The Boy Nextdoor

Chapter 3

Skylar's P.O.V

He pulls me into a tight embrace and I could tell he had just showered because he actually smells really good.

He pulls me back to get a look at me.

Luke's P.O.V

Wow it's really her.

I remember the last time I saw her we were both seniors heading off to college. Now I was standing with the girl I had a crush on for so long I don't even remember.

She was also my best friend. The one who helped me through every pointless relationship I ever had. The one who could make me burst into laughter when I was ready to punch a hole in the wall. The only girl that was always really there for me.

We never got pegged as a couple because she was so "boyish". She liked to wear shorts and baggy shirts. Her hair was never long and styled. Always short and thrown back in a baseball cap. That's how I liked her.

She wasn't interested in gossip and makeup. She liked to watch sports and eat.

She was always so easygoing and funny. She always made my day better by just talking to her.

Now her hair was kinda long. I could see some hint of makeup of her face but not a lot. Her face had slimed out and she looked somewhat different but I couldn't figure out why.

She looked grown up. But the thing about her that never changed were her eyes.

They were a different kind of blue, like the sea. With a deep blue rim surrounding it. But they weren't just blue they had specks of green and gold around the pupil, that you could get lost in.

Just like I was now.

"Whats wrong?! Is there something wrong with my face?? Why are you smiling like that?!"

She demands.

"Nothing I just missed you."

Pulling her back into my arms like I did before we left for college.

Skylars P.O.V

I like the way his arms wrap around me. Like I was protected, safe, even.

It was all too familiar.

Karsyn clears her throat. Making it very obvious that she was uncomfortable.

"Hey Karsyn long time no see." Luke states. Him and Karsyn were close to the same height.

He was talking to Karsyn but she was too busy looking for Justin.

"Where's Justin?" She tries to ask causally.

"Probably in the showers. Why?"

"Oh no reason. How have you been superstar?"

I could see a hint of pink creep across her cheeks as Abby walks out of the showers, with just a towel to cover his lower section.

He winks at her and walks back to his stall.

"Been good. Hey would you guys maybe like to hang out tomorrow after practice? You know catch up?" He says. He meets my eyes. I feel my stomach flip.

"Will Abdelkader be there?" Karsyn cuts in before I can get a word out.

"Um sure if you want him to. Come over to my place tomorrow. I will text you my address, here give me your phone and I will put the number in."

I give him my phone number with a promise to text me tomorrow afternoon.

After meeting with the rest of the team, getting a few autographs, and a lot of photos, we were about ready to head out.

"Well it was nice seeing you again! hope to see you tomorrow."

"Bye"

I went in for a hug knowing full well that I was shaking, feeling the sugar still coursing through my veins. Hopefully he didn't notice.

As we were walking out I hear a whistle and a chant start growing as I'm leaving.

"Glenys got a girlfriend, Glenys got a girlfriend..."

"STOP SHE CAN HEAR YOU."

I couldn't help but blush.

Aw do you think Luke is going to tell Skylar how he feels about her? Vote and comment please!
