have you ever felt the need to talk to someone? not just anyone in particular, but a someone. someone who is special. you need to talk to them ever so desperately?
luke felt this, more than usual this wednesday.
calum, the scrawny asian boy, was no where to be seen. luke was pleased by this. he didn't want to talk to him. he wanted to talk to the girl.
today, she looked stunning. but in an eclectic way. she had ripped jeans on long legs and a large grey jumper. luke recognised the band on it. nirvana. he wasn't sure what kind of music they played as he never listened to them.
she had the same hair as the week before. 'a new record' as it was the longest she had gone without dying the slowly thinning hair.
luke ran his hand through his own blond mop of hair and squinted his eyes.
"today is the day, lukey boy," he mumbled to himself. the siren sounded for the basketball game to end and slowly everyone but the girl and luke filed out of the gym. after a few seconds the girl looked up, and pulled her white earphones from her ears. she snapped her book closed and stood up. she stuffed everything into the flannel satchel at her left side.
"hey!" luke shouted and mentally kicked his own ass for doing so.
the girls head flicked up and she glared at the scrawny teenage blond.
luke saw this as an opportunity to wave to her. she did not wave back.
luke hot footed it down the bleacher steps as the girl started heading towards the exit of the gym. "hey," he said again.
"can i fucking help you?" the girl bit back, practically killing luke with the poison she spat.
"uh, no. i'm luke," he whispered, all confidence he had just managed shrivelling up and dying in a dark corner.
"i'm aisha. can i go now?"
and with that she exited the gym and luke was left with no sound but his own heavy breathing and the sound of the door swinging back and forth with soft clicks.
all that build up to this conversation. and that was all. but what had luke expected? she would swoon into his arms and fall completely in love with him? well, he wished.
but what could he possibly do to win this girl's attention? there was a few things. but in his mini brainstorm one idea stood out to him.
pierce my lip, he thought to himself.
impress the girl.
impress aisha.
