The Underground Kids

Details, Details, Details

I woke up the next day by my phone going off like crazy. I check it to see that it was Jessica calling me non stop. I groan and call her back.

Phone ringing...

"Hello." i said gruntly.

"Ummm HELLO! what the hell happened last night?!"

"Jessica its 2 in the afternoon and its Saturday. I just wanna sleep in."

"You've got your whole life to sleep. Now what happened last night???"

"What the hell are you talking about?" i said as i started to sit up.

"You left Lukes party with Luke!" Did anything happen? Did you get home safely?"

"Omg yes Jessica i made it home safely."

"And Luke?"

"What about him?" I said irritated.

"Did he go home with you? Did he fall asleep in your bed? Is he there right now? Let me see!"

"Omg Jessica what is wrong with you. Luke is not here. He dropped me off and went home. Thats it, end of story."

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to clean myself up.

"Well im coming over to talk over the details "

"Really Jess? Right now?"

"Im walking through your front door as we speak."

"Oh my god goodbye."

I hung up the phone and began to wash my face. I hear Jessica come through my bedroom door and set herstuff down. I walk out of my bathroom to see Jessica sitting on the end of my bed like a little kid ready to hear a bedtime story.

"Spill the beans girl." i sigh as i begin to explain to her everything that happened.

"When we got to the party, his band mate Ash saw me and told me Luke was looking for me. He took me up stairs where Luke was and he took me to his bedroom. When i went in, we started talking and laughing, and then he kissed me. After that, we met up with you downstairs and then he offered to take me home. We got in the car and he drove me home. On the way there we talked about his band and then sat in the driveway and talked a little more. He walked me to my front door and he kissed me goodnight."

I looked at Jessica and she was completely jaw dropped.

"YOU KISSED HIM?!?! TWICE?!?! What the actual fuck Jasmine!"

I giggled.

"It was even that big of a deal. And then the weirdest thing happend after we left the party."

"Like what?"

"Well Luke had forgot his keys in the house so i decided to go across the street."

"Why? Whats across the street?"

"It wasn't a what, it was a who. It turns out that hallway boy lives right in front of Luke. So i went to go talk to him in his garage and he remembered me. And we were just talking and then Luke comes up from behind me. I tried to introduce them but apparently they already knew each other."

"Well duh Jasmine they're neighbors. Of course they're gonna know each other."

"No but it felt like something more that than. It was very hostil and the tension felt so aggressive. I cant explain it. When i told him i was at Lukes for the party, his whole face changed. Like he just lost interest in our conversation."

"Huh.....interesting. Did you ask Luke about it?"

" No. i didnt wanna ruin our night. We were having so much fun and we were connecting. I didnt wanna trash it by talking about another guy."

"Well from the sounds of it, it seems as if they hate each other. What for? I have no clue. But my opinion, i think you should straight up ask hallway boy."

"His name is Leroy."

"Wait who?" Jessica asked concerned.

"Leroy." i repeated.

"Thats hallway boy? Thats the guy you met at school? "

"Yea why? Do you know him or something?" I asked confusingly.

"Nope....never heard of him." Jessica responded.

Thats was completely weird.

"Okay but what if Luke wont tell you? Then what are you gonna do?"

"Well then im gonna have to ask Leroy."

"NO! Dont ask him" Jessica said defensively.

"Why the hell not? Jessica what is going on with you? Your acting weird."

"Im fine, really. Look dont ask Leroy about Luke okay? You saw how upset he got when you just brought up his name. You said it yourself that he acted like the conversation didnt even matter to him after you brought Luke up. If you just met Leroy, the chances of him opening up to you are slim to none. And after finding out that you literally hang out with Luke, bumped your chances down to nearly impossible."

"I just dont wanna mess up a good thing with Luke by asking to many questions. I mean its not like im his girlfriend or anything, so i really have no right to know anything."

"Awww you wanna be his girlfriend." Jessica teased.

"No i dont. I just wanna know if im wasting my time and energy, thats all."

"Well it sounds like you already know what you've gotta do."

She was right. I knew i had to do something. From the moment i met Luke, i was so resentful. I labeled him before i even got to know him. The more i spent time with him and learned more about him and saw him for who he was, he grew onto me. I took a chance with him, and got a pretty good guy out of the result. But then on the other hand, Leroy. When i first met him, he was so mesmerizing. He sent chills down my spine & makes me stutter when i talk. I get so nervous around him, i start shaking at times. Even just the thought of him alone. He so mysterious and down to earth, you just wanna be there for him and learn more about him. He just has this insane aura that draws me towards him. I dont know what it is, but something about him feels familiar. Like i know him or we've met before. I can look at him and know he'll never hurt me. He's gentle. He makes you feel like your getting all of him for who he is. Hes raw. And im drawn toward it.
