Chapter  number TBD ⎸ Homecoming? yes or no 

L U K E 

"You're sure you have the flowers "

" Yes Luke," Oliver says annoyed

" And the confetti? "

" Yes, Luke! How many more things do you have to check "

" Just one more, how about the flowers? "

" I've got it, now come on before we're late " He grabs my arm leading us to the car

" Wait wait wait the posters " I grab the posters before I make my way out of the house

I enter the car as Oliver inserts the key to start the car

I tap my foot trying to assure myself that everything will be okay and they is no reason to worry.

" Nervous ? "  

He pushes me up to the door to ring the door bell

" Go man, you've got this " He encourages me

I gently nod at him and ring the doorbell

As the door begins to open I feel the dryness in my throat

" Hi Luke ! "

" Hey Char, uh could you come with me real quick ? "

" Oh yeah sure "

I lead her to the car

" Oh actually can you get me a water first, sorry I haven't had water all morning and I'm truly parched "

" Why didn't you get water ?! You could die you know, I'll be right back " She rushes into the house and I grab the poster from the car while Oliver positions him self on the other side of the car

My eyes follow char as she runs out the house " Here you go " , she pants out of breath

" Thank you so much " 

I place the glass of water and ice on top of the car

" Wha- I thought- "

* plays random song *

The sound of the song cuts her off

I watch as her facial expression change from confused to even more confused

" Who's playing that music ? "

" Charlotte ? "

" Yeah ? "

I pull out the sign saying  " I don't really know what else to say accept will you go to' Hoco with me ? ' "

She slightly turns her head

She places her head down in her arms

I here her voice break and crack as she says my name, " Luke " 

The tears that come running from her eyes having meaning behind them, she looks ... hurt ? Upset? Confused ?

" W-what happened, are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry I just thought- "

" No " She chocks out before continuing  " I'm just surprised and super super grateful  "

" Oh, I thought I did something wrong - "

She cuts me off by hugging me tightly with her arm hooking over my neck

" Thank you " She whispers into my ear

" Anytime " I whisper back

" Oh and if you didn't already figure it out, yes, I will most definitely go to homecoming with you" 

She unhookes her arms from me and smiles

of course I smile back

I give a thumbs up to Oliver, signifying to pop the confetti 

The confetti goes off and I can feel Charlotte immediately tense around my arm that is on her hip still

" Oh my gosh " She laughs

He runs up to her, " Hi Charlotte  ! " 

She leans towards the other side of me to hug him , " Hi Oliver " 

" I'm glad you said yes because I spent hours and hours listening to Luke plan this thing and - "

She cuts him off by not hugging him but hugging me

tighter than last time

I hear Oliver chuckle before she lets go

" Green's your favorite color? " I question his strange answer

" Your not any better , you're favorite color is light pink " He exclaims

" Because it's literally the best color ever duh "

" I beg to differ, you know- ", I cut him off with my next sentence 

" Pinks better and you just can't admit that "

" No, green's better "

" No pink "

" No green "

" Pink ! "

" Green ! "

" Pin- "

Chase cuts me off by throwing a pillow at the both of us , which only end up hitting Chase" Both of you shut up " 

" Chase ", I yell

" which color is better, pink or green ? " I question

" neither, blue is the best "

" Ew " Luke and I say in unison 

" What's wrong with blue ?  It's the color of the sky"

" Either way pink is the best "

" It's - "

" It is . End of discussion "

" Blue's better " Chase whispers before heading to the kitchen 

" Want me to order Fridays ? "

" Yes please ", I lay down on the couch

" Are you staying for dinner Luke? "

" Uh I mean- I won't want to intrude on your family time so I'm just gonna - "

I shove his shoulder not letting him finish his sentence 

" Stop it, you know you're not intruding on anything. It's Fridays for goodness sake "

" Charlotte - "

" Please ?? Chase wants you to stay don't you chase "

" Huh " Chase yells

" Can Luke stay for dinner? "

" Yeah of course "

" See ! "

" Fine " He responds, trying to hide his smile 

" Yay " I lift from the couch to give him a quick hug before I fall back down

" foods coming in about an hour guys " Chase notifies us

We thank him before Luke turns on the tv and asks me what channel I want to watch
