Luke's Pov

I still can't believe I said those things. Why would I say that Madison isn't a slut when I know she is?

God, I'm so pathetic right now. Those feelings I had for Emily came rushing back when I saw her the first day.

All kinds of emotions ran through my head. But now, I fucking screwed up. AGAIN.

If I keep doing this to her, I will never get her to feel the same way as I'm feeling right now.

I honestly want to slam my head against a wall.

And the worst part about this is that she caught Madison and me last night. I felt so ashamed. It isn't a pleasant feeling when the girl you're in love with finds you fucking your slut of a girlfriend.

I won't mind if she hates me at the moment, because I sure as hell do.

Emily' Pov

"Where did you run off to last night?" Alex asked as she took a seat at the lunch table I was sitting at.

"Honestly, I got bored," I said, making her nod her head.

"Well, did someone at least ask you to dance?" She asked with a small smile on her lips.

"Yeah," I answer while looking down at my hands.

"Did you dance with anyone then?" She asked, and I slowly nodded my head.

"With who?" She asked curiously

"Just someone," I said while looking up at her.

"Is it maybe the guy who was staring at you yesterday?" She asked with a smirk on her face.

"Yes," I sighed, and her smirk just grew more prominent.

"And how was it?" She asked.

"It was fine until his girlfriend showed up," I answered honestly, and my heart aches when I say his girlfriend.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said as her smile slowly faded.

It was silent for a while until I heard the chair across the table screech. I looked up to see a guy kissing Alex on the cheek.

"Hey babe," he said while smiling at her.

"Hey," Alex said in a happy tone. "Emily, this is my boyfriend, Danny. Danny, this is my new friend Emily" she said.

"Hi," we both said at the same time, making all of us chuckle.

"Sorry I'm late, guys," I heard someone say from behind me.

"Nah, its fine dude," Danny said.

I turned around in my seat, and a smile immediately grew on my face.

James looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"And who is this?" He asked while taking a seat next to me. I couldn't help but chuckle a little making.

"Oh, James, this is Emily. Emily, James," Alex said while gesturing between us.

"Have I met you before?" James asked with a confused face.

"Do I look that different?" I asked. "I was the girl you spent your time on at the carnival a few months ago," I said.

James' eyes went wide as he looked at me. "Oh, my god. You've changed so much since I last saw you," he said, making me giggle a little.

"So how are you?" I asked, making him frown a little.

"I've been better," he mumbled, making me furrow my eyebrows.

"Why? What happened?" I asked.

"Well, my girlfriend and I broke up," he said while looking down at his hands.

"What, why?" I asked.

"Well, when I got back, I found her in bed with someone else, and ever since we've broken up, I saw her with a few others, but now she has a boyfriend," he said as his voice cracked at the end.

"James, I'm so sorry," I said.

I looked up to see that neither Alex nor Danny was here.

"Don't be. I think it was for the best," he said with a small smile on his face.

"So tell me, Emily. Why on earth would you change your hair" he said, making me laugh a little.

"I just wanted a change," I replied.

"Oh well, tell me something. How the hell did you change the color of your eyes," he asked in curiosity.

"Its contacts James" I laugh, making his cheeks turn a slight red.

"Well, the look suits you better," he said with a huge smile on his face, and I could feel my cheeks heating up.

*********

"So you and James?" Alex asked with a smirk on her face.

"We're just friends Alex," I said as I placed my books next to me on the bed.

"Sure you are," she said while wiggling her eyebrows.

Luke's Pov

Sitting here and watching those smiling and talking to each other is seriously pissing me off right now.

God, I want to punch that smile off of that guy's face.

I sighed as the bell rang. I quickly got up from the chair and sprinted out of the cafeteria.

Since I have a free period, I went back to my dorm room and harshly slammed the door open before I collapsed onto my bed.

Sound gr8. See you outside

I smiled as I got up from my bed and walk over to the door.

"Where are you going?" Alex asked while taking her eyes off of the movie she was watching with Danny.

"I'm just going to grab some food with James," I said, and I could see the smile forming on her face.

"Have fun," she called as I closed the door behind me.

********

"Where are you going?" I asked James. Yes, the JAMES- who is officially my roommate and who I found out if Madison's ex.

"I'm grabbing something to eat with Emily," he said as he put on his jacket.

I heart clenched at that as I comprehend what he just said. "Mind if I come," I asked, not wanting them to be together. ALONE.

"Sure," he said while scratching the back of his neck.

"Thanks," I mumbled as I grabbed my jacket and walked out of the dorm room beside him.
