ariel
A week since the two individuals met.

Ariel always emailed him. She always wanted to talk to him. Just not in school.
In school she would try to avoid him in the hall. Find sneaky ways to not see him. He was in most of her classes. He took advanced. He was in 11th grade and she was in 12th grade.

Now a day Luke was all she thought about.
From his blue eyes to his perfect smile. Her mind only wanted to be filled with the thought of him.

"What has been up with you lately?" Amber asked as they were at cheer practice. Just a few days before homecoming and there cheers had to be spot on.

"I am sorry." Ariel said quietly as she looked at Amber. She loved Amber to death, but she wasn't going to tell him she had a crush on the boy who wore the skinny jeans and band tees; it was not how their highschool worked. "I just been really wanting" She said trying to think of something to finish the sentence. "Really wanting to join the debate team." She said as she bit her lips seeing Amber's eyes widen.

"What the hell are you alright?" Amber asked as Ariel sighed and nodded her head "I'm fine, I just want to.. debate and stuff" She said a little shaky but believable.

The girls went back to work as Ariel knew she wanted to master this cheer for when Luke went to the game to take pictures; he'd be impressed. Amber gave her a gentle smile and said "Well your going to kick ass at the debate team! I'll go watch you." She said cheerfully. Amber was always sweet and gentle, she wouldn't hurt a fly.

Ariel smiled and hugged her as she bit her lips. She thought 'I guess the debate team is getting a new member'

"No time for hugging ladies." Ariana said as she walked up to the two. Even though Ariana was bestfriend's with them; she was always jealous that Ariel got to be cheer captain for having no actual cheerleading talent. She knew that if Ariel wasn't on the team, didn't have that kind of money she would bully her all day for her size; and Amber would be right next to her doing it.

Ariana fixed her brown curly locks and chuckled saying "Get to work or else your not in the homecoming cheer bitches."

Amber and Ariel shook their heads as they quickly went to work. Ariel was determined to work hard to impress Luke. She knew he would be there to take more pictures for the school's yearbook.

"Guys." Ashton said as he was pacing in Luke's living room. Ashton is the oldest of the band. He got held back and was a senior at the school. "We are getting really big on YouTube." He said referring to the fact they had just reached 100k subscribers on YouTube.
"your point being?" Calum replied with a smirk. Calum was the 2nd oldest of the group. Also a senior.
"I think it's time we start advertising at the school." Ashton said as he raised an eyebrow. Luke's heart began to race.
"What no." Luke said as he was shy to the people at school. He liked his internet life his secret second life.
"Yes." Michael said as he got up. Michael was the third oldest, but also in 11th grade. He just wasn't in advanced classes like the others.

"What the hell did you guys do?" Luke asked raising an eyebrow as they were already all up but Luke; surrounding him.
"We got ourself a gig in town and all the kids at school will be there and we will become huge hits and the awesome shit like that." Michael said teasing a little, but with high hopes.

"When, what, how, why?!?!" Luke quickly said as he became nervous.

"When- October 18th meaning we have exactly a month to prepare this." Calum said with a smirk.

"And I already know how we will publish this and get the word out" Michael said as he looked at Luke like this was depending on Luke. "Which is?" Luke said raising an eyebrow.

"Who runs the weekly school gossip blog?" Michael asked as he already knew Luke knew the answer.

"Amber Bonila" Luke said with a gulp as he knew all about that blog. Everyone would read it ; but him. it had all the gossip of couples, who was doing what, he knew that it would be the only way to get them to be noticed by the school.

"Your gonna get the girl to like you." Ashton said, Luke already could tell that this was all planned.

Luke's eyes widened as he bit his lips. Ariel was on his mind.
