Hira

Luca and I finally reached my house, he seemed slightly in awe as we stood in front of the gate.

"It was nice seeing you" I said.

He smiled. "Yeah it was nice seeing you too" Luca replied, smiling bashfully.

"Alright, well I'll see you at school then" I said, moving to put the code in for the gate. 

"Ah wait" he called out.

I turned and looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Hm?".

"Um do you want to maybe go out sometime? Like on a d-date?" Luca asked, his eyes flickering away from me.

Ba-dump.

"Oh well, um" I said, flustered. 

This is so sudden. 

He looked back up at me expectantly, like a puppy.

How...amusing. 

"Sure" I said, smiling a bit.

His eyes widened and he broke out into a smile. "Great! Does this Saturday work?" Luca asked. 

I nodded, in response. 

"Awesome, I'll text you the details later" he said, his voice eager. 

"Okay" I said.

We stared at each other for bit in silence before his phone buzzed.

"Oh shit, Alec's asking when I'm coming home," he said, taking out his phone, "I guess I should getting going. Bye Hira!".

"Bye" I said. Luca smiled and turned and rushed off. 

I watched him rush off before putting in the pin for the gate and going in. 

"I wonder how this will play out" I mumbled to myself as I walked up the steps.

Friday rolled around quickly and once again I was going to be spending it at a party.

Aaron: I'm outside 

I walked out the house and down to main gate and sure enough Aaron was there.

He was standing outside of his car, leaning against while he was looking down at his phone. 

"Hey" I said, as I walked up to him.

Aaron looked at me and smiled. 

"Ready to go?" he asked, stuffing his phone into his pocket. 

I nodded and we both got into his car. 

"You look good" Aaron said, as we started driving. 

"You too" I replied. 

I mean to be fair, you always look good.

Aaron has always been someone that no matter what he wears he still looks good. Of course, I would never tell him that, otherwise his ego would become more inflated than it already is. 

"You seem like you don't want to go" he said. 

"I mean, I don't. I'd rather be at home" I replied. 

He chuckled softly. "Yet you still agreed to go with me".

"If I decided not to go I would never hear the end of it from Quinn and Gia" I said, looking out the window.

I felt him softly taking a hold of my hand and swivelled my head to look at him. 

He kept his eyes on the rode, "We could skip the party and do something else if you want" he said.
