"Did you kiss him?" Lauren asked

Libby shook her head "No I told him that I ain"

"What did he say?" all three of us asked at once

Libby’s eyes filled with tears "He leaned down, and he was about to kiss ht before our lips touched He looked into my eyes and said…"

I noticed Grace’s hands balling into fists

Libby sobbed "He said…he said that kissing ht there was an us outside of being friends"

I closed my eyes

Grace whispered, "Bastard"

"He stepped back, and I swear his eyes looked so sad, but he began looking around Claire had been trying to flirt and dance with Luke froot there He must have seen her I don’t know He looked back atwith hi back to his house to watch movies and that if I needed a ride, he’d take me A few minutes later, I saw him with Claire"

Lauren walked up to Libby and pulled her into her arms "I’m so sorry, Libby He’s just a stupid, scared ass"

I looked at Grace

Sheto kill hian laughing and pulled away from Lauren "It’s okay, really I was stupid to think Luke ever really had any feelings for an, and I’m just in the way"

"No, he doesn’t," Lauren said

I wasn’t so sure about that Maegan had a way of flirting with Luke, and I knew he had , he was going to give her what she wanted

We all sat down and talked for a bitto be able to go to the same school as Luke? What if you, you know, see him on dates?" Grace asked

My heart sank at the idea of Will being at a different school thanwith Luke I didn’t think Luke was a man-whore, but I knew he had already slept with his fair share of girls

Libby shook her head and stood up "I’ll be fine I guess it’s et in the way of our friendship I’et all about Luke Johnson" She turned and climbed back onto her horse She looked down at us and sh school anyway, right?"
