who

the two walked into lukes room, which to emilees surprise, was a lot cleaner than she expected originally. luke didnt seem like the type of kid who would keep things clean- literally and figuratively. maybe he didnt do so much of the latter, but his room definitely made it look like he wasnt a hot mess, which he was.

luke gestured for the bed, and emilee smiled awkwardly. she had never been in a boy's house before, let alone his bedroom and his bed. she worried that he would make a move on her, but she assured herself that if he did, she could easily kick him in the balls or whatever to get him off of her.

so, she sat on the bed and smoothed out the blue sheets around her. they were quite soft, and emilee wondered if luke's hair was that soft, too. it seemed like it would be soft, except for the fact that he doused it in hair gel to the point where it was gravity-defying.

"so, what do you think?" luke's voice interrupted emilee's strange meandering thoughts. she furrowed her eyebrows, realizing that he had been talking while she was lost in her own head.

"i said," he reiterated, "you could do all the reading and shit and take notes and whatever we need to do and ill do the actual presentation." luke explained to the girl. luke wasn't much of a reader, and emilee wasnt much of a talker, so it made sense that this would be their plan of attack. she shrugged and nodded.

"okay. so you figure out the book stuff and ill start making the powerpoint." he said, walking over to his small desk, which had a laptop and textbooks that looked like they had never been opened. emilee nodded to herself and got up, collecting her things and walking out of luke's room. but, luke caught her before she could escape.

"where are you going?" he looked quite confused. he got up and walked over to the girl who was half out of the room. he grabbed the door from her grasp.

"i, uh" emilee gestured her hand out the door.

"you can talk to me em, you can tell me anything." he said, getting strangely close to the girl and brushing his hand across her arm. she shuffled slightly but said nothing.
