Luke and Michael sat at their lunch table, not paying any attention to what the other three people were discussing about. Michael was busy watching his best friend stare at Ashton who is talking to Calum. Luke sighed, knowing that Ashton will never interact with him like that. Not after the whole restaurant incident.

"It's a bummer that you fucked up once again."Michael sighed, breaking the silence after awhile.

"I–I didn't mean to! I didn't see him coming!"Luke tried to argue, knowing his best friend is right.

"Right. You need to go and apologise to him."

"How? He fucking hates me and refuses to talk to me! He always hated me and it's impossible for him to talk to me! I tried to strike a conversation with him but he always responds with rude comments."

"That's something you should figure out yourself. Try to understand why he hates you, try and be extremely friendly with him."the black haired boy informed.

"Every time I do, he always sass back with comments that strikes back."

"Alright, how desperate are you to talk to the boy?"Michael ask.

"What the hell do you mean desperate! All I want is to talk to him but he despise me!"he exclaim, not understanding how that sounds desperate when he just wants to talk to the dirty blonde boy that captures his mind.

"I wish I could help you, but it's time to take it in your hands. Come on, you are Luke Hemmings for god sake! You are the team captain of the Sydney Badgers! Everyone loves you!"Michael enthuse his best friend, hoping that could help boost his confidence.

"Fine,"he roll his eyes as a smile form on his lips.

Maybe Michael is right, he is Luke Hemmings, team captain of the school's hockey team and well-known!

Ashton sat on the seats at the ice rink, watching his best friend practice for the upcoming game. He was hopeful that he could make it to this one, he really wants to be there when his team won a game. He made sure to wear a sweater so he didn't get cold just sitting there for an hour.

He watch Calum glide across the ice with his stick in his hand, casually pushing the puck to the goal.

In came Luke gliding across the ice in a fast pace. Waiting for someone to give him the puck as he shove the others with his broad shoulders, pretending to be the other team that they were versing here soon. Ashton rolled his eyes at the scene in front of him, clearly not interested to see Luke showing off.

Luke look at the seats and saw Ashton sitting there with a bored expression on his face. He frown, he really wants to impress Ashton. He doesn't understand why he's not fond of him, he doesn't remember doing anything wrong that made him hate him.

"Um, mate? Not to be rude or anything but why are you staring at my best friend?"he heard Calum ask, making him jump as his cheeks heat up a little.

"I—uh, I didn't mean to stare at him. I was deep in thoughts and uh, just happened to stare at Ashton."he stutter, trying hard to control the pink that's covering his face.

With Calum, he's not an oblivious person. He could see the pink that was covering his team captain's face as a slight smirk tug on his lips."You fancy my friend, Hemmings?"

With that sentence, it caught Luke off guard as he was trying to skate towards the goal. He ended up falling on his face as he heard Calum chuckle.
