Pretty Girls ⇼ Luke Hemmings

She's Kinda Hot.

***LUKE’S POINT OF VIEW***

I couldn’t get out of that restaurant any faster. That dickhead was holding Val’s hand under the table and it was driving me crazy. As soon as I finished eating, I rushed outside and lit up a cigarette the second the door shut behind me. My back found a brick wall and I took in a large breath of smoke, letting it infiltrate my lungs, before blowing it back out. It’d been far too long since I’d had a cigarette and it felt so fucking good to finally cave into the temptation. I stood outside, waiting for the boys to finish so I could drive them home. I knew they were taking their sweet ass time on purpose and that pissed me off to no end.

When the bell finally rang, signaling that someone had left the restaurant, I tore my eyes off the floor and to the doorframe, expecting to see Ashton and Calum, but they were still eating. Instead Mandy, Jeremy, Val, and that other guy walked out laughing. I took another puff and pushed out my chest, trying to seem tougher than I felt.
“Luke,” Mandy sneered and I rolled my eyes.
“Mandy,” I sneered back.
“How’s the coke problem?” She sent me a smirk and Val lightly smacked her arm.
“Does the carpet match the drapes?” I shot.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Mandy’s date stepped in, but she held her hand out.
“Go get the car. We’re fine,” she spoke and the two boys obliged, leaving the three of us alone.

“Are you coming tonight?” I turned my attention to Valerie.
“I thought you quit smoking,” she noted and I flicked the cigarette on the floor, stomping it out and giving her a wink.
“Not what I asked-”
“Coming where?” Mandy interrupted and I let out an angry huff.
“Luke’s band has a show tonight,” Val explained with a small smile that made me feel like she was proud of me. My chest tightened.
“You’re not going, are you?” Her tone was disgusted and I just wanted her to shut up already. Val shrugged, her eyes finding the floor.
“You can come too,” I told Mandy. I didn’t really want her to come, but I felt like if I got her to agree, Val would tag along.
“I don’t think so,” she laughed.

“Come on,” I urged. “Let your hair loose, have a couple drinks. My boys and I will show you both a good time,” Val’s eyes shot up at me with jealousy. Did she think I was flirting with Mandy?
“Maybe. Val and I will talk about it later,” in my experience, maybe typically meant yes.
“We’ll sing that song for you, Val,” I bit my lip, staring at her and she blushed. God, she looked so fucking innocent when she blushed. She opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by a horn honking. Mandy held a finger up to the car, telling them to wait and the pair didn’t budge. Maybe that meant I’d convinced them to come. “Who’s the ball and chain?” I leaned back against the brick wall and Mandy rolled her eyes.
“Rob,” she muttered, crossing her arms.
“You don’t seem so happy about being here with him,” Val narrowed her eyes at me. God, Val, stop thinking I’m flirting with her. I’m doing this to get you to come, not her.
“I’m breaking up with him in-” she paused, checking the time on her phone. “Approximately half an hour,” this news didn’t come as a surprise to Val. Maybe that’s what they talked about when the boys went to the bathroom. I didn’t ask why she was breaking up with him, I didn't care. Maybe if I got Cal or Ash interested in Mandy, Val would start coming around the group more often. My best bet was Cal, seeing as Ash had been going on about Monica Wheeler possibly coming tonight.

Mandy wasn’t anything like Val. Sure, she dressed like her on the weekdays, but I’ve seen Mandy in hardly anything, drunk out of her mind at our parties. I was confident that if they showed up, Mandy was Val’s way back into our group.
“We should go,” Mandy broke me out of my thoughts. “I have a guy to break up with,” she laughed and Val gave her a small, uncomfortable smile. “And Val has a goodnight kiss to initiate,” Val rolled her eyes and Mandy turned on her heels, stalking towards the car.
“Don’t kiss him goodnight,” my voice came out hard, but I didn’t mean for it to. It was more of a plea. An amused smile took over her face and she shrugged.
“Don’t tell me what to do,” she joked before walking to the curb.

