Without You

Part 5 "What is wrong with me?"

"Sorry Olivia," I smiled.

Soon we all separated and went to our own lockers to get our things. Thankfully all of our lockers are in the same hall.

"Can you see me?" Eli said coming up next to my locker.

"Yes, I can Eli," I said chuckling.

"That sweatshirt looks comfy I want on-" Eli cut himself off when I turned around and he saw the front. He gags at the team on the front of my sweatshirt and I giggle. 

"Oh Jesus honey, I know you're from down there and all but come on," He says covering his eyes so that he doesn't see the sweatshirt. I turned back around, shut my locker, and just walked away leaving him there.

I make my way over to Olivia's locker and tried starting a conversation but that didn't work too well because Eli decided to follow me.

"Well don't leave me boo-boo," Eli pouted.

"Well you don't like my sweatshirt," I pouted right back at him. 

"I'm sorry," He says hugging me really tightly.

"You are going to kill her," Olivia says from beside me. He lets go and gives me a sympathetic look.

"That's right, you're teeny tiny. "

Once me and Olivia are in first block we take a seat in the same place we did yesterday, class started soon after.

"So there is a football game on Friday, do you want to come?" Olivia whispers. I haven't been to one of those for a while.

"Yeah that'll be fun," I nod.

After about 35 minutes class ended and I made my way to math. I walked into the classroom and Luke was already in there. I don't know how though, we come from the same class. Maybe it's because he has longer legs than me.

"Okay, so as you remember, you took your partner's height yesterday correct?" We all nodded and Ms. Myers continued. 

I drifted off as she continues speaking about what we are going to do today. I kept thinking about how awkward I'm being since I practically clawed at Luke's shirt last night. 

Wow, that sounded awful.

And that he asked me if he makes me nervous. I mean come on, how am I supposed to answer that question? I can't say no with confidence and I also can't say yes without blushing my whole entire face off. 

Why does everything have to be so difficult?

I focused back on what the teacher was saying and we began to work.

__________________________

"I don't know, I just felt kind of awkward, we didn't really say anything to each other. Why do I have to be so embarrassing?" I tell Izzy as she walks with me to the cafeteria.

"Well it is probably you just making it seem awkward, I'm sure he's fine," Izzy shrugs.

"You are not very good at giving advice," I told her as nicely as I could.

"Sorry," she laughs.

Izzy and I enter the lunch room and we find Olivia along the way. We all take a seat and begin eating our lunch.

As I was sitting there, a ranchy spinach leaf handing halfway out of my mouth, Luke decides to walk up and stand right beside the table and look right at me.

My face heated up so quickly and turned very red. I tried covering my mouth and pushing the spinach into my mouth with my fork but I just looked like a weirdo. Then, Eli came up next to Luke. 

 Once I finally got everything situated I looked back up and gave an embarrassed smile. He probably thinks I'm gross now. 

"You left your math book in calculus," My face probably got even redder.

What is wrong with me?

I looked over to Eli and he was wriggling his eyebrows and looking between me and Luke.

"Thank you," I said putting my notebook back into my backpack.

"I'll see you," Luke says walking back to his table, his face emotionless. Eli wiggles his eyebrows at me once more before following after Luke.

I looked over to the girls and they were both raising their brows at me and giving me smirks.

"Aw, your face was so red the entire time," Olivia says.

__________________________

"I'll see you guys later," Olivia says as she separates from us. I make my way into chemistry and Izzy and I take our seats. 

"Try and finish your projects today," Mr. Ryker says from his seat at his desk.

"So you are coming to the game Friday right? Olivia asked and you said yes right?" Izzy asks.

"Yeah, I'm going," I smile. 

We worked on our projects almost the whole time only stopping when I had to help Luke pull the tape out of his hair thanks to Eli. 

I kinda think Eli did it on purpose though because the whole time I was helping Luke, Eli and Izzy were both giving us these smirks and Luke was glaring harshly at Eli. 

Luke's hair was really soft too.

A while later the bell rung and it was finally the last class of the day.
