Falling for Luke Hemmings

A Simple Kiss

Luke's Pov:
The alarm went off and I got up from the bed. It was Monday. I can see Amanda now! Maybe I should wear something nice.. I walked over to my closet and picked out a black shirt with a red flannel and my original black skinny jeans with black converse. Wait.. I always wear this..

I dug through my closet some more pulling out a blue flannel and slid it on. I looked over at the mirror and frowned. This is gonna be a long day..

Amanda's Pov:
I got up to get dressed for school. It was Monday and I was in the mood to dress somewhat nice today. I went through my closet and pulled out a black skater skirt with a white top. I slid on some white hightops to complete the outfit and began curling my hair. I noticed that my black eye was completely healed which made me feel a little better about my appearance.

After I finished, I grabbed my back pack and phone and headed downstairs. "Hey honey! Want some breakfast?" Mum asked. "I'm good. Ill just get something from school." I said. Before I could get out the door she put her arm in front of me. "Is there something wrong?" She asked looking worried. "No why?" I asked with a smile trying to hide it. "You haven't eaten a lot lately.. are you okay?" She asked. "I'm fine mum. I promise." I replied. "Okay.. well get to school. I don't want you late. I love you." She said. "Love you too."

Once I got to school, I out my bag in my locker and pulled out my binder and book. "Uh.. hey.." a voice said from behind me. I turned around to see Luke. "Oh hey, Luke!" I said trying to act natural. He didn't respond except for. stare. "Uh.. you okay?" I asked. He blinked a few times and smiled. "Yeah.. you just look amazing." He said. "Oh haha well thank you. You don't look bad yourself." I said. He put his around around the back of his neck as if he we're blushing.

The bell rang and it was time to go to class. Luckily Luke and I shared the first block together. "Shall I walk you to class?" He grinned. I rolled my eyes playfully at him. "You're shuch a Goofball!" I joked. He chuckled and we both started walking to class.

Once we got to class, I took my seat as did Luke. "Hey Amanda! " Ashton said with excitement. "Oh hey Ash! What are you so happy for?" I asked. He took his seat next to me on the other side as well. "I got a meeting with this band this afternoon for drumming. They might let me in their band!" He said. Luke listened to our conversation but seemed to have gotten annoyed. "Thats great! I hope you get in!" I cheered for him. "Thanks. So how was your weekend?" He asked. "It-" I was cut off by Luke.

"It was fine if you may ask." Luke said. I turned to Luke's attention. "Oh hey Luke! Whats up?" Ashton asked trying to be friendly. "I'm her bo- I mean..uh.. nothing much. Just sitting here I guess.." He said. I looked down at my desk knowing exactly where this was going.

The teacher walked in and handed us our grades back from last week. A+ alright! "What you get Ashton?" I asked. "I got a A-" he said. I held my hand up for a high five and turned to Luke. "What did you get Luke?" I asked. He looked over at me with disappointment. "C" he said. "Hey it's okay. You'll get it next time." I said and still held my hand up to show empathy. He slapped my hand but didn't let go. "Uh.. Luke haha" I said. "Oh.. sorry.." he said and let go.

When it got to lunch time, I sat down at the table and Ashton sat across from me. "So does Luke like you or something?" He asked. "Why you say that?" I asked. "Cause he stares at you all the time and earlier today he acted like he wanted to say he was your boyfriend.." he said. "Wellll.." I stammered. "We like each other.. but I don't think it will work out..I mean we've been best friends since we we're little.. but so has he and Michael.." I said. "Why is that?" He asked. "Cause of Michael. He's in his band." I said. "Wait Luke's in a band?" He asked. I nodded my head.

Speaking of Luke.. here he is.. Luke came and sat at the table with us. "Hey." He said. "Hey!" I said. "What ate you guys talking about?" He asked. "Nothing much. Just talking about how the school cafeteria should serve better food." Ashton replied. "Yeah haha." I said. Thank goodness! I can always count on Ashton to keep his mouth shut. "Oh I wouldn't know haha. I don't eat the food here." Luke responded.

I could tell he wasn't happy. To be honest? I wasn't happy either. I messed up.. I wanted to be Luke's girlfriend. Its just so awkward between us now. "So.. have you found out what your gonna do for your project for chemistry yet?" I asked. "Not yet.." Luke said. I nodded. Y head in response. The help rang again and it was time for 4th block. Last block of the day. I can do this. I haven't seen Michael all day. Maybe I can service this one. Wait.. where's Michael???

After 4th block was over with, I headed to my locker to get my backpack. "Hey Amanda?" Luke asked. I turned over to see him. "Oh hey.. what's up?" I asked. He looked like he couldn't focus in class. His hair was messy and his cheeks we're flushed. "Can we talk?" He asked. "Yeah sure. Whats up?" I asked. "I mean.. at my place?" He said.."oh.. well I'll just text my mum saying I'm doing a project." I replied and began texting her. I looked back up from my phone and then to Luke. He nodded his head and grabbed my arm softly pulling me to his car.

We drove to his house and then went inside. "Everything okay Luke?" I asked setting my stuff down. He shut the door behind him and brushed his hands through his hair. "No." He said. "Whats wrong?" I asked. "You.. that skirt.. that hair.. us.. I just want us. I want you. I want bus to be together. I want you to be my girlfriend. I want" I cut him off. "Woah, Luke.. slow down." I said. He took a few deep breaths and sat on the couch burying his face into his hands.

I wasn't sure of what else to say. I wanted Luke more than anything, but I was too afraid. "Hey.." I began. He looked up with watery eyes. "Luke, I want us to be together too.. but.." I paused. "But what? Because of Michael? Because of the band? We haven't even recorded our first song yet! Forget Michael!" He said. I sat on the couch next to him. "Amanda, I would never hurt you. I promise I would keep you smiling. Ill buy you flowers just because I wanted to. Ill buy you jewelry. Ill buy your" I had to cut him off. "Luke, I don't want you to buy me things.. I just want you.. that's all.." I said.

He nodded his head and looked down at his hands again. Ah damn it! Come here! I reached over and pulled his face closer to mine pressing my lips to his. He wrapped his arms around my waist and to my back. We let go and all I could do was smile. His eyes we're big and his cheeks we're blushing. "Can we start over?" I asked. He nodded his head.

Luke's Pov:
HOLY FUDGEBALLS SHE KISSED ME! I finally can get another chance! I won't screw up this time I promise!

She asked if we could start over again. Yes! Yes! Yes!
