************************************

 After Luke sat in his room for a good three hours, he got up. Picking up the worn-down journal, he decided to actually go outside.

Once he stepped out the door, he realized three very important things.

One, he wasn't wearing pants.

Two, it was Wednesday afternoon, and he missed school, without even noticing.

Three, where the hell was his mom? Shouldn't she be mad about that?

Luke blushed, running back inside and putting on his black skinny jeans. He smiled, looking down at the hole in the knee of his favorite jeans. I'm so punk rock, Luke giggled, feeling satisfied with his appearance. He decided to maintain the new punk rock side of him by going to the local coffee shop.

Luke tripped three times on the way to the coffee shop, of course. He couldn't help but stumble over his long legs. Lucas was a lanky-ass boy.

He sighed, picking himself up off the concrete. He hated being himself sometimes. Well, most of the time.

When Luke arrived, he smiled at the calm atmosphore the coffee shop provided. Everyone was relatively quiet, content, and kind.

"Hi, what can I get for you today?" A pretty blonde lady, asked. Her nametag read Aleisha. Hmm, she seemed about Luke's age.

He couldn't help but blush. "Umm, coffee? I don't really know much about it, what kind should I get?" Luke asked quietly, almost to himself. 

Aleisha laughed. "Would you like a mocha? It's like an adult version of hot chocolate. It tastes good, but it still makes you feel cool." She said happily. If only Luke could talk like that with strangers so easily.

What about Michael? Michael isn't a stranger, he's different.

"Um, s-sure! That sounds nice. Just like, a small one, please."
"You mean a tall? That's the smallest size we have. Heh, tall, like you." She said, before realizing how weird it sounded. They both blushed. Maybe she was a bit awkward, after all. That made Luke feel a bit better about himself.

"Yeah, I'd like that. Um, when is your break? I'd like to... hang out with you?" Luke stated/asked, he didn't really know anymore. 

"In ten minutes, actually. I'd love to hang out with you." Aleisha smiled.

Luke sat down on one of the couches. He pulled out his iPhone, looking up how to be punk rock on Google. Maybe if he were cooler, he'd like himself more. 

The webpage loaded. 

STEP ONE, GET A PIERCING! LIP PIERCINGS PROBABLY LOOK THE BEST ON MALES, AND NOSE PIERCINGS LOOK BEST ON FEMALES.

Well, that was it. He was getting a lip piercing. After he finished his mocha, of course. 

A few minutes later, Aleisha sat next to him handing him his drink. "You didn't pay for that, you know." She pointed out.

Luke nearly spat out the drink. He didn't realize that. He didn't even have any freaking money with him.

"OH my god I'm so so so so so sorry I didn't even bring my money! What was I thinking, you know what I'll call my mom and-"

"YOU CAN HAVE IT DON'T WORRY JESUS" Aleisha yelled, cutting him off.

They were both silent for a second, and then began laughing their arses off. People began to stare at them, wondering if they needed to be put in a mental asylum. They probably did need that, but whatever.

Luke was beyond happy. He'd made friends, friends as in more than ONE friend omg, and that never happened. Not to Luke. Maybe things were looking better for him, after all.

Little did he know the one and only Michael Clifford was glaring at the two from across the coffee shop. Pure jealousy flowed through his veins. He wanted to be the one making Luke happy, not some pretty girl. Luke was bootiful, so full of booty. 

However, his rage suddenly turned to panic as he noticed Luke's number was back at zero. 

When Luke left that morning, it had been at one. What happened? 

Aleisha left, and Luke smiled as he looked down at the new contact in his phone. 

When he looked up, he saw Michael running over to him.

"Michael? What do you want?" Luke snapped, wanting to have some space away from him for once.

"I, uh, well.." 

"Please leave me alone. I'm about to go get a lip piercing."

"Well, can I come too?"

------------------------------

And that's why they were sat outside a tattoo shop groaning in pain (if you srsly didn't know like a lot of tattoo places do piercings??? at least im pretty sure like all of them do so).

"My lip is sore, Michael." Luke complained, touching his lip ring and whimpering.

"Yeah? Well my eyebrow is sore, shut up." 

"I still can't believe you got an eyebrow piercing, Michael. Why did you even do that?"

Michael shrugged. Luke wasn't the only one with wishes of being punk rock.

Luke got up, dusting off his jeans. "I'm going home, now. Bye." Luke waved, quickly walking away.

It wasn't until then that he realized Luke had left something behind. A journal.

--------------------------------

You don't know self control until the only boy who actually makes you smile leaves a journal full of secrets on the sidewalk, and you don't look through it.

Michael couldn't do that to him. 
He couldn't risk losing Luke. 

Luke made him forget everything. His insecurities, problems, school...

Fuck. He missed school.

Well he would usually skip it anyways. 

Michael laughed out loud. Luke was going to be the death of him. 

Michael spent the whole night with the journal on the other pillow, dreaming of what could be written inside.
