It was the morning after and Luke was in P.E playing football, well, not really playing, he could never be bothered to actually play football unless it was in his football team. P.E was compulsory so a lot of the boys in the year had decided to take football instead of the other option which was swimming, this meant that most of the boys playing were either good or, to put it mildly, crap at football. He and his mate, Matt, were waiting on the sidelines, they had swapped with two other boys 5 minutes in the game. It was now 2 minutes until the P.E teacher, Mr Bolton, would blow his whistle.

"So ,what are you going to do about your Mum then?" Matt asked after Luke told him about the situation.

Luke shrugged, " I don't know, I mean I went on about how I can never visit her, but when I can visit her I never really want to see her anyway.", he began to do stretches when he realised that Mr Bolton was watching them so that he looked busy, " does that make sense?"

"Not really, but maybe if you spent more time with her you would get to know her more?" Matt suggested.

Luke sighed, "Perhaps." He answered.

The girls were on the other side of the field and Luke noticed Catherine smiling at him so he paused before deciding to smile back.

"You and Catherine are getting along well aren't you?" Matt noted.

Luke shrugged again, " yeah, she's alright I suppose."

"Alright? Dude half of the guys in this school can only dream with getting with her, myself included and you say she's alright?" Matt exclaimed incredulously.

Luke paused, " What do you mean by 'myself included'?" He said with a hint of ice in his voice.

"Uh, nothing" Matt said quickly, " anyway it's not me you should be worried about, the new guy Tyler Connery was eyeing her up yesterday, she didn't seem to mind it either." Matt commented.

Luke frowned, Tyler was in goal, he was doing a good job by stopping two balls going in.

"Maybe I should have a word with Tyler." He mumbled to himself.

"Luke he probably didn't mean anything by it, just forget about it man, remember your close to being expelled ." Matt said anxiously.

Luke shook his head, " Don't worry, I don't plan to getting expelled."

"ADAMS, MCKENZIE, YOUR ON NEXT, GET YOUR TWO LAZY BUTTS ON THE PITCH NOW!" Mr Bolton shouted. Luke and Matt sighed before running on the pitch.

Tyler was still in goal and looked as though he was staring at something, Luke followed his gaze and realised he was staring at Catherine.

"Hey Connery, stop staring at my girlfriend or else!" Luke shouted at him.

Tyler frowned, " Or else what?"

"Or else I'll kick your face in, got it?" Luke scowled. Tyler smirked and shook his head dismissively.

The game and started and after some decent passes Matt passed the ball to Luke who took it and ran towards the goal, confident of a chance to get a goal. He caught Tyler staring at Catherine again ,so decided to try something different. When he was close enough to get ready to shoot, Tyler got his head back into the game but not quick enough to realise that Luke had already kicked the ball, and after a brief second the ball smacked right into his face.

Luke pretended to be shocked and ran over to where Tyler was holding his face in his hands and swearing.

"Oh my God Tyler I'm so sorry!" Luke lied loudly, making sure that everyone thought it was an accident.

He then crouched down next to Tyler and whispered " You stay away from my girlfriend, you don't stare at her again otherwise it will be my fist in your face, not a football, got it?" He hissed. Tyler nodded as the teacher came to have a look at the injury.

"Sir I feel terrible, is there anything I can do?" Luke asked anxiously, of course he was pretending but luckily he was a good actor so no one noticed.

"No it's ok Luke, tell the guys that we'll be finishing the lesson here and to get ready in the changing rooms."

"Ok." Luke said, a sly smirk growing on his face,
