Luke & Leia ||m.c

Wardrobe Change

"Michael!" Leia calls out in a high pitched voice. It's coming close to mid afternoon. Leia had been up in her room most of the morning talking on her cellphone. She was smiling like crazy so Michael guessed it was Ashton.

"Who is she talkin too?" Luke asked as Leia passed from the living room to the kitchen then back up to her room.

"I dunno some friend maybe." Michael muttered. Luke nodded as he fiddled with his guitar.

"Is Calum coming or what. I want to practice." Luke whined. Calum, Luke, and Michael had sort of begun their own band. All they had were two guitarists and a bassist, not even a drummer but they tried not to think about that. All three of them could sing, or did sing. They weren't sure if they were good. Their mothers said they were and so did Leia and Calum's sister but they felt they were obligated to say that. Leia quickly put down that theory though.

"If you guys were shit I wouldn't hold back. I would tell you to your face how crappy it was." They laughed and continued on, but the boys still had their doubts.

"Simmer down mate I'm right here." Luke snapped his fingers and pointed at Calum.

"That's good. I'm writing it down." Luke said fumbling for a journal he always kept nearby full of possible snippets of conversations for songs.

"What part of that sentence was good?" Michael asked confused.

"Simmer down." Luke replied slowly as he wrote it out. Michael rolled his eyes and Calum shook his head.

"You don't even have a full song in their mate." Michael argued grabbing the book from his hands and flipping through the few pages that were filled.

"I'm working on it." Luke muttered grabbing it back. "I have a song title if you guys are interested." Calum sighed and motioned for him to go ahead and spit it out. "Try Hard." Luke says dramatically wiggling his fingers. Calum and Michael look at each other a bit skeptically.

"Ok. What's it about Luke?" Calum asks sitting down next to Michael on the couch.

"Well it's about trying too hard to impress a girl." Luke says sheepishly. Michael nods sticking out his bottom lip.

"Alright do you have lyrics?" Luke scratches the back of his head.

"Well it's a work in progress I have this, hold on." He sticks up a finger telling them he needs a minute as he flips through the little book. "Umm here. Shes dropping out of school.. Uhhh.. Shes so out of reach.." Michael and Calum listen as he rattles off a couple more meaningless chopped sentences. "Oh this is one of my favorites. She thinks I'm a weirdo now, and She makes me feel like I'm trying too hard again." Luke smiles and waits for a reaction.

"Yeah that.. That sounds.." Calum begins trying to compliment the blond haired boy.

"Brilliant. It's great Luke." Michael encourages when he sees his face fall. Luke smiles again and that's when they hear Leia calling for Michael as she runs down the stairs. "What, what?" Michael asks as Leia rushes toward him and cups his face in her hands.

"Looks like we're going on a date!" Leia exclaimed throwing her arms out. Luke's jaw dropped and Calum looked like he was about to explode.

"Why do you both look surprised? Michael's hot. He can get girl." Leia says flopping down on top of Luke who sitting in the armchair.

"Hey! Watch the guitar. I'm not surprised I just... I mean.." Luke fumbled for words.

"Whose the girl?" Calum asked.

"Oh. Did you guys think it was me. No it's Alyssa. Remember I told you Luke, she has a crush on Michael." Luke could breath again and Calum loosened his tense muscles. Michael stared at the floor unhappily. He wished it was exactly what they both thought.
