LUKE'S POV
I convinced her to stay with me for a couple more days!

I like her too much to let her drive back.

We got ready for the day and I took her on a hike to the Hollywood sign.

I held her hand as we climbed up the steep rocks.

She stared at it in amazement.

God she's cute.

We found a big enough rock and sat down on it.

I put my arm around her and she leaned her head on my shoulder.

"I don't ever want to leave." She whispered.

"Then don't. Stay with me forever." I said.

"When the end of August comes I have to go back. My parents don't know I model. I lied and told them I got into Ohio State." She said with watery eyes.

I wrapped my arms around her.

"Wouldn't they have found the acceptance letter?" I asked.

"I lied about that too. I told them Ohio State does everything by email now." She said.

"I'm not the guy to encourage lying, but do you think you can lie to them one more time?" I asked.

"How?" She asked.

"Tell them you're transferring to UCLA. And that they also do everything by email." I said.

"I guess I could try." She said.

I watched as she texted in her family group chat.

Ryder: I got accepted into UCLA. I'm transferring from Ohio State. (They also do everything by email)

Mom: Good job. When you come home you should help Ethan look at colleges

Dad: Congratulations


Ethan: Hope this is the year I turn your room into an arcade

"They could care less." I said.

"I know. I can't wait to be out here with you everyday." She said.
