The wasted hour between 4-5 of me debating what to text Ellie, was torturous. After way too much thought I settled on, "Hey it's Luke😝"

As soon as I hit send I felt so gay. What message is that emoji supposed to send what the fuck am I doing. I bet she likes me as a friend and just wants to hang out or she feels bad for me. Maybe texting her is a bad idea.

My hands raked through my blonde hair in frustration, tugging at the roots. "Fuck meeeee," I quietly sighed defeatedly pacing my room.

"Lukas I don't know who the hell you're talking to but I really don't like to hear those words coming out of your mouth," my mum called walking past my door.

"LIZ PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GOD DAMN PRIVACY TO TALK TO MYSELF," I could tell she wasn't gonna like that but I closed my door to seal out any noise she might make.

Blink rang through my headphones putting me in a sad self pity puddle of punk rockness. That's something Michael would say.

"16 just held such better days

Back when I still felt alive I couldn't wait to get outside the..."

I jolted back to reality as a sound signaling i'd received a message pierced my eardrums. Maybe I shouldn't listen to my music so loud... Nah why would I do that? I quickly fumbled with the sleek iPhone in my palm before unlocking it and letting out a thankful breath. She responded. And practically emoji flirted🙏

"THANK YOU GOD THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME IN MY TIME OF NEED!" I called to whoever would listen.

"Lukas I swear to god if you don't stop talking to yourself I'm sending you to therapy."

"Mum leave me allllooooonnnnnee" I groaned dramatically hoping she could hear through the door.

What should I say to Ellie.

"I think you're pretty cool and your music and such uh wanna makeout?" no.

"Well I've been watching you during class and you're really cute and underrated and I'd like to hang out with you some time?"

Stalker much?

I settled on a lame "Sooooo😁" just to see where she wanted to take the conversation. I'm actually awful at this.

ELLIES POV

"I JUST WANT TO LEAP ON TOP OF HIM AND KISS HIM SO HARD HIS LIPS FALL OFF."

"Ellie is he really that cute..." One of my old best friends Camilla questioned me through the phone.

"Yeah like I wanna fuck your brains out cute."

"Ellie that's kind of serious.. Is he cuter than Matt?" (the boy I dated in year 6 who was gorgeous and still is).

"I think Luke is way cuter and hasn't done many drugs. Has Matt stopped smoking crack or.." I giggled remembering our inside joke about how wound up he always was.

"Not so sure he went to a private highschool so I haven't seen him since you have. I have homework I gotta do but we miss you El."

I hung up smiling at the thought of my old friends and begun laying out my notes and worksheets. Before even thinking about starting I plugged my phone into a speaker and listened to a quiet 8tracks playlist called "I like being alone too much"

As I went to lock my phone I noticed a new number had texted me... Luke. Almost thirty minutes had passed and I was so oblivious while on the phone with C, I'd forgotten to answer. I quickly responded with "Hiii👀💜"

Why does the eye emoji remind me of luke?
