Luke's POV.

I swing my backpack over my shoulder and I walk out of my last class which is calculus, I don't even know how I made it all the way to the end of this day with this awful hangover.

"Hey, Luke, wait up!" Shouts Garrett as he jogs up to me.

"I don't think I'm supposed to be talking to you, man." I rub my forehead.

"Oh c'mon, it was just a stupid prank and if it makes you feel any better, Reign was the one who came up with the idea." He says.

"And you still went through with it." I sigh.

"You wanted me to say no to Rei? She's the boss lady, I would never," He raises his hands in the air, surrendering.

I roll my eyes at him.

"Luke!" Abigail squeaks, walking towards us and grabbing my arm.

I'm really not in the mood for this.

"I guess I'll see you later." Garrett punches my shoulder and hurries towards the exit.

Fuck, man, you can't even help me get out of the situation?

Abigail starts dragging me in a certain direction.

"Where are we going?" I follow involuntarily, she giggles in response and I fight back the urge to roll my eyes.

She opens the door to coach Madison's office and yanks my bag from my shoulder, dropping it on the floor.

"I missed you." She starts feeling my chest, planting kisses along my jaw.

I sigh, shifting my eyes to the ceiling and waiting for it to be over, by it I mean girls acting like I'm their own personal fuck toy. I guess I can't really blame anyone since it's entirely my fault-

"Whoa whoa whoa," I grasp her hands on my belt buckle. "Slow down there, Missy," I release a small chuckle.

"I'll be quick." She drops to her knees and continues working on my belt, I blink down at her.

"Abigail? sweet Abigail." I pull her arm, helping her up.

"What's wrong?" She touches the side of my face, looking concerned.

"I'm not in the mood," The words come out lower than I intended, Abigail laughs.

"Not in the mood?" She doesn't believe me.

"Yep." Even I don't believe me.

It's not like I don't wanna do stuff with Abigail, I do. But the thing is I'd be fantasizing about her, It's happened twice now and the only way I could stop it from happening again is if I actually fuck who-shall-not-be-mentioned and get her out of my head but until then... I'm cock blocking myself.

Yeah, that's a thing now.

"Wow, only men on tv pull that kind of shit," She folds her arms over her chest, giving me a look of suspense.

"I know but I really am not in the mood and-" I pause.

And what?

"And I'm kinda seeing someone." I lie, scratching the back of my neck.

"If Luke Richardson is seeing someone then I'm a virgin. impossible. Dude if you don't want to have fun with me, just say so, you don't have to fucking lie to me." She says.

I feel like I should actually start seeing someone and prove her wrong.

"Noted," I pick up my bag from the floor, she adjusts my varsity jacket and smiles up at me.

"I'm too hungover to smile back." I turn to open the door, she laughs behind me.

"Belt." She reminds me as we walk out.

"Right," I start fixing my belt as Abigail closes the office door after us, the hallways are now empty, well, almost.

Reign is making her way to the exit, she looks at me, drops her gaze to my hands on my belt then to Abigail.

She looks to her side and laughs to herself, shaking her head.

Seriously? Of all people, it had to be her?

"Hey, Rei?" Abigail waves at her.

"Hey, Abby." She sends her a nod.

She shifts her gaze to me but she doesn't say anything, as expected. She just rolls her eyes at me and walks passed us.

I release a scoff of disbelief.

I literally didn't even say a word to her and she rolled her eyes at me.

"I guess I'll see you later." Abigail whispers in my ear, kissing my cheek and walking in the other direction, back to the locker rooms I'm guessing.

I continue heading to the exit, right behind Reign.

I know it looked like Abigail and I did something in that office and she's probably judging me in that pretty head of hers.

"It's really not what you're thinking." I say behind her.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?" She turns her head to look at me.

"I said it's not what you're thinking, we were just talking." I repeat myself.

"Geez, Richardson, did I ask? I don't think I asked," her sassy tone has me smiling to myself.

"Reign?" I call.

"My name," She responds rudely, without looking back at me this time.

"Dude, c'mon, I'm talking to you," I jog to catch up to her, grabbing her arm and spinning her around, she sighs, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"What?" Her eyes travel behind me, avoiding eye contact.

"Can we be serious for once?" I request in a serious tone, "Please?" I add.

"Go ahead," She gestures with her hand, giving me her attention.

"No, not just me, you too."

"Serious about what?"

"Us." I point between us.

"Ew, no, fuck you, there is no us." She wrinkles her face in disgust and tries to walk, I grab on to her arm to stop her.

"Stop being such a child, I'm being fucking serious with you right now." I say.

"Are you?" She tiptoes, surveying my face like she's searching for the seriousness.

I smile.

"Ha!" She points at my face, "You smiled so I don't think you're being that serious." She shrugs.

I place my hand on her jaw, the other one on the back of her neck, holding her in place and making her look at me.

