"I can not understand why you don't want to visit us anymore. I thought we arranged that!" Your mother spoke angrily into the phone.

"What can be more important than your own family?" she continued.

"I have a lot to study." You got nervous about lying and started playing with your bracelet.

"Honey, take a break from all that studying." You heard your father over the phone and smiled.

"I think I really have to catch up on a few things. I hope you understand. Have a nice weekend." Without waiting for an answer, you hung up.

Shortly thereafter, you took your training clothes out of the closet. It was time to get sporty again. You used to do sports because you enjoyed it. But you knew it would also distract you from some things or some certain people.

There you were again, on your way to the party.

Your legs made strange movements because you couldn't decide whether you go there or back home.

"At least you could have put on some pants.", right, there was Luke.

Who managed to pull you into a long deep talk, in which you talked about things you didn't wanted to say at all. And Luke listened to your babble for hours.

Either his parents were therapists or Luke had nothing to do. Well, or he had a big crush on you. But that was unlikely because he stalked Amy Collins far too often.

"Don't you like my short pants?" You raised an eyebrow.

"I do, but-"

"You literally insisted on coming with me, and I insist that you shut up now." You walked faster so as not to have to walk right next to Luke.

You were angry at him not only because he went with you, but also because you didn't know why you were going there yourself. Well, maybe Lilith was one of the reasons. Maybe Lilith was the only reason.

The last person you wanted to meet was Harmony. Or Mr. Eastwood. You knew you would go straight home if you saw them anywhere.

"You know what's weird? I'm hanging out with you for fear you'll tell anyone that Lilith and I kissed. But I can tell everyone you were at that party, too, do you realize that?"

"Everyone has been to this party anyway. But not many have kissed their teacher." Luke made a face.

"Don't forget about Harmony." you reminded him of what you confessed to him the day before.

"Don't make excuses, you screwed it up." He raised his eyebrows, smirking. You really couldn't tell from Luke if he was serious or if he was joking.

"Look, I don't know if we'll find Lilith today, but if we do, I want you to tell her that you didn't like what she did." Luke explained.

"Since when are you my parents?" you snorted, pushing Luke aside.

"What the fuck did I miss?" You looked up from your shoes, noticing someone you weren't expecting.

"Sophie..." you stuttered, stopping.

"Where are you going? And with whom?" You saw Sophie's familiar smirk that she always wore when she saw you next to a boy. That didn't even happen that often.

"I'm helping Y/n with-"

"This is my boyfriend. Oops, now the secret is out! May I introduce you to Luke?" You kissed Luke on the mouth. In hindsight you regret it very much. At least the question was raised whether it would feel good to kiss him. It did not.

"You have a boyfriend? You're lucky! Tell me everything, lovely lovebirds, I want to know everything!"

"Erm, Sophie..." you tiptoed to your friend.

"You're disturbing our date..." you lied. Of course you would never tell her that you're going to this party. After all, the party was top secret and not even Sophie or Scarlett were allowed to know about it.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I'm leaving you now, but tomorrow..." Sophie opened her eyes a little.

"I want to know everything", she whispered.
