High School With Hemmings

Chapter 4

I get dropped off before Luke, so I say my goodbyes and run in the house. I say hi to my mom and go up to my room. I still have to finish some of my homework, so I begin to work on that. I am soon interrupted by a text from "Luke<3"

"Hey:) I hope you had fun today, sorry if the guys are a little crazy"

I replied, "No you guys are really funny!"

"Sure" he responds sarcastically.

"Yes haha" I say. It does feel a little bit awkward texting Luke right now, but that's only because we just met.

"Haha" he says back. How do I freaking respond to "haha"? I sit there and think for a bit, but then I just send him a text that will end the conversation.

"Well thanks again, Luke. I'll see you tomorrow:)" I throw a little smiley face in there to soften the text up.

He just responds with, "See you Marilyn:)". The conversation is short only because we are just getting to know each other and I honestly can't wait to see him again tomorrow.

I finish my homework about an hour later and get into bed. So much has happened in the last day; I just need a moment to think. I wish I had a close best friend that I could call and tell everything to, but I never really made one before. I just really wanna talk to someone about Luke. My mom is an option, but we never really talk about guys a lot, so it would be awkward. I guess I'll have to keep it to myself until anything major happens. I just want to focus on getting to know Luke better because I am interested in him, but I don't know if he's just really friendly. He seems like a really great guy though. It's getting pretty late, so I decide to go to sleep. 5:30 am comes pretty quick.

^-^

My mom comes in and wakes me up for school and I get up immediately. I walk over to my closet and decide to put a navy blue oversized sweater on with really cute peach shorts. I wear a pair of navy vans and throw a little silver necklace on. I walk over to my bathroom and wash my face. I put on the same makeup as the day before. I decide to wear my hair down. It looked pretty nice after I brushed it; the waves weren't crazy for once. I went downstairs to eat a granola bar before my mom drove me to school. I hear my phone buzz and I see it's a text from Luke.

"Good morning Marilyn:) see you in school" He's so sweet. I smile and get my backpack and get in the car. My mom comes out to the garage and she takes me to school.

I walk into the school and I can't find Mike, Calum or Luke anywhere in the front of the school so I just walk to my locker to get my things for my first class. As I turn the corner, I see Luke leaning up against my locker again. "I see you remember your way around the school," Luke says with a grin.

"Yes you were a big help yesterday, Luke," I say, smirking. I open my locker and put my backpack inside. I reach to grab a book, but it slips out of my hand.

"Here, let me help you with that," He grabs my book out of my locker for me.

"Thanks," I say and smile up at him. I just realized that he is tall. Like, really tall. I am at least a foot smaller than him. He looks back down at me and smiles, showing his perfect teeth. "We should get going; it's almost time for first period," I say, kind of awkwardly. Why do I always ruin a perfect moment?

"Right," he says as we head down the hallway to class.

^-^

The rest of the day flies by and the next thing I know, I'm at my locker packing up to go home. I can't find Luke anywhere, but I saw Calum and Michael at lunch. I shut my locker and walk outside. My mom is parked in the front of the parking lot and I walk to our car. "How was your day sweetie?" She asks as I open the car door.

"It was fine mom. Now can we leave because I have a lot of homework to do tonight," I reply. She starts the car without an answer and we drive home.

When we pull in, I quickly get in and run up to my room to get started with my homework. I finish it in a good hour and a half, so I have some time to go on Twitter and Instagram and everything. I end up tweeting, "it's been a long day and I really want a coffee rn:(". It's true. I've been so tired lately with all of my schoolwork, even if it's only been two days. High school is tough, especially if you're a new student. I just sit there laying on my bed and looking up at the ceiling. I decide to text Calum to see if he is up to anything. "Hey cal what's up?" I ask.

"Just picking up the boys to go see a movie. Wanna come?"

"Sounds great!! U sure it's okay with the guys?"

"Yup Luke is dying to see you;)" I sit there and blush. Calum's probably teasing me right? Luke doesn't like me, we are just really good friends. Why would he like me anyway?

I just play along with it. "Okay you tell him I miss him;) lol I'll see you in a bit!" I reapply my makeup and brush through my hair before I see them pull into my driveway. All of them are there; Luke, Ashton, Michael, and Calum. I can hear Blink 182 blaring out of the speakers, even though I am all the way in my room. I run back downstairs, tell my mom I'm leaving, and then I'm out the door.

Sorry if this isn't that great of a chapter, the next one is a lot better lol
