"So Elle you know what tomorrow is?" Luke asked excitedly.

"Yea the 14," I said.

"Yea and?"

"Valentine's Day," I said.

"Exactly so we're going out tomorrow night," he demanded.

"Why?" I groaned loudly hoping he would take the very obvious hint I was not up for the cliche dinner and exchange of gifts. Quite franking I didn't even get him a gift yet.

I never really liked celebrating Valentines because I never had anyone to celebrate it with. So I usually ended up spending Valentine's Day cooped up in my room watching Netflix with some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"Because we're a couple and I want to treat you to dinner," he argued. "But it's nothing really fancy because I know how much you hate to dress up."

"Fine," I sighed. A smile made its way into my face thinking of actually being someone's Valentine for once. "I guess I'll go."

"Good because I already planned out tomorrow," he said making me laugh. "What?"

"You're acting like a girl," I laughed. He was though. He planned out our date, he was excited, and he just sounded so feminine.

"And?"

"Nothing it just makes me laugh 'cause it's cute," I said smiling and chuckling to myself.

"Whatever," he said rolling his eyes at me.

We were currently at lunch and Michael was starting towards us. Oh what fun! I hope you caught on to my saurcasm.

"Hey," Mike said. "Is it alright if I sit here?"

"Yea go ahead," I said inviting him in. As he set down his tray he failed at trying to get in the middle of the bench. He's accidentally hit the side of his tray while he went to sit down. The tray then flew up and smacked him right in the chin sending all his food into his lap.

"Fucking hell!" Michael screamed making everyone's gaze turn towards us.

I quickly shot up and grabbed some napkins for him. I handed them to him as he roughly took them. There was no thank you or anything.

Soon enough the bell had rung, and I was off to my next class.

School was soon over, and I couldn't have been happier. Luke was giving me a ride home today. To be honest I was just to lazy to walk home, and Luke would basically do anything I asked when it came to driving me around.

Soon enough I saw the familiar blonde hair that belonged to my boyfriend, and he came up to me and kissed me on the forehead sending warmth to fill my body up.

He was six foot four and I was five foot three. There was a whole entire foot between us. I honestly had no idea why he would even want to go out with me in the first place, but it is what it is.

"Hey beautiful," he said smiling.

"Hi handsome,"

"So I was wondering if you wanted to do homework together?"

"Sure," I said enthusiastically.

"Alright than lets go,"

*

"So I'm bored lets do something," Luke said putting his books down 5 minutes after we started.

"Seriously Luke?"

"Yea why don't we get to know each other more," he suggested. "A truth or dare but it can only be about things we've never told each other."

"Fine," I sighed. "You first because it was your idea."

We had played a couple rounds before Luke asked me again. I had been picking DATE because of how afraid I was he was going to ask me something bad.

I gave in because I knew Luke was going to make me do it sooner or later. I hated playing truth or dare because I had too many secrets to hide, but I could trust Luke right?

"Truth or dare?" He asked.

"Truth,"

"Okay what's one thing you've always dreamed of? And why haven't you done it?"

"Okay it's basically useless asking truth or dare because we all know we're just asking questions so let's not ask truth or dare,"

"Okay but answer the question," he said excitedly. I stared at his blue eyes for a second thinking. "What was a dream of yours?"

"I've always wanted to date a famous band member," I said. "But I'm not old enough so I can't."

"Okay ask me now," he said grabbing my hand. I could tell he was nervous right now because that's what he always did when he was nervous. We always went for each other's hands when we were nervous.

All of a sudden I felt fatigue. It was like as soon as Luke grabbed my hand he was draining all my energy.

"Uh what's a dream of yours?" I asked him copying his question.

This sudden tiredness caused my brain to not work. I couldn't think of a question, and even if I wanted to I wouldn't have been able to get one to come to mind anyway.

"I've always wanted to meet a penguin," he said causing me to laugh lightly.

I cleared my books off of my blue comforter, and I laid down. I patted the spot beside me for Luke to lay down beside me. He hesitated before finally deciding to lay down. I cuddled my body into his feeling his heart beat race against my ear.

"I don't want your mom to think bad of me," he said.

"Oh my god Luke your fine just please lay down I'm tired and I want to cuddle," I whined.

"Fine," he gave in. "Can I ask you one last question though?"

"Yea shoot me,"

"What's one thing you've never told anyone?"

"I'm always a second choice one way or another ," I said.

"Your not mine," he assured me.

"I'll believe it when I see it," I told him laughing.

"It's true Elle you'll always come first with me," he said.

"Okay,"

"Okay,"

"Okay,"

"Oh my god Elizabeth stop flirting with me,"

"My name isn't Elizabeth," I laughed. "And did you just?"

"Yes yes I did,"

"Ya' learn something new every day," I said.

"Yea I guess you do,"
