Chapter two: A Step Closer To You

I puffed a breath out to the cold wind, that told me this place is FKING COLD ITS NEW YORK.

I heard my phone buzz and stopped walking,

Oh, its Luke.

I havent talked to him since I met him, and I felt like we really aren't... friends?

Luke: "Hey.. long time no see."

Carmen: "yeah!.. It's been a while."

Luke:"So where do you live??"

I barely know him. I wanted to say fck off. But I'm a little nicer than that.

Carmen:"None of your busniess :)"

Luke:"..okay. I just wanted to talk to you. I heard you play guitar too?"

I DO NOT PLAY GUITAR. Who did he hear this from?

Carmen: "I do not play guitar. Who told you this?"

Luke: ".I just guessed maybe? You look like you play guitar :)"

Carmen:"Oh, I don't. I've ALWAYS wanted to. "

Luke:"Well maybe I can teach you! It's super easy to learn some chords."

I barely know this kid, but it's really my dream. My dad plays his guitar all the time, but now I barely see him. My mom and dad divorced a while ago, and I feel like I'm.. not really his girl anymore.

Carmen:"You know what?! I'm all up for it!! :D"

I found out luke lives in Sydney, Australia. He lives pretty close by to me. Probably would take 35 minutes to get to his house if I rode my bike. We decided to ,meet tomorrow, and I was actually excited. :)

BZZZ BZZZ BZZ

"Shut up."

I hate my alarm clock. PERIOD

I turn off my alarm and go eat breakfast downstairs. My mom works on Saturdays, so i always have the house to me me me. After eating breakfast I take a shower and brush my teeth.

Before I knew it it was 4PM, my mom would be home in an hour. I told her I would be back at 6, and I head out the door with my pink floyd shirt with some skinny jeans. I put on my white high tops and head out the door.

I arrive to Luke's house for the first time on my push bike. My heart was pounding a little, I've never really gone to a boy's house..

I was always so awkward around boys and never could speak to them at school. It didn't matter if the boy was hot, nerdy, mean, nice... I just never really could make a guy friend.

I knocked on the door nervously tugging on my ponytail while waiting.

The door creaked and then I saw Luke. He looked exactly the same from all the videos.

"Hi, It's me Carmen." I yell with a smile shrugging up my shoulders.

I can tell he's looking at my brown hair.. Is it messed up...?

"Hi, I'm Luke. I'm eating pizza right now want some?", Luke askes with a smile. I literally just met him.. and he offers me pizza. I like him. :)

"Haha, I'm fine right now. Thanks though." I reply. My lunch was still sitting in my stomach.

I won't forget that day I met him. He was wearing a blue tank top and shorts right above his knee. His hair swooped in one direction causing him to look like he had a fringe going on.

He lead me into his room which smelled like boys.

"Hey those pink speakers!!" I point out laughing.

Luke turns around me and smiles.

Luke finishes his pizza and hands me his guitar.

"Do you know anything??"Luke asked impatiently.

Um,, I thought I was here to learn guitar. I've like barely even touched one. Gosh.

"No, I've never played guitar.. I told you." I answered back nervously.

"Right right.. okay hold that that that.." Luke was pointing to diffrent places of where my finger should be. I try to hold onto the strings tight but I always slipped as the chords got harder.

"Ew, that sounds gross." Luke looked at me in disgust.

OH MY GOD. SHOOT HIM.

"Luke I JUST started. Give me a break." I glared at him

Then I laughed. I felt like he was the brother I never had.

Luke goes behind me and puts his arms around his guitar I'm holding. I can feel him breathing right next to me.. he's basically on top on me. He puts his finger on the right places and strums.

"see, that's how you do it." He laughs then realzing I'm right under him.

I feel my cheeks getting red. I've never been this close to a boy. I'm such a freak that I've never hugged a boy.

"I'm sorry... I didnt know I was like..--

"it's okay" I quickly say and smile looking up at him. He then lets go of me and talks to me how his brohters are always away from home. He says he's always bored because his parents don't come from work until it's late. I feel bad and look up to him saying,

"My parents are divorced.. I'm always like that too. I'm also an only child." I say strumming the guitar with random fingerings.

Luke then sits down next to me and tells me that he has a dream.

"My dream.. My BIG BIG dream is to be in a band. I want to become a rock star with my guitar and friends. I just don't have the support from my family.. But I believe in this so much. I know I can do it. I just have to try try try.

Thats my big dream. "

Luke says facing directly to me in the eye.

"Luke, I belive in you. You have a good voice and you can play the guitar well. I wish you the best luck." I whis

"Thank you, Carmen. thank you."
