Luke || Tori

                                    

                                          
the English class was going by slow. your teacher sure knew how to get everyone wanting to sleep. you hated school and you even had the discussion with your mother about dropping out and joining the circus.
                          
her words were simple: "tori you are only 12. I am not letting you drop out of school to join no circus." she was so simple with her answer. a regular no would have worked.
                          
a slight tapping on your shoulder turned your attention away from the teacher. you looked behind you to see Calum holding a piece of paper in his hands. he pointed to Luke who was placed behind him as he cheekily smiled at you and waved.
                          
you laughed to yourself thinking how much of a nerd he was. you took the note from Calum before turning back around. Mr. Twister was still talking about Romeo and Joliet.
                          
you quickly unfolded the paper as his sloppy handwriting was in full view.
                          
hey, 
tori my bestie. what up? notes I know are so out there but we talked to much at the start of the year that he had to separate us. but you know that ain't going to stop me. hahaha.
                          
you shook your head at his lameness. he was beyond creative but this was surely his low point. and by that smile you saw earlier you knew he was proud of this. you grabbed your pencil and decided to write him back.
                          
Luke, 
you are an idiot. but I'm okay with that. talking to me after class seems Normal. but note passing is clearly so old. some days, no scratch that most days, I worry about you.
                          
you couldn't help but smile as you handed the note back to Calum to pass to Luke. Calum leaned closer to you "when am I always you and Luke's slave?" you shrugged your shoulders as you laughed a little.
                          
you looked to Luke as he had his hand placed over his heart with a shocked expression on his face. you couldn't help but laugh.
                          
"tori?" you turned to see Mr. twister starring at you. his annoyed expression was clear and you quickly apologized.
                          
you turned back around the face the board as you heard, most likely, Calum and Luke laughing at you. soon enough the note was passed back to you.
                          
Tori,
ha, you got in trouble and I am not an idiot. maybe I like writing. ever thought of that one?
                          
you couldn't help but quietly giggle before replying to him.
                          
Luke, 
how in the world did we become best friends?
                          
handing Calum the note he shook his head at you before handing it to Luke. by his expression he was sure enjoying the note passing, you swore on most days he was younger than he really was. the bell soon rings dismissing everyone. you hurried out of class ignoring Mr. Twister's harsh glare.
                          
you felt an arm being placed across your shoulders as you entered the hallway. "well tori to answer the question of how you got to be friends with the amazing Luke Hemmings, is you kept stalking me when we were 6 and I finally gave into you wanting me."
                          
"haha very funny. but I do remember at the age of 6 you falling off your bike after I walked by." you laughed causing Luke to smile.
                          
"hey I swear to you a bee was attacking me." you both laughed causing Calum to groan in annoyance.
                          
"can you guys just date already, god," he mumbled walking away from you.
                          
you and Luke both stopped in your tracks and looked to each other. you passed in your head the idea of dating Luke. but on cue, you both muttered a 'nah' before walking again.
