A Love Story (3)

Luke ran toward the wallet, but Andrew got to it first. Andrew picked it up and started taking out some cash. Luke's heart stood still.

Luke gulped and said, "That's Emma's. Give it back."

Andrew said, "It's mine now."

"Give it back!" Luke repeated.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Andrew asked.

He shoved Luke and raised his fist.

Just then, Emma returned and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

"None of your business!" Andrew snapped.

"Well, my wallet is my business. Please give it back." Emma said.

Andrew noticed a group of Emma's friends watching nearby, so he did.

Then Emma added, "By the way, I'm not impressed by your bad attitude."

Andrew looked furious but then seemed to have a change of heart.

He gave a weak smile, turned, and walked away.

Emma had seen Luke confront Andrew, and she thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

Luke took heart and asked "Do you want to see a movie tonight?"

Emma's smile seemed to fill the school, and she said, "I'd love to."
