Bring Me Back To You (Chapter 35)

•Luke's POV•

"Zee," I said in disbelief.

"Hemmings," she smiled. "How are you?"

"I'm good," I said. "How about you? I didn't know you were in Perth."

Zee chuckled and flipped her blue-pink hair to her back. "Moved here after Sophomore year," she said. "Why're you in Perth? Don't you have classes?"

I smirked. "I'm doing shows here," I said.

"Shows?" she asked. "Why? Are you..."

"In a band. With Calum and the other assholes," I smiled. "One Direction got us and here we are."

"Oh my gosh, that's amazing!" she exclaimed. "I remember when you used to sing songs for me back in freshmen year."

We both laughed. Yeah, I remembered that too. I do it like every day. She was such a sweet person. That's why I started to like her.

"So, are you with the others?" Zee asked.

"Yep, wanna see them?" I asked.

"Sure," she answered.

We both walked out of the small house and stepped on the hot sand once again. She was wearing shorts, a bikini top with a white see-through overall. Her toenails were painted bright pink. So were her fingernails as her hair was damp. Always the blue-pink patterned hair.

"There they are," I said, pointing at Calum and Ashton who looked like they were tearing Michael apart because they were pulling him at either sides.

"They could be mischievous sometimes," I chuckled.

"The same old dudes," Zee laughed.

As soon as Ashton spotted us, he let go of Michael, leaving Calum holding his feet and Michael grunted as Calum, too, let go of his feet.

"Zee?" Ashton said as he approached us. "Wow, long time no see."

"I agree, Irwin," she smiled.

"Why, hello, beautiful maiden with the colored hair," Calum said when he caught up with Ashton.

Zee chuckled. "Hi, Calum," she said.

"You don't have to fucking drop my body!" Michael shouted as he met up with us. "Hi, Zee," he said.

"Sorry, dude," Ashton laughed.

"What are you doing here?" Michael asked Zee.

"I go to school here," she laughed. "And I didn't know you guys were famous."

"We aren't," Calum said. "We're just playing in front of people."

"Well, I'm glad you guys are where you are now," she smiled.

"Thanks," I said. "Who's with you?"

"A couple of friends," she said. "Took a day off of school."

"Oh, that's nice," Ashton said, mischievously.

Zee laughed. "Yeah, just today. Well, I gotta go. My friends are probs looking for me."

"Yeah, sure. thanks for the short visit," Ashton laughed.

"No problem," Zee said.

"Oh, wait," I said. "Number please?"

She smirked and pulled out her phone from her pocket. I saved her number immediately when she finished dictating it.

"Thanks, Zee," I smiled. "See you."

"Yeah, you too," she smiled back and walked toward her friends at the other side of the beach.
