High School With Hemmings

Chapter 13

When we get to the house, we all head to our rooms to get changed and chill out for a little while. I hear loud crashes and bombs going off in the other room, but it is only the boys playing video games. Ellie and I stress about what we are going to wear and we rummage through our dressers trying to pick out something cute. I am down to a sleek fitting navy blue dress and capris and a cute top. Ellie and I both think the blue looks better on me, so I decide to wear that one. She eventually picks a dark purple flowy dress which she looks absolutely adorable in. After we finish picking out our clothes, I take a shower first. I get out to do my hair and makeup and she gets in. I blow dry my long blonde hair straight, and use a flat iron to touch up some spots. I put on a little blush and eyeshadow, along with some winged black eyeliner and mascara. Ellie finishes after I am done with my mascara, so I leave so she can get out of the shower. I throw on my dress and a pair of silver flats that I bought with my mom a few years ago. I take a look in the full length mirror and smile. I really like the way I look tonight, and I hope Luke does too. I sit on my phone and wait for Ellie to finish with her makeup and hair. I open twitter and realize that I don't follow Luke or any of the boys. I search up his name and I am really surprised at what I see. Luke has over 500,000 followers and seems to be pretty popular. My 1,000 is nothing compared to his 500,000. I follow him anyway, but he probably won't see it if he has that many fans.

Ellie walks out and already has her dress on. "El, you look like a goddess,"

"Why thank you," she says and does a little curtsy. "It's already 7:00, we should get the boys and head across the lake,"

"Yeah, just let me grab my bag. I'll meet you downstairs," I say and she walks out of the room. I can hear the video game stop and a bunch of footsteps heading down the stairs. As I go to reach for my bag, my phone lights up. On the screen it says I have a twitter notification. Luke just followed me back. I hear a knock on my door and I shut off my phone. "Yeah?" I call.

"Hey, um, can I come in?" A familiar accent asks.

"Sure Luke," I reply as he walks in.

"Oh my...," he stares at me. "You look... absolutely beautiful." He walks toward me and we are a few feet away from each other. He pulls me into a hug and twirls me around like we're dancing.

"Thank you," I say and look into his eyes. "You look very handsome yourself,"

"Thanks," he says and looks down at his feet and bites his lip. "I know this is really cheesy, but we never took a selfie together before, so I thought since we both are dressed up and look nice, well not that you don't look nice everyday but..." he rambles on nervously.

"Luke we can take a selfie, it's fine," I say and giggle. I like it when he's nervous around me. We both sit on the bed and lean against each other. He opens the camera on his phone and we start to take a bunch of pictures. Some we goofy, others were serious. A lot of them were just pictures of us laughing at how stupid we looked. After we take about ten, he stands up from the bed, and I do the same.

"Thanks Mar, I'll meet you downstairs," he says in my ear and kisses me on the cheek. He walks out of the room. When he shuts the door I smile. He is the sweetest and most caring guy I know. I grab my bag and my phone and head downstairs quickly, jogging to get out to the car. Everyone complains that Luke and I took forever and we just giggle at each other. They all give us looks and I blush a little. Mrs. Hood starts the car.

"Oh you silly teenagers," she says with a laugh and pulls out of the driveway.
