Lock

Two// smoke

She stood up from the vanity, cringing at her clear face, patting it with the rag to dry off the makeup remover. Biting her lip, she gathered her bathroom basket, along with a change of clothes, to get a shower. Once she had nearly everything, she slid on her flip flops and stepped outside. With her confident walk, she left her room, but soon realized she didn't know where she was going.

She looked around for someone, but everyone seemed to be farther away by a blazing light. The nearest person she could ask for assistance, was hanging out with Asian boy. Tentatively, she tapped a blonde-quaffed dude's shoulder.

He stopped mid-sentence and turned around, chewing on his black lip ring. "Yes?" Luke knew who it was.

The girl shied down from his seductive stare. "D-do you know where the showers are?"

Luke smirked at the thought. "Yeah, I do." He stood there, admiring her as she awkwardly fidgeted.

"Could you show me where they are?" She snapped, tired of the waiting.

"Follow me, princess," he took her hand into his and lead her away, winking at Calum as they passed. "So, you gonna go to the campfire after?"

"I don't know. If I get a shower and go, I don't want to smell of fire," she shrugged, enjoying his warm hand.

"No problem, I'll shield you with a hug!" He 'attacked' her by wrapping his arms around her. She giggled into his shoulder and stepped away.

"Are these it?" She pointed to the tall buildings behind them.

"Yes they are. See you at the fire?" He moved behind her so he could walk that way.

"See you..." She trailed off, not knowing his name.

"Luke. And you are?"

She hesitated. "I'll tell you my nickname."

Luke threw his head back in laughter. "Okay."

"It's Astrid." She smiled at the nickname.

Flashbacks are important btw.

She pranced into her grandpas hospital room and plopped onto his bed. "Hey, Astrid." He greeted.

Her five year old self didn't understand. "What?"

"Astrid: like asteroid which is in space, and space is related to your name."

"I love it, pa," she crawled onto his stomach and curled under his arms.

"I love you, to the moon and back." He kissed her forehead.

"To the moon and back."

Waving bye to Luke, she turned to the restrooms.

Humming to herself, Astrid walking back to her room with her things. She held a flashlight in one hand to see where she was going while her wet hair tied onto her head. She sported leggings, a Nirvana shirt and her famous black vans everyone in America knew her for.

Boy, did she miss home. But she was here in Australia for the summer. When she met that Luke boy, however, her perspectives on the place changed.

Her shoes squeaked against the grass as she stopped to unlock the room. She stepped in and set her things back on their shelf. Astrid shrugged a hoodie on (her brothers California one) and slid her phone into her pocket.

"Alright, keys, phone, hoodie, shoes," she checked off a mental list out loud. "We are ready."

She passed the mirror as she walked to the door and stopped. "God, that buns horrible." She pulled it out and braided her semi wet hair down her left shoulder, clipping it with a black bow to be stylish.

As she opened the door, someone knocked, causing their fist to slightly impact on her chest. She immediately crossed her arms over her boobs and squealed.

"Astrid! I'm so sorry!" Luke held her by her waist with a panicked look.

She realized there wasn't any pain and started laughing like crazy. "Oh my god, that was the funniest thing in the world!"

Luke started laughing as well and the only thing to tear them apart was a cough. "Are you guys coming?" Calum huffed, beginning to walk away.

"Man, what's gotten in his pants lately?" Astrid whispered to Luke as they trekked to the hill holding the fire. Only a few stragglers left; a girl and a boy kissing, a group drinking.

"Not you," Luke murmured.

Astrid snorted and punched him. "Are there even supervisors here?"

"Yeah, but only when we have events. Those happen once every two weeks."

"Oh, okay." Astrid shrugged, plopping onto a bench in front of the fire.

"Ah! The smoke!" Luke literally squealed. "It's getting in my eyes! Shit! Fuck! Dick! Slut!"

Astrid giggled and straddled his lap, throwing her arms around him, causing Luke's face to bury into her shoulder. "Don't be sad, Astrid's here!" She cheered.

Luke murmured, "What're you doing?"

"You said you'd protect me from the smelly smoke so I returned the favor. But instead, I actually took action."

"You're quite adorable." Luke squeezed her cheeks.

"Shut up, weirdo."

"Whatever, ginger." Luke pointed to her hair.
