||Updated 11.20.18 Happy birthday mikey <3 

"Class! Please welcome back Luke!" he walked into the room and Liz rolled her eyes, turning slightly more towards Harry. "In case anyone was wondering, this is Jack Hemmings younger brother! Will you be taking on your brothers legacy this year?" the teacher turned to Luke who chuckled.

"Actually, I think I'll make my own." Liz's skin crawled. His voice, his tallness, his everything looked so different yet it made sense. "I played at my last school so I'm hoping I can join on here." he smiled and made his way to the back of the room where Calum sat.

"That's great to hear Luke." the teacher smiled before looking at his paper. "We don't have much to cover today but this room will act as a homeroom for the first fifteen or so minutes. First up, we have a new president who is in charge of all the group who we luckily have in here. Elizabeth, care to tell them about some of the clubs we have?"

Her head shot up when her name was said. "Uh, yeah, of course sir." she stumbled slightly as she stood up. Harry shot his arm out to help her steady herself, a few of the kids laughed to themselves. She gave him a small smile and walked to the front of the room with a piece of paper.

"How come we didn't vote for a new president?" Calum shooted out and looked at Liz, making her shift slightly. Luke glanced at Calum.

"Everyone did Hood, you just decided to skip that day.' the teacher waved his hand and motioned for her to start.

"So to begin with, there is an english- book club, an art club, photography- " she motioned towards Harry. "Sports, chess, music, along with a band one.." She listed a few more groups, not looking up from the paper. "If you have any questions, just come find me or be on the lookout for some flyers." Liz quickly made her way back to Harry and sat down. Harry patted her elbow and Luke looked away.

"Music club sounds good," mumbled Calum.

"You have to be good at music to join it." Luke looked him over. "Do you even play anything?"

Calum placed his hand over his heart to act like he was stabbed, "Ouch Hemmings, and for your information, I do."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"I'll be famous one day, you just watch."

The rest of english seemed to drag on. They were paired off into groups for the first part to talk about a book they were supposed to read over the summer. O course, Liz and Harry were in his group with Calum.

"Did you even read it?" Calum eyed Luke and who glanced at the book that looked brand new.

"Wasn't really on my mind. I just moved back, remember?" Luke pushed the book away and sat up in his chair, who chose to sit closer to Calum than to Harry.

"I bet Sky was on your mind." Harry mumbled and Liz punched the side of his leg, making him jump.

Luke looked at him. Harry was a stranger now and he could care less what he thought about him. He rolled his eyes. "I would hope so, she's my girlfriend." Luke stood up as the bell rang and grabbed his things before walking to the exit. He wanted the day to end. He wanted to go home and fall into bed like he never left Mikey and Ashton.

Luke leaned against his locker and check the time. He noticed the date and his eyes widen. Calum noticed and squinted slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I forgot to text Mikey, it's his birthday."

Calum laughed. "Aw, how could you forget your boyfriends birthday?" he whined in pain when Luke punched him in the arm.

To mikey:

Happy birthday dude! I got distracted with the first day of class. Facetime later??

Luke sent the text on the way out to the car with Calum. He added,

To mikey:

Also don't party too hard without me, you're too far for me to drive to you.

From mikey:

Aw babe, thank you! I miss you, I hope the day went well?? Also of course we can facetime. I'll try my best not to party too much

Luke chuckled and put his phone away. Skylar came over and wrapped her arms around his neck. He instantly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to him, placing a soft kiss on her lips. He heard Calum choke on whatever he was drinking.

"I missed you baby, I can't believe we only have one class together," she whined and pulled away slightly.

"I know, it sucks," he smiled softly. "Look babe, Cal and I have to get home to practice a bit before tryouts come up. I'll text you." he placed another soft kiss on her lips before pulling away from her. She sighed and nodded.

"Alright, I'll see you Luke."

Calum and Luke got into the car and drove home.

Luke still wanted to curl up into a ball. He missed Liz.
