That Australian Boy

10

When I get home I basically lie about everything. I tell them how they were nice and caring.

"So what about moving in with them?" Chase asks. I nearly choke on my spaghetti. "No no god no" I say. "This is my family and I never wanna see those people again" I say.

I sit on the couch next to Jal as everyone watches TV. I get a text and it's Luke.

( L= Luke B= Bella )

L: So anymore secrets?
B: Luke im not in the mood
L: Are you ever?
B: Run along to that whore of yours
L: That "whore" and me broke up
B: Why?
L: Because I was gonna ask you to the winter dance but I didn't know you like to lie
B: I didn't fucking lie ok?! I was gonna tell you one day! It just wasn't the time
L: Then when was it going to be the time?!
B: Goodbye Luke

I lock my phone and I go upstairs to my room.

December 16||

I wake up and I go downstairs. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everybody screams. I smile as I see everyone and my mom reveals the cake.

The cake has one of my favorite movies on there and it's "The Breakfast Club" . They all sing happy birthday and I blow out the candles. "So do I get to stay home cause it's my birthday?" I ask and they both nod yes.

Everyone eats cake for breakfast then goes to school, work, and the store.

I sit in my room listening to my music and playing xbox. Luke climbs in my window and I look at him. "Ok why the window?" I ask. "Why aren't you in school?" He asks. "I don't have to be" I say. "Happy birthday" he says. I'm shocked at this. The punk bad ass kid knows my birthday and how to be polite. "Party tonight? Maybe you could put some things on fire?" He smirks sitting next to me. "I'm sorry" he says. "What are you on Hemmings? Being nice to me, inviting me to parties, and saying your sorry!" I laugh pausing my videogame and looking at him as he lies down on the bed and I sit. "Well the birthday your brother told me, saying I'm sorry is because I need you, and inviting you to a party is because I wanna see you party" he chuckles.

I lay down next to him and we talk for hours. His phone goes off and he answers his eyes never leaving mine. "Uh yeah" he mutters into the phone. He then ends the call. "I'll pick you up later ok?" He says sitting up and walking towards the window. "Luke" I say and he turns. "Thank you" I smile. He smirks "your welcome babes" he says and leaves.

We later go out to dinner and I get a text from Luke.

L: Ready babes?
B: Cant right now I'm out for dinner
L: Well when can I see you?
B: I'll text you when

Later everyone hugs me and says happy birthday. My parents stop me. "We have a present" they smile and hand me an envelope. "A ford pickup? And it's an older one! Who's is this?" I ask. She hands me the keys and they walk me outside.

I see an old ford blue pickup truck. "OH MY GOD" I scream. "It's beautiful" I run over to it. "And it's mine?!" I ask and they nod. "Parents of a lifetime!" I scream and hug them. "Can I go out?" I ask "where?" She asks. "Just to Dylan's" I lie. "Ok be back by at least tonight if not text me" she says and I nod. "OH MY GODDDD" I scream and get in the truck. I call Luke and I hear a lot of noise in the background. "Babes!" I hear his voice. "Meet me at mcdonalds ok?" He asks. "It's 11 pm" I say. "Who cares it's still your birthday see you there" I hear the phone call end.
