Luke POV

I yawned, I sat up. Bo was shouting at me.

"Can you repeat that?" I yawned.

"Dale wants you to wake up!" Bo hollered.

"Why…?" I muttered as I stretched.

"Because you've slept in!" Bo shouted as he jumped up and down.

I stood up; I scratched my stomach as Bo continued to yell.

"God, Luke put on some pants." Bo snapped.

I yawned as I pulled on a pair of jeans.

"Now come on! We're late!" Bo shouted.

I walked into the kitchen, my dad was staring.

"Hi dad." I yawned as I opened the fridge.

"Luke! Put on a shirt!" I heard Bo holler.

I grabbed the milk carton.

"Luke, you've slept in, why are you late?" My dad asked as he crossed his arms.

I started chugging the milk.

"God! Luke use a glass!" Bo shouted as he wrinkled his nose.

I stopped chugging the milk; I put it back in the fridge.

"Uh, I'm late because I slept in. and I slept in because I'm taking today off." I replied.

"Oh. Well you can't take today off because we have a big project." My dad said slowly.

"What's the project? Cut down one hundred trees." I scoffed.

"Fine. Take the day off, but if you fall behind or if you make me lose a customer..." My dad snapped.

"I won't!" I laughed as I headed into my room.

I threw on a random white tee-shirt with ripped sleeves, a brown leather vest, my gloves, and my favorite bandanna with flames. I was attempting to get my boots on, so I was jumping up and down balancing on one foot.

"You look stupid." Bo remarked.

Finally I got my boots on.

"Yeah, yeah." I laughed; I ruffled his hair as I headed out the door.

I headed down the path, the reason I'm taking the day off is so I can bug Gill. I walked in front of his house, when he finally came outside he gave me a horrified look.

"Hi!" I laughed, I grinned as I waved.

"What…?" He sputtered glaring.

"I'm going to spend the whole day bugging you!"I gushed.

"No way. You must have work or something!" Gill exclaimed he tried to push past me, but I grabbed his wrist.

"Gilly, I would rather hang out with you!" I teased.

Gilly was such a badass nickname, I wish I had such an awesome nickname; Gill is so lucky that I'm so thoughtful.

"I have work!" Gill glared, he ripped his wrist away.

"Uh… you work on Saturday. I thought I was the only person who was stuck with that…" I muttered.

"Oh. I thought today was Friday." Gill remarked crossing his arms.

"Well then! Come on!" I exclaimed, I grabbed his wrist as I started pulling him.

"Wait! If I come with you, you have to stop pulling my wrist!" He shouted.

"Fine…" I grumbled.

I grabbed his hand instead, aren't I clever? I continued to pull him.

"This is basically the same thing!" He whined.

Finally we were at the mine district.

"Oh no! I'm not going in there!" Gill yelped.

"Why? You scared?" I asked.

"n-no." Gill muttered.

"Then come on!" I exclaimed.

Gill nervously followed me into the cave. This was going to be awesome! I loved the mines, I'm sure he would too…. Maybe… the caves were average, of course Gill seemed like he was going to pass out when we were on level two, he almost slipped through the floor.

"Oof!" Gill sputtered as he stumbled.

I caught his elbow, the floor underneath him crumbled.

"Damn…" I cursed.

He would have fallen had I not pulled him. I fell on the ground; he was on top of me.

"Hi there." I joked with a smile.

He just stared at me with those big blue eyes.

"Aren't you going to thank me for saving you?"I teased.

"Uh…" Gill muttered.

I slowly sat up; he was sitting in my lap… I don't think he really minds… then again he's giving me a strange look.

"Uh…" Gill repeated.

"What…?"

He continued to look at me.

"Oh, oops, sorry about uh… pulling you on top of me…" I muttered, he was still in my lap.

Honestly I don't think it's that big of a deal.

"Oh… uh…" Gill coughed.

"Are you blushing?" I laughed, he was beet red.

"N-no…" He sputtered.

I wrapped my arms around his waist as I leaned forward my cheek against his.

"Yes you are!" I laughed, I was grinning.

"N-no!" he sputtered he tried to stand up, but I pulled him down.

"Admit it! And I'll let go!" I exclaimed.

"Fine I am!"

I let him go as he hastily stood up.

"You're hilarious!" I giggled, I mean seriously is it that big of a deal?

"Wh-whatever." He stuttered, he wrapped his arms around himself.

I stood up as I said, "you okay?"

"F-fine…" He whispered, he couldn't look me in the eye.

"Okay!" I gushed.

I know something's wrong, but why bother bugging him about it?

"Luke… you're like in love with Selena, right?" Gill mumbled, he stared at me through his bangs.

"No… Selena is sort of… uh… trashy…" I searched for the right word to describe her.

"Oh… so you don't like her…?" Gill whispered.

"No, I don't like her. That's as silly as you liking Luna!" I remarked crossing my arms.

"Oh…" He whispered as he quickly looked away.

I wonder what his problem is. I wonder who he likes; a guy like him surly likes some girl.

"So who's your secret crush?" I teased.

"N-nobody!" Gill said a little too fast.

Wow. I wonder who she is… or what if it's not a girl it's a guy! I mean Gill isn't gay, I'm not gay… but why do I have feelings for him that seem a little too friendly. Weird, am I hoping that he secretly has a crush on me? How strange…
