School.

That one word is the way I die a little inside everyday. At school I see everyone, and it seems like every person belongs to someone. I can see how Michael will always chooses Ashton over me, I see how Luke will always choose Michael over me. It's a viscously ending cycle and I hate it.

I hate being people's second choices but that's just what I am. A second choice that no one really cares about. I make everyone look good, and I just make myself look bad.

I mean every time I see the people I care about the most choose someone better than me it hurts me. It hurts me a lot.

"Hey babe," Luke said coming up to me at lunch.

"Hey!" I said forcing a smile.

He kissed me on the forehead as he smiled. He was extremely happy for some reason. I was confused as to why. I was happy for Luke being happy. It's just he normally isn't as preppy as he is right now.

"Your quite preppy," I said.

"Yea because it's Valentine's Day and we have our date tonight," he said. "I already talked with your mom and she knows that your not going to be home until late which you won't be home until like 1 in the morning."

"Damn that's a long date," I said.

"Yea but you'll love it," he said smiling.

"Okay," I said trusting him.

Luke and I talked for a while not even keeping track of time. We talked about everything from Pokemon to Clash of Clans. I ended up joining his clan after he asked me too.

My war base is very pathetic but I'm working on making it actually look okay. I'm not very good at video games to say the least.

Mikey and Cal made up recently and everything has been going good. Ashton apologized profusely for all the pain he caused me, and out of everything the band has gotten so good.

They post covers on YouTube, and they are getting so much recognition for it. Mike got them a gig on Friday at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis. This hotel is where everyone great started out.

Lately I've been noticing things with Luke. Every time I post things on my snapchat story when I'm hanging out with Michael and he does something funny he tells me that he is hurt because we didn't invite him. Then I feel bad, and I end up sticking up for Luke rather than Mike.

I honestly don't get what's going through his head. I don't get why he gets so jealous about me hanging out with my own brother. I mean if it was Calum it would be different, but it was Mike.

Soon enough the bell rang and I was off to my last class.

After school I got to my locker, and Luke was there. He had on his All Time Low shirt and it just fit him so well.

I was extraordinarily tired today even though I got like 9 hours of sleep. That's what I normally get, and in fine every other day, but I'm just tired today.

Luke and I were leaving straight after school for our date tonight, and I couldn't wait.

"Hey babe you ready to leave?" He asked.

"Yea lets roll," I said.

Luke lead me out of the school and to the spot where he parked his black sedan. We both got in defrosting from the bitter cold weather outside. We were missing swim today for whatever this is, and lets just hope it's good enough for me to not be swimming.

**

We were driving for the longest time before Luke started speaking.

"Okay we're nearly there so close your eyes," he said. I closed my eyes and waited while I heard him turning multiple corners and finally stopping."don't open them yet."

"Well how am I supposed to get out of the car without tripping?" I asked.

"Hold on," he said. I could hear him get out of the car, and not going to lie I was a second away from opening my eyes when my door opened. "Hold on to my hands and I'll lead you in."

"I'm so tempted to look," I said truthfully.

I heard some more shuffling around before he placed something around my head. I get around to feel the rough fabric of a blind fold.

"Really Luke?"

"Yes now let's get going or were going to be late," he said.

"Okay," I said getting out of the car and into the cold brisk air with Luke's help. The cold sent shivers down my spine, but I kept warm with the jacket I brought.

We were walking for the longest time. I was still holding on to Luke's hand, which of course kept me calm. It always kept me relaxed.

As we neared whatever we were going to I could hear the loud thunderous voices of people. All of a sudden we stopped, and I felt Luke trying to take the blindfold off. Once it came off a building came into site. It was one of our arenas, and All Time Low was playing here tonight.

"You didn't," I said in disbelief.

"Oh I did,"

"You bastard," I said hitting his chest.

"Wait do you not like this cause if not I can't really leave,"

"No I love this and why can't you leave?"

"You'll see," he said with a devilish smirk on his face. "Now hurry or were going to be late."

Hello!

Okay so to explain where I've been the last few days it's because I saw ATL in Chi-town on Thursday and I got really sad after that I basically had pcd. (Post concert depression). And I got in a fight with one of my closets friends which just made me more depressed than I normally am, and yea I hope you understand.

I feel a bit better now but I haven't fully recovered from the concert and stuff.

I think someone likes me, but I'm basically already in a steady relationship with pizza.

Okay anyway thanks for reading idk I stopped with qotd because no one answered them...

Would you answer them if I gave you more QOTD?

Please don't forget I love you!
