Our Duet ; l.h.

▪1▪ Have You Forgotten?

|||Luke|||

The line is killing me. Its just a regular Tuesday, what's up with all these people? Is Beyonce performing near here or what?

I groaned in frustration. "Can this day get any worse?"

"Sure it would. It's only 10 in the morning." Michael said, bringing my annoyance to a higher level.

"I should've brought Calum with me. He doesn't answer my questions that I ask for myself." I huffed.

"Fine, fine. I'll stop." He raised his hands in surrender.

I sighed as I was running a hand through my hair. The heat is making me sweaty. The air condition got jammed and warm temperature were surrounding McDonalds. Most of the people here are about 30 or so that's why nobody really knows us here.

"Wait here. I'll check the car." I said to Michael and left, not hearing him nagging.

I went outside and it got a little cool. I was about to run to my car when suddenly something or someone bumped into me, resulting to me falling on my back.

"Hey! Can't you see I'm holding a stack of books?" I looked up and saw a girl about my age, her hair dyed in blonde streaks. She was smaller than me and her dark-brown eyes seem to...glisten. She knelt and picked up the books that fell on the ground.

"I'm so sorry. Let me help you with that." I picked up some books and stood up as she done the same.

"Wait a minute, have we...met before?" She asked as she took the books I picked up.

"I don't remember meeting a girl whose addicted to comic books and classic novels." I shrugged as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm not addicted to these. I'm on duty. As a freakin' librarian assistant. But really, I think we've met before. What's your name?" She asked as she studied me.

"I'm Luke."

She was in deep thought at what I said.

"The only Luke I know is..." She stopped for awhile. "Luke...Hemmings."

"Yep, the guy who plays guitar in a dorky band." I laughed softly. I never really see our band as a famous one. But I think she's heard of me.

"I-I'm Lucy. The girl from music class? A friend of Calum's. W-we were paired up to sing as a duet b-before." She stuttered as she shifted, avoiding eye contact.

Then it hit me.

It's Lucy Wright. I remember Calum saying she has a huge a crush on me, but I ignore it most of the time.

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Oh, yeah. Lucy Wright from year 10." She answered with a nod.

"You've...changed."

"Used to seeing a geek with glasses? I wear contacts now. And I dyed my hair blonde and left some of my natural, as you can see." She said. "You've changed as well. Never recognized you without the Justin Bieber hair."

"Shut up." I groaned as she laughed weakly.

"I better get going, the weight of these books are killing me." She said frustrated.

"Well let me get the half of it." I took the half and she let me. We were about to walk to where she was going until Michael showed up in the entrance door of McDonald's, carrying 3 bags of food and he was all...sweaty.

"LUUUKKKKEEE!!!" he yelled as he charged to my direction.

I am so dead.

"Run!" I shouted and gripped onto Lucy's hand so that she could catch up.l
