Hey Aren't You The New Kid

58. What Are You Writing?

Lukes P.O.V
I guess it was obvious I was ignoring Riley. I have a perfect valid reason why, and no it's not only because of Ben, but also because I've been writing her a song. I wanted to write this because I always write songs when I can't figure out how I'm feeling, and it just turned into a song I wanted to write for Riley. The bell rang dismissing us from PE so I went straight to the guys locker room.

I changed to my skinny jeans and white t-shirt and shoved my things in my PE locker. "Hey Luke",said Ashton from next to me. "Hey Ashton",I replied. I assumed he was waiting for me so that we could all head to the Rejects table. "Hey Ashton, um I have some work to finish so Im gonna skip lunch to go to the Library",I said. "Oh that's cool mate, if you have time left come to the table okay",he said smiling. "Ok got it",I said smiling as I turned around and left.

I avoided the people coming to the lunch all swarming here as I went to the library. Almost no one was there just the librarian. "Hi Ms. Lawdale",I said greeting the librarian. "Hello Luke. Are you not eating",she asked concerned. "Oh I have packed lunch",I said lying. "Okay then",she going back to what she was doing on the computer. I sat at the far table to the right and sat down. I took my red notebook out of my backpack and opened to the designated page.

I don't know exactly what to call it yet but I have some lyrics down. I looked at the page and read the lyrics through my head.

Can I have a minute, I've gotta tell you something.

I heard that someone likes you, it might be nothing but he's right in front of you.

He's kinda my size, don't look back cause he's looking.

I think you know him, but you just don't know that he's right in front of you.

Baby you've been talking to him nearly every day, he really likes all the games that you play.

He told me to tell you to see what you'd say, before he jumps in and he asks for the date. Cause I've got this friend who's crazy about you, I've got this friend who can't live without you.

I've got this friend and I wish you would see, how this would end if you knew it was me.

I felt like it was a proper way to remind her that I really liked her. I was also planning to ask her on a date, you know if I have the guts at the moment to do so.

I kept writing until a voice snapped me out of my writing process. "What are you writing there",asked a voice. I looked up and saw a girl with straight black hair and grey eyes which was unusual for anyone, let alone someone who wasn't in our group, to even approach me. I've never seen this girl here ever?

"U-um nothing",I said pulling my notebook away and looking down at the table. "Aw you're cute when you're nervous, it definitely looks like something",she continued on. "It's nothing and I don't even know who you are",I said. "Ouch that hurt right in the heart. Anyways my name is Sarah I'm new here. And you must be Mr. Grumpy Pants",she said smirking.

"No my name is Luke for your information",I said. "Well Luke you seem like a cool kid",she said taking a seat without asking me. "Trust me I'm not",I said quietly. "Sure you are you seem fun",she said staring at me. "Not to be rude but why are you even here",I asked. "That still is rude but anyways I'm here because I saw you and you looked interesting so I thought I'd approach you. Plus I saw you get kicked where the sun doesn't shine in PE and I wanted to ask you if you're okay",she said.

"You're talkative, and yes I'm fine now",I grunted. "Yes I am",she said. She oddly reminded me of Calum. "Hey have you met someone named Calum",I asked knowing that if they did they'd kick it right off. "Nope sounds like a great name though",she said. "But really what are you writing Lucas",she pestered. "That's not my name, and it's none of your business",I said. I didn't realize my notebook was visible until she read some lyrics.

"Cause I've got this friend who's crazy about you, I've got this friend who can't live without you. I've got this friend and I wish you would see, how this would end if you knew it was me",she said reading off my notebook.

"Aw who's this about",she said. "N-no one",I said blushing. "Aw Larry you're cute when you blush",she said pinching my cheeks. "You have no sense of personal space do you, and my name isn't Larry",I said.

"Sorry Liam I'm bad at names",she said. "Anyways the girl you're writing this for is a real lucky gal, or boy you know lets broad about this",she said. "You think she'll like it",I asked. "I know she will",she said smiling intently. She got up from her chair and began walking away. "Where are you going",I asked. "I don't know I'll just walk around here. Bye Lu Lu see you around",she said waving at me.

She didn't even give me a chance to respond. I'm happy I got to talk to her, she seems like a nice person to talk too. I looked down and got back to writing.
