That Boy Next Door [l.r.h.] *UNDER MAJOR EDITING*

|chapter 5|

The rest of the walk home was pretty funny. He cracked jokes here and there, but we were mostly talking about previous relationships. I just happened to get out of a really bad one. I explained the whole story to Luke, for some reason, I just felt as if I could trust him more than anyone else I knew.

"That guy must've been a total loser for leaving you." Luke pouted.

"Thank you Luke. I really appreciate it, I feel like I can tell you anything." I replied.

"Same here." He added.

"Well, here's my house. Well, which is right next to yours so you probably already knew.." I informed him quite awkwardly actually.

"Alright. Well I'll see you tomorrow.' He smirked.

"Okay bye."

I started walking up to my doorstep but I was suddenly stopped by Luke.

"Oh! Also Lila, I almost forgot. I suppose you know I'm in a band with Calum Ashton and Michael. We have a gig tonight at Kerri's Cafe. Do you wanna come?" He asked.

"Oh, Yeah sure! Sounds fun! What time is it at?" I questioned.

"7:30 until 10:30, It's pretty late, but you won't regret it." He answered.

"Alright. Well here's my number, text me more details." I said while handing a small piece of paper with my phone number on it.

"Okay, will do. I'll see you tonight."

"Alright bye Luke." I waved.

I walked into my house and immediately ran into my room but was stopped by my mom.

"Wait! Lila! Did you have a good day at school? Did you make friends? Do you have good classes?" She bombarded me with questions.

"Uhhhhh. Yes, yes, and yes. Gotta go, bye!" I yelled while running you to my room, extremely excited for tonight. The cutest guy in school invited me, me. To his band gig tonight, so many thoughts raced through my mind. I was more excited than I should be.

I asked myself. Why am I getting this excited over this? Do I... like Luke? That's crazy. I'd NEVER have a chance with him. But still, we'll see How things turn out by the end of tonight.
