Only You // 5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter 3: The Guy From Science

Sierra's POV

Suddenly I see that all four of the boys move from their places and start to pack up their instruments. And thats when I see him.

My eyes get bigger and I stare at him harder. "Are you okay?" Taylor asks. "You look like you just saw a ghost."

Without taking my eyes off him I ask Taylor and Josh, "Do you know the names of these guys in this band?"

"Ashton, Michael, Calum and Luke, why?" Taylor asks me.

"That's him, that's him!" I say tapping the window with my finger pointing at Luke.

"That's who?" Josh asks looking confused.

"Taylor, you know the new friend I made in Science? Luke?" I turn back to the window and point at him again, "That's him!"

"Wait, what?" Josh asks looking confused.

"So the new friend you made at Science was Luke Hemmings? From 5 Seconds of Summer?" Taylor asks ignoring Josh.

"Yeah?"

"Yay! You didn't make friends with one of the dicky Luke's in our year," Taylor says jumping up and down.

I start laughing at her, "Yeah he's really nice."

RINNNGGGG!

At that moment the loud bell rings and Taylor and Josh wish me a good luck again.

"Thanks," I reply and push open the door to the music room. After I opened the door I realized that Luke and his friends were still in the room and I just opened the door on them. All four pairs of eyes were on me.

"Sorry, we were just packing," The guy who was playing the drums earlier says.

"It's fine," I say with a smile.

"Sierra?" Luke says.

"Oh hey Luke!" I say pretending to just realize that he was in here. "What are you doing here?"

"My band practices here. You have music next?"

"You never told me you were in a band! And yes, what do you have?"

"Sorry? And it seems that all five of us are in the same music class," Luke exclaims.

"Well I'm glad I know at least someone in this class," I sigh.

Luke smiles at me, "Oh and this is Michael," He points at the other blonde guy who was playing guitar. "This is Ashton," He points at the guy who was on the drums. "And this is Calum," He points at the only one in the band with dark hair.

I nod, "Nice to meet you, I'm Sierra," I say with a smile.

"Nice to meet you," Michael says smiling at me.

"Sierra's from England - if you can't already tell," Luke explains to his fellow band members.

"Yup, we can tell. I fucking love your accent!" Calum exclaims.

"Calum don't swear!" Ashton says to Calum.

I laugh, "It's fine, and thanks? I love your accent too..."

"Why thank you," Calum says.

By now most of the class was filled and soon everyone was seated and class started. I had to go through the process of introducing myself to the class and blablabla all over again.

I was with Luke, Calum, Ashton and Michael the whole music class. Music was sooooo fun! Note  that this is the only subject I will ever call 'fun'.

****

"Yeah I'll see you around," I say to the four boys.

"You too," Luke says and we depart our separate ways after Music ended.

---After School---

I walked into the house and collapsed on the comfy couch. I see that Josh and Taylor do the same.

"How was your first day?" Aunt Jackie asks me.

"It wasn't bad at all! I quite liked it actually," I smile with a satisfied look on my face.

"Well that's not something I hear a lot from most kids, I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Did you meet the principal and your new teachers and stuff?" Aunt Jackie asks. I feel an interview from her about my first day coming...

"Yes, I met the principal - she is really nice. And I met a few of my teachers and so far all of them are fine...except for my Art teacher."

"Who's your Art teacher?" Taylor asks.

"Mrs Reid, ugh she is soooo annoying. And her voice is so high, she sounds like Mickey Mouse," I explain.

Aunt Jackie laughs but Josh and Taylor show their sympathy for me. "Sucks..." Josh says.

I scrunch up my nose and rest my back on the leather couch. And the interview continues...

"Did you make any new friends?"

I open my mouth to speak but I get interrupted by Taylor. "Are you kidding?! She's made best friends with Luke freaking Hemmings."

"Robert," Josh adds.

"Robert?" Taylor asks looking at Josh confused.

"Who's Robert?" I ask.

"Luke Robert Hemmings...his name."

"Oh right," Says Taylor. "How do you even know this stuff?"

"You must be their 'number one fan'," I say to Josh with a giggle.

"Shut up, he was in the charity thingy I was in...you know the one I did at the start of the year?" Josh defends himself.

