The Secret Admirer

f o u r

Luke's POV

I went to bed that night with my secret admirer on my mind.

I had texted Ashton and Calum about the note in a group chat. Ashton said he was jealous because no one had a crush on him. Calum said nothing.

I dreamt about him that night. Lame, I know. He kept repeating things that were said in the two notes. "You could get lost in those eyes" he said as he squeezed my hand. "I could listen to that voice all day" he said as he brushed his hand through my hair.

I never seen his face though. I don't know how, but anytime I would look at it it would go blurry, or he would disappear or he'd turn around. So I just stopped trying and listened to his words.

It was a huge disappointment to wake up to my alarm clock beeping. I turned it off and screwed up my eyes, hoping for the dream to come back, but it was gone, and reality came back and slapped me in the face. The reality of the situation was that I had to get out of bed. Ugh.

4 hours later and I was Maths class. Daydreaming, of course.

"Mr.Hemmings, please"

"Sorry?" I said confused.

"Answer the question"

Oh no, now I was in for it.

"Uhm...6?" The class giggled.

"No, it is not 6, not even close to 6, now please get your head out of the clouds and get your head back in this Maths class"

"Okay, sorry" I said, feeling my cheeks get darker. I payed attention for the rest of the class, not needing to, the teacher never called on me again.

I told Calum and Ashton about what happened when we were having lunch in the music room.

"Oooh daydreaming were we?" Teased Calum.

"About what I wonder?" Said Ashton, stroking his chin in mock consideration.

"Oh shut up you two, not like you don't daydream about eachother" I said.

"Yeah right,don't be stupid Luke, me and Calum aren't like that, are we Calum?" Ashton said, laughing.

"Yeah, no, of course not" Calum mumbled looking down. That may have been a bad move by me.

"Anyways" I said trying to change the subject "have you guys bought the new All Time Low album yet?"

I had a free class that I decided to spend in the library, studying. I had a chemistry test coming up and I couldn't fail this one. I was getting really warm so I took off my sweater and left it in the chair beside me.

After another half hour of mind-melting boringness, I got up and headed to my locker to get my books for the next class. I got my English books and headed to the class quickly as I was late (when am I not?).

I was just sitting down (after getting a scolding from the teacher) when I realized I'd forgotten my sweater in the library. I couldn't risk asking to leave class to get it, so I decided to just get it after. "I just hope it doesn't get stolen" I thought to myself.

*********

I walked to library to get my sweater, bumping into someone on the way in.

I muttered sorry, and tried to move around them. However they grabbed my arm and I looked up at them.

I was surprised to see Michael Clifford holding me. This guy basically ruled the school. He was captain of the football team, was dating the cheer captain, went to all the parties but never seemed hungover, he never fell behind on his school work, he was friends with everyone, never bullied anyone even though he could, in all honesty, he was the model child, the star pupil, he was the definition of perfect.

And here he was grabbing my arm and pulling me towards him. Oh no, I was in for it now.

"I-I'm sorry" I stammered.

"Oh" his eyes widened "Oh god, I'm not gonna hurt you oh my god"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

He grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes.

"I just wanted to check you're okay" he said, still looking me straight in the eyes.

"I-I'm fine, you didn't hurt me at all or- wait, why do you care?" I asked, genuinely confused.

"I'm just like that I guess" he mumbled, looking down.

"Thank you" I said, smiling like an idiot.

He looked up, he was smiling too.

"You're welcome"

He flashed me a cheeky grin and walked away.

Well that was strange.

I continued into the library, making my way to the place where I had bee seated earlier. I grabbed my sweater, slipping it on and walking back out of the library.

*********

I was walking out of school when Calum came running up to me.

"Hey Lukey, wanna come over?" He asked eagerly.

"Sure" I replied, chuckling at his excitement. "Let me just text my mum"

"Of course Mummy must know where little baby Lukey is at all times" Calum teased.

"Oh shut up you" I said hitting him playfully.

I reached into my sweater pocket to get my phone when I felt a piece of paper. I took it out, already half knowing what it was. I opened it up and, sure enough, it was another note.

"Dear Luke

You should pay attention in class lovely. You're gonna get yourself in trouble someday.

Love, Your Secret Admirer xxx"

Oh my god. He was there. He seen. I cringed at the thought, my face boiling.

"Ashton, get over here right now" I heard Calum call.

"We have a new development on our case, now lets get down to business"

Oh god.

Ayyyyy Mikey
