The rest of the month passed by like a blur- finally now Friday.

A lot has happened ever since Alec asked Caroline to be he's girlfriend in front of the whole school. They were now known as the schools hottest and cutest couple, being in each other's company 24/7.

Speaking of couples, Jake and Jade thought it was the right time to tell us that they were seeing each other, which of course got me squealing with happiness. I obviously had to input my "I told you so" speech after their confession to our group.

As for Sky and Luke, their relationship still remains a mystery- much to my dismay but that doesn't stop me from coming up with ideas in my mind.

Blake and I were still friends. It still didn't change the fact that I still saw him as beautiful, my feelings for him only growing stronger instead of staying the same.

It was terrifying me how fast I was beginning to fall for him. It was like every day I saw him, my heart automatically grew larger. Every moment spent with him was full of surprises. I had to be careful that my feelings for him were not able to be seen from the outside. The last thing I needed was having to deal with confessing to him which didn't end well last time because I was too stubborn. I guess I was protecting myself- protecting my heart from getting hurt because I knew he had it in his hands. Thankfully, he hasn't acted upon his interest in me again and we were just normal- back to how it used to be between us, except a lot less hate.

I couldn't help but sigh at the nagging feeling in the bottom of my stomach.

It was killing me knowing that we would never be together even though I couldn't picture myself with anyone else. To come to think of it, we have gotten so much closer that I couldn't find it in me to picture us apart.

Feelings are so fricken confusing.

"Why are you fighting it?"

"I'm not."

"Why are you pushing me away?"

I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as I heard the familiar voices of Luke and Sky. Curiously tiptoeing down the corridor, I followed the voices which were coming from around the corner. I tried to keep myself as hidden as possible as I poked my head out to see where they were.

My eyes grew wide as I could just  barely make out Luke who had pinned Sky against one of the metal lockers at the far end of the hall.

"You knew it was me" his voice cracked.

It didn't take a genius to guess that he was referring to the love letter. My heart softened, instantly feeling sorry for him.

Nothing could of prevented my shock as I saw Sky flinch softly. "I can't do this" she whispered. "I can't get hurt again" she mumbled, her eyes glazing over with tears.

My hands flew up to my mouth to conceal my gasp. I wanted nothing more then to rush over there and pull her into a tight hug but I refrained. It made me upset that she had been hurting all this time I had known her.

She always acted so tough, as if nothing could break her, that i could never come look past her facade to see this side of her- who she really was.
I felt a little hurt that she was keeping this to us, but that was quickly vanished away when I realised how hard that would be for her. It would be challenging for her to go backwards and break down her walls that she probably struggled so hard to build. Hopefully one day she would tell us about her past or at least tell Luke, because I didn't want her to be hurting alone with only herself to fall back on.

Shaking my head, I continued to listen in on them, feeling a little bit guilty for intruding.

"Hey, hey look at me...shhhh." Luke composed his anger,  loosening his hold on her before bringing his left hand up to her face. He stared gently into her eyes, softly caressing her cheek with his thumb.

"I-I've had bad experiences with relationships in my past and...
W-when you gave me the letter I j-just didn't know what to do" she covered her mouth, her hand trembling.

"I'm not w-weak" her voice cracked as she choked on a sob, small tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I-I'm strong! I know I am! T-this isn't me...I promise." She splattered out as she tried to wipe her tears away.

"Sky stop"

"I don't need a fucking you! I don't need anyone to make me feel anything! All I need is myself!" Her nostrils flared up in anger as she glared at Luke through watery eyes. Anger was evident in her features but hurt overpowered that emotion.

Luke stared at her intensely, his eyes filled with an emotion too intense to describe.

"Move out of my way!" She screamed, pushing hard at his chest. Luke stumbled back but not before he grasped her wrists, pulling her with him.

"I'm not going anywhere." He whispered. She glared at him, her bottom lip trembling again before she broke down into his arms.

My heart clenched at the broken expression on Luke's face. He wrapped his arms around her, whispering soothing nothings into her ear as she clung onto him with every strength she had.

Slowly pulling away, Luke gently held her face in his hands, bringing his face closer to hers, before he pulled her to him, capturing her lips in a blissful kiss.

A smirk slowly formed upon my lips, before I immediately turned around so I wasn't intruding in on their moment.

I dashed around the corner, my feet not taking me very far as i bumped into a very muscular chest.

Instant déjà vu hit me as I could recognised that smell from anywhere.

Blake.

Somehow his cologne put me into some kind of frenzy. His smell drove me crazy every time I inhaled it through my nose. It had that spicy musk scent, empowered with masculinity. What seemed to feel like electric shocks, spiralled up my arms as soon as his wrapped around my waist to steady me.

Looking up, I smiled sheepishly at him- hiding the fact that I was just obsessing over his smell.

"We need to stop meeting like this kitten." A small smirk tugged at his lips as he stared down amusingly at me.

Smiling brightly at him, I waved him off, before he took my hand and pulling me to his side. I giggled as he dragged us away from where Luke and sky were supposedly 'kissing'.

"I want to take you somewhere after school" he stated. My heart fluttered but I ignored it raising my eyebrow at him.

"Where do you want to take me?" I questioned.

"Somewhere I've never taken anyone before" he replied, holding my waist tightly.

I smiled lifting my head up so I could see his face.

"Do I have a choice?" My voice was teasing as I poked his nose.

He chuckled boyishly only before his voice went serious.

"No"
