Pic above is Gabe.
Maraline wasn't at her house when Luke went to pick her up the next day for school. "She already left." Her mother told him when she answered the door. Walking away confused he texted her.
L: Hey, where are you? I came to get you but you weren't there.
M: Oh, sorry about that. Someone else came and got me. I'm at school with him right now!
L: Him?
M: His name is Gabriel. He's really sweet. He saw some people picking on me one day and I guess he wanted to get to know me. :)
L: Gabriel? Mari, what's his last name?
M: Realor. Why?
L: Just wondering.. I'll see you in a bit.
M: Two dots. Are you okay?
L: Yeah. Im fine. Finger must've slipped haha. See ya.
M: yep!
Luke sighed as he put his phone in his pocket. 'shes with someone else.' He thought as his heart began to ache. 'what if he makes a move on her. My Marigold. The girl who stole my heart.. What if he steals hers?' As these heartaching thoughts raced through his head he finally arrived at school. 'I need to find her.' Luke entered the school looking everywhere for her. Finally he spotted her with... Someone elses arm around her shoulder. 'Who the fuck is that' Lukes face was heating up and he felt his hands curl into fists and his nails dig into his palms. Some people took notice of this and moved away. Others simply watched as Luke walked up to Maraline and her new found friend. "Hey Marigold." Luke said ignoring the new guy.
"Marigold huh? I like that," Gabe looked down at Maraline. "Beautiful nickname for a beautiful girl."
"That's my nickname for her, it has been since we were little. I'm the only one that calls her that." Luke tried standing ground. He hated the way Marigold sounded when he said it. It sounded perfect and he hated it.
"Its just a nickname. Anyone can use it blue eyes. How about we let the lovely lady decide if I can call her it?" Luke turned to Mari as Gabriel gestured a hand towards her.
"Umm. It is kind of a special nickname but you don't mind Luke. Do you?" She smiled at him. 'oh how perfect that smile is' Luke thought as he looked at her.
"I-"
"Great!" Gabe cut him off short. "Well Marigold. Don't you think we should get to class?"
"The bell hasn't rang yet and I haven't seen you in any of her classes." Luke protested. He grabbed Mari by her waist and protectively held her.
"Sorry mate, are you her boyfriend?"
"No...?"
"Brother?"
"No."
"Then fuck off mate. I see no need for you to hold her like that and be protective over her. If the lovely lady wants to hang out with me then she shouldn't be held back."
"Mari?"
"Maybe it won't be bad to get to know others Luke. It won't hurt to get to know Gabe."
"I'll see you in class Mari." Luke sighed softly and walked away from the two.
