Mixed(emotions)tape *Luke Hemmings*

First impressions (can happen twice)

*Luke Pov*
Savoring the last few days of summer was always a drag for me. There was nothing to do, no parties, more stress, and the horror of school starting again soon. It was simply an ordinary afternoon the boys and I finished band practice early and were sitting on my porch trying to think of something to fill in the empty space of time.

"You know what if....what if Stacy's mom didn't have it going on?" Questioned Calum, it's the weirdest thing he'll sit in silence and just say the most random shit. But that was Cal.

"Well then, Fountains of Wayne would've never had a hit single." retorted Ashton. "And Stacy probably wouldn't have competition with her mum."

I laughed, not really at Ashton's answer more that it's the end of summer and this was how we were spending our second last day.
"Damn that's a nice car." Michael said a little too loudly. A black cadillac swung around the street corner a little to fast.
Hmm whoever was driving the car had good taste in music, "dammit" by blink-182 one of my favorite bands. Next thing you know it's a chick getting out of the car, I'd be lying if I said she wasn't hot. Long brown hair, skinny, and sorta tall, I would tell you the rest of her features but she had sunglasses on. Damn. I just got a hot neighbor,
a smile drew across my face.

"Oh, look the new neighbors are moving in! I should make cookies, hmm maybe a bottle of wine to welcome them." Ah my overly sweet mother that everyone called Liz.

"Mom, mother, LIZ! Is that, Jonah? Jonah Richard Carrow! What the fuck are you doing here man?!?"

Okay, I know it just wasn't me that was confused but my brother Jack knew these people?

"Jacky boy, you surprised?" The guy who apparently is named Jonah said grinning.
"Holy shit is that Luke?"
Okay what the fuck is going on.... how does this punk know me. He was American, I've never even been there before.
I shook hands with Jonah, apparently he used to live in Sydney until he was 16 then he moved into his Aunts house in LA. Jack and him were best friends. Well that explains a lot. But still who's the chick?
"Jonah sweetie how are you? Where's your aunt? Ciera, Right?" My mother said.

Well this should be great apparently I knew these people, even though I don't have a clue about them.

"Hey, boys make yourself useful and carry in some boxes for the Carrows." My mother said with a tone in her voice, that translated to "get off your ass and make me look good in front of the neighbors". I rolled my eyes.

Great, now normally I wouldn't really care about helping, it'd be nice if we got money or food as a payment. I get pissed at the small things. It pissed me off more that mum hasn't exactly explained who these people are and now she wants us to help them.

"Sure thing, Liz. Come along children!"

Ashton said way too cheerfully, he was a people person that's for sure. I hated when he called us children. I reluctantly got up and dragged my feet all the way into the house next door.

"Liz, oh my word it's so good to see you, it's been way too long." a slender blonde woman said while embracing my mother.

"Hi I'm Ciera, you probably don't remember me, Luke right? I knew you when you were very little, your mom was very good friends with my husband."

"Nice to meet you...again? These are my friends Calum, Ashton, and Michael." I timidly answered, feeling like an idiot.

"C'mon Ciera why don't you and I crack this bottle open and let the kids unpack...they have youth, they can do it right, boys?" Liz implied as an order.

"Righttttt......" we all answered sullenly.

"Uh, who's Abbey?" Calum asked reading the box in his hands labeled Abbey in big, black sharpie letters.

"Oh, silly me that's my daughter she should be upstairs, you boys look her age, maybe you'll have classes with her this year, I'm assuming you do to the high school down the road..... you know Liz do you think lighter curtains would make the room look bigger?"

She walked away with my mum before any of us could process what she quickly mumbled.

What a lovely woman.😕 Jonah and Jack were already in Jonah's room playing FIFA by the time me and the boys got up there.
"Oy! Where do these boxes go!"
I half shouted to them.
"End of the hall." Jonah answered.
"You guys could help ya know." I muttered. This is a big ass house. Like seriously who the hell were these people. Probably some prissy,rich Americans.

Down the long narrow hallway and to the only open door, that one green day song I should know but never can remember drifted in the air.

Me and the boys,who were also very stunned, loomed into the doorway.
Posters everywhere, All Time Low, Green Day, Blink 182, Panic at the disco, FallOutBoy, you name a band and it was most likely on this girls wall.
"Abbey" was standing on a large black desk hanging up a guitar on a wall mount. This chick just keeps getting better. I'm pretty good with picking up girls, it seems that all I have to do is bite my lip ring and tell them I'm in a band, then they're all over me. Not that it should impress anyone but I am the school's badass. I'm also quite proud of my title as well.

"Hey, look just because our mums are friends doesn't mean we are." I remarked.

"Ouch" said the girl with a certain annoyance and sarcasm floating in her voice.

She turned around looked at me with green eyes? Hard to tell. She jumped off her desk, black skinny jeans and bare feet rigidly walking forward.

"I'm Abbey Carrow and you are?" Hand out stretched, black daggers pointing outward, she had this certain look of dominance.

I bit my tongue
