Guitar Boy~ L.h

I was sitting in my math class on Friday calmly pretending to pay attention (when in reality I was having an imaginary conversation with Kurt Cobain in my head but that's not important) when I heard my name being called out by the teacher making my head shoot up.

"Miss Jackson, mister white wants to see you"

I blushed slightly seing as every one was watching me while I gathered my things and scurried out to the hallway, my mind racing with every possible reason why our balding music teacher would want to see me but nothing came up. When I arrived at the music room it was already full with around fifteen people, including Luke who sat at the far corned of the classroom, a small smile making it's way onto his face once he noticed me.

"Ah, Hailey, you're the last one that was missing" he stood up and started pacing the room as I sat down next to Luke "you guys may be wondering why I have pulled you out of your classes and gathered you here today, well as you may know our school doesn't have a very good music and arts program, they don't give music the attention it deserves and I would like to change that" he was right and that always bothered me about our school, seniors didn't get music classes because it was "a waste of time" and "we should focus more on things that matter, like grades" according to the principal.

"Each of you is here today because you all are talented musicians-"

"Wait how do you even know I play?" Luke's voice echoed through the room.

"I heard you once in the music room, you are really talented young man, gear voice, very powerful"

"Oh" Luke mumbled, blushing and looking down.

"Anyways" Mr. White clapped his hands " I'm organizing a sort of concert, I guess you could say, the whole school will attend and Each of you will be performing wether it's individually or with the collaboration of other people, I'm hoping if the principal sees the talent and potential we have at this school he'll realize how important music is and he'll bring the arts program back, you'll have a month to prepare yourselves. You can begin now, you have the rest of the period"

As soon as he explained we were gonna be performing Luke's eyes widened and he started looking around frantically, by the time the teacher had finished talking he looked about ready to have a panic attack.

"Hey Luke?" I grabbed his sweaty hand, making him snap his head at me.

"I can't do it Hailey, playing for you is something but playing I'm front of the entire school is something completely different, I can't do it. Oh God I'm gonna suck, I'm gonna fail and they're all gonna laugh at me and-"
"Luke" I cut him off, smiling at how adorable he was "it's gonna be okay, we'll perform together and I'll be with you the whole time"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Besides you have nothing to worry about, I'm not trying to kiss your ass when I say you're talented, you really are great Luke"

"Thanks" he smiled.

"Anytime" I stared into his eyes and he stared right back, it was as if I could get lost on the blue of his eyes, it was so deep and beautiful i was completely mesmerized by it. We stayed like that for what felt like forever until I realized what I was doing and coughed to snap out of my trance.

"So"...Luke rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly "what should we play?"

"I don't know" I sighed "wait! I have the perfect song"

"Really?"

"Yes! It's perfect oh my god this is gonna be amazing!" I squealed "come on" i grabbed his hand and pulled him to the keyboard on the corner of the room.
