- Luke -

I had dreams of Ashton. I saw the boy from the halls. I feel like it's him. Something keeps telling me it's him. 

But something keeps telling me that h doesn't want me to know it's him.

Michael, Calum, and I ended up going to the mall. I asked my mum for money and she gave me a lot, considering she planned on taking me to shopping soon, though she was happy that she didn't have to now. I drag her into stores she doesn't like. She's seems to have a deep hatred for my favourite store, Hot Topic.

"What store first?" Michael asked, yawning. It was nine in the morning, meaning we had all day. I was ready.

We've hit every store that we've wanted to besides Hot Topic. I was trying not to spend a lot of money at other stores so I could go crazy here. Luckily, I did not fail at that goal and had plenty for here. 

"My calling." I heard a boy say as he walked into the store. I turned around to be met with the cute kid from the halls. 

"Hey, it's the guy from school!" I said as I turned around. The girl beside him laughed, and I assumed it was his mum. It was pretty cute. He was holding her hand, bags from other stores in his other.

"Hey. total stranger." He greeted. 

"My name is Luke. I told you my name but you won't tell me yours." I said, frowning.

"Awe, sweetie, why won't you tell him your name? He seems like a fine young man." His mum said. I smiled.

"Stranger danger, Mother." He said, pulling his mum inside the store. I walked away from Calum and Michael and followed the boy. I watched him give the bags to his mum, releasing her hand. I walked beside him casually and slipped my hand into his hand that wasn't holding a shirt.

"Nirvana. Nice. That shirt is cute, like you. You should get it." I said. He looked down at our intertwined hands, but didn't say anything. We just continued to shop, both of us showing the other shirts that we thought they would look cute in. 

"I heard New Politics recently, but it seems there's no merch here for them." The boy said. He still hasn't told me his name, but I kept calling him pet names to make up for it. New Politics was the band I introduced Ashton to this morning, and now it was all starting to make sense.

"Ashton?" I said. He turned to me at the mention of his name. 

"It's Luke from Tumblr." I said, seeing if he would know what I was talking about.

"It's Ashton from Tumblr, too."
