Heartbreak Boy (Luke Hemmings/5SOS)

Chapter 2

Sierra's P.O.V

(We're friends.. I think)

Apparently, Luke is seating beside me. I hope the teacher won't assign us to new seats. I can literally feel my cheeks burning.

The teacher, Ms. Wood, was calling out our names for attendance.

"Holmes?" she called.

I didn't pay attention. I just sat there frozen, still dazed.

She called once again. I didn't respond.

The person beside me touched my shoulder for motivation. That person was Luke.

"Y-yes. Present!" I stuttered.

The whole class stared at me in which I didn't care.

"Th-thanks," I whispered at Luke.

He nodded and smiled.

Oh dammit. That smile. Asdfghjkl.

Shit. I'm blushing.

I looked away to hide it.

_____________________

School's been great so far especially first period. The only subject I hated was History. I've always been bad at History. I mean, who else wants to learn about dead people who did nothing?

Oh and by the way, I still haven't recovered when Luke touched my shoulder. It was the first step to physical contact. Second step would be hugging, then holding hands. Then maybe kissing.

I know, I'm kinda weird when it comes to crushes. Don't judge me, you're like that too.

I finally arrived home.

"How's school?," mum asked.

"It's great mum!" I replied with a happy mood.

Mum thought I was kidding because I am usually in a bad mood every time I arrive from school. Well...

She doesn't know why I'm in a good mood though.

She doesn't know about my feelings for Luke and that we weren't friends anymore. She still thinks we're best friends. But I guess she forgot about it now.

I propped myself at the couch, flipping tv channels.

"Sweetie, aren't you preparing for tonight?," mum approached me.

"What tonight?"

"Wait, didn't I tell you that we're both going out for dinner?"

"Cool, mom. Where?"

Why are we going out for dinner? Is it a celebration for my miraculously good mood? Oh.

"Liz invited us to have dinner with her family. Your friend, what was his name? Luke right?"

"WHAT?," I said with a raised tone.

"Exciting right?"

Mum clearly has no idea. This dinner's gonna be so awkward. I don't want him to see me. I'm too ugly.

I have no choice. I ran upstairs to my room. I took a cute flower print dress that shows my shoulders and covers my chest. I wore my brown sandals which was the only decent one left. I applied makeup, I keep on erasing it just to make myself look perfect though I never will.

I look into the mirror. I see a girl struggling to look perfect.

I'm still ugly.

"You ready?" mum called.

"Mum can I stay at home? I have homework to do," I shouted. I didn't want to go there looking like a hippo.

"No. You can't stay"

"Fine," I said as I met up my mum at the car.

We drove listening to Justin Timberlake. Mum is obsessed with him.

"Sweetie, why is it that you didn't want to come?"

"I have homework, I swear," I lied.

"It is the first day of school and you have homework?"

"Yeah"

Give me a medal for being the biggest liar.

I don't get why was this a huge deal for me. Why do I have to lie about it? I don't know.

We arrived at the Hemmings' residence. Their house is big! Or majestic, should I say.

Luke's mum, Mrs. Hemmings, greeted us and let us in. She is nice.

"Do you want to hang out with Luke?" Mrs. Hemmings asked me.

I'd love to.

"No, thanks. I'm fi-"

"Luke come here!," she said before I finished talking.

Luke came wearing a rock band shirt and shorts. He look gorgeous as usual. And his hair, oh.

"Hey, Sierra," Luke said.

He remembered my name. I'm so happy. Maybe he still remembers the time when we were both friends. I guess not.

"Hi," I said shyly.

He motioned me to come with him to the tv room where his friend was there playing video games. I think his name was Calum. I can't remember.

"Cal, meet my friend Sierra," Luke called out.

Friend. He still thinks of me as his friend. I can feel my invisible tears.

I smiled when Calum took out his hand to shake.

"Nice to meet you," Calum greeted. He looks cute though.

The three of us sat on the couch, Calum in the middle of Luke and me.

"Sierra, do you still know how to play this? I remember you defeating me," Luke said and smiled, probably thinking of the game before when we were young.

He remembered. I am slowly melting.

"Yeah, of course. After all, you called me the Champion"

"Oh yeah"

We played video games and I think we're both starting to become friends again.
