You and I || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 10.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and feel like the day ahead of you is going to be the best day in your life?

That's how I felt when I woke up on Tuesday morning.

I literally needed only ten minutes to get ready for school. I was wearing a nice combination. It consisted of a black skirt which flew to my mid thigh and a pink tank top, which was stuffed into it. Over that, I put on my black vest,leaving it unbuttoned and slipped on some black flats with a bow on top. The left side of my hair was braided and I had a minimal amount of makeup on my face.

"Morning princess! :) <3"

The message was from Luke and it immediately brought out a huge grin on my face.

I instantly replied.

         "Hey Lukey!  :D"

"Ready for the day ahead of us? x"

      "More than ready actually ;-)"

"Glad to hear that babe. :-] I'll be there in a bit, k? xxx"

        "Sure, see ya! :)"

My stomach churned when he called me  'babe'. I don't know, I'm not usually into those pet names but when he wrote it, I felt awesome.

I decided to call Michael and tell him we're not walking to school together.

''Hey Chloe. '' he chirped into the receiver.

''Hi Mike, uh, I called to tell you that I can't really walk with you to school this morning. ''

''Why, what happened? You haven't been to school yesterday, are you sick?'' he started bombarding me with questions.

I chuckled. ''No, I'm not sick, I'll just explain everything to you later on Biology, okay?''

''Fine, see you later then.''

''Later Mikey.''

I went to kitchen to grab an apple and then heard the doorbell ring. I quickly took my backpack and paced towards the front door.

''Why, don't you look stunning. '' was the first thing Luke said when I opened the door.

I giggled. ''Good morning to you too, Hemmings. ''

Luke shrugged and then leaned closer to plant a lingering kiss on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into me. His immediately went to my waist and when our lips separated, we kind of just stood in front of each other, just staring into each other's eyes.

''Shall we?'' he whispered, myself feeling his minty breath fan my cheeks. I nodded slowly and then he took my hand in his gently as we walked towards his car.

Ride to school was filled with music playing and the two of us singing loudly, attracting a lot of attention from the other drivers.

But who in the world cares?

When the car finally stopped in front of the school's property, Luke went out first and opened the door for me, making me blush at his cuteness.

I went on my tip-toes to plant a kiss on his lips and when I moved, he had a goofy smile plastered all upon his face.

''Let's go.'' his hand found its way into mine again and like that, we walked through the hall, causing people to stare in our way and whisper something.

I looked up at Luke, who didn't seem to notice anything.

''Why are they staring?'' I asked quietly, so only he could hear me.
