Luke's POV
"Luke sweetie is that you?" mum's voice calls out as I go through the front door. I chuck my stuff on the ground and head into the kitchen
"Yeah it's me" I wave at her and walk over to sit down on the sofa. The house is open plan with the stairs over to the left, kitchen to the right of the door and lounge area to the left.
"So where'd you go? your text said you were going to a friends, was it someone new? I didn't know you'd make friends that quickly" she bombards me with questions. didn't know I'd make friends that quickly? gee thanks mum
"Yeah it was someone new" I shrug nonchalantly, can we please drop the subject? I don't want to talk about Rory cause I swear i'll start blushing.
Mum gives me one of those parent look that says 'thats not a good enough answer and you know it'. I roll my eyes and take out my phone, there's a text from Rory.
From Rory:
hi Luke, do you wanna go out with me Mikey and Cassie tomorrow? x
I smile at my phone, of corse I want to go out with those guys. Any excuse I can get to see Rory, wait...did I just say that? oh god.I don't know what it is about her but after spending all afternoon with her I just don't want for her not be around...you know?
"Hey mum did you mind if I go out with friends tomorrow night?" I give her my best puppy dog eyes. I wouldn't normally ask to go out places but mums worried seeing as we're new to the neighbourhood so I have to ask to go basically anywhere, sucks right?
"Out? where and with who?"
"I don't know where, and with Cassie and a few if her friends..."
"You don't know where?"
"Ummm no" I try to make it sound as casual as possible that I don't actually have a clue what any of the plans are. she sighs loudly
"Fine, your 17 years old. you can look after yourself, just be careful ok?" she caves in. I smile like a goon back at her and hug her
"Thanks mum, of corse I'll be careful. see ya later"
"Oh Luke, I'm going out in a little bit and Dads working late so your gonna have the house to yourself for the night. don't forget to make yourself dinner"
"Oh ok" I wave and run of upstairs to my room.
To Rory:
Sure! sounds fun, where do you have in mind? xx
I text Rory back on the way into my room.
My room's walls are all dark blue, I got to paint them the day we moved in cause they were a disgusting orange colour. most of my stuff is still in boxes, the only thing I have out is my bed which is pushed up against the wall that the doors on. there's also a window that looks down onto the street, facing Rory's house.
I search through my books and find my speakers. I plug my phone in and put them on the shelf to he side of the room. I swipe the screen and start playing my playlist, I Miss You by Blink 182 blasts out into the room
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
we can live like jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
I belt out the lyrics and start unpacking boxes. My phone pings signalling I got a text
From Rory:
We we're just gunna go bowling and get some pizza, that ok? xx
To Rory:
Yup. See you then :-) xx