"So you did a 'charity thingy'," I say to Josh stressing on the words 'charity thingy'. "And you find out that his middle name is Robert...?"

"It's a long story," Josh nods.

Taylor gives him a weird look and turns back to her mum. "Okay well she is best friends with Luke...from 5 Seconds of Summer."

"Oh really?! Aw that's nice, he's so sweet," Aunt Jackie replies.

"How do you know him?" I ask Aunt Jackie.

"I've talked to him a few times because when that charity show was going on - the one that Josh was just talking about - his mum and I were both organizing the performances and I went over to their house for some of the planning. So anyways, when I was at their house Luke and his band-"

"STOP RIGHT THERE," Taylor yells.

"What happened?" Josh asks.

"Can you please not say 'Luke and his band' there are four people in the band! It's not 'his band'."

"Feisty Taylor," I say with a roar.

Josh bursts out laughing and we decided to ignore him. "Sorry then, Luke and his friends volunteered to perform at the charity event and so I listened to the band and they were really good! And I always used to go to their house and Luke was always so sweet."

"That's pretty cool...I guess."

"So are you in the same class as him for any subjects.?"

"Science and Music so far," I reply.

"You know, now that I think of it, you two would be a really good couple..." Taylor thinks aloud.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I ask her seriously.

"Language Sierra," Aunt Jackie says glaring at me.

"Sorry..."

"Think about it!" she says.

"Well I don't like him that way," I disagree.

"But you do think he's pretty cute don't you?" Josh questions me.

"I hardly know him! I can't believe you guys think I like him," I say.

"We don't 'think' we know so," Taylor says with a wink.

"Um... No."

"Why don't you three do something more productive with your life?" Aunt Jackie says to us flipping the page of her magazine. "Read a book or something? Don't you have any homework?"

"I don't have any homework."

"Me neither," Taylor says grabbing her laptop from the coffee table. She opens her laptop and so I sit next to her to see what she is up to.

She opens YouTube on a new tab and types '5 Seconds of Summer' in the search bar.

"What're you doing?" I ask while the page loads.

"I'm showing you the band."

"Okay...?" I watch carefully as she clicks on a video that said '5 Seconds of Summer - Year 3000 (Busted cover)'.

"If they ruin this song I will hate them forever," I comment.

"You can be the judge of that," Taylor replies turning the laptop so it faces me.

I watch the video and as soon as it was over Taylor turned to me. "Thoughts?" I was too stunned to even reply, they're freaking amazing! They all have amazing voices and theyre all so cute and they are amazing on their instruments. After a few moments of me being amazed I replied to Taylor, "Freaking. Amazing."

"So they didn't ruin the song?"

"They made it better," I answer with a wink.

"WELCOME TO THE 5SOS FAMILY!" Josh exclaims pulling me into a hug.

"Aww," I laugh.

"The drummer is pretty cute," Aunt Jackie comments. Oops, I forgot she was in the room.

All three of us turn around to face her with a horrified look. "I cannot believe you just said that," Taylor says.

"Mum he's- never mind," Josh says shaking his head.

"Guys don't be mean to the person who puts a roof over your head," I say to the two of them and then turn to Aunt Jackie, "He IS gorgeous."

"That sounded so creepy," Josh says.

"Was I asking for your opinion?" I say to him.

"Sassy Sierra."

I give him a sweet, innocent smile in response.

We spent the next half an hour googling about 5 Seconds of Summer but there wasn't much information about them considering they're not that famous. Most of the information came from Taylor and Josh and their knowledge on the band.

--The Next Day--

My second day of school turned out to be pretty good. I guess I leaned a lot yesterday and I also realized that it isn't that different from the school I go to back home in London. I was walking to fifth period (last period) when I realized I had Science. Yay? I decided that i'm going to ask Luke about his band and tell him how I saw him in the music room yesterday. He still doesn't know about it...not that I've actually seen him since that period.

I pushed open the door with my left hand while my right was filled with my books. As soon as I opened the hard door I saw Luke writing something down in his Science book. I have to admit, he was really cute. His hair was in a slight quiff and he was wearing a black Green Day t-shirt with black tight jeans. He looked...gorgeous.

