"Your smile says it all."

Luke's P.O.V

"Hey, has anyone heard from Ellie today?" Michael asked Calum & I as we were standing by his locker in the morning. Usually she'd be here by now but the bell was about to ring & I hadn't seen her yet.

"Maybe she's running late." I suggested.

"Yea. I'll see if she comes to class late then or something" Calum told us since he had first hour with her. "I'll let you guys know."

"Yea cause I was texting her last night & she didn't mention feeling sick or anything so I don't know where she is."

"God, you like her too much Luke." Michael laughed at me.

"What?"

"It's so obvious that you're into her. You're so concerned just because she's five minutes late. I was just asking if anyone had heard from her & now you're all worried she's sick."

"Stop. I mean, just, never mind."

"But do you like her, right?" Calum asked me. "You're into her, yea?"

"I guess it's pretty obvious so I don't even have to answer that." I hadn't exactly told the lads how I felt about Ellie but they knew me well enough & I talk about her all of the time so I bet it was very obvious.

"Your smile says it all." Michael punched my arm.

& with the bell, we all went off to class.

Calum-

nah, she isn't here.

Luke-

okay, i'll text her to see if she's alright.

Luke-

hey ellie! are you not coming to school today? is everything okay?

By lunch, Ellie still had not replied to me. Calum had texted her as well but neither of us had a reply.

"She's probably sleeping." Michael spoke up as he took a sip of his soda. "If I had a day at home, I'd be asleep."

"True." I nodded. I shouldn't worry about it. I bet Ellie caught something over night or maybe she was too tired & so her parents let her take the day off to sleep. We didn't have any assignments due or tests today so it was an easy day to miss.

I kind of had wished she would have sent me a text just to let me know though. I would have let her know if I was missing a day, I usually let the lads know.

But then again, if she ever did miss a day of school before, she never had any friends to tell so it probably didn't cross her mind to let me know.

Later in the day, right before my last class, I saw I had a Facebook message from Trevor.

Trevor-

hey luke! i would have texted you but i don't have your number. but have you talked to ellie at all today??? just wondering.

Luke-

hi. but no. she didn't come to school & she hasn't answered mine or calum's texts.

Trevor-

Trevor-

Luke-
