Whatever We Are

Chapter 1

"Come here Amanda!" My bestfriend Sugar calls me over to the bench where she was sitting outside in the school's courtyard with all of our other friends.

Her name is actually Makenzi, but our entire group of friends call her Sugar.

I stroll over to Sugar, Maria, Calum, Luke, Ashton and Iggy. I plop myself down between Sugar and Luke, staring around the group, realizing something was missing here. Just then I remember that Michael isn't here.

"Where's Michael?" I ask quizzically.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Calum says teasingly and I lean over to punch him in the arm.

Okay so everybody in the group knows I like Michael, except Michael. But that doesn't even matter because Michael would NEVER go out with me. I'm not his type, and he's not mine. Michael has at least five tattoos, he smokes, never does his homework or schoolwork, shows up late to EVERYTHING, he cannot stay with a girl for more than one night, and he's only 16 years old. I on the other hand am a very well rounded student (although I do slack off time to time), never show up late, and I've only been in two real relationships, although I'd never be the type to just hook up with someone and never speak to them again. So basically Michael and I are complete opposites which is why I choose to push away my feelings for him, knowing he would never feel the same way about me.

"Amanda..." Luke calls my name then trails off.

"Yeah?"

He smiles cutely at me then shakes his head.

"Nevermind, forget it."

As I watch him turn his face away from me I start to think about everything. How Luke and I used to have a thing going months ago. We flirted a lot, kissed once or twice, and everybody in the group noticed 'the way he looked at me', but we never went anywhere with it. Eventually my feelings faded, and now I just blame it on my hormones. Now we're the closest boy to girl friends out of the group.

"Here comes Michael... and he's with Ashley." Ashton says, pointing over at Michael and Ashley about twenty feet away, walking towards us.

I fake gag at the mention of Ashley's name, and everyone laughs. She smirks annoyingly as she approaches us with Michael and I noticed his arm around her, resting on her hip. I don't know why that hurt so much, but it also pissed me off. I quickly peer over at Michael and Ashley who were almost here, and widen my eyes at Luke. I suddenly had a great idea.

I grab Luke by the back of his neck, shut my eyes, and pull his mouth into mine for a long kiss. He seems stunned at first, but quickly kisses back, moving his lips in sync with mine. Of course there was no feelings or connections in the kiss. I was doing it to make Michael jealous after all. We continued to kiss for another minute, then pulled away breathlessly. I open my eyes and turn to face Michael who was watching in shock. Ashley gave me a dirty look while Michael licked his lips, eyeing me up and down now. Well I guess I did catch his attention. Sometimes I just wish I wasn't completely invisible to Michael. But now, I may not be so invisible.

A/N I know like nobody even reads the authors notes but who gives a damn. Hey so hopefully I actually continue this story I know the first chapter is boring as hell but they always are. I think I'm just gonna put a song with every chapter and some won't even relate to the story at all and those will most likely be the Pearl Jam and Nirvana and such songs. Just because I love them I'll add random shit aye. Okay I'm using SWS for this chapter bye.
