“You’ll be fine Luke! You’ll have all the girls here swooning over you” you smiled and reassured your best friend of 10 years
Every term your school puts on a performance assembly by the musical kids of the school. And today Luke was the opening show. He shook his head biting his lip as he stared through the curtain out at the crowd.
“The whole school is out there” he signed fidiling with his guitar.
“Look. Don’t worry about the crowd. Just look at me. I’ll be right out in the front row” you smiled as they finally announced him
“Go!” You giggled giving him a little nudge out onto the stage as you walked and sat in the audience.
You took a seat in the red plastic chair and watched as Luke walked out and instantly locked eyes with you. You grinned before giving him a thumbs up for confidence as he started singing. You felt that feeling that you always felt when he sung. Warmth? Happiness? Amazement? Overwhelmed? Maybe love? You didn’t know how to describe it. All you knew was that it was perfect. You watched as he strummed on his acoustic guitar and took his eyes off you for a moment to look out at the crowd. You immediately saw his face drop as Michael entered the room. They both really didn’t likLuke smiled before turning to you.
“Did Michael just complement me..?” He asked
“Yeah.. I think he did. And he’s right. You were amazing! How do you manage it?”
“Well I had my best friend in the front row cheering me on” he smiled
“OK were going to the movies to celebrate. I’ll get the tickets.”
Luke didn’t argue as he put the guitar down and walked with you along the lonely cold streets of Sydney. You walked into the cinemas and got your tickets before sitting down and getting ready to watch the movie. It was some Action movie about a guy having one more day left to live. It was Luke’s pick so you weren’t completely into it. The movie started as Luke fixed his gaze onto the screen. You took your time to take in every feature of his face. His dark blonde hair, his ocean blue eyes, his dimples from when he smiled, his lips. Your thoughts were cut as Luke turned to you.
“If it was your last day on earth what would you do?” He asked
Luke was one to ask random questions like that a lot. He would want to know everything about you. “Umm.. I’m not quite sure. There’s so much” you lied
Your mind screamed for you to tell him the truth. That you would spend it with him. Thad you’d want to be in his arms and for him to know how you feel.
“I think I’d spend it with you..” he confessed
“Thank you. Now thinking about it I would definately spend it with you. But there would be so much things I would havent been able experience”
“Like what?”
“Finishing school, getting a job, having a boy friend, seeing my brother grow up, my 18th, having my first gig, seeing you in play at your first arena, my first kiss…” everything fell silent
“You haven’t been kissed?” He seemed amused
“No.. its sad I know” you looked down at your feet
“Do you want to be kissed?”
“Yes”
It took one word in reply before he slowly leant in close to your face before moving a strand of hair out of your face.
“Your so beautiful” he smiled as he leant in and connected your lips with his.
You felt sparks fly between you and Luke as your lips worked together. You felt his lips lift into a smile causing you to grin.
“Not to bad for a first time” he smiled
“Thank you”e each other at all. Luke begun figiting with his feet and biting his lip again.
“Luke” you said just above the music
His face shot back at yours and kept a heavy gaze. His lips begun to sing the chorus of the song
‘Maybe its not my weekend but its gonna be my year
And I’m so sick of watching while the minuets pass as I go no where
And this is my reaction to everything I fear
Coz I’ve been going crazy I don’t wanna waste another minuet here’
It took some time to realize that you were clapping a long to the rhythm of the song which caused a ripple effect of others clapping along creating a great beat. Luke smiled down at what you had caused before shaking his head in disbelief. Luke finally finished as the crowd erupted and cheered for him. You whistled and clapped as he laughed and went red in the face before walking off stage. You quickly ran to meet him only to see Michael standing there instead. You pushed your way to Luke to get ready to defend him from any mean comments.
“You know’ your not that bad Hemmo” Michael smirked a little before walking away to find Calum.Luke smiled before turning to you.
“Did Michael just complement me..?” He asked
“Yeah.. I think he did. And he’s right. You were amazing! How do you manage it?”
