A Band of Misfits

Luke's Story

Luke Meyer is an only child with two very busy parents. I'm pretty sure that he is the first only child not to be noticed in the history of only children. Most of you would think that since he was an only child he would have all the attention but it was the opposite. Luke Meyer was raised by a nanny and when he got old enough he basically lived alone with no one there. His parents probably forgot they had a child.

Luke got up to check the fridge for food, it was empty. His wallet was the same way. Usually his parents left money but this time nothing. He did have his debit card which had a couple bucks on it. He knew exactly where to eat. He got ready and drove to 'Reds.' He walked in the diner and saw 3 out of the 5 best friends he had. He waved to them and as soon as they saw him they waved back. Luke sat down next to Aria.

"Hey Luke." Elie said with a smile.

"Sup Bro." River said.

Then there was Aria who had no problem saying what she wanted to him. "Wattup Hero Hair." Aria said grinning.

Elie always thought that the reason for the nicknames was because Aria liked him. But knowing Aria those words weren't coming out of her mouth anytime soon.

Luke took off his hat and brushed his fingers through his dirty blonde hair. He put his 'Obey' snapback back on. The back part was now in the front and vice-versa. "Hi Aria." Luke said not fazed by the nickname. "So what are we eating?" Luke asked rubbing his hands together in excitement for food.

"Nothing. Elie and I are just having drinks and Aria hasn't order." River said.

"Well I'm hungry. Hey Aria is your mon working today?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, why?" Aria asked a bit confused.

"Because she knows what I like to eat." Luke said.

"Ah. Ok Pretty Boy." Aria said calling Luke another name.

Aria's mom stopped by the table a few minutes later.

"Hey Ms. S." Luke said with a smile.

"Hello Luke. I assume you want your regular." Ms. Smith said.

"You know me so well." Luke said.

"Ok well I'll be back with your food." Ms. Smith said before walking to take another order.

"So what's up with Elie?" Luke asked looking at Elie sipping away at the milkshake.

"Why is everyone asking that?" She asked.

"Because we know when something's up." Luke responded.

"Meredith and I got into a fight." Elie said finally telling them what happened.

"Oh.... You're using first names. Is it really that bad?" Luke asked.

"What do you think?" Elie asked sarcastically.

"Wait why didn't you wanna tell me that?" River asked.

"Because I don't need you to worry about me. My problems are least of anyone's worries." Elie said explaining herself.

Aria's mom came back with Luke's food and drink. She put down a basket of fries and a cheesburger with a coke. Aria took a fry without his permission which still didn't bother him.

"Where's Blair and Bryce?" Luke asked with his mouth full.

"Close your mouth." Elie said a little disgusted.

The rest of them shrugged their shoulders.

"Their probably making out somewhere." Aria said.

"How do you know their just making out?" River asked.

"Have you met Blair? That girl wouldn't let Bryce go anywhere past first base." Elie said a little surprised River didn't know that.

"Hey, Blair could be outgoing. I mean maybe Bryce could get lucky. You know he could make a run for second." Luke said trying to talk up Blair.

"Not in this life." Aria said.

They all started laughing.

"Ok, let's be nice she is our friend." River said trying to calm them down.

"Yeah, but it wouldn't hurt her to let loose once in a while." Elie said.

Luke finished his food. He looked around at 3 of his best friends and asked, "So what do you guys wanna do now?"
