He laughs so cutely that I want to pinch/punch his face out of his adorableness. "Well, are you?"

"Hmmm.." I look up at the ceiling pretending to think. "Maybe...who knows?"

"Oh my god you guys, stop flirting and get a room or something!" Calum wrinkles his nose.

I roll my eyes. I have a bad habit of rolling my eyes every time I get annoyed. "We weren't 'flirting'." I say, doing air quotes.

"Yeah yeah..." he shrugs and it takes every ounce of my self control to not spill my drink on his head, take a picture of him, and post it on twitter. And instagram. And maybe even facebook.

Then I hear the snapping of cameras and flashes coming from everywhere.

"Shit there are paps here." Ashton mumbles as he stands up quickly and we all follow his actions.

"here, put this on." Luke says as he takes his black jacket off leaving him in his black Blink-182 shirt and tosses it to me. I put it on and put the hood over my head. It smells of mint and a hint of cologne and well.. Luke.

'what are you boys doing here in America?'

'Luke is it true that you are here to finish high school?'

'Michael, what color are you planning to dye your hair with next?'

'Who are those people with you?'

A series of random questions is thrown to them.

"Come on Ad" Luke grabs my hand and pulls me out of the cafe. "Can you run fast?"

"Um.. Kinda? Well not that fast but I don't really -ah!" he pulls me and I stumble after him, running as fast as I can.

The noise coming from the paparazzi lessens and we turn into an empty dark alley.

"Woah, do you guys d-do this often?" Naty asks, out of breath.

"Well, no.. but we don't want you guys to get sucked into this. You know how this industry works with all the rumors." Calum answers.

We sit for a few more minutes making sure that the paps are gone.

I put the hood of luke's jacket down. All the boys are on their phones doing who knows what. I look at Naty who is grinning like an idiot.

'what?' I mouth to her. She points down at my hand which was still in luke's. I shake my head and blush.

I slowly release my hand from luke's to take his jacket off. "Here. Thanks," I smile.

"Sure." he smiles, takes it and ties it around his waist.

"Well, now that they're gone, I guess we can take you guys home now."

"Yep! Definitely don't plan spending the night in a dark alley," Ashton says.

"See ya later Ad! Hope you find your phone!" Naty says as she stands up and leaves the cafeteria to head to her class early to finish some seat work or something.

"Thanks," I reply. I've been panicking all morning looking for my phone, but I just don't know where I put it.

As I stand to throw my leftovers, I see Luke waving me over from the other side of the room and I raise my eyebrow and walk over to him.

"Adten, I-"

"Stop calling me that! Geez, Robert!" I smirk.

"Hey!" he says as his lips form a pout.

I shrug and smile innocently. "You started it,"

"Luke, gotta go. See you later man." The muscular blonde who I recognize as Chase, the captain of the football team, says to Luke.

"Yeah, bye dude." he says he pats Chase's back and Chase jogs towards the exit.

Luke turns his attention back at me and says, "So Adte--" I glare at him and he continues. "Addie, you left this in my car last night." he hands me my phone.

"Oh my god I have looking everywhere of this! Thank you" I say with relief and but my phone in the back pocket of my jeans.

"No problem," he smiles. "Well have to go to, I have class to get to."

"Uh huh" I smile. "bye Lukey!" he smiles and leaves.

My phone vibrates and I pull it out to see a message.

Luke is awesome Hemmings:
* See you later Adten :) *

I smile, shaking my head as I type back a reply.

*Seriously? 'Luke is awesome Hemmings'?*

Luke is awesome Hemmings:
*Only because it's true and you know it ;)*

I roll my eyes and reply with a quick 'In your dreams' and shove the phone back in my pocket.

I walk to my next class, World History which is one of my favorite classes, so I should be fine for the rest of the day.

When I get near the classroom, I see Cassandra leaning against the door. "Excuse me,"

"Allison, right?" she flashes a fake smile.

"Actually, it's Ad--"

"Allison, I wanted to talk to you for a minute." she says and I raise my eyebrows. What the actual fudge.

"Um... okay?" I say.

"So you've been hanging out with Luke, huh?" I crease my brows. Where is she heading with this? I nod my head slowly.

"Well, I just want to remind you that he is way out of your limit, so don't get any ideas."

My eyes widen. What the heck is she talking about? I don't even like him. Well, I do, but not in that way. At least I think not. "But I don't ev-" she raises her hand up.

"Just keep your distance, alright Ally?"

"But we're just-" she raises her hand up again and shakes her head.

"You guys will never work out, alright? He's too good for you, so just don't, or you'll regret it."

Things to do list:
1. Punch the black haired stereotype in front of me.
2. Slap the streotype's face a bajillion times.

Before I can say anything, she speaks up again. "Nice talking to you." she fakes another smile and leaves.

My life is so full of cliche things.

But what does she mean by 'you'll regret it'?. I have no idea, but I do not want to find out.
