Lunch rolls around and I go to my locker to drop off my binders. I walk out the front doors and spot Luke's car. I open the passenger door and sit inside.

"Hey baby." He says as he leans over the gearshift to kiss me. I give him a quick peck before putting my seat belt on.

"Are you still good for the diner?" He asks.

"Mhm." I say as I look out the window. 

All morning i've been thinking about the note Brooke gave me. Who was she talking about? Probably Luke. I don't understand her obsession with our relationship. Or maybe it's just an obsession with Luke. Regardless, he's my boyfriend and she better be aware of that. 

"Okay what's wrong?" He asks.

"What? Nothing's wrong." I lie.

"May, this is me you're talking to. I know when something's wrong with you, so tell me."

"Seriously, nothing." 

He sighs. "If you say so."

I don't want Luke to know i'm having problems with Brooke. I especially don't want him to know it's because of him. Brooke still hangs out with everyone in the group, mainly because of Cora. I've been making excuses as to why I can't go hangout with them all since Brooke and I started fighting. I've just been telling Luke that I already made plans with Travis. Luke's okay with me hanging out with him now that he knows we're just friends. But after Brooke's warning message, I don't want her anywhere near Luke if i'm not there. Who knows what she'll try and pull.

We pull into the diner parking lot and park the car. We go inside and sit at our usual booth. I order a burger and fries and so does Luke. I sit quietly picking at my fingers before Luke takes my hand in his across the table. I look up at him and smile faintly before looking back down at the table.

"So why did you rush me off the phone this morning?" Luke asks.

"What? I didn't."

"Yeah, you did." 

I bite my lip uncomfortably. "Because Travis kinda- he heard what you said." 

"What did I say?" He asks, completely oblivious. 

"You know, about this morning..." I cover my face with my hands in embarrassment.

Luke's eyes widen. "Oh! Oh shit, how did he hear that?"

"I guess my speaker was loud enough for him to hear. And he got all uncomfortable after he heard you say that, so I just wanted to get off the phone and save everyone the awkwardness." I explain.

"Understandable." Luke chuckles. 

The rest of lunch is fairly silent. After we're finished eating, we go back to Luke's car and he drives me back to school, the car ride is silent for most of the way. He pulls into the parking lot and stops in the front of the school.

"I'll see you after school." I peck his cheek before reaching for the door handle. Luke locks the door and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why'd you lock it?" I ask.

"Because you're not leaving the car until you tell me what's wrong." 

"Luke, nothing's wrong. I already told you that." 

"Yeah and I know you're lying. I obviously know when something's bothering you, so tell me what's going on."

I sigh as I reach into my pocket and pull out the piece of paper. I hand it to Luke.

"What's this?" He asks as he takes it from my hand and slowly opens it. "What the fuck? Who wrote this?"

"Brooke." I say quietly.

"Why?"

"How am I supposed to know? It's clear though that she's obsessed with you." I roll my eyes.

"No she isn't." Luke says.

"Oh really? So she just wrote that then to screw with me? She likes you, Luke. She told me that I shouldn't get back together with you when we were broken up. Then when we did get back together, she basically called me an idiot for it. And now this note. She wants you for herself, it's obvious."

He laughs. Why is he laughing? This isn't funny at all. "Why are you laughing?" I ask, quite annoyed at his reaction.

"Because, you're cute when you get all worked up."

"I am not cute, i'm angry." I huff.

"Well you seem to forget one thing." He laughs as he shakes his head.

"And what is that?" I roll my eyes. 

His laughing seizes as he looks me directly in the eyes before smashing his lips onto mine. I immediately kiss back and bring my hand to the nape of his neck. He brings his hand up to cup my cheek as he deepens the kiss slightly. He swipes his tongue across my bottom lip and I part my lips slightly, giving him access to my mouth. His tongue battles with mine before he pulls away all too soon. He rests his forehead on mine and looks directly into my eyes once again.

"I'm in love with you. Not her." He smiles. I smile as I let out a sigh of relief. I know Luke loves me and not her, but it's nice to be reassured. 

I give him a quick kiss goodbye as I get out of the car and continue my boring school day.

-

School thankfully ends and Luke is waiting outside to pick me up. I get into his car and kiss him swiftly. 

"Did you see her at all?" Luke asks, referring to Brooke.

"Nope, thank god. I probably would have ripped her head off if I did." I exaggerate extremely.

"Easy there, killer." Luke chuckles. 

Several minutes later we pull up to my apartment building and both go inside. I open the door and go inside, Luke following me. I see Michael and Cora sitting on the couch laughing. I smile at the happiness of my brother. I'm so glad he's happy, after everything that happened with my mother.

"Hey guys." Cora says when she sees us.

"Hey." I smile.

"You're coming tonight right?" Michael asks us.

"Where?" I ask.

"Calum's place. It's a 'Michael doesn't know his daddy' party." Michael chuckles and I cringe. Why is he joking about this? 

"Michael.." I look up at him with a saddened expression.

"Come on, i'm kidding. It's just a get together to get me out of my funk." He says.

"I wasn't aware you were in a funk." 

"Well, i'm not really. But I just need a night out with all my friends. And you need to be there too. You never come to our parties anymore." Michael whines. 

"I don't know, Michael. I don't really feel up to it." I lie. Truth is, I just don't want to see Brooke. I'd much rather prefer Luke and I stay in tonight and finish what we started this morning. 

"Oh come on, May. Stop being a party pooper." Cora says.

I sigh. "We'll see." I say as I walk to my room, Luke following suit. He shuts the door behind him as I collapse onto my bed.

"Why don't you want to go?" Luke asks as he sits on my desk chair. 

I sit up from the bed and look at him. "Why do you think? A certain obsessive girl will be there and i'd rather not have drama start up."

"That's the reason why you don't want to go? Wait, is that why you've been making up excuses not to come to our parties? May, fuck Brooke. Who gives a shit if she's there. Just don't talk to her." Luke says.

"I just hate seeing her face. She's such a bitch. Ugh! I hate her." I groan.

Luke walks over to the bed and stands in front of me. He leans down, his face inches from mine. 

"Come. Please. For me?" Luke asks as he sticks out his lower lip slightly, knowing that's a weakness of mine.

I sigh slightly before giving in. "Fine. But if she's an asshole to me then i'm leaving. Deal?"

"Deal." He nods his head.

"Well we have a few hours until the party. What should we do until then?" I ask.

"I have a couple ideas." Luke smirks before crawling onto the bed with me.
