Today was Thursday and I was so excited for the weekend, I was so in need for a break from this place. Luke had been teasing me all week and Michael just, I don't even know. But today Michael just demanded he was coming over to my house after school, but he said it in front of Luke and then he got 'jealous' and he demanded to come over as well, and then I was like,
"Why doesn't everyone come over, ya know?" I threw my hands up in frustration.
"We will!" Ashton, Calum, and Melanie all said.
"The whole family!" I laughed. Luke all the sudden put his hand on my thigh, running a circle into it, trying to test me for my reaction. I closed my eyes, counted to ten and opened them to see Luke staring right at me, his bright blue eyes piercing through me like he figured me out and it made me scared and I kept fidgeting under his harsh gaze but then he just grabbed my hand and started taking me out of the lunchroom.
"Where are we going?" I managed to squeak out.
"Basement."
"How far away is that?"I questioned.
"Just a few more minutes. I just need to look at you closer, but with all the distractions in the lunchrooms, I couldn't." He shook his head.
"Uh, okay? You're not going to cut my body up are you?" I asked, and he just laughed. Laughed.
"No babe." he smiled at me, pushing a door open, and I finally gained consciousness of the fact our fingers were still intertwined and my cheeks began reddening.
He squeezed my hand because it was dark, but then he just flipped a switch and turned to me and put his hands over my eyes. He guided me to a chair and sat me down, telling me to recline in the chair, so I did so and opened my eyes.
He took me to the schools old planetarium.
"The basement my ass!" I laughed.
He shook his head, smiling down at his lap, then focusing on the ceiling. He held his hand out, and I hesitantly grabbed it, intertwining our fingers yet again.
"It's so pretty." I breathed, looking at the ceiling.
"Yeah." I looked over, and he was looking at me. The thing he did next, surprised me, but what I did surprised me more.
He kissed me.
And I kissed him back.
