Why Me?

As soon as the last bell rang, signaling school is over, I walk over to the Junior High section of the campus. I see Luke sitting on the curb, talking on the phone. Right as he sees me, he says what looked to be 'bye' and hung up. He crawled into the small car a blush creeping its way onto his cheeks. "Who are ya' talking to?" I chuckled, a smirk plastering my face.

"A-a umm..." Luke seemed to be at a loss of words. I nodded, encouraging him to keep talking. "A girl... f-from Football practice. She's a cheerleader." I laughed. I had never seen him so embarrassed before.

"Do I know this cheerleader?" I asked making him blush even more. He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, what's her name?"

"Kate Styles." I recognized the last name, I'm just not sure where from.

"How about you invite her over for dinner tonight?" I suggested.

"W-what?" He seemed to be shocked.

"You stutter too much." I joked."But, you really should, I'll make pasta." His eyes lit up brighter than the stars.

"Okay!" He shouted, voice full of excitement.

Kate's POV

I run to my phone, cursing under my breath for it to shut up. "Hello?"

"Hey" it was my football player, Luke. I couldn't help but smile. "Would you want to come eat dinner at my house tonight?"

"Um, yeah.. Yeah!" I say not able to comprehend what I was just asked.

"Really?!" Luke's soft voice brought me back to reality.

"Yeah! I would love to!" I say, only this with more excitement and understanding.

"Cool! Pick you up at 6:30, then?"

"Yeah. Awesome! See you then."

"See ya!"

I turned to face my uncle, Harry. I had came to stay with him for the month while my mother, Gemma, was on her honeymoon. "Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm am going to eat dinner with a boy tonight." I told him.

I noticed him frown. Harry was super protective over me. "What's his name?"

I smiled at the simple thought of him. "Luke O'Lear."

"You can't go."

"What?! Why?!"

"Their house isn't safe. People are looking for his older sister. I don't know why, I have been trying to watch her. Make sure nothing happened to her." Surprise struck me. Why did someone want to hurt her? I couldn't wrap my head around it.

I walk up to my room. I still fully intend on going to their house. I hopped in the shower and washed myself. Next I put on a dress. It was knee-length, white, and silky. I brushed my dark curls, something that caused me to resemble Harry, and then applied a little makeup. I washed my teeth and was ready to go. Until 6:30, I listened to music and read my favorite book, 'Beautiful Creatures'. 6:30 finally comes and I see a small, red Volkes Wagon Beetle pull up. I run downstairs to open the door before Harry sees them. I step outside to greet them, quietly shutting the door behind me. Luke smiles and takes my hand, leading me to the car.
