The next morning, Luke was woken up by his phone ringing on his nightstand. He cursed himself for not turning it off last night. He had a very short night since he stayed till one in the morning at the hospital beside his mother.

He blindly searched for the small device and accepted the call, pulling it to his ear sleepily, grumbling a low 'hello'.

''Hey Luke, it's Olivia from the photography class.'' For an instant, the boy was confused and didn't know who this Olivia girl was. You have to forgive him though, it's only seven and gets easily confused when he's tired. ''We met the other day at Michael's and you said you were very into modeling. Well, you see, I have this project I need to do for school and I'm in need of a male model for a photoshoot. You up to help?''

Sure, modeling for a college student is not the career Luke wants but it can only benefits him. He can practice his techniques and poses while Olivia gets a good grade for her project. It's a win-win situation.

''Erm.. yeah, sure. Yeah, sorry, I'm just waking up and I'm very slow in the morning,'' he explained to the girl. Luke sat up in his bed, rubbing his blue eyes tiredly. The comforter slipped and rested on his lap, exposing his naked chest to the cool air of his bedroom. He shivered.

She chuckled. ''It's okay. I get it.'' There was a small pause and then he heard her gasp, realising what the boy said. ''Did I woke you? I'm so sorry if I did,'' she apologized. ''I feel so bad right now, I thought-''

''It's okay. Don't feel bad for that. I'm used to waking up early because of castings.''

''Is it possible to mee somewhere today? I'd like to start working on this as soon as possible if it's okay with you.''

''We could meet this afternoon? I have something this morning I need to do so I can't but I'm free this afternoon.''

Luke was the one picking up his mother from the hospital. The doctor said she could leave in the morning if the night goes well. There was no missed calls/voicemails from the hospital, it must be positive.

''Perfect! I'll send you a text with the adress to meet, bye. And again, sorry for waking you.''

A smal smile on his face, Luke hung up. Olivia is so sweet and truly felt bad for waking him up when it's nothing, really. If it was Michael or Calum, they would've never apologise and simply said to 'stop whining and get over it, lazy butt'. Boys are boys.

Trying to go back to sleep is an impossible thing for the eighteen years old due to the sun trying to break trough his curtains - and succeding. Who can sleep with a bright light in their face? It's not ideal. Luke slipped out of bed and made his way to the living room to watch morning cartoons on television. He doesn't watch it often now that he's not a kid but still enjoys it. They're not as funny as teenager cartoons - think Family guy or American dad - but who doesn't like Pokemon?



After picking up his mum from the hospital - he had to borrow Michael's car, that's the rule when you're released out of the hospital - Luke headed to the location Olivia texted him late morning. They agreed on meeting up at the college's photography studio to plan the photoshoot.

The walk to college isn't too long from his apartement. He listen to grungy music while heading to the education building. Olivia told him to bring a backpack with a change of clothes because she only has girl clothes and Luke does not fit in them. He's too tall and broad in the shoulder area.

The door of the 201 studio was ajar when the blonde arrived. He pushed it and was relieved when seeing the dirty blonde girl sitting down on the crisp white floor, a laptop and a notebook in front of her.
