Chapter 7

"Get in!" Luke said, grabbing Mel's hand and dragging her into the kitchen of the Snyder Farm.

"Okay, okay, calm down, geez! What's the big emergency that you suddenly need my fashion advice for. I've tried to give it to you a dozen times before and you always rejected me."

Luke tried to look upset at her accusation, but he hadn't been able to get the smile of his face ever since Noah had called him and he couldn't seem to do it now either.

"I have a date," he said while opening the door to the stairs and quickly dashing up them.

When he reached his room, he plopped down on the bed and waited for the outburst from Mel he was sure would come.

When she reached his room not 20 seconds after him, she stood with her hands on her hips and a tiny smile formed on her lips.

"Repeat that for me would you?"

"I have a date," Luke said again, this time with a much bigger smile then before.

"With…..?" Mel asked, already knowing the answer.

"With Noah," Luke said, falling back on the bed and staring up at the ceiling.

Mel sat down next to him and leaned on her side so she could still see his face.

"And how exactly did that happen?"

"He called," Luke said sitting up again.

"He called you? I thought you guys hadn't exchanged numbers?"

"We didn't. He looked up my number in the school records. Isn't that the sweetest thing?"

"Yeah, that or really creepy," Mel teased.

"You think so?" Luke suddenly doubted.

"Of course not Luke, I was only kidding. I think it's sweet that he went through enough trouble to look up your number. It obviously means he is serious about wanting to get to know you better."

"Yeah, I guess it does. I'm just nervous, that's all!" Luke said with determination.

Getting up from the bed, he walked over to his closet and pulled it open. Seeing the mess inside, Mel laughed.

"I guess you tried this clothing thing before I got here?"

"Yeah, didn't go very well," Luke shrugged with a smile.

"I can see that. Okay, where to start… right, where is he taking you?"

"We're going out to dinner, but I have no idea where. All Noah told me was to dress nice, but nothing too fancy"

When he saw the look on her face, Luke smiled.

"Not much to go on is there?"

"Not really but we'll make it work"

Getting up, she went over to his closet and started dividing his clothes into 3 different piles.

"Yes, No and Maybe?" Luke asked with a smile.

Simply nodding, Mel continued with the task at hand. Every now and then she'd look at Luke and he'd simply smile.

Truth was, he didn't really need her fashion advice, he had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to wear. However, he couldn't guarantee not going crazy in the two hours he still had to wait for Noah so he had called her over with an excuse.

Suddenly, she turned back to him with her hands on her hips.

"Where is that set you bought recently? You know, the one that makes you look so hot?"

"You mean this set?" Luke smiled, pointing to his chair.

"Yes! Wait a minute… you already had that picked out for tonight didn't you?"

Luke nodded and quickly ducked away when Mel grabbed his pillow and threw it at his head.

"Luke Snyder, you can be a real jerk sometimes," she said, but by the smile on her face, Luke knew she was joking.

"I love you too," he smiled.
