Luke once again woke up to his mother's light kiss. "Bye, Luke."
"Bye," Luke replied as he watched his mother walk out the door. Today he was in no rush to talk to Jen; he knew she would be disappointed in him. He wouldn't ever want to disappoint her. Luke took his time. Today he made sure he looked very fine, he even used he father's cologne. Luke thought that it might make Jen impressed that he smelled good and then she wouldn't be so angry.
Once again Luke sneaked to Jen's house and knocked softly five times. When Luke saw Jen's smiling face with a bit of nervousness, he couldn't help but feel nervous himself.
"So, what's your answer?" Jen asked still smiling.
Luke started, "Jen, I know this rally means a lot to you but I think that it's very dangerous and-"
"I told you this might be dangerous, but I will do anything to be free, I thought that you would want that," Jen interrupted.
"I do, Jen, but I would rather have to hide than risk my life," Luke said
"So you're not going to come?" Jen asked. Her smile finally turned into a deep frown.
"I'm sorry," Luke said. Then he ran through the back door and to his house. He didn't really care if he was caught; he just wanted to go home.
"Luke?" Luke's dad called. Luke hadn't noticed that he had fallen asleep.
"Yeah?" Luke murmured.
"Dinner time," Mr. Garner said, then got up and left the room. Luke got up and went down so that could eat.
"Luke, why aren't you eating your corn? You love corn." Mrs. Garner said with a worried look on her face.
Luke hadn't noticed that until his mother had brought up that subject. "Things on my mind," Luke said.
"What?" Mr. Garner asked.
"Nothing, Nothing," Luke said.
"What?" Mr. Garner asked again.
"Nothing," Luke said once more.
"What?" Luke's dad took his eyes off the food and looked at Luke.
"Nothing, I'm not hungry!" Luke yelled this time, pushed his plate and went to his room.
Luke had expected his mom or dad to follow him, but to his surprise no one came. Luke just went to sleep; thinking everything the next day would be fine.
