I Hate You // Muke ( boyxboy )

11. Dinner

Michael couldn't believe it. His neighbor was Luke Hemmings. Out of every family in the the universe, they just had to move in next to his.

"Are you ready?" Michael's mom said,standing at his doorway.

"For what?"

"The Hemmings family invited us over for dinner. We're supposed to be there at 6."

Micheal groaned. "I'll be ready in a few"

Michael's mom went back downstairs and Michael got out of his bed. He grabbed his phone and Hold on till May by Pierce the Veil started playing.

Walking to his closet, Michael decided to wear his flannel and a pair of black jeans with his white snapback.

After changing, Michael lay on his bed and grabbed his phone to check the time. 5:48

Michael decided he still had some time and decided to text Maddie.

Michael smiled and texted back.

Michael checked the time and realized it was five till six.

» from Michael

He put on his vans and stuffed his phone in his pocket before heading downstairs.

Michael saw both of his parents ready and his mom adding whipped cream to the pie she made.

"Ready to go?" His dad said as he saw him come down the stairs.

Michael nodded and they all headed next door. This wasn't going to be fun.

Michael had to ring the doorbell since he was the only one with a free hand on account that his parents both had dessert in their hands.

A boy that looked a lot like Luke, Michael was guessing Luke's older brother opened the the door.

"Mom the neighbors are here!" He yelled.

"Let them in!" She said, coming to the door.

Liz smiled and gestured for them to walk in the house.

"I made some pie" Michael's mom said as they walked in.

"Thank you Karen!" She said.

They started talking about other stuff that mom's talk about to each other like recipes or their kids so Michael just zoned out and started looking at the house.

Michael didn't know if it was since he had the song in his head or that he actually heard a guitar playing Hold on Till May.

He followed the sound, which led down a hallway.

The sound was coming from a cracked open door covered in pictures of bands on it. Michael could see a little through the slit and saw Luke sitting in a chair playing the guitar.

He had a snapback on and a jean jacket. When he started singing, Michael thought he was going to burst into a thousand pieces.

His voice was beautiful.

He was beautiful.

"Damn" Michael whispered not wanting him to hear. He didn't know why he felt this way and he didn't really hate it.

"Luke, come to the kitchen the Clifford's are here!" Michael heard Liz shout and panicked.

He heard the guitar stop so Michael put his hand on his chin and acted like he was looking at some pictures on the wall.

"What the fuck?" he heard Luke mumble as he opened the door but acted as if he was so into the family portraits that he didn't notice.

Michael then made his way into the kitchen with Luke keeping a far distance behind.

~~~~~~~~

Everyone had their plates ready and we're seated for dinner.

"Lets says Grace" Mr. Hemmings said and everyone bowed their heads down.

"Lord thank you for this food.." Mr. Hemmings started.

Michael opened one eye and and snuck a look at Luke, only to realize he was already looking at him.

Michael felt a shade of red come to his cheeks and quickly closed his eye and looked back down.

When Mr. Hemmings finished saying Grace and everyone shared a quick "amen", they started making their plates.

Michael didn't want to have to sit across from Luke and his glares longer than needed so he made a little plate and ate faster than the others.

Luke played around with his food and took a few bites before asking so with a sigh, "Can I be excused?"

Mrs. Hemmings just nodded and frowned a little. Luke took his plate to the sink and walked to his room.

"He's not really social with anybody" Mrs. Hemmings told us once she heard him close his bedroom door.

"Surely he has some friends at school" Michael's mom chimed in, which Michael thought was irrelevant.

Mr. Hemmings just shook his head. "He hasn't brought someone over or talked about anyone to us. Maybe it's just one of those teen phases."

"Well Ben and I have a friend who brought up Luke to us. Apparently they met and started talking at some cafe." said Jack.

Mrs Hemmings smiled, "That's wonderful! Is he a good kid? What's his name?"

"Yea he's a good guy and his name is Ashton." Ben said.

Mrs and Mr. Hemmings both smiled at that. "That's great that he's finally talking to some people."

Michael finished eating and waited for his parents to finish also so they could leave. He really didn't care what his parents and the Hemmings were talking about he just wanted to leave.

~~~~~~~~

Michael's parents finally seemed to have run out of words, which he was beyond thankful for, and left the house.

As soon as they stepped foot back into their house, Michael ran up to his room and jumped into his bed. He pulled out his phone to see that he had a text from Maddie.

From Maddie:
Hey wanna hangout tomorrow?

From Michael: yea sounds good how about my place?

Michael underessed from his clothes that day and got into bed before feeling his phone go off.

From Maddie:
Ok :) see you tomorrow

Michael smiled and put his phone down on his nightstand before going to sleep.
