Color Me Crazy // luke hemmings

Emelia

I quietly sing along to my music until I see a light turn on in the room next to me, followed by a window opening.

"Hey stranger." I look to my left and see the, still unnamed, blond boy standing next to me.

"Hi," I flash him a smile. He lies down and folds his arms under his head. 

"Couldn't sleep either?" I ask, looking at the time on my laptop. 2:48 am

He nods and sighs.

"Yeah, I've been having restless nights for quite some time now." I put away my laptop and sit up so I'm facing him. 

"How come?" Looking at him expectantly he just shrugs. 

"I don't know really. Could be a lot of things.. not something to discuss right now, I guess." 

I nod and give him a pillow that's on my windowsill.

"It sucks that I have to share my roof now," I hear him say after a while. "It's my alone-place." 

"Maybe it can be our shared alone-space" I tell him and chuckle. He turns his head to look at me instead of the star filled night and smiles.

"I'd like that, Bear's Den girl." 

"I have a name you know." I say and slap his arm. I stick out my hand and he shakes it.

"Emelia." I tell him.

"Nice to meet you, Emelia. I'm Luke." He says and gets up to go back inside without another word. 

"Hey Luke," He turns around and looks into my eyes. "nice to meet you too." I say and gather my things to go to bed. 

He smiles at me and closes his window. 

I wake up at around 8 am by the sound of someone knocking on my door.

I groan and put my pillow over my head.

"Come in."  I shout and my mom enters my room softly, sitting at the edge of my bed.

"How did you sleep? I noticed you were outside until pretty late last night," She opens my curtains and looks outside for a brief moment.

"You and Luke seem to be hitting it off already." She chuckles and nudges my leg.

I sit up and rub my eyes. "I suppose, it's just nice to have someone my age around here," I say and throw my blankets off.

"I already found out we have a few things in common, so that's nice." Grabbing a pair of shorts and a shirt I walk into my bathroom. 

My mom follows close behind and sits on the edge of my bath. "You think you could potentially be more than friends ?" She winks at me through the mirror and I turn around in shock.

"Mom, I literally met this boy yesterday.. I didn't even know his name until 3 am last night. If I just went back to sleep he would still be McDonald's boy." I say throwing my arms up and getting back to brushing my hair.

"Okay, yeah but, it's inevitable right.. You're going to be living next to each other for a long time. And it's about time you got a boyfriend." 

I put my head in my hands and face her again. 

"I'm seventeen ! Please just let me finish school first." I tell her and push her out of my bathroom so I can get changed. 

When I get downstairs to eat breakfast I see that my mom and her new found friend are busy chatting about me and Luke's potential relationship. 

I shrug it off and take my toast and coffee up to my roof to enjoy the beautiful morning sun.

"You didn't even bother to make me toast too ?" I hear a voice from beside me say and I jump a little.

I look up to find Luke, wearing a twenty one pilots shirt and some grey sweats. He yawns and sits down next to me.

"No, get your own breakfast, nerd." I tell him and push him when he tries to steal my plate. 

"I'm too lazy to go downstairs.. please ?" He looks at me with his big, blue puppy eyes. I sigh, giving in to his little trick and hand him my plate. 

While Luke quietly munches on my breakfast I scroll through my phone in search of some interesting things on instagram. I quickly open the camera and snap a picture of Luke eating the toast and put it on my profile.

                                emelia.romanov: this dork is eating my food. Sydney is being nice to me so far ! 

"Did you just post me on your instagram?" I hear Luke ask from beside me and I nod.

"At least tag me !" He yells and grabs my phone, following himself and liking a few of his pictures.

"Thanks, that's totally what I was planning on doing right now." I tell him and snatch my phone back before he could do any more damage. 

"I also put my phone number in there, in case you wanted that."  He smirks and sets the plate of food down. Luke gets up, dusts of a few crumbs and holds out his hand for me.

"What are you doing ?" I ask him, but take his hand and stand up anyway.

"C'mon, I'm showing you around town."
