Halsey

"Helloo? Earth to Halsey? Anyone home?" Kerri waved her hand in front of Halsey's face, knocking the poor girl out of her thoughts?

"H-Huh? What?" Halsey asked as she rubbed her eyes. She had been day dreaming in class again.

"Good morning sunshine, did you enjoy your small nap?" Kerri asked sarcastically as she gave the girl a playful smile. "I'm about to head to see Cher in the library for our free period, do you want to come with?"

"Of course I do!" Halsey exclaimed. It was like her mood instantly changed at Kerri's words. "Yes, come on, lets go!"

Halsey instantly got out of her set, grabbing her things before her and Kerri walked out of the classroom and made the small trek to the library. Of all the places she loved to be in her school, she enjoyed spending her free time, or ditching classes in, the library. There's a small back section filled with tables and chairs, perfect for her and her friends to just chill out at.

As soon as they walked into the library Cher was by their side and the three girls walked to the back tables and took their usual seats.

"So, Cher, hows your day been?" Kerri asked as the blond girl shrugged her shoulders. Cher, Kerri, and Halsey don't have any classes together, so the only times they really get to see each other during school is in the mornings and during lunch.

"Ehh, it's been going okay. Sam and I got into another fight, as usual." Cher shrugged her shoulders sadly.

Sam and Cher's relationship is rather problematic, so they're pretty much fighting constantly.

"Sorry to hear that Cher." Kerri frowns. "But on a bright note, Derrick sat next to me in biology today and held my hand!" She bragged happily, her lips pulling upwards into a wide smile. Andrew and Kerri had broken up a while back, but Kerri didn't seem to hurt by it, especially because she had Derrick in her life during that time to console her.

"Yes! Finally, he decided to grow a pair and make the first move!" Cher cheered and clapped happily.

Halsey couldn't help but to laugh as she heard the banter between the two girls, shaking her head a bit as she did so.

"Hals, how have things been going with Lukey, huh?" Cher spoke up once more and playfully nudged her.

"Things between us? We're not even dating, we're just friends guys." Halsey says with her eyebrows furrowed together.

"Yeah right, the way you two look at each other says differently." Kerri joins in on the teasing.When it comes to looking at each other, Halsey loves to look up at him and into his eyes, usually because she's trying to see if she'll be able to see the color of them again, since she's only seen their color once and she absolutely loved them. "He sets a fire in your eyes, I can tell."

"Well, he does a little more than just that, but okay." Halsey murmurs softly.

"Huh, what was that? I didn't hear you." Cher moves closer to Halsey.

"W-Well... you know how I have my whole color issue... Ever since he came here I've been able to see some color... mostly just the color blue." Halsey said sheepishly as she kept her gaze trained on the table.

After a small moment of silence, Kerri finally speaks up. "No way? Can you see anything now?"

Halsey shakes her head. "I can only see them when he's around me. I know it sounds weird, but it's pretty cool."

Cher smiles at Halsey sweetly. "Well, I think that's pretty cool. Maybe eventually you'll be able to see colors fully."

And with that, the girls drifted into their usual kind of conversations, but yet Halsey felt pretty happy to have told her best friends what's going on and not judged or freak out at like her parents did.

The wind wiped Halsey's hair back as her and Luke walked towards his house together. Considering they were both home alone, Luke came up with the genius idea to have Halsey come over for a little movie night, which she gladly accepted. As the two of them stepped into his house a comfortable aura met Halsey, causing her to feel more relaxed and a little less nervous than she was.

"Welcome to la casa de Hemmings!" Luke said with his usual cute smile as he leads her inside.

He gives a small quick tour of the home, ending it in his bedroom.

"Sorry about the small mess, I haven't had the time to clean it recently." He said as he sat down on his bed. Halsey looked around the room, taking in the walls covered in band posters and the few scattered clothes on the floor.

"It's all good Lukey, your room is a lot more organized than me." Halsey giggled. It's true though, her room is pretty much a giant mess, but that's how most teenagers bedrooms are, right?

Luke smiled at her giggle and pats the spot on the bed next to him, gesturing for her to sit down next to him, which she does happily.

Luke grabs a black xbox controller off of his night stand and turns on the xbox and puts on Netflex.

"Do you want to pick the movie? I don't mind, we can watch whatever you want love." He holds out the remote to her.

She nods her head happily and takes the plastic controller into her hand and scrolls through the wide selection of movies Netflex has to offer, before deciding on a horror move called Sinister.

"You know, if you enjoy horror movies, maybe I could take you out to a theatre and see one sometime?" Luke speaks softly, his deep voice sounding nervous.

Halsey looks over at him, taking note on how he's biting his bottom lip and how his eyes seem to have a hopeful gleam in them, before nodding her head. "I-I would enjoy that a lot Luke." She stuttered shyly as Luke's lips pulled upwards into a wide grin.

"Awesome! So, I'll look into what movies are showing soon, and I'll let you know when the date is set, alright?"

"Alright Lukey!" Halsey grinned as she leaned into his side.

Well, she didn't expect this to happen. All she thought was that she would be hanging out with Luke like usual, but be asked out on a date? That was unexpected, but you go Luke! He made the first move, but then again, Halsey didn't really think he would 'make the first move' considering he doesn't like her in that way... right? He's just taking her out as his friend, like always, right?

Whatever the case may be, Halsey's absolutely ecstatic to be going out with him soon, however, right now she's too busy cuddling up to him and watching the movie to notice anything else.
