Money: Luke Hemmings

43

12th of May 2016

'I really need to be studying right now,' I said as I pulled on my black heels, a laugh admitting from Violet's mouth. 'I'm serious! I have Cambridge to worry about, not our stupid athletics dinner.'

'Oh come on it will be fun Annabelle,' Violet said from my bedroom floor, as she had been waiting for me to get ready for an hour. Eloise and Cara had left ten minutes ago to go and meet Calum and Michael who wanted to leave for the dinner early, even though it was only across the oval in the school presentation hall.

'Yeah I know it will be fun but it still doesn't change the fact that I have study to do.'

'What about Ashton and Luke's eighteenths?' Violet questioned. 'Are you going to miss those two because you have study to do?'

'No but Luke is my boyfriend and Ashton is one of my best friends, that is so different,' I huffed as I picked up my gold clutch and followed Violet out of my room and down the hallway to the elevator.

'Just relax Belle, you will be fine, you always are,' she said with a reassuring smile, tucking her loose curls behind her ears, highlighting her insanely good cheekbones.

'I know I'm just nervous for exams, that's all,' I sighed as we reached the ground floor, Luke and Ashton waiting in the courtyard for us.

'We all are, but you're a nerd, you'll be fine,' Violet laughed and I just rolled my eyes at her as we walked to the courtyard to where Luke and Ashton were standing together.

Violet did not have to worry about the results of her exams, as she was already signed to IMG Models, meaning she was set after high school. She had put her modelling career on hold for the last year of school but as soon as she was done, it was back to photoshoots and runways for her.

'Hey you two,' Ashton said with a smile, his eyes looking Violet up and down, the two of them still not dating.

'Hey Ash,' I said with a grin, giving Luke a soft kiss on the cheek, being careful to not leave any red lipstick stains.

'C'mon, let's go see who is going to win the awards this year,' Luke said as he took my free hand and the four of us began to walk to the presentation hall.

'You look beautiful, by the way,' Luke whispered in my ear, which made me blush slightly. I decided on not buying anything new for the presentations and decided to dig through my wardrobe instead, settling on a black one-shoulder dress with a slight ruching to the fabric.

'Thanks, babe, so do you,' I said with a grin.

'I look beautiful you reckon?' he asked before fiddling with his lip ring, something he does a lot when he is nervous.

'You always look beautiful,' I said with a grin, lightly kissing his blazer clad shoulder. 'Why are you nervous?'

'I'm not nervous,' he protested loudly as we arrived in front of the presentation centre.

'He is nervous that he won't win best male senior athlete this year,' Ashton said with a slight grin on his face.

'Who else would win it you idiot, you're the one who won everything,' I laughed as we walked inside and entered the elevator to take us upstairs.
