That Band Boy

Chapter 1

   "Marie, wake up! Why do I have to do this every morning?" I yelled at my best friend, Marie. I always have to wake up and get ready early so I can get to her house, wake her up and help her get ready. (I know that sounds like such a mother-daughter thing, but oh well!)

     My name's Ella Johnson. I'm in high school, and Marie is my only and best friend. I would consider myself a smart girl, but I'm not the kind of girl who only studies and never goes out. A lot of boys tend to hit on me, but I just ignore them, mainly because boys are ew except for him. My crush, Luke Hemmings, one of the members of the band 5sos. Marie also has a crush on his best friend, Ashton, but we know we don't stand a chance with them.

      "Elle? Elle! Snap out of it!" Marie said as she yanked me out of the room and into my car. I didn't realize I was daydreaming. "Ohmygod, Marie, it's Luke and Ashton! Keep your cool and pretend you don't notice them!" I warned her as we drove past them. As always, they don't notice us.

   When we got to school, we parted our separate ways and I walked into History class. As I sat down, my history partner, Mindy, handed me an envelope. "I'm having a party on Saturday, and would love if you could come! And don't worry, I'm inviting Marie too. I hope you can come! Luke and Ashton will be there!" She said with a grin as she walked away to hand out more invitations.

       I was invited to the same party as Luke Hemmings? I didn't even think I was in the same league as him! I was so excited to to tell Marie at lunch.

       "Marie! We're going to a party on Saturday, and Ashton will be there!" I yelled across the table at lunch. Thank God we didn't have lunch the same period as them! "Ahh, we need to be there!" Marie exclaimed, high-fiving me. I was so excited!

      After a horrible week of school, it was finally Saturday. Marie came over at 3:00, so we had 4 hours to get ready, since it started at 7:00. Marie curled my hair and I straightened hers. We did our make up and slipped into our dresses. I took one last look in the mirror, then put my shoes on and got in my car with Marie.

      When we got to Mindy's house, I was amazed at how big it was. When I walked inside, I immediately saw Luke. He was wearing a muscle tee and black skinny jeans. Ahh, he looks so hot! I thought to myself. I walked over to the bar to get a drink (of Sprite, of course) and as I was walking back to see Marie, I saw her. With Ashton. Talking. What?!? I thought as I walked away, still staring at them. And just to my surprise, I ran into Luke. Luke Hemmings. "Hey," he said, grinning at me. "I'm Luke, as you probably know." OHMYGOD, he talked to me! I screamed in my head. "I'm Ella." I said, trying to hold in my screams. "That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He said, winking. "Do you want a drink?" I nodded and said, "Sprite please!" He nodded and walked away. The Luke Hemmings was talking to me and getting me a drink. I looked around for Marie, but she was nowhere to be found. And neither was Ashton. I'm not surprised, I thought to myself.

      "Here's your drink, Elle!" Luke said, walking up and handing me my drink. "Thanks! What did you get?" I asked. "Sprite, same as you. I don't drink." He said grinning. Good, he's not an underage drinker, because that wouldn't be good.

    "Wanna go to the beach?" He asked. I nodded. He grabbed my hand (omg) and pulled me out to the beach. "Night swimming?" I asked. "Yeah, sure." He said, ripping off his shirt. Thankfully, I wore a bathing suit underneath, so I took off my dress. We ran into the water and it was FREEZING. "Luke, this is way too cold for me!" I said, running towards the shore, but before I could make it, he grabbed my wrist. "No way. But since you're still here, I have a question. Will you go out with me?" He said, staring into my eyes. "Of course!" I screamed, jumping up and down. I hugged him and said, "When and where?" He grinned and exclaimed, "A week from today, at 11:00. And wear your bathing suit." And with that, he walked away and back to the party.

      In the car, I told Marie everything that happened. "Ohmygod, are you serious? That's awesome!" She said. "What happened with you and Ashton?" I asked, nudging her. She blushed and said, "Nothing.." "OH PLEASE MARIE, TELL ME!" I yelled. "Ok, so he gave me food, which made me like him 100% more," She said, giggling, "And then he asked me out. But it's tomorrow. And it's at the fanciest resturant  in LA!" She screamed. "Ahh Marie I'm happy for you!" I said. I really was, I'm just glad Luke isn't taking me to a fancy place. I'm not a real big fan of them, but Marie sure is. "I'm so excited!" We yelled in unison, then started laughing. Life couldn't get any better.

So that's the first chapter! Kinda short, I know. But the chapters will be longer soon.

See you guys next time I update! Bye! -Natalie!
