I Hate You//Luke Hemmings

Chapter Two

Julia and I were at my house, getting ready for a party at Josh's. Josh was known for having lame parties, but honestly we had nothing better to do.

I straighten my wavy dirty blonde hair and put on my makeup. Weightless by All Time Low is playing, yass that's my favorite song.

"Which one?" Julia asks, holding up two dresses, probably both short and tight, but I'm too busy with myself to look.

"Hmm I like the red one" I say.

"Neither of them are red, Hallie!" She says "God, are you even looking?"

"Yes!" I lie "and I think you should wear a red one instead of one of those.

"Nice try" She huffs "I'm wearing the blue one"

She goes into my bathroom to change. I continue to apply mascara when my phone rings.

Luke

"What the fuck do you want?" I say casually into the phone.

"You're hot and I love you" Luke slurs into the phone.

"Oh my gosh Luke, it's not even 10 and your already wasted" I snicker.

"Shut up, Come over here. I love you" He slurs again.

"I'm coming to the party soon, Hemmings. But there is no way in hell I'm talking to you."

"But.. I love you" He says pathetically and I can practically see his pout through the phone.

"No you don't, idiot. You hate me" I snap "And I hate you"

He starts to say something else but I hang up.

Julia comes out of the bathroom.

"What was that?"

"Luke is drunk already" I roll my eyes.

"Go figure" She smirks.

"Get dressed lets go" She adds to me.

We get out of Julia's red Toyota looking fresh af.

I toss my hair over my shoulder and walk into the house. Almost immediately I spot Luke, slumped against a wall, a girl is talking to him but he's obviously ignoring her. I roll my eyes and walk towards the kitchen but he sees me and lurches towards me.

"Hal!" He shouts

"Ugh, what do you want?" I say.

"I love you"

"Omg , you're still doing that? How many drinks have you had?"

"A couple" He giggles

yes. he giggled.

"Seriously, go away, Luke" I say distractedly, looking around. Julia is long gone but I'm hoping to see Ashton or Michael. They'd help get Luke away.

Just then, Luke roughly pins me to the wall, pressing his lips against mine. I gasp and push him away but he's too strong.

Then, He pulls away. I angrily push my hair out of my eyes and glare at him, then I see he didn't pull away himself. Another boy was holding him back.

Luke shook him off quickly and swung a clumsy punch which the other guy easily dodged. Luke, then decided it wasn't worth it and staggered away, throwing me a hurt look.

I looked at the boy, I had never seen him before. He had messy dark brown hair and a cute puppy face. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a gray beanie, and a gray and black flannel over a nirvana shirt. His style reminded me a lot of Luke's.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asks with a concerned tone.

"Yeah, just my idiot ex, well not ex exactly.." I respond.

He nods and glances where Luke went, then looks back at me

"I'm Calum, Calum Hood" He smiles

"I'm Hallie Knight" I grin back, not the usual way of greeting I do at parties, but something about Calum feels different.

He rushes over to a cooler and pulls out two beers and jogs back. He offers one to me, which I take.

"I don't think that I've ever seen you around. are you new?" I ask

"Yeah, I just moved, but Josh is a family friend so I came here" He shrugged

We talk a bit more, before Ashton comes up to me, I couldn't tell if he was drunk or not until he began to talk.

"Heyyyy Hallll dance with meeee" He slurs

I laugh and wave goodbye to Calum and let Ash lead me on to the dance floor.

We dance a bit until he twirls me around, seems to find that hilarious, and falls to the floor laughing.

I'm so done with drunk boys.

I leave Ashton to his hysterics and go outside to get some fresh air. The backyard is empty except for Calum, sitting on the playset swing outside. I walk over to him and sit on the swing next to him.

"Hey Calum" I mutter.

"What's up?" He says

"I hate parties, I hate Luke, I hate Ashton, I hate everything"

"Woah there" He laughs.

"It's true" I smirk and swing really high, then let go. Calum laughs, then does the same thing. We lie on the grass, looking at the sky.

"I like you a lot, Hallie" He says, breaking the silence.

"I like you a lot too, Cal--can I call you that?"

"Definitely" He says chuckling.

"Listen, so I know we just met but I'd like to get to know you better, do you want to hang out later?"

"Yeah, that would be fun.. when?"

"Maybe.. tomorrow?" He asks hopefully

"Wow, eager" I laugh and he smirks at me. I take his beanie off his head and put it on mine. He smiles.

"You look way better than me" He says

"Nah, you looked pretty dang good in it" I say "But it's mine now"

"Good" He grins and puts his arm around me tentatively. I let him.

We sit there for a while, until we hear the sound of the screen door being roughly slammed open and a dark figure walking towards us
