Luke's POV

We all stumbled into the garage one by one, me sitting on the couch with Alex following behind, Reggie throwing himself onto the chair and Bobby looking at the three of us in disbelief. "Get comfortable, why don't you?" he said sarcastically. "I'm gonna go grab my textbook from my room-"

"Ooo I'll come with you." Reggie says as he makes his way out of the chair.

"Why?"

"I'm thirsty, and I want to say hi to your mom." Bobby rolled his eyes and began to walk out, stopping before he completely left.

"Do you guys want anything? We have lemonade, milk, Coca-Cola, and obviously water." Bobby asks Alex and I.

"I'm good. Thanks though." I looked at Alex for a minute then back at Bobby.

"Two waters." Alex rolled his eyes as Reggie and Bobby left.

As I pulled out my binder so we could work on homework, my notebook full of song lyrics fell out next to Alex's foot. I sat still, hoping he wouldn't notice it had fallen, "what's this?" He asks as he bent down from his seat and grabbed the small book. I tried to grab it out of his hand but he quickly pulled it away in response. "What is it?" He opens it up and starts reading through a couple of the pages.

"ALEX SERIOUSLY GIVE IT BACK!" I put my hand out waiting for him to set it in my palm. Instead he just looked at me and rolled his eyes

"Crooked teeth? Crooked teeth and your Rockstar hair and your classic style and your sideway smile" I could tell by Alex's face he was putting the pieces together. "Is this a-"

"Song? Yeah..."

"I'm guessing it's about Reggie, kind of a cruel title though." He said as he finally put the notebook back in my hand and laughed at his comment.

"Reggie doesn't need to know it's about him, he's kind of clueless, he wouldn't realize even if I was singing it to him."

"wow what a friend you are" Alex says as he grabs the pillow from his side and throws it at me. "Speaking of Reggie, I don't think he likes me very much."

I let out a chuckle just by the thought of Reggie not liking someone. He loves everyone, well everyone except his dad. "What makes you say that?"

"He was just staring at me this morning, and I'm pretty sure I heard him and Bobby whispering about me earlier."

"Ignore them, both of them." Alex looked at me for a moment, "I'm sure they weren't saying anything bad, Reggie is the sweetest person, literally ever. He's a golden retriever in human form, he likes you, he's just a little... shy, that's all."

"Yeah..." Before Alex could say another word we could hear Reggie's contagious laugh coming closer.

"GUYS!" Reggie said as she walked into the studio with Bobby trailing behind him, "Carrie said she likes me more then Bobby." Reggie sat down the three drinks then made his way over to the chair.

"Makes sense, I'm a sucky son." Bobby threw his textbook on the ground then looked at Reggie, "c'mon, are you gonna help me get snacks for everyone?"

"Luke?" I looked at Reggie confused after he said my name.

"He asked you!"

"Luke works," Bobby says as he begins to walk out of the garage, "do you want food or not?" I couldn't argue with that so I followed.
