I gritted my teeth in aggravation as I threw a pillow at my best friend sitting on my bed “Can you just shut the fuck up?!” I lowly growled as I glared at them my glasses falling down the bridge of my nose ever so slightly as I felt my face grow red in anger. My friend caught the pillow and laughed as he looked at me giving me the you lost grin. I huffed angrily as I turned back around in my chair and continued studying for my big test tomorrow.
“Come on~ you’re so uptight, you nerd!” his sing song voice made me fist my hands in agitation and I stood up and looked at him. Not saying anything I went over to him the confused look on his face gave me satisfaction. As I smiled evilly and grabbed his hand I pulled him to my door slamming it in his face locking it.
“now stay out until I’m finished!” I angrily spoke as I returned to the open text book of algebra on my desk and sighed. Not even five minutes passed before I heard knocking at my door. Laying my head on the desk I groan as I get up and open the door and Lucas stared back at me grinning. Before I could slam the door shut he put his foot in the doors way.
“Ow! Come on Ash don’t be so mean about it I promise to behave” his finger made a halo around the top of his head and I huffed laughing softly. Lucas made his way to my bed and sat down as I decided to give up studying and sat next to him leaning my head on his shoulder closing my eyes.
“Sorry I got mad earlier I’m just really freaking out about this test… if I don’t pass then I wont graduate” my voice came out shaky as I inhaled and let out a long shaky breath.
My eyes met his and I couldn’t help but smile, his face was full of worry for me but he always found some way to joke about something to help me stop stressing. He leaned down and rested his forehead onto mine. A large smile was planted on his face as we both closed our eyes and relaxed in the tender moment before pulling away, this was a little tradition we had if one of us needed to chill out. His auburn curls were dishevelled; he must have been trying to tame them with gel this morning, but obviously gave up halfway through.
“Ash, after your test tomorrow I have something to ask you” his slightly husky, low voice made me shiver slightly as I let a sly grin lay on my face.
“Now Mr Lucas I was unaware that you were able to be serious in any situation” my voice came out in a fit of small giggles as he softly punched me pretending to pout.
Lucas was always there for me when he use to go to school as well, he is a year older than me so we only got to spend lunch breaks together, but it was nice. Most the girls in my year use to destroy my things and leave death threat letters if I didn’t back off from Lucas. He was always popular and I found it funny, because every time he went to get lunch girls would flock to him like he was an invisible magnet. His grey blue yes, auburn curls and well-built body was something girls would kill for in our school, but apparently Lucas was stupid because he chose a nerd like me as a friend.
I use to call him crazy, because when I transferred to this school every one teased me but the first thing Lucas ever said to me was ‘Your beautiful’, it made me burst out laughing. Back then I was chubby but thanks to puberty, I ended up being thin and curvy. My once dull, lifeless brown hair seemed to glow with health now and my green eyes had life in them. I thank Lucas for my transformation, because he always supported me with my abusers and bad friends. There was one night that I pretend to forget but can’t, we decided to go to a party together, but got separated amongst the crowd. I was drinking, like every other teen, but someone had pulled me into a corner and somehow before I could register with my drunkard façade that the guy was trying to have sex with me. I soon tried pushing him off, but he forcefully held me and I panicked. Luckily enough before he could get any further than ripping my shirt, Lucas found me. He was so angry it scared even me at the time, let’s just say it was the first time I’ve seen him beat into anyone.
I stood there shaking viciously; Lucas draped his jumper over me and helped me into the oversized piece of clothing. I wasn’t able to speak but he just put an arm around my shoulder and drove me home. I loved his car; it was an old Chevy so the seat was one long connected seat. I spent the drove back to his place cuddled into his side softly shaking as he held me tightly with arm, driving with the other. That night I stayed over at his place because he didn’t want my parents to find out about what nearly happened. We slept in the same bed, cuddled into each other but Lucas being the gentleman he is, didn’t try a thing, I was a little disappointed but I was heavily drunk as well.
The slight tug of my chin being pulled upwards snapped me out of the past memory, I hadn’t realised I was shaking, condition response when I remembered that night. Lucas looked worried and I just smiled patting his arm.
“Chill Lucas, I’m fine, sorry, I was just remembering something” my voice came out in a whisper as he sighed and leaned our foreheads together again, knowing not to question it.
“Okay mum, you better get back to studying” he teased as I smacked his arm and got up putting my black fashionable reading glasses back on as I sat at my desk, racking my untamed curls over my left shoulder. I heard him get up and glanced at him confused, but just got that annoying goofy grin.
“I am going to get dinner for us and tell your mum I’m staying the night, since I am her favourite child” he laughed as I growled and threw my spare pen at him before he escaped.
He loved teasing me about being my mums favourite because, well, my mum loved him. The first time he stayed over she thought he was my boyfriend; I nearly died from embarrassment as Lucas laid on the floor laughing and it sucked. Since then my mum and Lucas keep each other up to date on my life, because they both apparently have nothing better to do in their lives. I must admit, mum has been a lot happier lately, since dad passed away she never smiled and I never saw her. She immersed herself in work while I focused on school and study. Finally she has started to become normal, Lucas likes to pretend he doesn’t know but I told him about dad and how mum dealt with it. I really appreciate Lucas and everything he does, he’s a great guy and likes to look up to his title of being a joker.
I look at my book and sigh rubbing the bridge of my nose, mums laughter drifts up the stairs making me smile. My life was on a steady road, sometimes it might detour but I’m happy either way. I finish my revision for my test tomorrow and sigh, I am so tired but I agreed to watch Anabelle with Lucas because it’s his favourite horror movie. I’ve never seen it but apparently it’s about a doll and the thought of that alone has me scared shitless.
The movie wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be which was a little relieving. I still jumped at certain scenes and Lucas of coarse thought it was hilarious, which he got slapped for every time he laughed. It was late when we went to bed; I fell asleep before Lucas naturally. I had been studying way too much for my brains liking. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyD2Yyidn7

The sound of a deafening, unappealing beeping filled my room echoing off the walls. Groggily I groan and tap around finally finding the off button to my alarm clock, a sigh escaped the figures lips next to me. It took me a while to figure out Lucas had snuck into my bed again.
“You little rat!” I swing my pillow hard into the back of his head, causing him to have a rude awakening.
“What the hell?! Ash!?” his voice was heavy with sleep and sounded amazing but I just sat there grinning wide as I grabbed my towel and escaped to the bathroom, locking the door.
“You loved it!” I yelled from my safety of the bathroom erupting into laughter as I started the shower making the temperature just right for my sensitive skin. A sigh escapes my lips as I relax into the water and et it run down my face, through my hair. As I shower I think about the things I studied for my test and smile.
I finish my shower and get out fully dressed in my high school uniform, it was bland and boring. I put on my glasses and let my naturally wavy hair to dry naturally. Lucas was already eating breakfast that my mum had left us, she must have of left for work earlier.
I sit down next to him and elbow his ribcage as I giggle and take a piece of toast grabbing my school bag.
“don’t forget to lock the door when you leave “ I yell heading to school. I didn’t enjoy school anymore but I was graduating today, thank the gods for that. Pleased with the distance of the school I put my earphones in and listen to the familiar, soothing sound of my music. I lived for my walk to school, it gave me a chance to listen to my music without people interrupting me.
I just hoped I passed my last exam today, or I am stuck in this hell hole for another year.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb5VRunvG0
