change [luke]

twenty days before

*IMPORTANT NOTE AT THE END*

The gentle patter of rain sloshed against the windows of my room. it was a wednesday afternoon and I had now been in Sydney three days, this being my fourth. I had been overly adventurous the past three days. More than I would be in America so I decided a lazy day in bed with my laptop and some Disney movies was well deserved. Just as I was about to start the first movie, which was The Little Mermaid, my phone buzzed from the nightstand beside me.

From Michael

hey loser I'm off school, wanna hang out? :)

To Michael

i would argue and say im not a loser but i am in bed rn watching the little mermaid

From Michael

OH MY GOD CAN I COME OVER??

To Michael

OKAY OMG THE FRONT DOOR IS OPEN WALK IN

And in record breaking time Michael strolled into my room holding a bag of food. My eyes widened at the bag as I moved over making room for him.

"I figured you would appreciate this" Michael admitted proudly, setting himself down beside me. Just as he sat down I threw my arms around his shoulders. He awkwardly patted my back and giggled in my ear.

"So what's up?" I asked, grabbing a chocolate bar. Michael shrugged, opening a pack of chips before offering me one. I hesitantly declined and went back to my chocolate.

"I just didn't feel like going in today. I never miss school, like I'm allowed to be badass once in a while" Michael announced setting the laptop between us.

"That's so punk rock" I smirked, pressing play on the movie.

"Shut up, that's my thing!"

--------------------

I awoke three hours later, the laptop running the main menu of the now finished movie. My head rested gently on Michael's shoulder, soft snores escaping his slightly parted lips. I smiled lightly removing my head from his shoulder trying my best not to waken him. He stirred slightly as I moved the laptop onto the ground and stood up from the bedside.

I successfully made it to the hallway without awakening Michael and proceeded to make my way downstairs where I was met by Melissa and a familiar voice speaking from the kitchen. As I neared closer to the kitchen I instantly recognised the voice that belonged to a particular blonde haired blue eyed specimen. Luke.

"Would you look who decided to wake up!" Melissa announced playfully slapping my shoulder. I rolled my eyes blushing as I watched Luke smiling at me from the corner of my eye.

"Hi Luke!" I giggled groggily still not fully there after my power nap. He shook his head a grin stretched across his features and greeted me back. Almost immediately Melissa left the kitchen retreating back to the unattended laundry in the living room leaving both of us alone.

"What have you been up to today?" Luke asked, pouring us both a glass of orange juice. I thanked him as he handed me the glass and sat down at the breakfast bar.

"Nothing really, watched the Little Mermaid with Michael in my room and we both fell asleep aft we like ten minutes of it" I laughed softly swirling my straw around the juice. Luke forced a smile and stared down at his cup for a moment leaving an awkward blanket of silence in the air. I continued to swirl my straw and Luke coughed a couple times.

"So is Michael still asleep in your room?" Luke finally asked not fully reaching my gaze. There was something evident in his eyes. I'm not quite sure what it was but it was something alright. Betrayal almost. I softly patted his arm and stood up.

"Yeah, I'll go wake him up and send him downstairs while I fix my hair and stuff"

Luke stared at the spot where I pat his arm and then switched his gaze to me. I sent him and awkward half smile and continued upstairs.

I'm not quite sure what happened at that moment but I hoped that it meant what I thought it meant.

Luke was jealous.

------------------------

"I fell asleep like twenty minutes in" Michael yawned as we sat into the booth at the pizza parlour. Calum chuckled and grabbed the menu from Luke's grasp, earning a playful whack in the arm from him.

"I can't even remember watching it, I just died man" I laughed peeking into Ashton's menu beside me. Once he noticed I was looking he shot me a friendly smile before setting the menu between us giving me a better look.

"Anyone wanna share?" I finally asked realising I wasn't hungry enough to eat a full pizza to myself.

"Luke will! He's always complaining that no one shares with him" Michael moaned. Luke pouted.

"We're not all pizza enthusiasts like yourself" Luke scoffed a childish look about his face. Michael faked a exasperated look and wiped a fake tear from his eye.

"Everyone is a pizza enthusiast Luke. Even if you don't pizza you're a pizza enthusiast" Ashton said and surprisingly everyone except myself agreed. The evening went on like this for a while, throwing out random jokes and stupid analogies and all in all I really enjoyed myself. These guys were without a doubt my new friends.

But throughout the evening I couldn't help but meet the familiar ocean blue eyes everytime I looked up, it made my heart skip a beat. My stomach flutter.

And it frightened me.

It frightened me that someone I met four days ago could have such an effect on me.

Four days and I was falling in love with a boy that would forget about me once September arrived.
