Pretending to Be Luke Hemmings

The morning after I reluctantly watched her transform into, well, me and leave. As soon as she left I made breakfast and sat at the kitchen table, thinking about her. Lucy, I mean.

Marina comes into the room, all ready to leave the apartment. She takes one look at me and laughs, "Geez, you're still in pajamas?"

"No, I'm naked," I say sarcastically, taking a bite of my cereal.

"You know," she smirks, "I've gotten more action from Lucy than you have. And she's straight."

I glared at her, trying not to let her... truthful comment affect me. "Whatever."

"You better get dressed, mate," Marina declares. "You have a job to go to."

"Yeah, yeah," I waved her off. "Have a good day at work."

"Thanks," she grins, walking towards the door. "And you... Have a day!"

I rolled my eyes as she left, muttering a few curse words. After finishing my breakfast I made myself more presentable and left, dreading the day to come.

As I walked out the apartment complex, I heard sounds of familiar laughter. I looked across the street and almost jumped out of my own skin. There, just a few feet away from me, were my bandmates and Lucy. They looked like they were telling jokes to each other, and laughing way too loudly for nine in the morning.

I quickly hid behind a bush before they could spot me and have the whole prank be ruined. I looked through the leaves of the bush and glanced at Lucy; and although she looks exactly like me at the moment, I just wanted to run up and kiss her. Imagine if I did.

Then I looked at my bandmates. They looked so happy. They really thought that they were with me. I don't blame them; they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, but then again, neither am I. I sighed, feeling a bit stalkerish as my bandmates walked on, continuing their happy laughter with the girl of my dreams. I really missed them.

But it's worth it, isn't it? I'll finally get to prank them... successfully. They don't know what I'm capable of.

Finally arriving to Stony's on time for my shift, Danny greets me with a fake smile and a nod of his head.

"What's wrong, Dan?" I asked, pretending to care.

Danny sighed. "Girl troubles."

I refrained the temptation of rolling my eyes. Here we go.

"Is it about Lucy?" I guessed, trying not to sound jealous at all.

"As always," he replies. "Hey, have you seen Lucy lately?"

Seen her... nearly kissed her... Same difference.

"Um, yeah, a bit," I tell him, regretting starting a conversation with him. "Why?"

"Has she... err... said anything about me?" he asked, his eyes brightening with hope.

I gave him a sad smile. "Not really, sorry mate."

"She's bound to fall for one of your other band members, anyway," he stated.

I had been walking around as he spoke, but his last comment made me stop dead in my tracks. "Why... Why would you assume that?"

"No offense, mate, but sooner or later your friends are going to discover that she's actually a female and they may try to woo her," Danny explains, unaware of the fact that he's slowly angering me. "And she's bound to give in to their needs."

"I don't think that would happen," I quickly say. I should've said absolutely nothing in the first place.

"Oh well. My heart grows stronger for her everyday, regardless."
