My shy mafia princess

Bellas pov

,,HEYY" Lukes running toward me and waves with his hand.
He's wearing black trousers with a black shirt.
He looks good and the way he's running...

,,Hey! Sorry did you wait long?" he says with a worried face.
He was worried for me..
,,No no! Not long.."
Just 20 minutes.
But that's okay. I came here earlier on purpose. I like being earlier cause the schools more empty.

,,Then let's go in!" he says.
He seems very happy and excited.

I blush. He doesn't feel uncomfortable around me then.

We enter the gate and he leads me to our classroom. The first lesson we have together. Biology.
We sit together, even though I tried to refuse. I said he must have already a partner but he said only that his partner died yesterday.
I smiled at him, surprised by this kinda joke.
That wasn't funny but I don't want him to feel uncomfortable.

So now we sit together and the classroom is still empty. We're the first ones who arrived.

,,Soo" Luke leans back on his chair and crosses his arms ,,Tell me, what brings you to think that people don't like you" he says expressionless.

What?

,,Uhm..I-I..I..uhm"
,,You?" he says challenging.

I blush. I told him just yesterday!

,,Bella. Speak. Just speak. We're the only ones here."

,,I..I don't think..people like the way I am..and..h-how I look" I let my face sink.

Luke widens his eyes and I don't know if I imagined it but I think I saw enjoyment in his eyes for a brief moment.

,,So you think you ugly?"

,,Wha-? No...Yeah. Yes"
I want to cry. That's so embarrassing

,,Bella. Look me into my eyes"

I don't want to. I'm probably red and look weird.

,,BELLA"

Suddenly people enter the room and rescued me from the situation.
One of them was Brandon, holding the 2 girls under his arms again.
When he enters the classroom his gaze instantly wandered to Luke and a look in his face come which I couldn't interpret.
Then his eyes fixes mine and I immediately look away.
—
The lesson starts and I can feel Lukes gaze on me. But I try my best to secretly cover my face from him with my arm and hand.

,,Psst" he whispers near my ear.
,,What?!" I whisper back.
,,Why are you always wearing big hoodies?"

What? Why's that important?

,,Why do you ask?" I whisper curious.

,,hmm nothing important" he just answers casually.

Weird.

After the lesson I went to the bathroom. The whole hallway is quiet and empty right now cause everyone have classes right now. But my sports lesson was canceled so I have a break.
