Summer's p.o.v

I slowly drag myself to my locker. I slowly gather my things. I slowly put everything in my back pack.

Bella walked up to my locker, waiting for me as I so very slowly pack my stuff.

"Summer, I would like to get to of the school today please." She said tapping her foot impatiently.

"Bella, I'm trying to stall! Plus I could be giving Luke more time to flirt with all of his girlfriends." I giggled at my own joke.

"Summer, you agreed to driving him home yourself!"

"Ugh, I guess you're right."

I slammed my locker shut and walked to Luke's locker across the hall. He was flirting with Christina. Christina's a senior, platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, fake tan, stuffed bra, padded butt. All fake! I guess Luke likes that though seeing that half the girls he flirts with are fake.

I stand there and tap my foot. Neither of the two acknowledged that Bella and I were standing there. Luke was giving one of his boring stories about whatever the frack, it's the only way he knows how to flirt with any girl. I clear my throat to get his attention, he still continues to ramble on about whatever.

"ehem, Luke, ehem." I Said a Little louder.

His smile dropped when he looked my way. Nice to see you too.

"Let's go craphead." I Said then walked off with Bella. Luke trailing behind us.

We walk down about a bazillion stairs and through a lot of doors. We find my car and Bella and I start piling in. I got the car started and everything and saw that we were missing Luke. I groan. I unbuckle myself and get out of the car to find him flirting with yet another senior, this time Gabi.

The gorgeous girl looked my way and smiles. I smile back. I like Gabi. Luke turns around and looks me up and down, once he locks eyes with me he glared. What is his problem.

"Luke, sorry to interrupt but um, we have things to do and you can't stay on task so either get in the car or I'll leave you here!" I slightly yelled. He rolled his eyes.

"Chillax Sunny! I've got things to catch up on, it won't take long!"

"Uh News Flash! It's 2018 we have these thingy's called phones where you can talk to people on. It's amazing."

"Summer! Holy crap chill, I'll get in the car jeez!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes.

I stomped back towards my opened drivers door. I sit down and slam the door shut and buckle my seatbelt and off we went. I made sure to make my turns extra sharp to throw Luke around in the back since he pissed me off.

"It's not even that big of a deal!" He said after the tenth time being thrown around.

"Luke, we have to be places at a certain time and talking or chilling with people isn't going to get us those places!"

My dad always taught me to be places early because being on time was late. My heart fell at the thought of my dad, I started driving like a normal person. Bella looked at me sympathetically knowing what went through my head when I had said that. Luke noticed my sudden change, I can feel his eyes on me. I know he's not gonna ask any questions though, he doesn't know anything about my home situation.

We pull into my driveway. My dad's American flag blowing in the wind. My heart hurts. I turn off the car. Bella and Luke got out and grabbed theres stuff. Bella walked over to the drivers side of the car, she opened my door and placed her hand on my arm. It's been two months, I still can't wrap my head around it.

"Come on Summer." She said softly, I nodded my head. I slowly unbuckled myself and slowly got out of the car. I grabbed my stuff with shaky hands.

I walk up to the front porch of my house and put the code in to open my door.

"Your house is sick bro, what do your parents do?" Luke asked. I opened my door and sighed. "My mom is a fashion designer, she works with companies like VS and has her own brand 'Es Rich' named after me. My dad, my dad was in the military." I set my stuff down on the ground in my living room. And plop on the couch.

I hear Duke running down the hall. He jumped up on Luke and licked his face. I giggled.

"Hello Duke! Come here!" I said in my 'pet voice'. Duke trotted over to me and gave me kisses too. I love my dog.

Duke is a Chocolate lab. Perfect dog in my opinion. He is three years old and very well tempered and behaved.

"I'm gonna go upstairs and take a nap, wake me up when it's almost time to go!" Bella said walking towards the middle of the house. I nodded.

I almost drifted off too until.

"Sunny, I'm bored!" Like whined.

