We're Just
Friends
Prologue
"I swear to God if you don't wake up right now,
Chloe-"
"I'm getting up, okay?" I rolled out of bed. I
didn't want to hear Luke's threat. He was standing next
to my door with his drawstring bag, already dressed for school.
That boy gets up so early and he's all ready for school
before he comes over to my house to wake me up. How?
I jumped in the shower and it was a struggle not to fall asleep.
I got out and got dressed in a pair of peach colored shorts and a
tangerine tank top that had an open back.
"Show enough skin today? It's the first day of school
not your first day at hooters."
I turned the blow dryer to off and glared at him.
"Let it go." I turned the blow dryer back on. 20
minutes later I was in Luke's car on my way to school.
"Junior year." I mumbled just loud enough for me to
hear myself over the radio.
"Noooooo." Luke smirked, joking.
Luke and I have been friends since we learned how to pee in
toilets. So... a while. And honestly, we were trusted with
everything. He spent the night almost every night. I'm not
going to lie to you and say we never fight, because we do. And
anyone that tells you that they don't fight with their best
friend is lying. It's just impossible, right? Exactly.
We pulled into Luke's parking spot in his overrated car that
apparently boys really like and wish they all had.
I walked across the parking lot to the picnic table where my
female friends were sitting.
"Chlo!" Taylour gave me a huge hug. "I haven't
seen you all summer! Where ya been?"
I avoided admitting the truth, that I sat at home on tumblr and
being a lazy nothing for two months.
I pointed to Luke, who was about 10 paces behind me still.
"We went on a vacay..." I sighed. "To the shed in
my backyard."
Taylour and Poppy exchanged looks. Then I realized what I
said.
"I mean, we made it really cool... we put christmas lights
in it, and soft rugs... and stuff. So yeah, it's
nice."
Taylour didn't look convinced, but she knew me well enough
not to question it anymore.
"Okay.. see you in chem?" She looked at me then Poppy.
I half smiled and they turned and walked away.
I sighed and sat on the picnic table. Luke finally caught up and
sat next to me.
"What'd you tell them?"
"Nothing, I didn't tell them anything."
"Oh..." Luke wasn't done talking, but the 5 minute
bell for class rang through the morning air.
"Come on, we're gonna be late!" He grabbed my arm
but I got up and jogged a few steps toward his car.
"I left a... a bobby pin in your car! I'll see you
later!"
When I got to his car, the whole school yard was deserted.
I sighed and put my back to the car, putting my head in my
hands.
If only the girls knew what really happened this summer.
Okay! So now we're gonna go back in time to the beginning
of Chloe's summer.
The next chapter and the rest of the story will be about last
summer okay?
I don't wanna confuse everyone so just
yeah...