"Uhm, Sierra?" My thoughts were interrupted by Mrs Dawson. "Sierra? Are you okay?"

"Uh y-yeah," I stutter. I looked around and saw the whole class staring at me and that's when it hit me. I was staring at Luke that whole time. Whyyyyyyy? Ugh.

I look back at Luke and catch him looking up right at that moment. Phew! At least he didn't see me staring at him. I walk up to the place I was given yesterday and sit myself down next to Luke.

"Hey," He says.

I look at him and start staring again. My heart seemed to be beating faster than ever before ...what is this feeling??

"You okay?" He asks me. "Do I have something on my face?"

I couldn't help myself so I burst into laughter and when I finally recovered I managed to answer him. "No... Sorry."

He laughs, "You seem a bit dazed today."

"Yeah, it's been a busy day," I say making that up on the spot.

He looks at me weirdly but shrugs it off, "We gotta copy what's on the board," He tells me.

I open my Science book and start copying what was written on the board in Mrs. Dawson's messy handwriting.

After a few minutes of copying down notes I start a conversation with Luke.

"Oh by the way, you never told me how amazing your band is," I say with a cheeky smile on my face.

He looks up immediately and stops writing. "What?"

"The band you're in... 5 Seconds of Summer? You guys are really good."

"Thanks..." He says slowly.

"How did yo-" He starts but I cut him off.

"Taylor and Josh," I explain.

"Of course," He sighs.

"No, it's fine. You guys are amazing, and I'm not just saying that."

"Well then, thanks."

"So how far do you guys wanna go with this band thing?" I ask him, curious to know more about the band.

"It's something we all want to do as a courier. Hopefully we get noticed someday..." Luke sighs.

"I'm sure you will, you guys are really good."

"Thank you, that means a lot," He smiles at me and my heart melts. "What about you? What do you plan on doing when you finish school?"

"I really want to be a musician, like you. But I can't," I explain.

"Why not?"

"My parents - especially my dad - wants me to be doctor. Because apparently you'll get payed more and if thats what they want me to be, I'll do it. I want them to be proud of me, not to hate me."

"Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Do they know that you don't want to be a doctor?"

"Yeah, they always catch me playing my instruments and writing new songs-"

"You write songs?" Luke interrupts me with his eyebrows raised.

"Yeah," I reply awkwardly. A lot of people don't know that about me.

"You should, ya know, play one for me," He shrugs.

"Oh nooooooo, that doesn't need to be done. No one has ever heard my songs, no one. And I don't think anyone will ever hear my songs."

"Why not?"

"They're really personal," I explain.

"Right," Luke nods. "Well, if you change your mind, I'm always here."

"Thanks," I say to him with a smile.

****

The loud, high-pitched bell rang again for what seemed like the hundredth time today.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Luke says packing up his stuff.

I stopped what I was doing and turn to look at him. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow," I say to him with an awkward smile.

He smiles at me and my heart melts once again. Wow. Do I really like this guy that much?

He waits for me till I pack up my things. "So... How do you go back home? Do you catch the bus or something?" He asks me trying to make conversation.

"No, Josh drives Taylor, himself and I home."

"That must be convenient."

"Yeah it is." I finish packing up my things and follow Luke out of the class.

"Hey Sie- Luke!" I hear Taylor's voice as I take a step outside the classroom.

"Hey Taylor," He says casually.

"I'm just here to get Sierra," She explains to Luke.

"Right. Well, I gotta get home but I'll see you tomorrow," He says to me and starts walking off.

"Bye," I say.

"See ya."

I roll my eyes and turn to Taylor, "Why are there so many cute guys in this country?"

"Woah, woah, woah," Taylor says closing her eyes for a second and opening them up again. "Did I hear that right?"

"Yes, yes you did," I admit.

Taylor starts walking towards the nearest exit in the school and I follow her.

"So you do like Luke?"

"I think so..."

****

Ooooooh! So Sierra likes Luke but does Luke feel the same way?

One last thing, I just wanted to make sure that you all know that this fanfic is set waaaayyyy back when they weren't really famous. So in the fanfic the only people who are fans of the band are they're friends and people at the school and stuff. Just wanted to clear that up :)
