The Punk Next Door

Calum and I were sitting on my couch watching the time go by. It was a Saturday afternoon and one of the most boring. Cal looks at his watch and jumps up, "I've got to go work my shift at the servo," he says and gives me a kiss on the forehead. "Love you," we both say as he leaves. My phone buzzes, it was a text from my best friend and almost sister, Savannah. "Hey Sky! I'm in town this week, do you want to go to get some shakes and meet my boyfriend?" the text read. I respond and go to my room to get ready. We were going to the "shake shack" we've always went to as kids. I was picking something to wear when I here the door open. Cal comes in and takes off his shoes. "Busted water pipe, so I don't have to work!" he says in excitement. "Well good because Savannah's in town and invited me to go to the shake shack, she would love to see you," I tell him. "Sounds great to me," he says putting his shoes back on. "Oh and her new boyfriends coming to, so you can see if he's up to standards," I say wiggling my eyebrows. Calum nods and we head out the door. We walked to the shake shack since it wasn't far. I spotted my sister and her boyfriend, He was tall with sky blue eyes, a slightly dirty blonde quiff and a black lip ring that fitted his lip really well. Me and Cal give Savannah a hug and give a handshake to her boyfriend. "Hey I'm Luke," He says with an thick Australian accent. He was cute, good for Savannah. Me and Cal introduced ourselves. We got a table and looked at the menu. "Are you from Sydney, mate?" Luke asks. "Yeah, you?" Calum asks back. Luke nods, "I feel like ive meet you before," Luke says while thinking. He zones out and jumps in his seat. "Northwestern Christian College!" He quietly yells and points up like Einstein. "Pre-school!" Cal yells back. "Ah its nice to see you Cal!" Luke says giving him a hug again. "You too!" Cal says back. "You know Ashton lives right around the corner to!" Cal says still shaking. "Ashton Irwin?!" Luke asks even more excited. "Yeah, since we've moved we've been like best friends! He will be glad to see you!" Calum says. Me and Savannah were watching the conversation go back and forth like a ping pong match. "So Luke and My family's are thinking of moving back here," Savannah says to make them even more excited. "You Should, Its great around hear!" Calum says. "Yeah, if your looking for a place their is two apartments for sale right next to me and Cal's" I say calming everyone down. I send her a link. Luke gives me his number so I can send it to him. They both text their families. "Can me and Luke stay with you guys for a while?" Savannah asks slightly awkward. "Yeah thats cool," I say with Cal nodding in agreement. We went back to my place. My mom walked through the door and started squealing when she saw Savannah. My mom is like Savannah's second mom. Savannah moves over and reveals Luke. My mom sees his charming self and smiles, "And who's this?" She says with a smirk. Savannah introduced them and my mom loved Luke. I told her that they were going to stay with us for a while and she was totally fine with it. It was late and everyone was getting into their pajama's. Calum got into gym shorts and took off his shirt. "Babe, do you know where my shorts are?" Luke asks Savannah. "Come and get them," she says while laughing. He runs out in his "teenage mutant ninja turtle" boxers and grabs them and runs back to the bathroom. Me and Cal both laugh. "Your such a bully Savannah!" I say. She shrugs her shoulders. He comes out dressed and rolls his eyes trying not to smile. He sits down next to Savannah and puts his arm around her shoulder. "So," Cal says with boredom. He gets on his phone and texts Ashton that Luke and Savannah are here. In 5 minutes Ash and CC are at the door. "Lukie!" Ash yells running to jump on him. "Hows it going Ash?" Luke asks while laughing. "Great! How have you been mate?" Ash asks. "Good," Luke says. Ash introduces CC to Luke. Savannah got up to hug CC and ask the same things Ash asked Luke. It was late at night and everyone was falling asleep. It was one of those things where you end up asking each other the stupidest questions because your half asleep. "Do you think blue would look good in my hair?" Savannah asks everyone. We all nod, zoning out at the ceiling. We were laying on the ground with all of our heads touching. Shirtless Ash fell asleep on my knees. I feel asleep on Cals legs, and Luke and Savannah were still up. He was sitting and twirling her hair. They had a half hour conversation about Greenday and cats. And then fell asleep. And everything was just,

Perfect.

Wait, no.

Punk.
