Everyone was sleeping, except Justin. He was watching TV so I sat next to him. "Hey,"
"Hey" He said back.
"So, how was your date with that girl?"
"Angela?"
"Yeah whatever"
"Good, it was good."
I got bored and went to my favourite room of the house, the Study. It was filled with my favourite books, and I would often come here, even to just think things through. I sat down with my book, on one of the chairs, and peered through the window.
That was his room. And he was there. Right before my eyes, Luke was standing in the middle of his room (which was clean!) topless! That was a sight to see now, and I was right about the six pack...
Anyway the thing is he saw me.
But he wasn't mad or anything... he smiled, it took him a moment to realise that he was standing there topless. The he turned into a scarlet red colour and quickly pulled on a shirt. I laughed, covering my mouth and shaking my head.
He took out his own book and started to read it, on his bed. I glanced out the window every now and then and he did as well, because we caught each other doing it at the same time. But soon he fell asleep. And I walked to my room. I had to text Emily about everything; she would die if I didn't tell her.
I took out my phone from my pocket and sent Emily a text message about everything.
After a few minutes I saw her reply:
Omigod!! That is sooo romantic!! You guys are totally meant for each other! Isn't that right?! Omg omg omg!!! I'm so sure he is the one!
I rolled my eyes at her text but couldn't help smiling, and then I sent her back:
I don't think so Em, calm down, I don't think we're more than just friends in this case, hey I g2g bye! 'Night!
I changed into my Pyjama's and drifted to sleep.
I woke up after a good eight hours of sleep, and jumped into the shower. I got ready for school, and went downstairs. Justin was munching his cereal. I swallowed a glass of O.J and gobbled down some toast. Then we drove to school in my car, and again we didn't speak much:
Me: "So how's the swim team going?"
Him: "It's fine."
Me: "Oh okay."
Him: "Right."
Me: "Why don't you speak much Justin? Everything OK?"
Him: "I'm a man with few words."
Me: "Oh yeah? I think a few is exaggerating."
And that's pretty much it. I mean he used to be better like two months ago. Whatever.
So we got to school, and he walked away with all his friends who were waiting for him, and I walked over to my locker. I grabbed my books and hurried away, but I ran into somebody, and my books and I fell down. I reached over to grab them, and he bent down.
"Hey, oh sorry," Michael Apologised.
"Oh, its fine Michael" I reassured.
"No, no it's not, are you hurt?" He wanted to know.
"I'm okay,"
"Let me make it up to you"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'll take you out Friday night." He said.
Oh no...
"I... have plans, sorry" I lied.
"That can wait, I'll be there at 7 o'clock sharp" He said and smiled. Then he left.
I couldn't not go, that would just be mean, and he just wants to take out a friend, so what?
Anyway, soon it was lunch time. I walked to the cafeteria with Emily and Dan, and we sat at our table. I saw Luke come along, and I invited him over with us. He sat down beside me.
"Hi" I greeted
"Hey" he said smiling "I heard you're going out with Michael now."
Wow, things go around this school faster than you can say Cotton Candy. Oh whatever.
"Oh, um yeah, he's taking me out on Friday. But we're not going out." I said quickly.
He just smiled and nodded, and I rolled my eyes.
The bell rung, after a while for the last two classes. I went to the class and sat next to Emily. She looked curious. I sighed, "What is it now Em?"
She raised her eyebrow, "You're going out with Michael Peters?" She asked shocked.
Word really travels fast in this school I thought, "He's just taking me out Friday night, that's all." I explained.
"You told me that you didn't like him. You said he wasn't the one!"
"Emily! He's not The One, okay? He just made me fall and he's making up for that, that's all!"
"Um, right, and pigs can fly." She said sarcastically, "Why did you agree to go then?"
"Well, I told him I had plans but he wouldn't take no as an answer, so I'll just have to go" I said, and just before she could say anything else, the teacher came in.
