The Game Show Affect [†] Luke Hemmings

~11~

I pulled a cropped hoodie over my sports bra, before sticking my phone in my pants and starting down the stairs. Luke stood there, looking very unusual. Not that I'm a sporty person, but I am adventurous. Luke, on the other hand, assumes that we are just going to do physical activity. His long legs were clad in joggers and a white Addidas T-shirt. Of course, being punk rock and all, he wore a flannel jacket, since it was raining out.

"This better be worth getting up and ready by eight o'clock." He pouted, leading me out to the car. I shot Josh a glare before we climbed in the back.

"Of course it is," I said in a duh tone, "you get to spend even more time with me."

"Right, how could I pass that up for sleeping?" He said sarcastically, pulling out his phone. "So, I am required to ask, if you end up planning the vest thing-a-ma-jiggy, which seems highly unlikely at this ungodly hour, what would be your ideal prize?"

Luke--

He pursed her lips as she seemed to give great thought to what she should do. Her fingers twirled with the strings of her hoodie and she just looked to fucking adorable. It actually hurt.

"I got it!" She pulled me from my thoughts, only to give me more reasons to adore her

We pulled up to a wearhouse-like building. It was rundown, graffiti and posters cluttered the sides. It looked like it once was a Costco, but due to its aging there was no way to tell. A big grin crossed Blake's lips.

"Here we are!" She cheered, "My brother and I came to Adelaide last summer and found this place. We're moving here in September."

Shes moving to Australia? Adelaide isn't too far away to maintain a relationship. It got me rather giddy.

"See you two at one o'clock." Her escort, Joshua, said; trying to get us out of his car.

Blake gave him a cold look before sliding out, I thanked him. I'm not even going to ask what that was about; Blake is too confusing. I followed her in the building.

"WILL? WILL? WILL? WILLIAM. WILLIAM IM HERE! DID YOU MISS ME? YOU MISSED ME DIDN'T YOU?" Blake screeched, causing me to wince. Almost instantly a young guy emerged from a door, he was tall, fit and had shaggy blonde hair.

"Blake, always good to see you. Is Kian here?" Will asked, giving Blake a quick hug.

Blake giggled, shaking her head as she stepped closer to me, "No, he's finishing up school. I mean... I am too, but... With tutoring. My asshole friends signed me up for this gameshow thing, with the boys of Five Seconds of Summer. So, here I am, trapped in a small town an hour away from here with annoying fangirls and a few tolerable people." She said playfully. "This is Luke, Luke, this is my brothers friend, Will."

"Hey." I shot my hand out to shake his. I was shocked at how firm his grip was, wondering even more what we were doing here dressed in "management-is-making-us-sport" clothes.

"Well," Will stepped back, crossing his arms, "Welcome to Montgomery Parkour Center."

I looked at Blake; my expression a mixture of shock, fear and amusement. She smirked, dropping into a lunge-type-pose and putting her fists in the air.

She shouted, "Parkour!" Before running off.

I looked at Will and he shrugged, "Once a Walker, always a Walker."

By lunch time, Blake and I had learnt how to do a wall flip, table slides, hand springs and we played a bit of leap frog. Will was getting annoyed with us, because he takes the sport very seriously, whereas Blake and I were constantly laughing.

"Okay, last hour you're free to do whatever. I don't care anymore. You signed the safety forms, so you can't sue me if you break your neck." Will huffed, "Go to town."

Blake smiled, "Love you, Will!" She helped me to my feet, and lead me to a pit full of foam cubes. She turned to face me before falling into the cubes. I hopped into the pit, just as she hid under the mass of cubes.

"Blake?" I called out, being various of where I stepped. I'd be furious with myself if I hurt her tiny body with my larger mass.

Hands wrapped around my ankle, causing me to let out a girly shriek. I fell backwards as Blake shot back up, laughing her ass off. After regaining my balance, I ran towards her, swinging her over my shoulder.

"I grew up under the heavy influence of dudes," I could hear the smirk in Blake's voice, "I very well know how to get out of this."

"Oh yeah?" I tested and within a millisecond her fingers were assaulting my sides.
