Annoyed At First Sight

22: Hello, New York City

"What are you doing here?" Luke questioned, and Lucy just went to him and hugged him, which looked difficult because he was stiff, or awkward.

"Actually, I was just planning on following Jo, but then I realized that you were in the band, I wanted to come and see my little brother play," she said. Oh.

Luke raised a brow and looked between Lucy and Jo back and forth. I guess he also doesn't know. She looked at Luke and let out a small noise of realization. "Luke, this is Jo," she said, gesturing to Jo, who waved at Luke. "We met in uni, and we've been together for a few months."

He looked at Jo as if he's scanning him before giving him a nod. "You've already probably know my brother," Jo said, motioning at Nate. "You attend Midlands, right?"

"Yeah," he replied, nodding his head without saying anything else afterwards.

"Wow, it's a small world, isn't it?" Nate said, awkwardly chuckling as he's trying to break the ice.

I chuckled along with him. Jo and Lucy were both back on their seats, silently talking to each other, while Michelle sat behind me. Nate and I just stood there as Luke left.

"C'mon Anna, let's help them," I heard Ashton's voice spoke, shocking me. Turned out he was still here, whoops.

I nod my head at him. "Let's go."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"—crazy, crazy, crazy 'till we see the sun!" Lucy screamed the lyrics out in the passanger seat as Jo was driving.

I'm stuck on the backseat with Luke. We were both forced to come along with them. They wanted to go to New York City, which was not too far from where we live by car.

They invited Nate, Michelle, and even Ashton, but Nate and Michelle were in Michelle's car, while Ashton was with Carson, finishing stuff in the café, and he'll catch up with us.

Carson was invited too, but he said he had plans for today.

Luke seemed to be very annoyed. Lucy has decided to put on One Direction's songs and blast them through the speakers on the car. I, being a directioner as well, silently sang along to, making faces at Luke once in a while.

He's rarely smirked at me now. Now, he'll just have blank expression plastered on his face.

"Please throw me out of the car," I heard him mutter, putting on his earphones to his ears.

"Oh, please, if I could, I would," I replied a bit louder this time. "I just don't want to face the charges, police, your family and etc."

He turned to me and just smirked. Back to the smirk that I haven't seen in a while. "Isn't that too bad?"

I rolled my eyes at him. Few moments later, Jo called me. "Anna! Help me change the song please. Anything other than One Direction. I'm sick of listening to them. I've listened to all of their albums thanks to Luce," he pleaded as Lucy would keep on belting out the lyrics on top of her lungs.

She's fighting with Jo's arm as he tried to change the songs. I looked at Jo helplessly before looking at Luke, who flashed a glare before going back to his poker face.

"I like One Direction, but I feel bad for you, Jo," I told him. "But I can't, her arms are guarding it."

I heard him sighing, and suddenly, the songs actually changed. I recognized the song, but I can't point my finger to it. This song gave me a sense of familiarity.
