Luke's POV

I just stood there with this stupid look on my face. Everyone was staring at me. Well, not everyone because there was like a trillion people there but it was still embarrassing. Emma stopped dancing with her date. "What the hell just happened?" She asked, walking towards me.

"I don't know. One minute we were kissing and the next she was gone."

"Did you brush your teeth?"

"Yes!"

"Really?"

"YES!"

"Whatever, just go after her!"

Call me crazy but I decided to take Emma's advice. I walked out into the hallway and saw a bunch of other hallways and doors. Ugh, how am I going to find her now? I exasperatedly leaned against the wall (Which looked more like a giant window.) and that's when I saw Michelle sitting outside of the building. I rushed out to talk to her.

"Hello? Mom, I need you to pick me up." She said into her cell phone.

"Leaving this soon? This thing doesn't end for another 2 hours."

"Let me call you back."

I sat down next to her on the front steps of the building.

"Why did you kiss me?" She asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over us.

"Why did you run away?

Another awkward silence came over us. I looked her in the eyes and gently laid my hand over hers. I was surprised to see that she didn't even flinch. For some reason, she looked even more beautiful than she did at the beginning of this thing. She still had cake on her dress, her hair was still wet from the lemonade and most of he makeup was scrubbed off.

"I ran away because...I can't go out with you..."

"Why not? I like you, you like me so what's the problem?"

"I never said I like you."

"It seemed like it when we were dancing and practically making out!"

"We did not make out, we kissed! There's a difference!"

"Either way, you wouldn't have kissed back if you didn't like me!"

"I barely know you."

"So? I barely know half the girls I date but I still like them!"

We both laughed when I said that. It started out with just a little giggle but soon enough we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe.

"That's why I can't date you."

"What?"

"You just screw around with all these girl's feelings. You can't commit to anything!"

"You know what I think? I think this isn't about me, its about you and your trust issues which is evidenced by the way you push everyone who wants to be you fried away!"

I immediately regretted what I just said. A hurt gasp escaped from her lips. "Hey, I'm sorry..." I tried to apologize. I saw tears well up in her eyes and she ran away. I know what I said was mean but I didn't think it was that bad! "Wait up, I'm sorry!" I called. She stopped running and turned around.

"Why would you say that to me?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry!"

She sighed and sat down on a bench. We weren't far from our original spot at the front of the building.

"I guess I was just angry at you for confronting me. But I shouldn't have been because its true. I'm a total manwhore and its really messed up."

"You were right about me pushing people away. I'm...distant. Its all I've ever known."

"What do you mean?"

"I never knew my dad. I've talked to him like twice in my entire life. My mom is there...just not for me. My stepdad is even worse. My siblings are really the only people I can trust. Everyone else just hurts me."

"I would never hurt you."

"Promise?"

"Pinky promise!"

I held out my pinky. She hesitated before doing the same thing. I honestly can't believe I just said that to her. The craziest part is that I actually meant it. This wasn't player Luke just trying to win a bet. No, this was some kind of alien Luke. All I know is that I would chose to be with this girl over every girl in the world. But she isn't exactly mine yet.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked.

"Sure, what is it?"

"I think your smile is the prettiest thing in the whole world."

"Can I tell you something?"

I nodded my head. Was she going to tell me off?

"This smile only exists when I'm with you."

I smiled. I knew this was going to be a great night. I shakily put my arm around her. She smiled again an rested her head on my shoulder.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course I will."

I leaned in and kissed her gently. Could this night get any better? Out of nowhere, Emma and her date popped up from behind some bushes."Yay!" Emma squealed. The guy with her just stood there with a dopey look on his face. He didn't seem too bright. Michelle and I just laughed and went inside with Emma and that guy.

Michelle's POV

I hate myself for agreeing to go out with Luke. Yeah I like him and yeah he promised not to hurt me but I promised myself I wouldn't fall for him! He may have promised but I know its just a matter of time before he dumps me for some other girl. But I know that all good things have to end even if the end is tragic so maybe, just maybe, the risk is worth it? I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. It was a text from Luke.

I'm home alone, want 2 come over?;)

And do what?:p

Watch Disney movies and have a Nerf gun war! Why what were you thinking?

Lol be there in a sec.

I went into my younger sibling's rooms to tell them I was leaving. I didn't bother telling my mom or my stepdad, Jimmy. I knew they wouldn't care where I went.

When I reached Luke's apartment he was nowhere to be found. "Luke?" I called. "In here babe!" He called back. His voice was coming from behind a curtain. I parted the curtains and found an entire movie theater. "You have a movie theater in your apartment?" I gasped. He stood up, making himself visible in the dark room. "We prefer to call it the screening room. Sounds fancier." He laughed. He took me by the hand and lead me into the room. There were tons of blankets and fluffy pillows covering the entire front row of seats. He handed me a bag of popcorn and held up a stack of Disney movies. "If you come cuddle you can pick!" He winked.

I ended up choosing Peter Pan. when the movie ended Luke took my hand. "Nerf gun war?" He asked. "Nerf gun war!" I confirmed. "Follow me!" He called happily as we both sprinted up the stairs. He lead me to his brother's room. He went in the closet and started raiding the toy chest inside. "Choose your weapon." He said in a deep voice, imitating the voice on Mortal Kombat. I laughed and grabbed a big sniper rifle with an entire belt of dart ammunition.

Luke tucked and rolled, narrowly missing my dart. "Just face it, you'll never be able to catch me!" He called, speeding down the stairs. "We'll see about that, freckles!" I said. This had been going on for 10 minutes and I have to say, it was exhausting! I ran after him. I only had 3 darts left so I decided to wait until I was sure of my shot. I saw him go into the kitchen. He was probably waiting at the door so he could catch me by surprise. I cautiously kicked the door open and as expected, he shot. I swerved to the right. His dart missed me by an inch. His last dart. He dove for it, trying to retrieve it but I grabbed it first. I backed him into the corner with my gun pointed at his head. My face mocked seriousness. "I'm sorry it had to end like this." I said, pulling the trigger.

A look of fake pain came across his face. I dropped to my knees laughing. We were both rolling around the kitchen floor laughing to the point of tears. "Um, am I interrupting?" Came a voice. We stopped laughing and looked to see who it was. It was Emma, Luke's older sister. "Oh hey Ems." Luke said casually. I waved awkwardly. She seemed nice but I'm a bit shy around strangers. 'Is Michelle sleeping over?" She asked. Luke looked at me. "Wanna?" He asked. "Sure." I answered, shrugging my shoulders.
