Four Years Later...

"Crap, we are going to be late if we don't go now!" I grab the car keys.

"Just wait until I'm done, you big turd," my younger sister screeches.

"I'm leaving. Byeeeeee, and you can walk to school," I say to scare her.

As soon as I say that, she runs down the stairs in our apartment.

"Oi, bitch, get back here!"

So, we had a race down to the parked car, and guess who won... Definitely not me, but I could

have if I wasn't so nice to my younger sister.

"Hurry up, brooooo," she yells in my direction. I unlocked the car so she could get in, but she didn't. What a little turd...

Finally, I'm at the car, and, mind you, it's a pretty far walk.

We live in a tall apartment on the twelfth floor, so you know that's a pretty tall building. But it's easy to get down with the stairs or the elevator.

So, the car is parked in the basement, but we are okay with walking the distance from our apartment to the basement.

"Let's go, Elora!" I screech back.

"Okay, big turd nugget," Elora cracked up in laughter, so I join in.

It's about a twenty-minute drive to Elora's school and my school is thirty minutes away but because I always drop Elora off. It's only fifteen minutes from her school.

************

Elora has been dropped off. Now, time for me to drive myself to school. I am getting closer to my school, and I see him right there.

I put my window down to scream "Luke, hello!"

"G'DAY, mate." He laughs and then smiles at me.

"Aye, mate, want a lift?" I ask him.

"But we are not that far from the school, Tobias. You know that, right?" He jokingly pokes me as he is doing his seatbelt up, and, gosh, he's so heckin' cute when he smiles and laughs. I have always wanted to know how he feels about me. Man, I know he could never like, someone like me.

I mean, ever since that day, Luke has been there for me, and I have been there for him, too.

One day I should ask him, but not yet, or any time soon.

I finally realise that I stopped driving because Luke was tapping me and asking a lot of questions, and I only stared at him.

I turn away, and he grabs my hand, then kisses it, and then he speaks in a soft voice, "Use this

when you're sad."

"W-w-what was that?" Now I am blushing really badly that I look like a tomato.

He just smiles...

**************

"Mister Matthews, wake up right now!" the old teacher yelled from the front of the classroom, but how could she see me?! I'm up the back, she is right up at the front, and lots of people are practically asleep with how slowly she speaks.

"I'm awake, Miss," I say in an angry tone.

"Get out!" the old lady screamed.

"Kay," I say as I'm walking out the door. I really still can't believe what happened in the car before with Luke; then again he has been acting differently lately or the last few years, he has been doing certain things which make me question him a lot, but, then again, he has never had a girlfriend or boyfriend.

I hope he's GAY (like really heckin' GAY) or at least bisexual (that would just as good).

Then the teacher bursts out of the classroom when I am starting to think about it too much, but thank Greg she came out when she did. I was so tempted to walk off and go home, but, nope, I stayed outside.

"Why were you trying to sleep in my class, Mister? Do you think you are special or something?"

she asks in a rude tone.

"I'm tired. That's all, Miss." I say in the politest voice I could.

**Ringgggggg**

Thank goodness the bell saved me. First, she dismissed the class. After they were all gone,

then she let me go.

There he is, standing there looking so perfect. Now, I'm running to him so he doesn't have to wait there any longer in the cold.

I get to him in under a minute. Then, Luke grabs my hand and tells me he's very cold... So, I

unlock the car door, and we jump in and turn the heater on.

Wait... My sister is catching the bus home today, so I don't have to pick her up... Yay! I can spend time alone with him!

Luke grabs my hand again, turns to me, and asks, "Are you doing anything this afternoon,

Tobi?"

"N-no, I'm not doing anything," I say really quickly to hide my fully blushed face.

But, nope, Luke cups my face and then boops my nose.

"Want to come to mine then?"

Damn that cute smile he always does. Crap I'm somehow going even redder than before.

I think

he realises that I was blushing out of embarrassment, so he lets go of my hand. But when he does, I grab his hand and hug him as tightly as I can.

****************

We enjoy some Netflix at his house (They're watching horror movies). Gotta love some of that good old Netflix. But this time is different because we are really close while watching the movie. Not only that, but he was also hugging me when he got scared or surprised.

Heck, I thought that I was the one who would have done that. Nope, I was wrong. He laid his head on my chest when the "scary" parts would come on. I really didn't care if Luke did it,

though. I mean, he is my best friend after all...
