Student Exchange Love Story(completed)(EDITING)

Chapter 10: another chapter in life

Ava(p.o.v)

I've lost some weight since I joined the team one or two months ago. I think it was two months ago since Luke and Bill are extremely excited that their friends are visiting all the way from Spain.

I was glad I lost weight, I don't consider myself fat but I think I like how I look now. I saw Luke's car park by my driveway. Time to go.

I sat on the passengers sit and gave him a kiss... a long kiss. It was becoming normal for us but I couldn't stop it, Luke's lips seemed to always call my lips. His kisses were the best... "mmm we have to go" I said breaking the kiss "no five more minutes" Luke said... have you ever felt like someone just fits you right? I feel like Luke is part of the puzzle that was missing in my life, yes it sounds corny but he makes me so happy!

We finally stopped making out and drove to school "so babe, do you have any ideas on what costume you are going to wear for Eds Halloween party?" Luke asked me, oh I had totally forgotten about it.

"is it this Friday?" I asked "yes babe, I told you last weekend we should go costume shopping and you said okay"

"I don't remember.. I'm sorry I've been so busy with practice and homework" I explained, ugh the party is on Friday and today is Wednesday... I need to go costume shopping asap.

"do you have your costume?"

"Ava you told me to buy it with you last week , remember? you were saying you wanted something cute for me"

"oh that's true" I said putting the palm of my hand on my face "let's go after school" I said "umm we both have practice today" Luke said shaking his head "what?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Nothing love, you just been a little lost in the last couple of days, are you okay?" He asked , we had arrived to school and he parked right next to Shins car as usual.

"I'm okay... it's just... Nothing"

"tell me Ava, what's wrong?" He asked turning the engine off, I wasn't planning on saying anything but it was really bothering me "A girl from the dance team told me that you, Tyler and Alexandria go to the back of the school to smoke weed right before practice and that's why Alexandria is always late"

"Do you believe that?"

"you tell me Luke, do you smoke weed? And do you do it with freaking Alexandria?"

"Ava you know I stopped smoking! hello! I got beat up by my dad because of that! and why would I smoke with Alex when I know you can't stand her?"

"oh my!! stop raising your voice" I said

" I went with Tyler once and as soon as Alex showed up I left and No I did not smoke, you know I always hear shit about you and Oliver but I don't believe it because I trust you" he said biting his upper lip, he does that when his mad.

"what do you hear about me and Oliver? I don't even hang out with him"

"stuff you know, things like he's trying to get back with you or 'Ava is going to dump Luke for Oliver just wait and see'"

"who says that?" I asked in a calmer tone of voice, I instantly regretted even mentioning what I heard.

"people..." he took a deep breathe and continued to say "I'm sorry I raised my voice but it really bothers me that you would think I would smoke when" he stopped right there and stared at the window not wanting to look at me... I felt so bad, I shouldn't have said anything....I knew it hurt Luke to talk about what happened with his dad and now because of me he was remembering that horrible day.

I placed my hand on top of his and squeezed it "I really care about you and I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry" I said but he wasn't staring at me "it's okay... can you uhm give me a few minutes alone? I'm not mad I just want a few minutes by myself"

Narrator:

Kelly and Bill were walking around , holding hands before the bell rang "There's so much tension between Luke and Ava" Bill said squeezing her hand "well they will solve it, Ava likes him and he likes her and that's all that matters"

"Just like I like you and you like me?" Bill asked Kelly grabbing her by thewaist and pulling her close to him "well yes just like that, I'm glad I met you Bill"

"I'm glad I met you too,want to know a secret?"

"what?"

"You are my first real girlfriend"

"am I? really?" Kelly asked with excitement "yes, you are my first real girlfriend and you are the first one I really care about "Bill said giving Kelly a kiss on the forehead.

Luke(p.o.v)

I never thought I was going to get so upset about the whole smoking thing... but when Ava mentioned it it took me back to when my dad hit me, I hadn't thought about it in so long. Why couldn't I have a normal dad? instead I got stuck with an alcoholic parent who would beat his kids up for no reason.

ugh but let's just forget about it. I will be fine I have good friends, my mum is s good mum and I have the best girlfriend ever so I guess life doesn't suck that much.

NARRATOR:

Weeks had gone by and Luke ,Shin, Bill , Ava and Kelly were doing great. The only thing that had changed was that Bill and Luke weren't as close as they used to... since Luke joined the team he's been more close with his teammates specially Tyler and Ed.

Bill on the other hand got closer to Shin, they would hangout all the time and Bill joined the science team.

December was finally here and everyone was excited for winter break specially Luke and Bill, why? well their friends were finally going to visit them... the only bad news were that Jay decided to go to Australia.

"It really bothers me that my brother is not coming" Luke said to Tyler who was playing angry birds on his phone "dude is your brothers lost" Tyler said.

Luke was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling "he's my brother man , I miss him"

"he obviously is still mad about what happened" Tyler said , Tyler had become his close friend... Tyler and Ed were the only ones that new about his dad and about his brother Jay.

"He should just forget about it... by the way you want more tea?"

"Yes please"

Luke got up and grabbed both empty glasses, he went downstairs and saw Bill in the dining room with his laptop "hey" he said awkwardly... him and Bill hadn't sit and talk like they used to in weeks. They weren't acting like friends living together... they were acting like strangers living under the same roof and it did hurt Luke a little that they had parted ways.

"sup" Bill said not even looking at him, he kept typing on his laptop.

Luke entered the kitchen and got some tea for him and Tyler, "I can't believe that this Friday our mates are coming" Luke said raising his voice from the kitchen so Bill could hear him.

"Yeah I'm excited" Bill said taking a bite from his peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and that was the end of the conversation. Luke went upstairs and Bill stayed downstairs.

-FRIDAY-

"I'm so excited for my mates to get here, they are the best" Luke said parking right next to Shins car.

"At what time are they going to be here?" Ava asked

"Well Daniel told me that they'll probably arrive around 12am so me and Bill need to get to the airport at 11:30 I'm so excited" he said squeezing Ava's hand then giving her a kiss "I am too I can't wait to finally meet your friends"

Luke(p.o.v)

good thing it's Friday that way on Saturday I can throw a welcome party for my mates. I've never been this excited since... since me and Ava started dating.

This Christmas and New year's will be the best ever...
