Foreign Exchange // Punk Luke Hemmings

Reasons

<Haylee's POV>

I had feelings for Luke Hemmings.

What?

How is that possible?

I hate him!

That boy made my life hell. How could I have feelings for him?!

I sighed as I lay there on my bed after school, just staring up at my ceiling while trying to figure this out.

Sure, Luke could be nice. He did offer to sign Crushing Opals. And it obviously didn't hurt that he was attractive.

But he was also such an àsshole... The way he always had to taunt me and piss me off and just be a cocky little- UGH!! I had reason to dislike the whole "bad boy" thing, and I had thought I'd be out of that phase by now where I just wanted a bad boy who was super sweet to me but not to everyone else. Because those boys obviously don't exist...

That's when I realized why I was so annoyed and upset by Luke. He just... He reminded me so much of Trevor that it made me uncomfortable.

Trevor is my ex. Beautiful, tall, and tattooed, he was the typical heartthrob bad boy type. And he was into me, or so I'd thought for three years while he led me on, sleeping around behind my back.

He had been my rock. I'd trusted him with my life essentially. He'd taken things slowly with me, going through the relationship at whatever pace I wanted to. And I loved him for that. He was the sweetest thing when he was with me, but he was very protective to anyone who tried to do anything to me.

I thought I loved him. In fact, I did love him. Then I found out over Instagram that he was cheating on me. He posted a picture of him kissing some random girl at a party with the caption "Thanks for the great night ladies ;D". Let's just say that after Danny found out, he had some bruised knuckles and Trevor had a broken nose. He transferred schools this year thankfully, so I haven't had to deal with him.

The band was really understanding. I actually spent several days at Del's house over the summer just crying while they tried to cheer me up. It eventually worked, and we haven't talked about Trevor since. I haven't even thought of him since then. Maybe that's why I couldn't place the familiarity I felt when I first saw Luke.

I picked up my phone and went to text Tanner about this.

Me: T? I have a problem.....

Tanner Bananer: like what?

Me: I think I might like Luke........... DX

Tanner Bananer: OMG SERIOUSLY HAY THATS SO CUTW DKBEKEBAJ so why is that a prob?

Me: Um, have you listened to any of the times I've told you how awful he is???

Tanner Bananer: Well yeah. But he's hot. And he might get us signed.

Me: But T.... He reminds me of he who shall not be named....... Like a LOT

Tanner Bananer: Seriously? Well I can see the problem there then..... :-|

Me: yeah...... >~<

Tanner Bananer: Wanna go out for ice cream to make it better? ;)

Me: I guess... :-)

Tanner Bananer: Kk. Meet me in a bit

Me: Coolio

I locked my phone and rolled off my bed. Slipping on shoes, I braced myself in case I encountered Luke on the way out, then I took a deep breath and walked out of my room quietly.
