“And we also have a band practice, tonight, if-if you wanna come?” He asks, shyly.
“Yeah! Sure, sounds awesome” I say, excitedly “What time?” I ask.
“10” God that’s quite late.
“Um ok, time does it end?” I ask, and he thinks.
“’Bout 12-ish” He says “You can stay at mine if you want” He smiles and politely goes and throws our rubbish away “To sleep, I mean, or we can play Fifa all night?” He asks, and I can tell he is deadly serious. I don’t hate sports, even though I am lazy as shit, I am quite good at football-related stuff. Especially Fifa.
“I have to warn you” I say, in a deep voice “I will win at Fifa” I smile, and Luke pulls a ‘no way!’ kind of face.
“Whatever” He says, making out he is upset.
“Are you excited for the tour?” I ask, and he smiles.
“Yes!” He shouts “Defo!”
“When do you go?” I ask, and he bites his lip and messes with his hair that isn’t in his beanie. He think.
“Um…” He sighs “A few weeks…” He looks outside.
“Wow, that soon?” I say, with a slight sadness in my voice. I hardly have any time to say bye. And what about graduation? We leave school, me and Luke, in May, what will he do about school?
“Yeah, sorry…” He sighs.
“What about school?” I ask, really curious. He can tell I am really curious because he is thinking really hard.
“I’m gonna take the rest of my exams, on tour, like in this club for bands that finish, school. Cal and Mikey aren’t bothering. Ash has already finished, he’s two years older than me. So yeah, I leave our school in a week, when we go back I mean, a week after we get back.”
“Oh” I say, deflated and upset, yet somehow excited to hell “Cool, I guess”
“When-like ages yet but- When I leave, I’ll Skype you every day, I promise” He says, and I wonder about how he feels about leaving me?
“Okay, cool, I will miss you though…” I trail off, almost crying with happiness and laughter.
“I’ll miss you too” He says “We’re going to UK, America, New Zealand, and Australia” He says, excitedly and happily.
“Okay, good” I say, trying my best to be happy and glad for him.
“Wanna go, um, cinema?” He asks. I wanna go home, but I’ll probably cry so, yeah.
“Yeah, you choose the movie, though” I state and he nods.
“I hear there is a new superhero movie out?” Oh great.
“Sounds, fun” I lie.
Oh god dammit I am gonna miss him.
