Janey’s POV:
“Hey Janey, what’s wrong with your brother today? He just looks upset,” an english teacher asks.
“I noticed that too,” a math teacher says.
“I haven’t spoke to him yet. I heard students talking about how he wasn’t joking around today.”
Just then the door opens to reveal Luke. He walks to his spot at our long table and sits down eating his lunch. He sets his phone next to him and checks it constantly.
“Luke, are you done eating?”
“Yeah why?” He questions not looking up.
“I want to talk to you in my room.” I say leaving the table. He stands up and followed. As we enter my room I question him, “What’s wrong with Leigha?”
“Well, a co worker of ours knows and made me break up with her or she’d take it to the superintendent of the the district. I love my job, so I broke it off. She doesn’t care that someone knew. She’s taking in hard,” he tells me not looking at me. I see the hurt in his eyes.
“Who knows?”
“Maybell Taylor. I’m taking her on a date or two and then talking to Lee,” he says optimistically. I didn’t know if he knew or not, but Leigha is going on a date tonight. I have to tell him.
“She’s a bitch of an art teacher! Anyway Luke, listen to me ok? Leigha is going on a date tonight.”
“You're kidding right?”
“I wish. I had to tell you. I’m sorry Luke.”
“With who?” He questions his voice barely above a whisper.
“Joey Cain.” Luke walks out of my room. I watch him walk into his room and close the door. He looks so hurt. Leigha stands at her locker laughing with a group of people. I know she saw Luke. I just go to my desk and worry about Luke.
Leigha’s POV:
I stand at my locker packing up to go home after fifth hour because I can. I feel Luke’s eyes staring at my back. I feel someone poke my side. I smile and turn around to see Joey. He has had the biggest crush on me for ages. I had to say yes when he asked me out. “Hey Leigha!”
“Hey Joe.”
“Where you going?”
“I have sixth hour free so home.”
“Oh ok. I’ll pick you up at 6, is that ok?” He questions smiling sincerely. He is nerdy, but popular and he was a sweetheart.
“Yeah that works. See you later!”
“See ya. I’ll text you!”
I laugh and turn toward Luke. “Is my sister in there yet?”
“I don’t know,” he says looking away.
“Thanks for your help sir. Can you give her a ride home?”
“No problem Ms. Clark, but I don’t know I have a date to get ready for,” he says with a smirk.
“Fine I guess she’s walking home! Mr. Smith have fun.”
“Who is walking home?” Tasha asks appearing from behind me.
“You. I have a free period sixth hour now so I’m going home.”
“What? Wait why? Wait What?”She questions concerned.
