Wasted Nights {Nolan Sotillo} // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGFNI8gmpAo
I decided to just walk home alone, still dying because of the hot sun. I basically just strutted back in a straight line the same way I came.
A car honked at me as it drove slowly down the road so I just rolled my eyes and flipped off whoever was behind me. It was probably just disgusting cat callers. Then I heard the brakes squeal and I turned around, scared of who might be getting out.
"Tina!" I heard Ashton yell and I realized it was just the three asshats who I was stuck with, Luke at the wheel. They all stepped out of the car and walked onto the curb I was standing on. Luke was speed walking, and he got to me first, putting his hand softly on my arm.
"Why did you just run off like that? You don't even know your way around L.A." he said with an edge in his voice and I rolled my eyes.
"I was mad, and I knew you'd be too stubborn to leave, so I did. I'm good at finding my way, and why did it take you this long to realize I didn't know where to go, it's been like two hours and you didn't care so much earlier so why all of sudden my well being is just sooooo important to you when you couldn't care less if I was hurt or lost or worse", I said it all quickly and left Luke staring at me with his mouth slightly open, and two smirking boys behind him. "to be completely honest, I would rather want to be 20 milies away from here lost and alone instead of being in the same car as you, so I'm just going to walk home".
I turned on my heels and started to speed walk away when I heard someone catching up with me and the colored haired boy had caught up with me. His hair right now was a bluish ourple color, and I liked the way the sun reflected off of it.
"So, what happened?" he asked curiously, his dark eyebrows going up. I chuckled at his face because it was so fake worried (a face I saw in my mom a lot).
I sighed and smiled at him shyly. I didn't really want to talk about Luke with one of his best friends, but who gives a shit? I told him everything that I told Taylor. How we knew each other in high school, now, and how Luke pretended to hate me.
Michael looked down as we walked. "It may be true that he pretended to hate you...but...at least he told you now right? It only lasted for a day. Luke may be moody sometimes, and really awkward with things but...he's a good person. If you take away his mask, he's a really nice person with a caring heart and will do anything for the people he loves", he looked up at me and smiled.
Maybe he was right. I need to stop holding grudges. I should just forgive him now. And that's what I'll do. We'll start over. We need to. Maybe this arranged marriage isn't such a bad thing.

Michael and I were sitting in the living room waiting anxiously for Luke to come back. I had changed out of my clothes that were faded with gross sweat. Now I was wearing jeans and a simple tee shirt.
My phone rang next to me and I looked over to see that Stiles was calling. I didn't even know what time it was in Sydney, but I knew that it wasn't good for him to be calling.
"Hello?" I asked with a light tone because I was happy to hear Stiles voice.
"Dear Tina, about 4 hours ago you said you'd call me back, and I worried about you for those 4 hours because you were talking with Luke and your feelings are very fragile little one. Sincerely, your paranoid best friend"
I rolled my eyes with a smile pulling at my lips. "You're a dork you know that? I'm fine. Apparently Luke was faking the whole hating me thing and yes that hurt like a bitch but..I'm gonna start over with him...I'm staying", I looked down.
