chapter two

// soo blank pages by neck deep has nothing to do with this chapter other than Luke and Michael listening to it but I still decided to link it because it's a really good song. Okay bye (:

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Since it was Saturday, Luke and I decided to drive around downtown and get something to eat. Neck Deep blasted through Luke's speakers as we drove down to Chelsea's Diner, which was a little diner on the strip. We parked, got off, and entered the diner taking our seats. Luke and I sat on separate sides and skimmed through the menu.

"Hello, I'm Lila and I'll be your waitress today. Can I start you guys off with some drinks?"

"Um, I'll have a root beer" Luke said.

"I'll have one too"

With that she left to get our drinks, Luke kept his eyes on her ass. I rolled my eyes and swatted him with the menu. "What the fuck Michael?!" He said as I laughed, "Stop checking our waitress out, that's weird and she's so out of your league"

"I wasn't checking her out, I was admiring her personality from far away" he said picking up his menu and looking at the selections. I shook me head.

Suddenly my phone rung and sure enough, it was Rina calling. I sighed and ignored it. Luke looked up from his menu and smirked.

"Aren't you gonna answer your girlfriend?"

Then I hit him with the menu again, "Jesus Christ" he yelped.

"She's not my girlfriend anymore Lucas"

Lila came and brought us our drinks, then took our orders and left again.

"That's what you always say, then you two have make-up sex and BAM! Bae and bae again"

"Yeah, that's not happening this time"

"Well being the good friend that I am, it is my job to help you get over this 'horrible break up' and take you to a party", he smiles, "Calum's throwing a big party tonight and the whole Senior class is attending, with the exception of some Juniors and a few underclassmen. It's going to be SICK!" He says throwing his hands in the air like he's preaching something about God.

"Well, if it's going to be sick then it's defiantly a party worth going to. But, I'm not getting shitfaced because I have a college interview tomorrow" I explain. He pumps his fist in the air, "This is gonna be a fucking good ass night mate".

I nod in agreement and hope it is too.

Once nighttime falls I find Luke and I driving again but this time to Calum's house. Once we arrived there were already teens shitfaced in the front lawn. We walked inside and are greeted by our friends and some people we didn't even know went to our school.

We made our way through the crowd, grabbing a drink that was passed to us, and meet up with Calum.

"Hey you guys showed up!" He said and we greeted each other in manly hugs, yes, manly hugs.

"Of course, we couldn't miss one of your parties"

He laughed and we all talked about the most random stuff.

"So Mikey, I heard you dumped Rina", Calum brought up.

"Uh, well she kinda dumped me but yeah, we're not together anymore" I shrugged not really caring about the topic.

"I heard she was annoying"

I laughed and nodded, "Yeah she was"

As we continued our conversation Luke ended up heading upstairs with some girl. It didn't seem like a bad idea though, I mean, I should be getting over my breakup. Right? I only had a couple of drinks so I was still pretty sober. I looked around for someone to chat up a bit. My eyes fell on a brunette who was sitting on Calum's couch.
