Michael's P.O.V

-

"Michael, get up! You're going to be late!" my mother calls from outside my door. I groan and roll off the bed, hitting the floor with a thump. "Today's gonna suck" I tell myself. I stand up and go to my closet. I choose a black shirt that reads Green Day American Idiot with a hand holding a dripping heart, black skinnies, and some boots. I check the time on my phone, hurrying to the bathroom to fix my neon green hair.

I grab my backpack, running down the stairs.

"Bye mum!" I yell before rushing out the door to my bus stop. When I get there I see a boy wearing a Misfits shirt, quiffed hair and a pierced lip. He looks at me and scoffs.

"Your hair looks worse than before," He pointed out.

"You look stupider than before" I rolled my eyes.

"Wow, nice comeback. What are you five? And stupider isn't a word."

"Whatever, I don't care" before he could reply more kids came to the stop. He ignored me and talked to them. I pull my phone out of my back pocket and plug in my head phones, blasting Nirvana. Luke turns around and glares at me but quickly turns back around. The bus came around the bend and stopped at the corner. The doors opened and we all got on. I sat in the front, leaning my head on the seat. On the way to school I started thinking; why does Luke hate me? I'd never done anything wrong, but then again I hate him. He'd never given me a real reason to hate him. He seemed to hate me so I hated him right back. We didn't always hate each other; we recently started to last year. I'd like to talk to him, he likes good bands and all; It's just he wouldn't want to talk to me. I sigh and lean my head on the window, listening to music until we get to school.

*On the bus ride home*

The whole day was a blur. I never pay attention so I don't remember much. All I do know is Luke is in four of my eight classes. I can't stop thinking about him, not in a feely feel kind of way, but about why we hate each other. I get off the bus, Luke following behind me.

"See ya later loser" he yells

I scoff opening the front door "Real mature" I yell back, slamming the door behind me. I drop my bag by the door, walking into the living room. I grab my laptop off the table and up YouTube. I look up covers of songs, blasting them through the house. My mum isn't home so I don't care; I wouldn't care regardless. I look through them, finding ones that catch my attention. As I'm scrolling I find one with a thumbnail of a boy about maybe 15, uploaded by someone named Hemmo1996. I click on it, curious. The boy looks familiar. When it loads I gasp. The boy introduces himself as Luke. He sings A Day To Remember. When he finishes I sit there in shock. I didn't know he could sing. I go to his channel, watching all his videos, He's really good. By the time I finish watching them all, it's around nine. I head to bed, taking the laptop with me. I couldn't believe he was that good. I wanted to tell him but he wouldn't listen.

*Monday at the bus stop*

I feel a presence behind me, when I turn around he's already looking at me- well, more like glaring.

"What are you staring at?" he scowls at me.

I sigh, deciding to mention it "So I was uh...on YouTube this weekend and..." I pause when I noticed he froze "I was watching some covers and one came up that I was interested in; his name was uh Hemmo1996." I grin at his expression that looked like he got caught doing something he really shouldn't be, "Care to explain?"

He shoots me a look then looks down, "I do them for fun" he admits, obviously embarrassed

"Yeah, and I play guitar...for fun" I mocked and gave him a playful smile (that rarely ever happened).

"Really?" He asks softly, lifting his gaze so he was looking at me again, but not glaring into my soul,"do you sing?'

"Yeah, actually I do that too" I look at him and he looked away again.

He looked at me suddenly then asked "would you do a cover with me?'

Luke's POV

-

Michael looked at me shocked. He stumbled over his words "I uh... you... we..." he sighed "I thought you hated me" he said sounding sad and bit confused

"I mean, I did or at least acted like it, but only because you seemed to hate me.

Michael scoffed "No I did because of the same reason."

I laughed "So we don't hate each other?

He smiled "I don't hate you"

I smiled back "Well good, I don't hate you either"

When we got on the bus we talked about everything we missed in each other's lives. It was good to have Mikey back.

Michael's POV

On the bus ride Luke told me about his brother Ben going to college and Jacks soccer games. I told him about me beating my Pokémon Game. He laughed, causing his dimples to show. "You just finished that game? You've been playing it for so long, I thought you would've beat it then"

I laughed "It was a hard game, don't judge me!' I said covering my face with my sleeves. When we got to school we walked in together, since we had the first class together. We talked about random things.

Hmm, I like this side of him a lot more.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
