Living With The Shaytards

Chapter 3: Selfies

After school, I came back with Luke. Mom looked over and said, "Hi, Jewel! How was... Oh! Hi Luke. I didn't see you there."

"Hi Mrs. Butler." Luke smiled very big.

"Your friend is very polite, Jewel." Mom smiled at us.

"Thanks," I muttered.

Awkward, I thought. We were just standing there for a few minutes.

Mom asked, "Want anything ot eat?"

"No thanks," I said quickly.

I grabbed Luke's arm and we went to my room.

"I met Colette!!!! Can I take a selfie with her and the kids and Shay? Where's Shay?"

"No."

"Yes!"

Luke opened the door with his phone on the other hand and ran out.

"No!!" I ran after him.

Too late.

"Can I take a picture with you?" Luke asked.

"Yes you can!"

Snap.

"Where are you going to upload that?"

"Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook."

I pulled Luke aside. "Don't! People will ask you where'd you find the Shaytards and all these other questions and they might have a clue that I'm in their family too!!!!"

Luke sighed. "Relax, girl. I won't tell nothing."

"Fine I trust you."

"Great!" Luke smiled and was tapping on his phone.

"Let's do homework." I sighed.

"Hold on. Where's Gavin? Avia? Emmi? Brock?"

Luke gasped.

"Daxton?!?!"

Luke ran back to my mom asking where my siblings are.

Before my mom can answer, I said to him, "They're upstairs doing homework. Now let's not bother them and let's do OUR homework."

"Brock and Daxton don't have homework."

Mom yelled, "Brock! Come here please!"

Brock ran over with his toy car in his left hand.

"Hey Brock. Nice to meet you. I'm Jewel's best friend and my name is Luke Ames."

They shook hands.

"Can I take a picture with you?"

Brock nodded shyly.

Snap.

"Great! Thank you!"

Brock ran away saying, "Vroom vroom!"

"Okay! You got your picture! Lets go do homework!" I said impatiently.

"Why don't you do you homework and I take pictures with your sisters and brothers and have a nice conversation with your mom?"

"Nice conversation with my.."

"Go, go."

He pushed me away gently and started talking to my mom.

Omg. That's so mean. Whatever. I won't let him copy my answers.

I walked into my room. Played some music. Pompeii by Bastille. Best song ever!

1 and a half hour later...

Finished my homework. And Luke is not back. I opened my door and went to the living room. I saw Luke and my mom talking. They were folding laundry together. O.o

"So are do you have a girlfriend?" My mom asked curiously.

"Oh. I don't. I'm not interested in girls."

Mom was surprised.

"Oh so your.."

"Yeah." Luke said nodding.

Yup he likes men.

To break the awkward silence, I walked in the room.

"Luke, I'm done homework."

"I lost track of time!" Luke looked at his watch. "I'm sorry I have to do homework!" He waved bye to my mom. She waved back. Then he did homework and I helped him on the hard questions.

1 hour later...

"Kids!! I'm hooommmmmeeee!!"

Luke looked at me wide eyed.

"Shay?" He whispered.

"Uh huh."

Luke ran out my door.I rolled my eyes.

There he goes, I thought.

I had to go after him.

I ran behind him. Luke is just full of energy.

"H-hi Sh-sh-sh-" He stuttered.

"Shay." I helped him.

Dad just got back from his run.

"Luke!"

"Yes that's me!" Luke looked like a kid who's about to open his present.

"Can I have a picture? I already had selfies had your family."


"Okay," Dad simply said.

Snap.

"Sorry I'm sweaty. Just went out for a jog."

"That's okay." Luke smiled very big.

Then Luke's phone was ringing. His ringtone was John Newton's Love Me Again song.

I need to know now. Know now. Can you love me again?

Then he picked it up.

"Hello?"

...

"Mom?"

...

"I'm at Jewel's place."

...

"Yeah."

...

"Yes I finished my homework."

...

"Okay okay. Take a chill pill."

I don't think he should have said that to his mom, I thought.

Then I heard his mom yelling on the phone.

I was right.

"Okay! I'm sorry."

...

"Yes, I'm coming home."

...

"Yeah. Bye, ma."

Then he hanged up.

"I have to go." Luke ran to my room and ran out with his backpack.

"Thanks for letting me stay, Jewel. Nice meeting you guys." Luke nodded at Dad and Mom.

Luke left.

Dad asked, "Is he your boyfriend? He's a great guy."

"No. Again, he's my best friend. And he's interested in men."

"Oh." Dad nodded. "I'm going to take a shower. I feel like a sweaty pig."

Mom chuckled.

Dad kissed our foreheads and ran upstairs.

Mom said smiling, "Time to make dinner."

After dinner I checked my Instagram where I post random things. I saw Luke uploaded pictures of him with Dad, Mom, Daxton, Brock, Emmi, Avia, and Gavin. I read the comments.

Mrfriedchickenhead: That's so fake.

JenniferG33: He probably photoshopped.
