Luke's POV:

She... She just called me cute. Woah.

I continued the conversation, "So, you like idiots?"

"Depends, I mean there's no possible way I could like an unattractive idiot, but you are anything but unattractive so.."

"Would I be more attractive if I were in a band?"

"What type of band?"

"The boy type."

"Are you trying to exceed Augustus Water's attractiveness level? Because if so you are succeeding."

"That's what I was going for. So you like boybands?"

She laughed, "Oh yeah, like you wouldn't already know that. Anyways, are you guys any good?Who else is in the band? Do I know them?"

"Yeah, I think you might.", I couldn't help but laugh. This girl had no idea that her best friend's boyfriend and her close friend who was setting us up we're in a boy band with me. God, the guys are really good at hiding their professions.

"Well, go on. Who are they?"

"Okay. Take out your phone."

"Got it." She took her phone out, which had a "I Go To Seek a Great Perhaps" case on it.

"Look up '5 Seconds of Summer', we have a website. Click on the link.

"Looking up... and clicked. Let me just let it load..."

She liked this. I could tell she liked the mystery of this small surprise. I looked at her beautiful green eyes. They popped out like gems-- like emeralds-- and looked perfect with her wavy violet hair. And in mid-admiration--

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT NO WAY OH MY GOD!!!!!" She was laughing so hard, "I'M DYING LUKE YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME DIE BECAUSE OF THIS BAND." She then fell out of the spinning chair at my desk and proceeded to laugh while lying on the blue carpet.

"Its you and Michael and Ashton and... who's that? I recognize him I-- no. No way. That's my roommates ex NO WAY HE WAS AWESOME!!"

"Ah, yes, Calum."

"This is so awesome. Ohmygod I need to see you guys perform." She said while getting back up, but instead of sitting on the spinning chair by the desk, she sat on the edge of my bed next to me.

"We'll be performing in Michael's apartment building parking lot at the party, so you'll see us tomorrow night." I was making this girl so happy and I just wanted to look into her sparkling green eyes and kiss her. We were so close but I couldn't. I was too nervous. She intimidated me.

She looked up at the ceiling and spoke,"I am so excited. This is amazing. I am so glad I came to meet you. Luke, you are the most amazing idiot I have ever met. Thank you for being awesome."

"I try my best Delilah. Especially for beautiful girls with great taste in literature."

She turned towards me and we looked each other in the eyes.

"Hey, I gotta go... but I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay.", I said with a smirk.

"You're really trying aren't you?"

"As hard as I've ever tried to win a girl over."

"You won.", She said at almost a whisper, right before she put her hand to my face to brush her thumb against my cheek, and her lips met mine.

She took her lips off mine, looked me in the eye with an intense stare, and said quietly just as Alaska Young once did, "To be continued."

I watched her get up, turn towards the door, and leave, and all I could think was that I had to be dreaming, but oh... that was not a dream. That was love.
