the next day, i went to school, no longer in sweats & hoodies but now normal clothes. today i wore an oversized white graphic tee with forest green skinny jeans & doc martins. my hair was tied into a messy bun and i put simple very very natural makeup. for once in a while, i felt happy.

when i got to school, daisy and michael were at the entrance and saw me. i smiled as i walked up to him. "so what happened?!" daisy squealed.

to be broken up just recently with luke, daisy didnt seem bothered at all. like AT ALL. i mean im grateful she is but usually shes a little upset when she gets dumped or she dumps them.

"we just hung out-and maybe kissed a little." i giggled, feeling my cheeks go pink as i reminisced about the day before.

daisy giggled with me, hugging me. i wrapped my arms around her too, grabbing mike to join in.

after our little group hug, we walked to our lockers to get our things before saying bye.

"so since youre with luke now, does that mean you'll goto prom with him?" michael asked.

it was lunch now and we had finished eating our pizza. i shrugged as i drank my water.

"if he wants to. i wont make him if he doesnt wanna go, its not a big deal to me." in all honestly, i didnt care about prom. didnt care about anything with school if we're being honest here. "besides, i dont even know what i would wear."

"when it gets closer we'll go shopping." daisy winked at me. "what about you mike? are you gonna ask crystal?"

michael popped his head up from his phone, probably texting her at this very moment. "what happened?"

daisy rolled her eyes, slapping his arm lightly. "are you gonna ask crystal to prom, i said." mike's cheeks began to heat up once she asked, getting all shy now.

"uh, i dont know...why?" he fiddled with the many bracelets he had on his arms, something he would always do if he was shy.

"because if you do, you gotta do a cute promposal!" i cringed at the word. ive seen those all over twitter, they all seem the same and so cliche.

"im not gonna do it in front of everyone if i do. its none of the schools business anyways." michael shrugged, eating chips.

"thats my boy." i smiled and he chuckled, high five-ing me.

after school, i walked out, seeing luke stand in his usual spot with a smile on his face. he was wearing a navy blue tshirt with black and white stripped pants and those boots he almost always wore.

i ran to him, wrapping my arms around his torso as he squeezed my body back. "you look hot." i said softly, resting my chin on his chest to look at him.

"thanks, i try." a cocky smirk crept over his face, making me roll my eyes and pull away.
"i missed you so i ubered here to to see you."

"why did you uber? you have a car luke." i laughed, putting a piece of hair behind my ear.

"because i know you gotta pick your brother and sister up, i would have leave my car here." he shrugged. it made my heart swell that he wanted to go with me to pick up matty and grey.

"oh well, lets go then." i smiled, grabbing his hand as we walked to my car. the two of us got in and right as i started the car, luke's hand slid over and held my thigh.

"you look very cute by the way." he complimented, his cheeks slightly rosy. WHY IS HE BEING SO CUTE RIGHT NOW

"thank you." i said, my teeth sinking into my bottom lip. i pushed the gas petal and began driving us to the school.

"so, uh, you obviously moved here if you have an accent. why?" i asked. this was a question i always had. why a boy like him would be living in santa barbara.

"well, my mum, as you know, works with yours in the photography area at whatever that magazine place is called. before, she use to work at the sydney headquarters but they promoted her. so we got our things and moved out here when i was like, nine. my two brothers dont like it here tho, so once they could, they moved back home." as luke spoke, he would rub circles on the fabric of my jeans.

"what about you? do you want to move back?" i looked at him at the red light.

"not really. i visit them every so often, but i dont feel the urge to go back. i prefer here." he gave me a small smile. i nodded, giving him one back before turning back to the road.

"id be sad if you moved back there," my voice came off very softly. i heard luke giggle a bit before feeling his lips press against my cheek.

"i would be sad too, love."

seconds after, we pulled up the school. once i parked and shut the engine, i turned and looked at him.

"did you wanna come with me or stay in the car? and are we going back to my place?" i asked.

"lets go eat at like mcdonalds or something. ill pay." luke squeezed my thigh gently before pulling his hand away.

"you dont have to pay. i can. you bought me food last time." i pouted, popping my bottom lip out. he grabbed me by the chin, pulling me close to his face.

"im paying princess, im not taking no for an answer." luke kissed me before letting go of my chin and getting out of the car. i quickly got out too, trying to collect myself after what happened.

"you're turned on, arent you?" he laughed as we crossed the street.

"no, why would you think that?" i lightly scoffed. but he was totally right.

"because, whenever i throw you off, you seem to become very quiet afterwards." my cheeks were bright red, i could feel it. it was as if i was an open book to him.

"whaaat? nah." i shook my head. luke simply sent a smirk my way and continued to walk alongside me to grey's classroom.

once she saw me, she ran to me. i kneeled down and gave her a big hug as always. "hiii leia. oh its him! did you bring me ice cream?" she gasped once she saw luke.

"aw darn it. i forgot to! can i make it up to you by buying you some chicken nuggets?" luke kneeled down to her so she was at her height, shooting her his charming smile.

"i love chicken nuggets." she giggled. "whats your name?"

"im luke. what about you?" he said, holding out his hand for her.

"im grey. like the color." she said, her little hand as it is looked even smaller next to his. he delicately shook it before pulling his hand away.

"thats a cool name. mine is boring." luke frowned.

"i dont think its boring!" she said. luke looked up at me as i giggled at the two of them chatting.

"c'mon guys. we need to get matty." i said. as we walked, luke talked to grey the whole way, talking about names.

matty came out, looking his normal self. "is he your boyfriend now?" was the first thing he asked.

"what? no." i shook my head quickly. luke did too.

"stop lying. im eight, im not dumb." he pouted as we walked to the car.

"he isnt my boyfriend tho!" i laughed.

"we're dating." luke popped in. dating. i bit down on my lip at the way it rolled of his lips. i wanted to smile so bad right now.

"isnt that the same?" he asked.

"no its not matty." i sighed, ruffling his hair.
