Star Catcher Chapter 11: Teaching Thomas

Confused, Thomas recalls that he had seen Luke write with his left hand before. When he points it out, Luke casually explains that he is ambidextrous, meaning he can write with both hands. He mentions that using his right hand makes it easier for Thomas to follow along while he writes out the equations.
Thomas is genuinely impressed by this skill, finding it fascinating. He comments on how convenient it must be, and Luke simply shrugs, saying it’s just something he got used to over time. They continue solving math problems together. And Star Catcher Chapter 11 ends with the two of them still studying in the quiet atmosphere of the library.
Chapter 12: Making Plans

Luke instantly becomes cautious and asks Maria what she has told Emily. Maria insists she is innocent—Emily had simply seen Luke at the library with Thomas and was curious about him.
Emily, intrigued, asks for details, believing Thomas to be cute and seemingly into Luke. Luke, flustered, explains that he and Thomas just met, found out they share a class, exchanged numbers, and have been talking all day. He mentions that Thomas even bought him dinner as a thank-you for tutoring and that they plan to meet again tomorrow for lunch, possibly followed by anime and D&D at Luke’s place.

When asked what he likes about Thomas, Luke admits that Thomas is kind-hearted, easy to talk to, and absolutely gorgeous—giving him butterflies. However, Luke worries that Thomas might not even be interested in guys. Maria suggests he ask, but Luke immediately dismisses the idea, calling it ridiculous since Thomas is “way out of his league.”

The player goes on to explain that this is exactly what he was warning Thomas about earlier—Luke sometimes completely spaces out, getting lost in his own world. “It’s weird and creepy,” the player mutters, watching Luke with judgmental eyes.
Ignoring the warning, Thomas still tries to reach out to Luke. He calls his name, but Luke doesn’t respond. His expression is blank, and his body tenses as if he’s fighting off something unseen. Then, suddenly, without a word, Luke turns and runs away.
