thank you for sticking up for me, no one's ever done that for me, so thanks" he scratched the back of his neck.
"Hey what are friends for?" I said

"now cmon don't want to be late for first period" I said putting my arm around his shoulder.
