"Uh who're you?" I asked, totally confused. "Luke. Luke Hemmings", he replied, with a small grin on his face. "Well, why are you here?" I asked, gesturing to the empty parking lot. "I came to see if you were okay." I smiled. Normally people wouldn't bother to see if I was ever okay, but he did, and I liked that. "So are you?" He asked, waving a hand in front of my face. "Yeah, my dad's just an asshole", I rolled my eyes. "I could kinda tell", he laughed.
