Summer of Exceptions

Part 3

Melody's POV

To get to Daisy's locker we had to pass Luke's. As we did he stopped me.

"Melody" he called, waving me over to his locker.

"I'll meet you at yours, don't leave without me" I said to Daisy before I walked over to him.

The hallway was starting to clear so I could cut across no problem.

"Hey" he said.

"Hey" I replied, awkwardly standing in front of him.

"You looked nice today" he said smiling, stepping close to me.

"Well thanks, but" I tried to say, but was cut off.

"No Melody" he said pressing me against the lockers, causing my breath to catch in my throat. "You look really pretty today" he said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

I stared into his eyes for a couple of seconds, and before I knew it, we were kissing. I was kissing the Luke Hemmings. After a minute I pulled away.

"Luke, what are you doing" I asked.

"Kissing you" he replied back very matter of factly.

"Exactly, you barely talk to me" I said "I'm not just gonna be another girl you can add to your list".

"I've been watching you for weeks now, I just didn't think that you'd want to talk to me after what I did. But I know you like me" he tried, moving his hands down to my waist.

"Luke, you're a man whore. You're with a different girl each week. You make girls fall for you, and then you're gone. I can't go through that again" I said.

"Melody I know you, and you wanna trust me" he tried "just give me the chance to prove you wrong".

I was quiet, still trying to process that my single stupid high-school popularity goal of dating Luke could possibly be a reality.

"Fine, but you're on probation" I said.

"So you'll go out with me" he asked with a smile.

"Yes" I replied, smiling back.

Luke's POV

She was hot. I hadn't realized it before, or maybe she just needed a year to grow into it, but now she was hot.

I'm not sure what it was about Melody. My parents would like her, so they'd get off my back. She had low self-esteem, so I wouldn't have to worry about her leaving me.

She was different from all the other girls that I've dated before, and maybe different was just what I needed. Plus I know that she's a good person, and she likes me so much that she's putty in my hands to whatever I want.
