Why Even Try?

Starting A New Friendship and Fights?!

Chapter 2

Mia walked across the street to Luke's house, and knocked on the door. His mom opened up.

" Hi!" Mia said.

"Hello? Um are you here for Luke?"

Mia just plainly nodded.

" Okay, he's upstairs in his room. Come in." Mia nodded and walked up the stairs. I heard the song Year Three Thousand by The Jonas Brothers blasting out the doors.

Mia opened the door to see Luke jumping on his bed like a little five year old. Mia laughed and he turned around, facing the Mia and the door. "Haha, umm were you there the whole time?"

Mia nodded and said, "Yea.So...nice dance moves! Did you learn from Nick or Kevin?"

Luke just smiled and said, "Sadly...neither."

"Oh."

"Yeah,I watched a video on how to dance and it was Joe who taught me."

'Mia just laughed.

"Well shall we listen to music?" Mia nodded.

"So your brother never talks?"

"Yeah. Since mom left us, he hasn't even spoken a word."

He nodded "Why did she leave you?"

Mia lowered her eyes and just stared at her hands on her lap.

"Sorry. I understand if it's a touchy subject."

"No, it's fine. You are just curious."

He smiled and nodded. Mia just took a deep breath and said, "Well basically, she chose drugs over us."

Luke just nodded and changed the subject. "OOH I LOVE THIS SONG!!"

He walked over to his steriod and he raised the volume. Mia listened for a bit before realizing Kryptonite by Three Doors Down was playing.

"Really!? This is my brother's favorite song too! He loves it so much he taught me how to play on guitar!"

" You play?"

"Just a bit. He taught me how to play guitar, piano, vocal, and bass."

" Is that all?" Luke said while breathing out a laugh.

" Yeah, Max loves to torture me"

Before he could respnd back to her, his mother came in, wearing a pink and white apron.

"You kids ok?"

" Yes thank you for having me."

"Oh well no problem. I'm sorry about his room. Luke's room is always dark and has never color!"

It wasn't that dark but now that Mia realized that it yeah it was.

" it's ok! Mine is the same." she turned pink. " Well then. I'll leave you kids alone," his mother said while leaving the room.

"She hates me huh?"

" Well from what I heard last night it's a three out of ten." Mia just nodded and smiled.

"Sweet a new record." Luke laughed. He walked her home and after he asked her if tomorrow she wanted to walk to school with him. She said yes,but under one condition. Her brothers would have to be allowed to come too.

"Sure yeah! The middle school is just three blocks away from the high school." Mia and Luke said goodbye and Mia went inside.

"Hey dinner is ready 20 minutes." Molly yelled to everyone in the house from the kitchen.
