Luke nervously walked into his first class, and took a seat beside a brunette boy with curly-ish hair.

"Hey.." The guy said, and smiled over at Luke. "Hi. I'm Luke." The blonde boy said quietly. "I'm Harry. Are you a freshman?" The guy asked, and Luke nodded.

"I'm really nervous." Luke admitted, quietly laughing. "Nothing to worry about. You'll do just fine, besides, aren't you the really good pitcher that we just got on the baseball team?" The guy asked. "I mean, I guess so." Luke said, and blushed a little.

"Yeah, Hemmings? I was visiting family when you came to check out the field and stuff." Harry said, and Luke nodded. "So you're on the team too?" Luke asked hopefully. He felt intimidated by all of the other guys.

"Yeah. I didn't expect the new guy to be so pretty.." Harry said softer, causing Luke to blush. "Wow, thank you," Luke said, playing with his hands.

"No problem, you deserve it. You know, if you want, we could maybe hang out after class and I could buy you coffee or something." Harry said, and Luke's face fell a little.

"I really appreciate it, but I'm not sure how my boyfriend would feel about that.." Luke said softly.

"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had a boyfriend. I apologize." Harry said, and Luke shook his head. "It's okay. You didn't know." Luke said.

"But, honestly you're one of the nicest people I've met here, so I hope we can still be friends. I really enjoy your company." He said, making Luke smile.

"Of course we can."

Luke pushed up his glasses, and started to walk into his apartment building when he heard something.

"Luke, wait!" He heard. He turned to see Harry waving at him. His smile fell when he noticed the lady a few feet in front of him, walking with a man.

"Luke!" The lady then yelled, walking over to him quickly.

Harry looked confused as he walked beside Luke, looking at lukes mom and a random man he didn't know.

"Harry, let's go. Please leave me a-"

"Luke, this is your dad." She said, and Luke looked up at the man. His eyes burned as he stared at him. Luke reached behind him, and grabbed Harry's arm. It was the only thing He could do to calm himself down a little.

"Hi Luke.." He said, and Luke shook his head.

"No. Don't- don't talk to me. Both of you need to leave me alone." Luke said, and she sighed.

"That's no way to talk to us. We're your parents." She said, and Luke's face turned angry. "I don't have parents. You beat me until I ran away, and he left me with you. You two mean nothing to me, and if you come near me one more time, I will get a restraining order." Luke said, and walked into the apartment building.

Harry followed, and Luke was surprised when he saw him in the elevator.

"I'm sorry about that." Luke whispered, and looked down. "It's okay. I didn't know you lived here though. We both live on the 8th floor." Harry said, and Luke smiled.

"Do you wanna come over? You can meet my boyfriend- sorry if that was creepy." Luke said, stopping himself.

"No, I wanna meet the lucky guy." Harry said, so him and Luke both walked to Luke's apartment.

Luke wiped the rest of his tears, but he knew as soon as he saw Michael, he was gonna cry again.

When they got in, Luke ran into his room, leaving Harry to laugh at him, and shut the door.

"Dude, cool guitar." Harry said, and went over to admire Luke's acoustic and the blonde boy face timed Michael from his laptop.

"Thank you." Luke said, and Michael answered right after he said that.

Luke's eyes filled up with tears just like he knew they would. He sniffled, and wiped his eyes.

"Luke?!" Harry asked, and ran over to Luke to make sure he was okay. "What's wrong?" Harry asked, and Michael's face twisted in confusion.

"I'm okay. I just miss him. Harry, this is Michael." Luke laughed, and Harry sat beside him on the bed.

"Oh, that explains it. Nice to meet you, man." Harry said, and Luke smiled.

"Don't worry, Michael. I hired him to hold me while I wait for you to move here." Luke said, and giggled, laying his head down on Harry's shoulder for a second.

"You're cute, Luke. Nice to meet you too, Harry." Michael said

"I miss you, Mikey. I love you." Luke said, and smiled.

"You too.." Michael said quietly, making Luke frown a little. Michael usually didn't have such short responses.

"Anyway, how did you two meet?" Michael asked.

"It's kinda funny, actually. Don't hate him.." Luke giggled, nudging Harry's side. The brunette boy groaned in embarrassment. "I thought Luke was cute, so I tried hitting on him." Harry said. "But don't worry Michael, I had to break his heart. I could never replace you." Luke said, but Michael had no emotion.

"Mikey.. What's wrong?" Luke asked, but got no answer.

"Give us a minute.." Luke whispered before grabbing the laptop, walking to the living room.

"Michael, tell me what's wrong." Luke said.

"I cheated on you."
