Kids in the Dark •5SOS PUNK AU• {COMPLETED}

~18~

(A/N: there's a picture of my kitty, Pika, who I thought was lost last night but turns out he was in our guest room playing a curtain. No surprise there because he loves tearing things up. Guess who's getting declawed? P.s. The little monkey thing beside him is a childhood monkey of mine but it's like his new best friend)

Luke's POV

Tonight was my date with Becca and I had needed major advice. First I went to Calum but all he said was to 'get some' and Ashton punched him. Ashton told me to be myself and I soon found out my parents said the same thing. Michael told me to shut up and screw off. I couldn't go to Becca for advice because she was the one I was going on the date with. I continually pushed my fingers through my hair in nervousness.

I was pacing and holding a small yet barely affordable bouquet of different flowers. I was taking her to dinner and then to the beach. I love the idea of beach and ice cream as a date. I rented an ice cream cart and he'll be at the beach once we get there after dinner. My family was poor and the ice cream cart was all my life savings plus the bouquet was most of my birthday money I was using to get myself a new guitar. Michael is going to be pissed to find out I blew all my money on a girl and not a guitar. My parents were paying for the restaurant and I couldn't thank them enough after all the terrible and embarrassing things I did to them. My lip ring, tattoos, and dropping out of school. I was a terrible son, they should've had a daughter and not me.

I was waiting outside Becca and Skylar's door. I didn't know when to knock. When I did, I wouldn't know what to say. I should've practiced, but I didn't have time and if I did it in public, I'd be a laughing stock. I hesitantly raised my fist to the door and tapped it two times. I heard people bustling around and hushed arguments. Suddenly the door opened to reveal Skylar wearing an Ed Sheeran tee shirt and sweatpants. Her hair was in a really weird ponytail thing and I noticed she dyed the bottom part of hair black.

"So, Luke, you're here to take my little girl on a date, yeah?" She asked in a deep voice, imitating an older man's.

I laughed nervously.

"Uh, yep. Where is she anyways?"

"She's still trying to make sure she looks 'presentable'," Skylar dropped the mimic and laughed. "Between you and me, she's trying to impress you. I can tell."

My cheeks heated up.

"Oh, there's no need for her to that. I'm the one who's trying to impress her."

"Awe! That's adorable! Ohhhh! Are those flowers for me?!" Skylar squealed.

I laughed for real this time.

"Yeah, right! They're obviously for-"

"The president?" I heard a third voice.

Skylar and I's heads turned in the direction of the voice. I spotted Becca walking down the stairs looking breathtaking. She had changed out her black nose ring to a diamond one and she curled her hair for the first time. I saw all the red that was dyed into it and she was wearing...make up? I noticed the tint of red on her lips and color around her eyes. That's weird. She was also wearing a skirt. I dressed casual formal which consisted of a white shirt with a black blazer thing and some nice black pants my mum bought. But Becca was wearing a beautiful tank top and a long skirt with high heels. I could tell she was trying her best not to fall in them.

"Why are you wearing high heels?" I asked.

"I wanted to look nice," she put simply, tripping slightly.

"Go change into a pair of trainers."

"What are those?" (A/N: WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOSSSSEEEEEEEE???!!!!) She asked, confused.

"They have laces on them and you wear them when you run," I replied as if it were the basic alphabet.

"Oh, you mean tennis shoes?" (Sneakers. But I say tenna shoes because I'm lazy AF bye)

"Uh, sure?"

She practically threw off the heels and one hit Skylar. Skylar yelped out and rubbed her left thigh as Becca grabbed a pair of trainers or 'tennis shoes' and slipped on some socks.

I thought it was funny because now we were both wearing trainers in fancy clothing.

"Are you ready now? Feet feeling better?"

"Definitely. Bye, Skylar!"