"Well I don't know what to do." I told him. He groaned. Not gonna lie that was hot, I smirked. "What?" He asked. "Nothing." My smirk turned into a grin.

"You're smiling about something."

"I am but I'm just not telling you." I shrugged my shoulders. "How about you flirt with one of your ho ho ho's and I can take a nice nap!"

"I want you to entertain me." He smirked. I raised my eyebrows at him.

I jumped up from the couch and walked towards the couch Luke was sitting on. I held out my hand.

"What?" He asked.

"Give me your hand dumb dumb."

His hand shot out and he smirked. I dragged him downstairs into our arcade room. His face dropped. Hey, I like my arcade room, how rude!

"I wasn't expecting this kind of entertainment." He said.

"What other sources of entertainment are there?"

He spins me and lightly pushes me against the wall, one hand behind my head, the other by his side. His face inches apart from mine.

"The one where we make out." His hand creeped up my side, resting on my hip. He pulled me close. I dipped.

"I'm, I think I'll pass!" I said running over to one of the arcade games and starting it up.

Boy oh boy did I hate that. I shuddered at the thought of it.

**********

It was time to go wake Bella up to go to our game. I ran upstairs while Luke sat on the couch in the basement. I hate this house, well I hate the fact that it's so big!

I walked up a flight of stairs form the basement after I weaved my way through the rooms. I then went down the hall and turned into our entry way up one of the stairs and down the hall again to my room at the very end of the hall. Feels like I've ran a marathon.

I opened my door and see Duke and Bella cuddling. This dog, it's so cute! I take my phone and take pictures.

"Awe, that's so cute!" Luke said. I jumped.

"Holy crap I thought you downstairs!"

"I'm a sneaky boy." He said winking.

I walk over to my bed and poke Bella. She woke up instantly and smiled at me. She rose up out of bed and walked over to the mirror to fix herself. She clapped her hands once.

"Let's Go!" Bella Said.

We all walked downstairs and grabbed our stuff. Bella and I walked out of the door. Luke ran past us.

"I call shotgun!" He said. I rolled my eyes.

I put the code in for my house to lock it. We pile our stuff on one side of the car then piled into the car. Here we go! Basketball season is my favorite!

Luke was on his phone taking selfies or whatever. I roll my eyes. We were pulling out of my driveway when my phone buzzed. I left it. Luke picked it up from the cup holder and looked at it. Hey! Privacy?

"Hey it's from me!" He said. "That's a present for later, don't text and drive Sunny!"

We stopped at a light and my phone buzzes again. Luke grabbed it before I can.

"It's from Garrett, who's Garrett?" He asked.

"He's a friend, what did he say." I asked

"I got this for you Sunny." He started typing at my phone.

"You better not say anything bad!"

"Relax, I won't." I groan.

I pull into the school and try to grab for my phone but Luke pulled away from me. Okay, fine. I get out of the car and grab my stuff. Luke still sitting in the car, I grab his stuff too. I put his stuff on one shoulder and I almost fell. What does he keep in here? I feel Luke take if from me.

"Thanks Sunny." He said handing my phone back, I didn't bother to look at it. I walk into the school after Bella. Luke is now the least of my worries.

I meet up with the rest of the girls and we stretch for the game. I'm so excited! After we were done stretching we sat in the cheerleaders lounge talking. Some talking about the players, annoying. Some talking about how much homework they have and others talking about how excited they are about the game.

Once it was time we all gathered ourselves and went to the gym to line up. The buzzer goes off signaling the start of the game.

We cheer, the ball gets passed a round, the guys get thrown around. Like any basketball game.

I turned to talk to one of the girls.

"Watch out!" She said.

I turn my face in time before I got slammed to the ground. The Varsity player placed his hands on my waist to prevent my from hitting the ground and to catch himself. We steadied ourselves. It was Ryan.

Ryan, he's super nice and quiet. He's also super cute. He has slightly tanned skin, brown hair, dark brown eyes. He has really nice lips too, they're the perfect shade of pink.

