Chapter 1.
THREE MONTHS EARLIER.

i) We were going to a party tonight. It would probably be the last big one this summer, so obviously we had to go shopping, at least that’s what Reilly told us as she dragged us off to the mall. Payge and I didn’t plan on buying anything, but Reilly wanted us to try things on with her anyways.

We were in our fourth store of the day, and Payge and I were done trying things on. “Are you almost ready in there?” Payge called to Reilly. “Almost, I just have one last thing!” Payge and I exchanged a look. I shrugged my shoulders and decided to change the topic.

Payge and I weren’t really friends at the beginning of the summer, she was more of Reilly’s friend, but with countless trips to the mall like this one we became close pretty quickly. “Are a lot of people going tonight?” I asked Payge. “I don’t know… I mean it’s Tabor we’re talking about, he’d invite the entire school if he could.” I laughed, she was right. Tabor had a surprising amount of friends considering he only moved here in March. He’s surprisingly social…probably knows the entire school by now, and they all know him. There was no telling who he would invite to his end-of-the-summer-party.

“Oh! I almost forgot, have you met that new kid who moved in to town around the end of school?” Payge asked me. “No…I remember people talking about him though. Must’ve been a sucky summer. He didn’t know anyone, right?” “Don’t think so. But Tabor was telling me about him, I guess his family’s property backs up to the lake in the woods behind Tabor’s house so they hung out a couple times.” She explained. “What’s his name?” I asked. “Um, I think it was Luke or something. Tabor said he’s nice enough, not a freak or anything.” We laughed. “Hmm, I haven’t met anyone named Luke lately.”

I thought about it for a second. The only Luke I ever knew wasn’t a Luke, but a Lukas. He was my neighbor when I was little. We were inseparable and we did everything together; then Reilly moved in across the street and she did everything with the two of us as well. When we were around eight years old his family moved away, and it become just Reilly and me. I had forgotten about Lukas for a while. I use to think he was special because he got to move and I had to stay in the same place.

“Me either. I wonder what he looks like.” She said, thinking. “And I wonder what he did the days you and Tabor were together.” I joked; Payge and Tabor have been an unofficial thing since early July. “I’m just curious.” She said mock-innocently.

“What do you think!?” Reilly asked eagerly. “So cute.” “Love it.” Payge and I answered. Reilly smiled. “Okay, I’m getting it.” She said. “Well hurry up! We’re going to run out of time to get ready!” Payge ushered. I laughed, we still had a good three hours until the party.