That fucking Jeremy guy got out of the car and opened the door for her before they sped off. God, I hope she didn’t kiss him. If she did, maybe she’d feel something she didn’t feel with me. Then I’d lose my shot for sure. I pulled out my phone and texted Lea, telling her of my plan to set up Cal and Mandy. That way, I could be sure Val would be there, without telling anyone that I actually wanted her to be there.

***VALERIE’S POINT OF VIEW***

I was sitting on my bed scrolling through instagram, when Mandy walked into the room. Lea paused her movie, waiting for an explanation as Mandy sat on my bed with me.
“How’d it go?” I asked with a small smile. I didn’t think she should break up with him, but then again, it wasn’t my decision.
“He took it like a champ,” she joked, turning to me. “He only cried for about fifteen minutes,” I raised an eyebrow.
“Who’d you make cry?” Lea asked, grabbing her tea from the microwave and sitting on the other side of me.
“I broke up with Rob,” she shrugged.
“Oh my god!” Lea exclaimed. “Why?”
“He’s too controlling,” she sighed. “I just want to have fun. I want a boyfriend, not a second father,” we shared a small laugh.
“Well…” Lea’s voice trailed off as she smirked. “I wasn’t going to say anything because you were taken, but I totally think you and Calum Hood would be cute together!” Mandy’s face lit up and mine fell. I tried to figure out her end game.

“Really?” She asked, unconsciously twirling her red hair.
“Oh my god, yes! And he’s single,” Lea reached across me and set a hand on top of Mandy’s. Mandy looked at me to judge my reaction, and I just smiled. “You know, I wasn’t going to go but the boys are having a show tonight. We should all go together!” Luke set her up to this, I’m sure of it. I stayed silent, but I was so angry about this whole situation. He was trying to trick me into going, knowing fairly well that I wouldn’t want Mandy to go to the show without me.
“Can we go, Val? Please?” Mandy begged and Lea shot me a smile. I let out a quiet sigh.
“I’d rather not,” I mumbled, picking at the hem of my skirt. What would Luke say to me if we weren’t around other people? How angry would he be about the date?

“Come on!” Mandy whined and Lea lied back on my bed.
“I really don’t want to see Luke,” I wasn’t sure if that was true. I did want to see Luke, I just didn’t want to be alone with him. I was regretting my bold words that I left him with, and I had no idea how he’d take it.
“If you do this for me, I’ll owe you like twenty!” She promised and I couldn’t help but send a glare to Lea, who was laughing.
“And I’ll owe you twenty more,” she added, sitting back up.
“Fine,” I gave in. “But I swear if you leave me alone with him-” I started, but was unable to finish as Mandy collapsed me into a hug.

***LUKE’S POINT OF VIEW***

“Hey Cal,” I called as we pulled up to the house. Ashton had left the car and Calum stared at me, waiting for me to continue as I shut my car off. “What’d you think about that redhead that was sitting with Val?” He raised his eyebrows.
“She’s kinda hot,” he shrugged. “I have a class with her and Val,”
“She’s into you,” I lied. Well, I wasn’t sure if I was lying. Who knows, she could be in love with Calum and I’d never know.
“Val?” He asked, taken aback and I slapped the back of his head.
“No, Mandy. Dumbass,” he nodded slowly. “If she comes to the show tonight, you’ll keep her busy, right?” I prayed that he didn’t see through my excuse for getting Val alone. A wide grin took over his face.
“Definitely,” he nodded. “Thanks man,” he gave my shoulder a slap before exiting the car and I let out a long breath. Now, if Lea does her part, everything will fall into place.

***VALERIE’S POINT OF VIEW***

“I’m not changing!” I argued, crossing my arms over my chest. “I think my outfit is very cute,” Mandy and Lea simultaneously rolled their eyes and turned back to the closets, shifting through the clothes. I lied back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. How do I keep getting tricked into spending time with Luke? My phone went off beside me with a text from Jeremy, telling me that he had a nice time. I smiled and replied that I did too, then threw my phone on the mattress. How can he say that he had a nice time, when he tried to kiss me and I shut the door in his face?