He smiled down at me, I smile back. He pulls away and stands where the ref tells him to. My heart flutters. He's just so cute. I keep my eyes on him for the rest of the game.

"Ooo, Summer." Bella said dragging out the end of my name. I feel my cheeks get hot. "Shut up!" I said playfully.

**********

The game ended and we lost. I was packing up my things while the coach talked to the boys.

"Summer!" Luke Said. I turned. "What's up." I asked. "Can I stay the night at your house? My mom is still in New York and I still don't have a car." He said. Oh man. I contemplated for a bit, I couldn't just leave him stranded here. "Yeah, fine." I said.

We walk out of the gym together in silence. I was the last cheerleader left. I though of Ryan, I smiled. He's so cute. I hear Luke chuckle.

"What?" I asked.

"You're smiling to yourself."

"Yeah...and?"

"It's cute."

"You're flirting isn't gonna work on me, sorry." He groans and rolls his eyes.

"Where's Bella?"

"She got another ride home." I told him.

We walked up some steps and out some doors. This school is so small yet so big. I sigh once we reach outside. We walk back to the car in silence.

"I'm going to change when we get back to the car." I told Luke once I approached the car.

"Okay!" He said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm not completely stripping everything off you dumby, I have stuff on under my uniform." He chuckled.

I set my stuff down in the back seat and pulled off my skirt and I put my skirt in the bag. I pull out some comfortable sweats and after I put them on I sigh, it felt nice. Then I took my shell off leaving my liner on and slipped a t-shirt on. I carefully take my bow out because it always gets tangled when I yank it out. Luke typing away at his phone. I slam the door shut making Luke look up. I get in the drivers seat and we started to drive in silence.

"Where are your parents?" Luke asked.

"My mom is in New York working on her fashion line." I said. I left out my dad. Luke didn't seem to really notice or think to much about it, I'm thankful for that. "What's your mom doing in New York?" I asked him.

"She's visiting a friend for a few weeks."

"Weeks? Does that mean I'm gonna have to drive you around the next few weeks?" I asked.

"No, I have friends. Just not a lot on the basketball team that are willing to drive me around."

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm, I don't know, scary to them. I guess I order them around and if it's not done my way I get mad. I'm only close to a few of them."

"Understandable." He turns and glares at me.

It was awkward not gonna lie driving alone with him. I turn on the radio. Unforgettable came on, it's my favorite song. I turn it up to tune out my singing. I've been told I have a great voice but I don't sing around people. I sing when I'm alone, or when I think I'm alone or when I think people can't hear me.

I pull into my driveway and turn off the car. I get out and grab my stuff. Luke has fallen asleep. I grab his stuff and I wobble skeins a bit from how heavy it is. I go to his side of the car to wake him up. I open the door and tap his shoulder. He didn't wake up. I shake him. Still nothing. I shake him harder, he jumped awake. He looked at me and closed his eyes and smiled. He rubbed his eyes and I got out of his way as he got out. Man, he's a deep sleeper.

"When you sing softly it's like a lullaby, it put me to sleep." He said. My heart fell, he heard. I nodded my head pressing my lips together. He grabbed his stuff and walked to the front door. "Uhh, I'm so tired." Same, I thought to myself.

I open the door and walked in with Luke following behind.

"I'll show you to your room." I said walking up the left stairs.

Luke and I walk to the end of the hall. His room is on the left and my room is next to his.

"Here you go." I said opening the door for him.

"Thanks, good night Sunny." He said, tired.

"Good Night Luke. Also, I'm gonna cook breakfast tomorrow and sleep tight."

I walk over to my room. I throw my stuff on the ground. I take off my top and liner leaving on my sports bra. I take off both my sweats and Nike's and put my sweats back on. I dove for my bed. Ahhh, my bed always feels nicer after game days.

Duke trots in and gets in bed with me. I kiss my silky dog goodnight and fall into darkness.

**********

End.
