"Hey", Luke says as he comes up to me in the hall while I'm on my way to class. I stop and look up him at the corner of the large stairwells. I move so I can talk and the passing student can keep going by.

"Hi", I say dryly. I haven't spoken to Luke since Halloween a few nights ago. He's tried to text me but I haven't answered. I don't know how I'm feeling after that night but now I'm in a very dry and blain mood. I'm surprised that he didn't try to talk to me in our class together. It was silent in there the whole time between us. "So..."

"I want to talk to you", he says.

"Now? Here?" I question. "Luke I have to go to class. It's far from here"

"But I need to talk to you about Halloween and why you haven't answered when I try to talk to you"

"Can we not do this now?" I ask. He frowns and looks away for a moment. "Sorry. I'm not in the best mood today. We can talk later. Want me to come back over?"

"Right after school. Just come in like normal. I'll probably be in my room"

"Okay. I guess I'll see you then"

"Bye, Mel"

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

The school day had dragged on for a while. After school, I didn't go directly to Luke's house, though he waiting for me. I got a craving for a milkshake so I went to Steak & Shake and got milkshake for myself and I bought Luke some food to be nice.

Later I showed up at his place and walked straight in and started going up the stairs to Luke's before I hear my name called.

"Mel! I'm in the office", Luke yells at me. I make my way back down the stairs and down the hall of the main floor. I enter into the office where Luke is doing school work on the computer. I look around the room. The small room's walls are book selves. There's a dark wooden desk in the room with a black leather chair that Luke's in but I sit his food on the tiny table to the side along with my milkshake.

"I got you some food", I tell him.

"Thanks", he says. I move across the room in front of Luke and stand there, looking down at him in the chair. "So Halloween"

"Fun" I say dryly.

"Are you mad at me for afterwards when I was smoking?" He ask me."Or when I was hanging with Hannah? She's a little bitchy sometimes but she's not that bad when you get to know her"

"I'm not mad at you. I'm just bummed out for some reason about that night. Well the end of it. You can do what you want but you also invited me to go with you knowing that I don't smoke. It's just not a big deal either so Lani and I left to get pizza", I tell him. I'm lost about what I feel to him.

"Then why are so bummed? I'm missing your smile", Luke pouts. He puts out his bottom lip like a baby and it's adorable.

"I don't know"

"But we are okay?" Luke questions me as he stands from the chair in front of me. I nod my head and Luke steps forward to hug me."So did you have fun in the haunted house? Once I found you at least?"

"Yeah I did. It got weird", I say. I hint towards the almost kiss so I can bring it up casually.

"Oh that", Luke smirks. He moves closer to me. He's going to taunt me about this. "You mean when I was close to you like this?"
