“So what’s up for tonight?” I asked as we walked in the school’s direction. My former school looked exactly the same.
“Tonight is gonna be a little bit weird.” He said as we walked into the building. We walked to the backyard and I remembered how I sat there the first day of school, under a tree and started drawing until Calum asked me if I wanted to join them for lunch.
“Okay… It’s lesson night. I have to teach you something, you have to teach me something.” He said walking up to a huge bucket full of water and some other coloured bottles. “I start. I’m gonna teach you how to make the coolest t-shirts ever.”
“Alright, I don’t think you have to make it cool or anything.” I said as I approached a little bit.
“They are cool because I make them, duh.” He said shaking his head.
“Sure…” He handed me a white t-shirt and scissors.
“Cut it. Like a tank top, then we can start.” He explained. I nodded and cut the t-shirt carefully. I didn’t want to mess it up. “Okay, so I’m gonna put the liquid in the water bucket.”
“Are we going to dye the t-shirts?” I asked and received a nod as an answer. “I’ve always wanted to learn how to do it.”
“When I was 5 my mom taught me how to do it, and every summer we do it once, and we give the t-shirts away.” He explained mixing the first liquid. Afterwards adding some more dying liquids without mixing them. “You can tight a knot with the t-shirt or put it plainly.” I decided to make a knot and put it in the water. He handed me a stick and I grabbed it with both hands. He put his hands on mine, and helped me to move the shirt in the water. Everything seemed so colourful. I looked at Luke, he was again so focused on the water, but his eyes turned to meet mine, and it was then when I realised we were really close, and he was hugging me from the back. His breath was mixing with mine, and everything seemed unreal. “I like your eyes, -----------.”
“Why?” I asked as I looked deeper into his. His smile was showing and I wished again to have my lips pressed against his.
“Because they look true. Honest. I don’t know. They make me trust you.” He said shrugging and left my hands free. “Come on. Take the t-shirt.” He said handing me some gloves. I nodded and took it out, trying not to wet the grass and ran out to hang up the t-shirt. “Unmake the knot and hang it.” I did as he said and smiled really big when I saw the result. Colours were light in the centre, but they turned darker and darker as they moved away from the centre. “Do you like it?”
“Yes, it is really cool.” I said as I looked at it from further away.
“Okay, now it is your turn.”
“Okay, so… I can teach you how to play the piano.” I said and started walking back into the building. That first day I heard how Michael, Luke and Calum sang and played their instruments, and today, following the same path, I got to the music class.
“I see you remember pretty well where everything is.” Luke said turning on the lights.
“Well, yes. I was here for a year.” I shrugged and walked up to the piano. “Sit here with me.” I said and he sat right next to me.

After some teaching he already managed how to play something. I smiled to myself when I saw him playing a little bit on his own. He was really cute when he focused on something. He looked like a small, confused child. (http://instagram.com/p/lsZuIvKSxl/ )
“Good Lucas! Your turn now.” I smiled wide and he nodded.
“Okay, so I’m gonna teach you how to play basketball.” He said as we walked to the gym. I smiled at his statement. I knew he had no idea of how to play basketball. At least he didn’t when I left. I guessed he wouldn’t be much better then. I probably played better than he did. He pushed the gym’s door open and grabbed the basketball as he approached the basket and threw the ball. I couldn’t have laughed harder when he failed and the ball rebounded hitting his head. I couldn’t even breathe. I was laughing too hard. I finally saw Luke sitting down on the floor touching his head.
