I was putting some books away in my locker, when I felt someone’s eyes drill into the back of my head. Turning around I see Luke standing in the middle of the hallway looking at me. Wondering what he wants, I walk up to him. As I stand before him, he flashes me his big smile, showing that cute dimple in his left cheek.
“You look pretty happy today,” I say.
“I am.” He nods enthusiastically, making that one lock of auburn hair fall on his forehead. “It’s a pretty great day.” How I wish I could reach out and brush that lock away.
Then silence as neither one of us knows what to say. The rest of the students pass us by, not realizing something big is going on here. Luke is actually talking to me again, even after what happened with Debra. Maybe I should say something, try to explain things to him.
“Wanna go out?” Luke interrupts my thoughts.
What? My heart is beating out of control. Luke avoids my eyes as I try to figure out if he’s serious. Of course I want to go out with him, that is why all that stuff with Debra happened. Jealousy isn’t a pretty sight.
“Sure,” I say, trying to play it all cool, but the word comes out as only a whisper.
“I mean like on … like on a date type thing?” He looks so nervous biting on his lips, like he doesn’t believe she would really want to go out with him. This makes him even more adorable.
“Yeah I got that.” I smile, trying to reassure him that I really want this. And once again I’m lost in those big blue eyes that melt me on the inside. I can’t wait for our date.
