Luke Imagine:

The bell rang and everyone around me rushed out, not sparing a second longer in the maths room than they had to. I tried to be quick in gathering my things but it was no use, one of the last people out as per usual now I had to face the walk to my most dreaded lesson, music.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate music by any means I just didn't like the lesson. In that class I didn't know anyone very well, music was based in this small long hut, with various classrooms and small music rooms with instruments that everyone rushes to get to first. Meaning I am always left sat at a desk writing down some lyrics to a song or other work I need to get on with. Our teacher tries to inspire students but deep down, even he doesn't care what we do he is just trying to get through the day like the rest of us.

As I arrive into the building it immediately feels stuffy, students pass up and down and the sound of music fills my ears. From guitars and drums to saxophones and flutes, various melodies made and I smile. Walking into the classroom I see it is now empty besides my teacher who sits with his coffee. He gives me the usual greeting and I walk back out, hoping to find myself a practice room I could use for once. As I wonder up and down I go around the side of the hut, finding a large room that is long with a piano placed in it with no one in sight. Glancing to the door I check to see if it is private, or reserved but it isn't, it's completely vacant.

Taking one last look I quietly go inside, walking along the white Walls and find myself brushing along the piano a layer of dust collecting on my finger tips. Pulling out the stool I sit down and place my bag next to me, lifting the lid I examine the keys my fingers rising, itching to play something after so long. I search through my bag for any form of sheet music I may have in there and by luck I do, pulling out an old song, fairly simple my teacher taught me when I was only eight years old.

As I begin to play I find myself immersed in the music, and begin to sing to the sweet tune. My concentration completely on the music and the words I zone out, unaware of another's presence in the room. As I look up momentarily I stop harshly, looking to the student in the room who was staring at me, making me feel rather uncomfortable.

"Can I help you?" I intended for my voice to sound more willing as opposed to mousey.

He stepped forward out of the shadows, allowing me to see him more clearly. He had blonde hair, which was in a sort of quiff off to one side, he had blue eyes like the morning sky in between the clouds on a winters day. He kept his gaze locked onto me, I had a faint idea of who he was, a fellow quiet student in my class. I had seen a few of his covers on YouTube but now I wish I had paid closer attention as his name escapes me.

"It's alright Y/n, I heard someone playing and sing and I felt almost drawn to it. I stood by the doorway for a while, blissfully listening before looking in and I saw you." He stopped as a blush crept onto his cheeks, he scratched the back of his head and he did look cute as he did so.

"So you were spying on me?" I joked but he now had a scared look in his eyes.

"No, no! I was just, I just saw you and you are really talented and-" He stumbled for words furthermore and I let out a chuckle, moving towards him.

"It's fine honestly, I just didn't think anyone would've noticed that's all." I said moving away collecting my things.

"Why wouldn't anyone notice you? You're beautiful." Silence filled the air after that, I kept my back turned away from him and no movement was detected.

The silence lingered as I could feel the heat rise in my cheeks. "Did, did you just?" I turned around but he was gone. My heart felt heavy and I assumed I imagined the whole thing, I turned back round to the piano and he jumped up making me scream. "For gods sake!" I yelled to him, causing him to laugh even harder.

"You should've seen your face, you were terrified." He laughed more and it made me smile, thinking how easily I am to freak out since I'm quiet.

Closing the lid to the piano I picked up my music and put it in my bag, all the while he remained leaning on the piano watching me with a bright smile that made me feel all warm inside. I began to make my way around the piano but he stopped before I could get any further. "Is there a problem?" I raised an eyebrow to him and he seemed to have lost all confidence again.

"Do you want to do a cover with me sometime?" He blurted out, then stepped back as I processed what he asked.

"You want me? Me? To do a cover of a song with you?" I sounded downright shocked and gave him the wrong impression immediately by the look on his face. "No no! It's not a bad thing I'm just surprised!" I chuckled and his face lightened up, he did look very attractive with this light shinning on him.

"So you will?" He asked, sounding more hopeful this time and I nodded. Not thinking of a reason not to. "Perfect, say Friday? After school?" He asked opening the door for me.

"Of course, erm?" I still couldn't remember his name and couldn't help but feel awful for not knowing it.

He noticed and grabbed a hold of my hands, "I'm Luke, and you're Y/n." He smiled and we began to walk away, he kept ahold of one of my hands now, not that I was complaining.

As we headed for the exit knowing it was the end of the day we came outside and I let go of his hand, feeling empty without it and began to walk away. I glanced back to see him stood there, with a sad look on his face and I waved but had no response back. Trying not to think of it too much I continued until I heard someone calling after me.

As I turned I saw Luke running towards me, but stopping half way to catch his breath making me laugh and walk towards him to save him the trouble. Stopping in front of him he had his hands resting against his thighs as he breathed heavily. "Are you okay Luke?" I ask rubbing his back but he held up his hand, signalling he needed a moment.

People continued to pass as they left school and some glanced back but after a minute he was back upright looking right at me. "I didn't get to say that you didn't hear wrong." He smiled but I felt confused and it must've shown.

He moved closer to me and bent down so our eyes were level, giving me the perfect opportunity to see how truly blue they were, a pure shade of blue with no fragments of other colours. He moved my hair away from my ear and I could feel his breath tickling against my skin. "You truly are beautiful Y/n." He whispered before pulling away slightly but remained close to me.

Looking at me he moved closer and I responded, closing the distance between us and I could feel his breath on mine. "Y/n! Come on!" I pulled back as I heard my name, whipping my head around to see my brother there impatiently waiting for me.

Looking back to Luke who seemed equally as embarrassed I gave him an awkward smile, apologising for the interruption he brushed it off. "But I'll see you in music tomorrow, piano girl." He winked before walking off, this time leaving me standing there.

Maybe music wasn't my most hated lesson after all.
