Punk Meets Ballet , l.h.

9

so it's 30 minutes into class and remi has ignored me the entire time.

michael is teaching her guitar and I'm just sitting next to them listening to music.

oh my god I forgot to tell her about the dancing constellations!

I pulled out my earphone. "hey rem-" I started.

"yeah," Michael chuckled. "but babe, you gotta put your hand-" I shoved my earphone in and slouched.

I took out my notebook and started filling up the page with my favorite lyrics. about 10 minutes went by until I noticed rem sit on the floor in front of me. I looked from my notebook down to her and slowly closed the book and paused my music.

"hey." she hummed.

"hi." I bit the inside of my lip where the ring went through the flesh.

"whatcha doin?" she raised her eyebrows.

"uh, just writing.." I shrugged.

"about?" she tilted her head.

"music." I shrugged again and put my notebook in my bag. she nodded and I looked around the room to see Michael moved over to remi's brother.

"so what's up with that Michael guy?" she asked after a few moments of silence.

my cheeks turned red and I wanted to scream at her. "he's a great guy." I said instead, but gritted my teeth.

"hm, doesn't seem like it." she moved from her place on the floor in front of me, to sitting right next to me.

I cocked a brow,"what do you mean?"

she shrugged,"I dunno... he seems kinda like a douche? like he definitely wasn't teaching me very well and i kept asking him if you were gonna help me and he just said,"nah he's got nerd things to do" so I just told him I was gonna hang out with you. and he fits the image of a total punk ass." she chuckled and shook her head. "yanno, like a jackass with piercings and forgetting the names of girls he had fucked?" she nudged my shoulder. I grinned as nudged her back.

"not all punks are like that, yanno."

"are you even punk, hemmings? you study the stars and write poetry. if anything I think you're just a total cheese." she smiled.

"am not! also I have something for you. this is totally a cheese move, but also totally worth it." I chucked and reached into my backpack, pulling out my constellation book, ripping out the page about the dancing constellation.

I handed it to her and she read it, scanning her eyes over the terrible doodles I drew and the theory of how ballet was created from the stars. she looked up and smiled the biggest smile I've seen.

"luke!" she squealed and wrapped her arms around my neck. I chuckled and felt my heart fall to my ass. I wrapped my arms around her torso and squeezed back. "this is amazing! I love it! thank you so much!" she pulled back and stared at the paper again, grinning.

"of course. I did a bunch of research last night. I thought you'd enjoy it." I twirled the ring around on my pinky.

"you're out of this world." she laughed loud.

"my fucking god." I groaned while smiling.

"pick me up after school." she said with a smile as the bell rang and walked out of the room.

I looked down with a smile plastered on my face.
