I grab my purse off of the coat hanger to the left of the front door. It seems like a weird place to keep it but it works for me.

I open the door and make my way over to Luke's car that's parked in our driveway.

We have been best friends since the first day of third grade when he moved here from Australia. I live in North Carolina but not close enough to the beach in my opinion. It's a good hour drive to it.

I grab the car door and open it. I see Luke smiling at me and i get butterflies.

I know we are just friends but he is so damn attractive. His deep blue eyes and blonde hair just make me go crazy.

He could seriously get any girl he wanted so i know i have no chance with him but for now best friends is just perfect and all i need.

The mall is only a few miles from my neighborhood. We get there quick enough that we don't even get to finish listening to dance, dance by fall out boy. So we sit in the car a little longer until it's over.

"Did you really want to go to the mall for me or do you need to get somethig here?", I ask him as i raise my left eyebrow in curiosity.

"I wanted to come because last saturday i made us go to the beach and you just wanted to come to the mall, so i owed you."

I slowly raise my eyes to meet his and he's already staring at me with a smirk. I should have known he wasn't just being nice. That look told me that he only wanted to buy something for himself.

The first store we went to was Hot Topic, obviously. Luke and i got matching ATL t-shirts which i thought were really cute and insisted that we got. I paid for them both and he said he'd buy me something later. So basically he wasn't going to make up for it.

After getting a few other things, including albums and a snapback for Luke, We pass a Pink, which is a line of Victoria Secret.

" Didn't you tell me you wanted a sweater from this store?" Luke motions toward the store.

"Ya, but it's like 60 dollars."

" So, i owe you for that t-shirt."

" But the t-shirt was only 10 bucks, i cant let you pay for the sweater, it costs too much", i state, not wanting him to feel like he had to pay me back by paying for some expensive sweater.

" Just show me which one, im not taking no for an answer!"

"Really? It's this one."

I grab the light pink colored sweater and toss it to Luke.

He pays for it and we make our way back to his grey car, whick was his brother Jack's old car.

"Do you want to go to my place and play some FIFA?" Luke suggests.

We both love FIFA and play it with eachother at least once a week. Sometimes we play it with the rest of his band after their practices. Well, except for Ashton. For some reason he doesn't like FIFA and gets teased about it nearly everyday.

His band mates, Michael and Calum both went to school with me when i was younger. Just last year they became friends and formed a band. Luke and Michael play guitar and Calum plays the bass. They needed a drummer and my older sister new Ashton from school, so she introduced him to the boys and now they're a band. 5 Seconds of Summer. They are really good in my opinion and i love to sit and listen to their band practices after school.

Luke lives farther from the mall than i do but it only takes about 10 minutes to get to his house. The 1975 album he bought is playing in the cd player and it is great. We learned all the words to Girls and have been listening to it on repeat.

We pull into has driveway and it looks like his parents aren't home. I love his parents and they seem to really love me too.

Luke goes into the kitchen to grab some sodas and i go set up FIFA on his Xbox.

Luke takes the controler with the Nirvana decals and i grab the plain white one. We always use the same ones out of superstition, even though it has nothing to do with who wins.

After about 30 minutes, Luke has won. He ussually wins, and never lets me win. When i win it's just pure luck.

The rest of the day, we watch reruns of The Walking Dead, until we both are asleep on the couch.

I wake up and feel a warm blanket laying on top of me. Well that was nice of Luke.

"Thanks for the blanket" i tell Luke.

No response.

I get off the couch and Luke is no where to be seen. He probably got hungry.

Of course he's in the kitchen. I take a seat on the counter and scare him so much that he flings his bowl of cereal in the air.

"Oh my god Eva, what was that for?"

"I didn't mean to scare you like that, sorry Lukey!"

"It's ok. Did i ever tell you how much i love that nickname you gave me?" Luke shrieks with a huge smile, showing his perfect teeth.

"Every day lukey!" I admit, proud of my creativity that actually took about 5 seconds to come up with.

Its 4 and i told my mom i would be home around 3. I dont want to leave but i need to get home.

"Hey Luke, i need to go home, could you give me a ride?"

"Don't leave Eva! We still haven't finished The Walking Dead episode."

"Luke i told my mom i would be home at 3, i want to stay but i can't."

"Fine but tomorrow I'm going over to your house." Luke said in a demanding voice. Is it wrong that it kind of turned me on?

We leave and arrive at my front door. He gets out and walks me to my front door and gives me a friendly hug and reminds me he will be here tomorrow at 11.

I walk up to my room and sit on my bed, just thinking. I had lots of fun today. I mean we always have fun when we are together but todsay he seemed different. Maybe it was just me.
