Luke threw down the pizza crust into the cardboard box. "so, we should get to know each other."
mallory nodded her head. "okay, you first." she took a bite out of the last slice of pizza and waited patiently for luke to begin.
"okay," luke started, "my name is lucas robert hemmings. i enjoy playing video games, pizza, mythology, and church."
"church?"
"yes, church. have you ever been?" luke glared into mallory's copper eyes. he always loved how mallory's eyes weren't a very dark brown. they were light - light enough that you could make out her pupils perfectly - were they lie and when they dilate - and he liked that.
mallory shook her head. she never expected luke to be so religious.
"this Sunday I shall take you," luke smiled and stood up, running his fingers through his glowing blonde hair.
"my turn." mallory gulped, not knowing exactly what she should say. she set her pizza down and placed her hands in her lap, starting her small speech. "my name is mallory grace hill. i love mythology too - but only sometimes. I had a tragic incident last year but I recovered. that's pretty much it, I'm not that interesting." mallory lightly chuckled.
luke smiled, acting like he didn't know about mallory's tragic incident. but he did.
"I should get going, it's pretty late." luke smiled at mallory.
"okay," she stood up and followed luke to the front door. "see you tomorrow."
"tomorrow," luke repeated. he didn't want to say "see you tomorrow" back because he would be lying and luke didn't like to lie. he slowly spun around on the heels of his feet with his hands stuffed deep into his jean pockets. he made his way out of the house and walked a little until he heard the front door close. luke waited patiently until he knew mallory was asleep. when she was, he closed his eyes and went deep into thought, waiting to arrive at his destination. when he reopened them, he stood right where he wanted to - at the foot of mallory's bed. he watched her sleep and snore slightly. he was in love with her. you may be thinking "he can't be in love with her, it's too soon,"
but you don't know the whole story.
luke jumped suddenly at something moving in his peripheral vision. a shadow slid across the wall, moving at a fast pace. luke immediately hovered over mallory, knowing what was present in the room.
Where there are angels, there are demons.
