I came back inside after walking Tobi, it was nice. I was glad to have time to talk with Lin, especially after what happened with Nick and Luke. It was 7:00, which meant I had and hour and a half to kill before I had to go to school. Yay.

"I have some work to do, be quiet, V's working." Lin walked into his office, and I ended up just going to my room. I remembered that I had a little more than a month before my APUSH class went to Hamilton and we were supposed to do "Hamilton appreciation" performances. We're a performing arts school. The competition at my school is intense when it comes to things like this. I had a couple of ideas running through my head. So I spent my Friday morning writing parody songs for that. I suck at meaningful stuff.

Finally, an hour and a half later, I was on my way to school with Vanessa.

"You going to be ok today?" She asked, pulling into the parking lot.

"What do you mean? Yeah, I'll be fine." I fumbled a little.

"Ok, just, don't make plans to meet up with Nick? Alright?" I laughed a little, then remembered that's what I did yesterday.

"Alright." I said getting out of the car, I grabbed my backpack and crutches and got myself into a standing position. Yay me. "Thanks for driving!" I called to Vanessa as she drove away. I made my way inside slowly. School had been hard lately, Nick had made a re-appearance in my life, and I was nervous, my principal wasn't even on my side.

"William?" I asked walking up to him in the cafeteria, "I won't be in school on Monday."

"Why? How can you miss so much school?" He asked.

"Cast is going to the White House." I shrugged

"So, you're cutting school to go to the White House."

"Yep! Apparently, according to Lin, I get to meet Obama." I smiled, "I think that makes school kind of blah. Don't you?"

"Oh my gosh. I'm so jealous. Have fun."

"Oh I promise I will." I smiled proudly. Just then the bell rang, and I took off for Spanish.

My first 2 periods went very well, nothing happened. Spanish was boring, as was Choir. It was only 3rd period Bio when everything went to hell. I went to the bathroom, if you look back on the past couple months of my life, you can kind of tell that I should not be allowed to use the restroom during a class.

"Fun Home?" A voice behind me asked.

"Yeah," I said turning around, "ugh, go away." Luke was behind me leaning against a wall.

"Nope. I don't really want to. Anyways. Did you have time to think about my offer?"

"Your offer?" I asked, "um, yeah, no. I don't really think that I'm going to dump my boyfriend for you." I spun around on my good foot, and began to leave.

"I don't think you remember my full offer. Do you?" He persisted.

"I do. You said, I should break up with William, and then come back to you." I responded, not turning around, but rolling my eyes, he couldn't see the sass, but believe me, he could feel it.

"No, I said that you either could break up with your boyfriend who doesn't care about you, or cheat on him." He came closer to me, "with me." I stiffened, the hairs on the back on my neck raising.

"Luke. Go. Away. Please."

"I'll give you a minute to think about it. You could do the considerate thing, and just break up with him. Be nice about it, or you can cheat on him. Think about it, he doesn't actually love you, cheat on him and get him back." I stopped breathing. I knew he was lying, but I was still terrified, he was going to try something. Whilst pondering this I felt his arms wrap around my waist and he put his head on my shoulder.

"Luke, I'm going back to Bio. Back to my boyfriend, who, I promise you, cares about me." He didn't let go, "Luke, can you let go now?" He didn't, "please?"

"No. I gave you 2 choices. You chose neither, which means I get to choose."

"That makes no sense. Literally, none."

"Too bad." He spun me around to face him and kissed me, then shoving me against the lockers. He stopped to catch his breath, and I took the second to my advantage.

"WILLIAM!! HEL..." I was cut off by Luke's hand covering my mouth and his knee in my gut.

"Shut up." He whispered in my ear. I tried to say something in response, but was muffled by his hand on my mouth.

"ROONIE?" I heard William around the corner. "Are you ok?"

"Look what you did." He whispered in my ear, he gripped my upper arm and yanked me into the girls bathroom, which was right next to us. He forced me to sit on the ground, "don't you dare move from this spot." He threw my crutches on my lap and left the bathroom.

"Ugh, Luke, what are you doing here?" I heard William outside the door, I kept quiet, not because Luke told me to, but because I want to see what was going to happen.

"Not taking notes on Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell." Ok. I'll give him that one, kind of funny.

"Ok, so why are you doing this here?"

"I don't know!" Ok, I should come out now. I picked myself up from the floor, it was a bit of a challenge, I did however manage to get up, and get the door open.

"William?" I asked, coming out.

"Babe!" He left his conversation, and ran over to me. "Are you ok? Did he do anything?"

"Not really, nothing major happened." Luke turned to leave.

"NOT SO FAST." William grabbed his shoulder yanking him back. "Do you want to explain to me why you have such a disturbing fascination with Abigail?"

"I don't, she's just a girl, I mean, nice boobs, but not really special."

"Do you want to repeat that?" Now William was turned completely around from me, and was facing Luke. "Do you want to say that again?"

"Sure. Hey Abigail," he looked at me, "nic..." He never finished his sentence, suddenly he was on the ground with William standing over him, looking pretty pissed.

"Do you want to go back to Bio, Roo?" He pulled his arm around my waist.

"Sure." He walked me away from Luke, "thank you so much."

"I'm sorry this is happening." He stated.

"I'm sorry. You can't even let me go to the bathroom alone anymore, everyone needs to have their eyes on me at all time."

"That's not your fault, that cannot possibly be your fault." We got back to class and I had to sit through a mini lecture about how long I was gone for. My bio teacher was on Mr. Shrums side, he was the one who asked me to return to writing my name Abigail Walter. Why?

The day finished smoothly, but I think William and I both realized that this situation needed to end for good.
