Saturday I sat on the sofa leant against Luke, we sat there looking at photographs from when we were 5 years old. We were both so cute when we were younger. But looking at them now, immediately made me want to go back, we didn't have a care in the world. It didn't matter how we looked, or how our hair was, it was, in my case just a matter of wanting to build Lego houses. Luke was my best friend, and meant more to me than anything. 13 years ago I met him, on our first day of nursery. He wasn't a shy kid, he always came into school with a massive grin on his face, and we always used to sit with each other... Always. If we didn't we would both cry until they put us next to each other. Me and Luke were tweedle dee and tweedle dum, except I was tweeted dumb and Luke was tweedle dumbest. I smiled as I found a photo of Luke kissing my cheek on my 6th birthday celebration, before showing him.

"Oh my god! Luke this is so cute!" I smiled at it again as he kissed me on the cheek. I took anither photo out of his hand and put it on a pile along with a couple of other photos on the floor.

"What are you going to do with those photos?" He asked me, frowning at the photo pile.

"They are going on my wall" I replied, looking through the more photos. Luke just looked at me and frowned.

"In which case, I'm keeping this one and putting it on my wall" he laughed and began waving a photo around. I tried to look at it.

"No! Luke! You wouldn't do that..." I laughed trying to get the photo out of his hand. It was a baby photo mom must have took of me, way before I knew Luke, it's me in my high chair with a bowl of spaghetti and the sauce all around my face.

"Luke I'm seriously going to murder you if you don't give me that photo" i laughed, kneeling on the sofa trying to snatch the photo off him, he laughed and began waving it around his head. Fucker. Two can play this game. I reached out for another photo in the table in front of me.

"Listen shit pants, if you don't give me that photo I will photocopy this and stick it round school" I laughed. It was a photo of Luke sitting on the floor around 3 or 4 years of age, with yoghurt all around his mouth, in his hair, eye lids... I don't even know how he could get into such a mess, even for Luke that's shocking.

"You wouldn't" he gasped.

"Oh, I would!" I replied laughing at Luke's face. He gave me my photo back almost immediately, and I handed him over his,

"Oh my god, I can't believe I got in that much mess!" He laughed, pointing at all his facial features on the photo.

"Can't you? Have you see yourself when you eat pizza?" I laughed.

"Shut up Ava" he laughed. Luke calls me Ava, in fact everyone does. Including mine and Luke's other 2 closest friends, Michael and Calum. But my full name is Avalyn-Grace Moore, named after my grandma. I'm 17, the same age as Luke, and i love him a lot, he is like my older brother. I put the photos back down on the table, remembering that we have to go back to school next week.

"Do we have to go back to school on Monday?" I asked looking at Luke, and leaning against the side of the sofa. I lift my legs up so they were resting on his lap.

"Yup... but hey, another year, another fresh start" he smiled, stretching his hands behind his head.

"You say that every single year and each year seems to be worse than the other, even you know that" I replied. He sighed.

"Listen, I've chosen the same lessons as you so I will be in your lessons! You will be fine!" He smiled at me and
wrapped his hands around my fluorescent yellow duck socks that were liz's. I smiled at him and rotated myself around so my head was now on Luke's lap.

"Guys do you two want anything to eat?" Liz shouted from the kitchen.

"No thanks mom" Luke shouted back.

"I'm actually really hungry" I said to Luke.

"Do you want something to eat then?" He smiled, and raised his eyebrows, looking at me.

"Can't we have Nando's?" I asked, smiling as much as I could which resulted in my squinting.

"MOM?" Luke shouted almost instantly into the kitchen.

"WHAT" Liz shouted back to us and walked in the living room.
"CAN ME AND AVA GO TO NANDO'S?" He shouted.
"Luke sweetie... I'm standing right behind you" Liz replied walking towards me and Luke, resulting in a slight giggle being released from my still-minty breath. "If you want, but you dryer be back by 9pm" she looked at us both.

"Can't I stop at Ava's tonight?" He asked, smiling at Liz. She laughed and nodded.

"Thanks mom" he smiled. "Love you mom" he added and wrapped his arms are her to hug her.

"Move your feet honey pie" Liz asked. I moved my feet as Liz sat down beside me, then I put my feet on liz's lap.
"Erm..." She looked at me and frowned. I laughed and took my feet off her and sat up properly on the sofa.

"I'm sorry" I wrapped both of my arms around her and leant my head on her shoulder. She rested her head on top top of mine and flickered the ought the TV guide. Liz was my second mom, because of how young me and Luke were when we met. We used to go round each other's houses when we were six, alternate everyday, so we would come to liz's on dat and then mine the next day.

"Come on you" Luke said and jumped off the sofa. He reached his Hand out I front of me. I grabbed it as Luke pulled me up.

"See you later then mom" I smiled and hugged her.

"See you later sweetie" she replied hugging me back. I began to walk straight out the door.

"Ava! Shoes!" He laughed pointing to my shoes that were just behind the door. I grabbed them and ran outside as Luke shut the door behind him and unlocked the car. I climbed in and out on my seatbelt.
"I've been craving Nando's for about 3 weeks now" I replied my mouth felt like it was about to start watering because the image of Nando's haunting my brain excited me.

"Are you pregnant?" Luke laughed.

"W-wait what?" I laughed at him as he started to drive.

"Are you pregnant? Simples question" he laughed gain.

"Just because a girl craves something, doesn't mean she's pregnant" I replied.

"Mom craved tacos when she was pregnant with me" Luke laughed.

"I'm not surprised to be honest" I laughed at him. He just stared at me and frowned.

"No I am not pregnant Lucas. It's not even possible" I replied, Luke frowned.

"Wait you and Kellen haven't-"

"No" I cut him off.

"So your a virgin?" Luke asked

"What? No I'm not, but I haven't with Kellen. are you?"

"Of course, I haven't found anyone yet" he smiled. Wow. Luke Hemmings... A virgin? Who would've thought...
