Pinky Promise? || Muke

Niall || 09

I couldn't believe it. Luke Hemmings just kissed my nose. Luke Hemmings.

Luke Hemmings, a senior, was the fear of everyone. And now he was acting all sweet to me, and I'm only a sophomore.

I felt Niall looking at us as he predictably smiled.

"Um, thanks..," I mumbled. "I think I can watch it now."

Within thirty minutes, Michael wasn't any braver. But he was more comfortable with hiding his face in Luke's shoulder.

Luke's arm was slung across the back of the couch, and it made Michael feel a little safer.

Niall was ecstatic. "Greg, you do your thing. I'm staying with Mikey for a little while."

Greg playfully winked as everybody followed him out the door.

"Oh my gosh! Luke Hemmings kissed you!" Niall squealed, jumping on Michael's bed as Michael laid on the floor.

"No, h-he didn't. I-It was a little peck on the nose. That's a-all," Michael scoffed, rolling over so the blush in his cheeks was hidden.

"But he's Luke Hemmings! I was afraid to even look at him for the first year I knew him!" Niall insisted, his baby blue eyes wide.

"Yeah, well, he sits behind m-me in M-Maths so-"

"That's no reason to be so comfortable! I'm jealous." Niall flopped onto the pink bedspread and covered his face with his hands.

"He's not so b-bad," Michael said, but the statement sounded more like a question.

"His temper, Mike. He's got anger issues. He got suspended twice last year for getting mad and acting out."

"Oh... I've never seen him mad before."

"He's also too old for you," Niall realized. "we're sophomores! He's graduating this year."

"Niall, I'm n-not even sure I like h-him yet. Stop pointing out all th-the bad things."

Niall nodded and patted the open spot in bed. "come here."

-

"Good morning, boys!" Karen said cheerily.

"Hey, Ms. Karen!" Niall squealed, hugging her. "sleep well?"

"Yeah, I did. Did you?"

We nodded. "I know Michael must have," Niall quirked his eyebrows.

Karen and Garrett looked at me. "What happened?" Her eyebrows went up as she put the plate of toast in front of us.

"Uh..," I started, cheeks red. All eyes were on me.

"I know," Niall smirked, "he's got himself a loverboy."

"Oh?" Karen teased.

I covered his face. "I can't b-believe you, Niall!"

"Was it that boy who kept putting his arm around you last night? The tall blonde?"

"Oh, yes. He's a senior though, so watch out for little Michael here." Niall winked.

Garrett was laughing. "What's his name?"

"Luke," Niall answered again.

Garret's eyes went wide and his smile fell. "Luke Hemmings?"

Niall nodded. "what?"

"Nothing, uh.. yeah. I just know him from around town, you know?"

Michael ignored the toast in front of him and followed niall out the door. But all that was on his mind was What Garret could possibly know about Luke.

(This chapter sucks but oh well. It's a filler.