"If you kiss me, I will knee you." She warns, her gaze full of fury.

"Do it." I dare, leaning in.

"Don't you dare." It comes out as a whisper, she takes a step back and I take one forward.

I dart my tongue to lick her lips, "Do it." I whisper.

"Ugh!" She groans, shoving me. "I hate you."

"Do you, though?" I smirk, eyeing her in that pretty black sundress.

She doesn't respond, she turns around and continues walking.

We step out of the school, Reign starts walking backwards, looking back at the building, she flips off the school.

"So you are a child." I say, she shifts her hands to me.

"Reign?!" Ariana shouts from somewhere around the parking lot, we both turn to look.

They are all standing by Garrett's car but they're with a guy that I don't quite recognize.

"Later," I playfully salute to her.

"No, you're coming with." She grabs my hand.

"I'm too hungover for group chats, I just wanna shower and fall asleep on the cold floor." I whine, she looks at me and laughs.

"You really need to stop drinking everyday." She tells me as we saunter to where they're standing.

We reach them and I lean my back against the car next to Garrett's, looking at the stranger as he stares and smiles at Reign.

The fuck?

"Hey, Reign," the stranger greets her with the biggest smile as he tucks his hands in his pockets.

"Hunter, hey." She responds, sounding surprised.

"Just hug already," Says Mason, giving Reign a small push, she stumbles, sending him a disapproving look before going in for the embrace.

I watch as he closes his arms around her waist, tightly.

I have a feeling this Hunter character is going to be a very big problem.

They pull away and she backs up, standing next to me again.

Now it's awkward and silent because Hunter and Reign are looking at each other while the rest of us are looking at them.

Does she like him?

Judging by the way he's looking at her, I can tell that they didn't have sex, he looks forward to it though.

"Soo..." I clear my throat, "How did you guys meet?"

"At a naked party." They respond at the same time and then they smile at each other because of it.

Fuck's sake.

I shift my gaze to Mason, remembering the time he told me they were going to a naked party.

I thought he was kidding.

He notices my look and just shrugs.

I make eye contact with Garrett, he smirks and shakes his head at me, "Pussy," he mouths to me.

I show him my middle finger.

"So we were going to the bowling alley, you guys coming?" Ariana looks back and forth between Reign and myself.

"No, I have stuff to take care of at home." I mean a hangover to nurse.

"I have a shift at Shake n' Sip in like two hours and I have to get home before that so, maybe next time?" Reign asks, biting on her lip.

Hunter grins at her, I don't think he's taken his eyes off her.

"Too bad, I was actually going because of you." Says Hunter.

I feel like commenting.

Should I comment?

"Aww." Says Ari.

"Next time." Reign smiles at him like he's sweet or some shit.

He's really not.

"Okay, can I call you tonight?" He asks.

"Oh wow, dude, what's next? you gonna ask her to fuck you in the back of your car?" I blurt out.

Garrett chuckles, Ariana widens her eyes in shock, Reign snaps her brows together at me in confusion and Mason whispers a, "Dude."

"What?" I lift my shoulders, "He sounds pussy whipped and I'm pretty sure he hasn't even hit yet." I point out.

"And who the fuck are you supposed to be?" Asks Hunter, narrowing his gaze at me.

"Luke fucking Richardson, don't act like you haven't heard of it and the real question here is, who the hell are you, Mr can I call you."

"Okay, we're done here." Reign grasps my arm, dragging me away, "Call me." She says back to him.

"Football rematch this Friday, show up or I'm kicking you off the team myself!" Mason shouts after me as I wreck my arm from her grasp.

"I don't care if you're pissy, you're still giving me a ride home." She says with a small laugh, I don't respond.

"Luke fucking Richardson, huh? You finally own up to it." She speaks again.

"Hunter? That's Hunter?" I look at her, walking beside me.

"Cute, isn't he?" She nudges my shoulder, I don't respond so she speaks again, "I know I said that I kneel before no one but Hunter has a face I'd like to look up to while taking him deep, deep in-"

I halt, glaring at her.

She busts out laughing.

"It's not funny." I start walking.

"What? I'm not allowed to share fantasies with my favorite nemesis?" She pinches my jacket.

"I'm your only nemesis and no, don't share." I pull out my car key to unlock my car.

"Aw, sweetheart, don't be jealous, I'll only do it once if that makes you feel any better." She jokes.

"Shut up and get in." I say as I open the car door and get inside. She settles on the passenger seat and buckles up.

"Hey, how come you've never invited any of us to your house?" She sounds serious as I press the ignition button.

"Reign, if you want to go to my house, all you have to do is ask." I reverse out of the lot.

"Can you take me to your house?" She asks, I turn to stare at her, thinking it's another joke.

She looks pretty serious.

"Fine." I drive.
