"dude, you need to stop."
"no one cares if their tacos are better!"
"but they are better."
"can't we just order pizza?"
"pizza fixes everything."
"i already said that."
"well, i said it second!"
luke sighed as he listened to his two best friends banter back and forth. they were supposed to be studying, but they'd gotten off topic when calum mentioned ordering food. he should have expected this.
"aren't we supposed to be studying?" luke asked, his voice not really carrying over the noise nick and calum were making.
"...and she was like 'no way i thought i recognized you!'," nick stabbed the couch with his fist in irritation. the couch creaked in protest.
"we've been in the same class as her for five years," calum said. somehow (unbeknownst to luke) they had gotten from food to trisha adams before he could say banana.
"luke, what do you think?" someone (who sounded like calum) asked. luke diverted his attention from the floorboards to the two boys sitting in front of him.
"uh, what?"
nick rolled his eyes. "trisha just asked that new kid michael clifford out."
luke's eyes nearly popped out of his head. he stared at nick with his mouth open, trying to process what he'd just been told.
nick had had a somewhat self-destructive crush on trisha for several years. he'd even told her freshman year, but his dreams were utterly vanquished after just a few rebutting words from trisha. luke couldn't help but feel bad for the poor guy. he wanted to say something to comfort his friend, but he'd never been very good with words.
"sorry mate," calum said. nick just shrugged, averting his gaze from the both of them.
beep beep.
luke's phone beeped in his pocket.
annie: dude you'll never believe what just happened to me!
luke slightly cringed at the word 'dude', but he didn't comment on it.
luke: what??
annie: i just got tickets to ATL!!!!!!!!
annie: i'm like crying
luke: OMFG LUCKYYY
annie: I KNOWWEW!! i can't breathe omg
luke: breathe, annie, breathe haha
annie: ahhhhhh
"what are you doing?"
luke looked up from his phone to find calum and nick looking weirdly at him. apparently luke had been smiling weirdly down at his phone without his consent or knowledge.
"uh, watching cute cat videos?" luke's voice cracked. he didn't want to tell them that he was talking to a girl and that he hadn't told them. it wasn't often that he talked to females, mostly because he was much too shy. and the fact that he was completely invisible to the species.
"no you're not," calum smirked. "are you talking to a girl?"
"what? no," luke nervously laughed, edging farther away from calum on the couch.
beep beep.
"perfect timing," luke mumbled.
"let me see let me see!" calum squealed like a little girl. nick was just watching the two bemusedly.
"no calu --"
calum snatched the phone from luke. luke tried in a fatal attempt to fling his body towards calum and retrieve his stolen phone, but it was too late.
"who's annie?" he asked. luke grimaced. he didn't like the word coming out of calum's mouth.
"a girl."
"well, i guessed that, hemmings."
"give it back to meeee," luke whined. he attempted to pout but calum just stared at him in irritation.
"she likes all time low??"
"yeah...?"
"i'm going to talk to her."
"no!"
calum typed a few messages before tossing the phone back to luke.
"have fun," he grinned.
