Getting to know her

Luke's P.O.V.

The name's Luke. I'm just a regular teenager. I go to school like a regular person. I'm in my 2nd last year. If I wanted I could drop out but ehh. I'm just sitting here at home doing nothing. I get up and dressed up to go out. I head down town. I just walk around till I set eyes on the most beautiful girl ever. She goes to my school. Her name's Dionne. She's dressed down. She's like that though. Me? I'll get dressed up to go out but she'll get dressed down. I follow her around to see where she goes. She goes into Starbucks and orders a coffee then she goes into Vans and buys a grey pair. After that she goes into Nando's and meets up with her best friend Lucy and her sister Sophie. At that I head home. I go to school the next day. I sit in class a few tables from Dionne. She's with Lucy again. I listen in to their conversation. 'I've decide to drop out of school, I mean it's not like I need the grades.' Dionne says. 'Nah you don't.' Lucy says. 'You should too, it'll be cool.'Dionne says. 'Alright.'Lucy says. Hmm so she thinks it's cool when people drop out of school? Well I guess I'm dropping out of school then. Lucy turns to talk to someone else. 'Hey.' I say to Dionne, trying hard to sound cool. 'Hi.' She says. 'I heard you're dropping out of school.'I say. 'Yeah, it's not like I need the grades, so yeah.'She says. God she's hot and those colours in her hair...they never fade. 'Cool, I'm dropping out too.'I say. 'Oh...How old are you?'She asks. 'I'm 20.' I say, lying. 'Oh...I'm 17.... hey, I see your jeans are ripped, that's cool.' She says. 'Thanks, I'm getting my lip pierced today too.' I say. 'Cool!'She says, then turns back to Lucy. Wow I just held a nice conversation with her. God....she's making me feel like I'm trying too hard. Like I told Dionne, after school I went and got my lip pierced. Was kinda sore but looks awesome. Lets hope Dionne likes it. A few weeks later,I applied for college and got in so I'm starting today. I go to my first class and sit beside a guy with black hair. 'Hey.'He says. 'Hey.'I say. 'I'm Calum.'He says. 'Luke.' I say. A guy sits on the opposite side from me. 'Hey.' I say. 'Hey.'He says. 'I'm Luke and that's Calum.' I say, pointing at him. 'Michael.'He says. We talk all day and have a right laugh. Looks like I've got some awesome friends.
