We avoided one another for three days. The first day I could bare it. Barley, but I did. On the second day I cried. I have no idea why. It could be because I was helpless and for a second I thought he understood. It also could have been for the fact that I ran out of my meds so I was without them for a couple days. And the last reason why is because maybe I was beginning to develop feelings for Luke.
On the third day, I didn't come out of my room hardly at all.
"Luke..." I said poking him. He did nothing. "Luke, please..." Nothing! Luke! Please!" I begged.
He snapped his head around and snapped at me, "what?"
"Nothing....never mind..." I moved backwards, scared he would bust too. I knew he had a temper sometimes but only when he was really annoyed or upset. Had I hurt his feelings? Should I apologize?
No. I did nothing wrong. He was being rude and making fun of my bi polar. I hated when people did that, it hasn't happened in a while but still.
As I began to get to work on a worksheet he said something. At first I didn't hear him. But the second time, I heard him. I only heard him but still.
"Im sorry Shel."
I smiled and said, "I like that."
"What? That I said I was sorry?"
"Yes and no."
"What...what do you um mean?" Luke asks starting to look panicked.
"I like that you apologized."
"Oh?"
"But I also like when you call me Shel." I whispered.
"What?"
"Keep calling me Shel, please."
"Why?" He asked.
"I...I like it." My lips quivered as I said it. I felt my cheeks go red.
"Don't be embarrassed Shel." He whispered behind my ear. I grinned ear to ear.
"Hang out at my place latter on?" I ask.
"Yeah. Sure thing Shel."
****
"What the hell Lucas!" I said laughing as he tries to juggle a few balls outside in my backyard. Dropping the balls, he stared at me, this cold, hard stare.
"Don't call me Lucas!" He yelled, trying to suppress the growing smile.
"But I let you call me Shel!" I groaned.
"Im Luke sky walker! Jedi Knight!" Luke shouts skipping around the back yard.
"Shut up dummy!" I yelled
"NOOO!"
"Finneee!" I groan "....Lucas..."
"I thought I told you not to call me that Shelby!!"
"Well I don't listen to others." I say as we chance each other around the yard. We finally collapse on the grass, looking up at the speckled sky.
"Lets play 20 questions." I suggest, after catching my breath.
"Okay you first."
"Middle name?" I ask
"Robert." He responds
"Lucas Roberta Hemmings?" I say bursting out laughing.
"No silly goose, Luke Robert Hemmings."
"Close enough." I mutter
Laughing, Luke responds, "Whatever. Okay, my turn, who do you like???" Luke says getting in all close.
"I don't know." I smile.
"Well you, come to me when you find out." Luke wiggles his eyebrows and me.
"Why?" I ask oddly.
"So I can hook you guys up or whatever."
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Maybe."
Maybe, Maybe will be our okay, like okay was there always

The next day after school Luke and I are sitting in the park when a few kids walk by yelling Luke's name.
"Who da bae?" The guy with blondish/pink hair asks Luke.
"Da bae is Shelby."
"She taken?"
"Nope. But she will be, Sorry dude."
"So' kay."
After they walk away Luke wishers to me, "thats Michael. The Ashton and Cam."
When we get back to my house Luke and I can't help our selfs, we spray one another with the hose.
Then Luke gets down on his knee and asks, "Can I pick you up for movies for me and my friends tomorrow....?."
"Yes." I say, smiling, "Yes, Lucas
****
"Hey mom, Im going over to Luke's with some of his friends for a bit; it that ok?" I ask as I take my curling wand and wrap a tiny strand of hair around it.
"Yeah sure. Be home by midnight or text me if you stay the night."
"Okay!"
"And don't forget to use protection." My mom smiled, while she past the bathroom door.
"Mom, were not like that...yet."
"Ahh so you like him maybe?" Mom asks.
I spray some hair spray on my head, hoping these beach waves I made with the wand would stay. "Um I don't know for sure. Besides I don't wanna ruin things like I did last time." I replied adding mascara and eyeliner to my eyes.
"Shelby, they ruined it last time, not you. And besides I think this ones okay."
"Alright." I say pulling on my converse. I grab my purse and give a quick goodbye to my mom.
"Okay so where do I go?" I ask into my cell. Luke's voice comes through, giving me directions.
"Lucas, this is target!" I complain pulling into a parking space. "Gosh just text me what you want goof ball."
A few seconds latter I get a text message from Luke.
It lists many food items. At the bottom it says: You
A/N
