hope || luke hemmings

Hi I'm Hope, I'm 17 years old and I live in Sydney Australia. I'm in my third year in birchwood academy and I'm doing ok I guess all A's and B's so.....Yeah

that annoying sound rang through my ears

"Mum,Dad Baileys awake!!" I groan load enough for them to hear no response so I get up and walk into her room flick on her light and pick her up out her cot.

"good morning angle" I say to her and she giggles. I carry her down stairs and sit her in her high chair and check the time,5:30 uggh to early. I check my phone and I have school today. shit. I run up to my room to get ready.

a few minutes later I'm ready in teal shorts with studs outlining the pockets and my teal tank top with a cross made of studs all finished off with my teal sandals with a few studs. Yeah I like teal and studs. I did all that listening to Busted, Mcfly, Nirvana and all my favourites. Mums awake now and she's making pancakes and banana smothies. I do my blue and light green dip dyed hair in a side fishtail and put on a bit of concealer. I then grab my phone and run down stairs, eat some pancakes and pour my smothie in to my Starbucks cup. I grab my phone and my earplugs say bye to my family then listen to my busted playlist with my earplugs and head for the tube.

I sit in an empty seat on the tube listening to my music until someone pulled out one of my earplugs. my head shot up to see who it was. Sat there was a tall boy with messy blonde hair and bright eyes staring at me with my earplug in

"umm....do you mind?"I ask with some sass I mean wouldn't you if you were sat and some random stranger started listening to you music

"Yeah can I help you?" he asks in his deep Aussie accent

"uh your listening to my music using my earplugs!" I state the obvious

"oh yeah sorry I couldn't help myself I love that song." he said taking out the earplug

"No, no keep it in just ask next time." I smile as 'year 3000' came on.

"oh man this song!" we say in unison

"wait you like busted?"I ask genuinely surprised

"like? their one of my favourites!"

"omg" and we laugh

"I'm Hope" I say smiling

"I'm luke" he replies

"so where are you going this early in the morning?" he asks polity

"school, birchwood academy!" I sigh

"really I've never seen you before" he says but it comes out more of a question.

"Yeah I'm in my third year. what's you main subject?" I ask

"English literature with Mr.tag" he replies as my eyes widen

"what?" he asks concerned.

"your taking the same main subject as me!" I observe out loud

"really well I guess we have to be partners then" he laughs jokingly

"okay sure" I say happily

"wait really you would partner with me?" he asks as if I just said I would marry him.

"oh is that ok cause if not that's fine I mean if you want to bu-"

I'm cut of by him laughing

"what?" I ask thinking this must be a prank by the popular kids.

"hey don't look so sad you just bagged the best friend and best work partner ever." he says smiling. fuck that smile.

"well we better get of this is our stop" he says smiling

turns out our lockers are really close and we have most classes together. we go about our day first trigonometry, then Spanish after that we go to subway for lunch and I refill my Starbucks cup with a fruit lemonade. then we have last double period free so we sit and talk and listen to music.

"For you homework this week you must work with you partners from school" our teacher booms. yep that means I have to work with luke.

"do you want my number then?" luke asks smiling

"sure just put it in" I say handing him my phone and he hands me his

I put me name in as 'Hope ;) <3' and he put his in as 'Luke tha bestie'

he walks me to my house and we say good bye

"call me when you can ok?"he says walking down my drive

"ok bye" I call back walking into my house

"who was he"my big brother Theo demands

"aghhh Theo you scared the shit out of me" I say my smile fading away

" sorry....now who was he?" he demands

"oh God Theo he's just a fucking friend for fucks sake " I fire back annoyed

"God sis for fucks sake calm down "

"well stay out of my fucking life" I scream running up to my room

I change into some pyjamas shorts and a baggy busted top, put some music on and doodle for a bit.

there was a knock at my bedroom door.

"fuck off Theo!!!" I scream

but still my door opened

"Theo I said fuck o-" but I stop when I see Luke stood in my doorway

"oh um sorry luke come in " I say turning down the music

"I was waiting outside to make sure you got in safely I heard shouting so I came back to make sure you were ok" he says slightly embarrassed as he shut my door and sat on my bed

"nice top" he smiled staring at my top

"thanks I got it when I went to there concert in 2008" I smile wiping the tears that fell earlier when I got home

"Hope are you ok?"  he asks putting a hand on my shoulder

"Yeah I'm fine just my brother Theo"

"oh that's who he is ...I thought he was your boyfriend" he said finding interest in a red stain on my carpet

"Hope what's that?" he asks pointing it out

"umm it's umm just some umm nail polish" I blurt out he can't know what it really is

"oh ok. what you drawing?" he asks picking it up to look at it. my face turns bright red as he sees the little sketch I did of him

" wow your really talented....wait is that ME ?" he asks shocked, I nod slowly blushing more

"are you ok?"

"yes I'm fine just a bit shaky from earlier"

"do you want to come to my friend's house?" he asks

"ok just let me get changed " I say smiling

"ok " he says getting up

"where are you going?" I ask confused

"letting you get changed"

"just sit down but don't fucking look"

I pull on some ripped skinny jeans. I turn around to find luke looking through  my CD's.

"you got some good ones here" he says

"thanks"I say getting a bit nervous, what if his friends don't like me.

"ready to go?" he asks breaking my chain of thought. I nod pulling on my beanie as Luke laughs at me
