My date with Luke was perfect. He was so nice. I don't understand why anyone would hate him. We went to dinner and a movie. A typical date but still sweet. He is so funny and does indeed play soccer. He's SUPER popular so he wanted to keep our relationship quiet for a while so I didn't get harassed. "I had a really great time tonight." he said walking me to my door."Me too." I smiled. "So Maddy, I want to do this again sometime but first I need to ask you a question. Will you be my girlfriend?" I thought about this for just a split second. "Of course." I answered grinning. Luke looked very relieved and pulled me into a hug. "Are you skipping tomorrow?" he asked. Most seniors chose a day to skip school and found something better to do. This year we were going to an amusement park. "Yeah. Are you?" I asked. He gave me a sad smile. "No I have a bunch of extra credit work I need to do." he said. "Oh okay. Well maybe I can see you after school. If not I'll see you on Friday." he nodded and walked to his car. I opened the front door only to be greeted by my mom. "Is he cute? How old is he? What's his name?" Wow my mother could talk. "Mom chill. He's 17, plays soccer, pretty damn cute, his name is Luke." she laughed "He sounds nice. And don't curse in front of your mom you rude bastard."

"Wonder where I get it from." I mumbled. "What was that?" she asked already on her laptop again. "Nothing mommy I love you." I said sounding as innocent as possible. The second I got into my room I called Daizha. "How did it go?"

"Well hello to you too."

"Whatever. How was your date?"

"He was super sweet and funny and amazing and he asked me to be his girlfriend."

"No way! What did you say?!" she was practically shouting in my ear. I paused for dramatic affect. "Yes." I said holding back a smile as Daizha squealed into the phone. "Alright I'm going to bed but I'll pick you up for skip day tomorrow. Cal, Mikey, Ash, and Milka are coming." she said before hanging up. I fell asleep very quickly both excited and anxious for tomorrow.

"Mikey maybe if you kiss Sleeping Beauty, she'll wake up"

"Oh fuck off Cal."

"Let me wake her up."

"No I'll do it."

The bickering went on for several minutes while I pretended to be asleep. "WAKE THE FUCK UP BITCH" I heard Ashton scream in my ear. "Are you trying to make me fucking deaf?! Dick head. I thought I locked my windows last night." He smiled mischievously. "Your mom says hi." I sat up and punched him. "You can't just walk into my house." Daizha held up the house key I gave her awhile back. "Yes we can." Milka and Mikey were silent. I didn't know Milka all too well but she seemed to really like Ashton. He probably liked her to but he would be that last one to know about it. "Screw you guys. Get out so I can change." They all left. Just as Michael was about to leave, he ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Maddy I'm so sorry for being a jerk. You can date whoever you want." I smiled at his apology. "It's okay. You're still an asshole though." I said smiling. "Fuck you." he laughed and walked out of the room. I'm glad our friendship was mildly repaired. Today was not a good day for us to ignore eachother. I put on his Jack Daniel's shirt along with a pair of shorts and some converse. "Alright let's go." I said stepping out of my room. Milka had to sit on Ashtons lap. Michael sat between me and Ash/Milka. Calum drove and Daizha rode shotgun. After three hours of sitting in a cramped car, we arrived. "Michael Gordon Clifford get the hell off me." I said pushing his head off my lap. "Love you too." He laughed and sat up. We entered the amusement park and argued over what to do first. "Let's do the rollercoasters!" Mikey suggested but no one else was having it. "Okay guys why don't we all split up and do our own thing for a little bit and we'll meet up for lunch?" Calum said. Everyone agreed. Mikey and I were the first to wander off in search of the biggest rollercoaster. "Let's go on the one that turns upside down!" Mikey sounded like a kid on Christmas and his eyes seemed to light up. "Yes your majesty." I said sarcastically. He grabbed my hand and practically dragged me to the ride. We showed the worker our wristband and got strapped in. I noticed something. Michael didn't let go of my hand. The ride was a big circle on its side. We went around many times and everytime we went upside down Mikey squeezed my hand. Either my crush on him is gone or I'm just pushing it away. It's probably gone. "Holy shit Maddy that ride was amazing!!" He still held my hand. "It was cool I'm just really dizzy." I said half forcing a smile. I walked a few steps to the bench and almost fell. "Mikey can we just sit for a minute? I'm too dizzy to walk." He looked concerned. "We have to meet the group for lunch but I have a solution. Get on my back." He helped me stand on the bench so I could get on his back. "Mikey are you sure?" I asked nervously. "Of course I am. Hurry up." I did as he said and climbed on his back. He's surprisingly strong. "Fuck! We're late. They're blowing up my phone. I have to run so hold on back there." Michael said. Then he started running. He ran pretty fast. Probably from playing soccer. I could see people staring at us but I didn't care. "Um hi?" Calum said looking amused. "Oh hey. She got dizzy." Mikey explained. I hopped of his back and sat at our table. "Where's Ash and Milka?" I asked Daizha. "Probably making out somewhere." She said. "Nice." We ordered our food and waited forever. "Oh my god I'm starving." Ashton finally arrived picking the chips off my plate. "Hey Maddy?" I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Milka. "I think that's Luke over there." I looked to where she was pointing. It was Luke alright. But he was making out with another girl.
