There he was, strolling through the school hallway like he owned the place, if this were in slow motion I'm sure you could capture girls faces drop or others flip their hair in fake disgust. The typical 'girl likes boy but doesn't want to be too obvious' thing. Whereas I stood by my locker, completely ignoring his existence as unlike the majority of the girls and even some of the guys in our school I could not give a damn about Luke Hemmings. 

He was arrogant, the kind of confidence that was overboard. It seemed that he had lost that awkward cute vibe which had been replaced by a overly confident so called hot vibe which was less than appealing. A life time ago I had a small crush on Luke, back when he was sweet to me and would help me out with my math work but now he blanks winks at me as I continue to ignore him. Once his attitude changed so did my interest rather drastically.

"Better watch out, fuck boys about." Y/f/n mumbled as I got  hold of my books for the day. Suddenly a arm coated in leather was slung over the door of my locker and leant against it was him. Even from here his musky scent filled my senses, dressed in all black like usual. Across his jaw stubble grew and as I glanced up to his eyes I saw the seductive look that he always held, the one that made most of the girls swoon, most.

"Well well well, how you doing toots?" He asked as his face became closer to mine and I nudged him away from me, not wanting it in my face or personal space. 

Letting out a loud sigh I responded, "I don't go by toots." I bluntly stated as I shut my locker door, hearing a few 'oohs' from his friends. 

"Well what about sweetheart, angel?" He suggest, cocking his eyebrow and smirking as he observed my look, making me shift. 

"Not much of an angel actually." I retorted in a sarcastic manner, hoping he would leave as I began to walk off with my friends feeling so done from his comments on a weekly basis. 

I could hear footsteps as I walked and heard people mutter my name, Luke wasn't one to chase a girl about, they usually went for him. Maybe that's why he followed me, cause I wasn't a lap dog. "So you're more of a devil huh? I mean you sure are hot and why don't I join you in the flames?" He let out a short laugh as his friends made comments on his good compliment but I stopped and turned on my heels, something he wasn't expecting due to the look on his face. 

"I've seen hell and it wouldn't accept you." I flashed him my best smile before I whipped back around and continued to walk with my friends, leaving him stunned and silent along with his friends. 

After a while when I was far down the corridor then I heard my name being called repeatedly, I kept on walking not wanting to look back and further irritate him. "Y/n!" He yelled louder than before causing conversations all down the halls to come to a hush and I turned around with a look of disdain written across my face as Luke continued to walk towards me, all focus now being on the two of us. 

He stood with an actual smile on his face, it wasn't one of his smirks like I expected, instead it was the sort of smile he used to give me when I got something right before, when I solved a difficult equation without assistance. It showed me a glimpse of the Luke I liked, rather than some asshole. He seemed to notice as I felt a small smile cross my face, a glint crossed his eyes that sent a blush to my cheeks. I waited for him to snap out of it, for him to then resort back to his usual state, but in that moment he seemed sweet, kind of nervous to be around me which is something that hasn't happened in a long time. 

"Hi Luke." I spoke up, seeing the side to him that I had missed, no matter how long this may last I'll appreciate the small moment that no one else knew about. How he used to place his hand against my cheek when I got tired to hold my head us so I didn't fall asleep late at night, or when he would come over after we studied at school and just chill, talk about anything. It was all of those small moments that still had an impact in my mind, the things that made me really like Luke beforehand. 

"Hi Y/n." He let out a light chuckle that made me lower my head and stare at my feet but I felt a fingers brush across my chin, slowly lifting my head back up and in that moment I realised how close he had become to me. My breath became hitched as he looked into my eyes, just like he did when we listened to music in his room. We had a dancing session that turned into a slow dance, how I glanced up to his face, how badly I wanted to kiss him in that moment but tore my eyes away from him and led my head against his chest instead. 

The same feeling was forming over me, flowing through my veins, the nerves mixed with excitement just surfacing once again. I kept my eyes locked on his as we stood there, conversations around us had finally continued but remained fairly quiet, probably confused to how someone has silenced Luke Hemmings. "So, how can I help you? I mean since you did yell my name." I joked and shuffled on the spot. 

"I wanted to ask if you still needed help with any subjects? I know you're in my chemistry class." He scratched the back of his neck as he spoke, the black t shirt rising exposing his bare skin. 

I thought for a moment, considering I'm fairly good at chemistry and didn't need help. "I'm doing pretty good in chem actually, but are you struggling in English?" I asked him as I thought back to our grades being displayed for all the class to see, remembering Luke's being just below a pass.

"Yeah," He was apprehensive, "Yeah, I'd really like that." A smile formed on his face as he looked around before going into an empty classroom, waiting for me to follow him. "I've really missed you." He let out a sigh as he rested against a desk, I stood opposite him, completely confused. "Since we didn't talk and all this happened I liked how you weren't all over me like the rest of them." I let out a dry laugh, interrupting his little speech. 

"I'm sure you must've hated it." Sarcasm replaced my sweet tone from beforehand as I pictured the various girls Luke had on his arm everyday. 

"I just, I got carried away. I don't want that anymore, I want you." I cocked my eyebrow up at him, taken aback by his statement. My eyes darted around the room to see if anyone else was with us, that I was mistaken for someone else. "It's you Y/n, I guess I was just blind." He chuckled as he stood up and lent in front of me, placing his arms on the table I lent against. 

"Or just dumb." I mumbled but he smiled, assuming he had heard. 

"God I missed you." I felt a blush rise to my cheeks, only just realising I did miss Luke, no matter how much I wanted to deny it from myself it was a fact. 

"I missed you too," I thought aloud, unsure on what to say now. 

Luke remained within a very close proximity to me, his eyes wondering from my eyes to my lips as he leant forward, I found myself doing the same until I could feel his hot breath on my lips. The next thing I knew was I was finally doing what I should've done all that time again, I was finally kissing Luke, the Luke I always liked. As he pulled away his hands were placed on top of mine as he whispered into my ear, "See you for an after school session later Y/n." He winked as he pulled away and left the room, leaving me slightly stunned and silent. 

I guess he could join me in hell afterall.
