Dusk came quickly, and unfortunately, my mum called me to ask me where I was. I told her I was at a friend's house to study, had to use her phone charger, and forgot to call.

"I'll drive you home," Luke bounced off the couch to grab his keys. I dragged on behind him, wishing I could stay the night.

I sat down on the passenger's side as he started the car and popped in a CD.

"Want to hear my work? I sing in the band."

I gave a dramatic sigh. "If you say so," he laughed as he hit the play button.

As the song played, I instantly fell in love with it.

And everybody wants to take you home tonightBut I'm gonna find a way to make you mine

"Don't Stop," He paused, as if he lost his train of thought. "Is the song title.."

I wish that song was about me. "Who was that about? Sounded like Blink 182."

"That's our goal. Um...somebody that I used to know."

"Pretty lucky that she met you."

He smiled. "This your house?"

"Yep."

"Okay. I'll see you soon. Bye, Michelle."

"Bye Luke. Thanks for everything."

"Wait a second! I didn't get your phone number!"

"I totally forgot. Here, I'll make a contact on your phone."

I typed quickly, each click of the typing sound effect made me nervous. I gave it back and ran inside.

My mother was waiting by the front door. She saw Luke as he politely waved to her before driving away.

"Whose that?"

"Oh, his name's Luke."

"Luke who?"

"Hemmings."

"I see. He your boyfriend?"

My little sister came running over now. "Michelle's got a boyfriend! Michelle's got a boyfriend! Michelle and her boyfriend sitting in a tr-"

I covered her mouth with my sweatshirt sleeve. I struggled holding her down. "N-no he's not."

I yelped. "She bit me!" I let go of her and she stomped off.

My mother laughed. "It's okay! He's cute. In fact, I think he should be your boyfriend. Polite, too. You need someone anyway." I rolled my eyes and cringed at the thought. I walked upstairs all the way to my room with that face on to emphasize it, too. When I closed my door, I inhaled deeply, and exhaled, smiling big and blushing like crazy. I wanted him to be my boyfriend, too. And my mum approved! I also got his number, which means I'll see him again! Words weren't strong enough to describe the nervousness, love, and other uncharted emotions I was feeling all at once. What was this? Was this love I was feeling? I think it was.
