“Hey…Would you like to go get lunch?” she said walking up to the other, it took her a lot to try and get out of the dark cloud she’s been in since she lost her brother. “My treat.”

[lukawvlsh]

“Me?" Luka asked, surprised by her offer. The last time Diana had asked him to hang out outside of the house was months ago, before Dante’s death, to be exact. “Oh, sure, we can do that,” he nodded, giving her a small smile.

ivyxclarke:

Luka’s words truly hurt her feelings. Only because they were coming from him- she could care less about most of Houghton’s opinion. Of course the girl would do her best to try and hide it, after all acting was her best talent, right? Or maybe she could play it dramatique, but one was certain; it was going to be extra. “ I don’t owe you anything, Luka. So excuse me if I made a mistake, excuse me for being human, Luka. “ the redhead repeated, looking away for a second, just for the effect. “ Look. “ Ivy whispered, her eyes filling with tears. They were forced a bit, but there was definitely some truth in them. “ He- he did try to get it on with me. I thought it was funny, but I refused okay? I talked about it… with some extra details.. at a party. People wanted me to sell him out, they encouraged me. An asshole like that didn’t have his place at Houghton, and stuff. “ 

Luka didn’t appreciate the fact that she snapped at him like that, because the boy didn’t feel like he was in the wrong here. Ivy had told a terrible lie, and it didn’t seem like she felt any remorse about it, except for herself. A frown etched into his features when she pulled out the waterworks. Luka was close friends with Ivy, and they were both in drama club, so he could tell she wasn’t being entirely genuine. “Two wrongs don’t make it right, Ivy. He was definitely wrong for hitting on you and making you feel uncomfortable, and he deserved to lose his job over that, for sure, but because of your ‘joke’, he’s in jail for a crime he didn’t even commit.” Their teacher was a pig, that went without saying, but Ivy really went too far by lying to the police. “This is not right, Ivy, and you know it. You’re better than this,” he spoke at a softer tone, taking her hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze. “You need to fix your ‘mistake’.”

austinwalkcr:

To say that Austin was proud of himself was an understatement. “Ready,” he agreed with a single nod. With a smug look on his face, he came around the piano and took his spot next to Luka – fully ready to cooperate. “I was busy dreaming ‘bout boys.“ The heavy eye contact was probably too much too soon, but Austin did promise he would try harder to actually care. He still thought the idea of glee was pretty lame, but spending time alone with Luka made him hate the idea a little less. He bumped Luka with elbow and winked as he sung the next line. ”I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday.“ Truthfully, Austin didn’t even like to sing. In fact, he binged watched a slew of “HowTo” videos on YouTube before auditioning. Even though he knew rule about whoever auditioned got in, he didn’t want to completely suck. There was nothing extraordinary about his voice; hence, the theatricality he often relied on. Their duet was a nice change of pace compared to Austin is used to, but he still found it difficult to pay attention. "How do you feel about synth instead of the piano?” He asked, cutting Luka off yet again. “I don’t want our performance to turn into a total snoozefest.”

Luka was too focused on the sheet music to notice the fact that Austin was intently staring at him, until the boy poked his elbow into his side. A hot flush rose to his cheeks as he met the other gaze, though he immediately looked away again. He knew Austin was trying to make him feel uncomfortable on purpose, and he was determined to not give him that satisfaction. However, it did cause him to miss his next lines, but he was quick to regroup. “I'm sorry that I missed your party. I wish I had a better excuse like, I had to trash a hotel lobby, but I was busy thinking about boys." Despite Luka’s attempt at a compromise, it didn’t take long before Austin became distracted again and cut him off. A frown etched into Luka’s features when the other complained about the piano. “I don’t know, Austin. How do you feel about finishing a song for once?” Luka inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying his hardest to stay calm and keep his patience, but he was very much over it. “Honestly, why are you being so difficult? We already changed the song and you still don’t want to sing,” he pointed out. “Look, I know you don’t care about glee club and that you only joined to make fun of us. To make fun of me, and since you’ve obviously succeeded in doing that already, how about we just end it right here and tell the teacher we couldn’t make it work?”

kennedyward:

Things at home had finally died down and Kennedy was actually starting to feel a little better about being outed. Or, rather she’d accepted it and was choosing to move on because it wasn’t like she could change it now. Still, Kennedy had moments where her parents were just a little too in her face about her life and she needed an escape. It’d been a hot minute since she’d gone for a run, so Kens laced up her nikes and stared off through the neighborhood. Running past the Arroyo house had not been part of her route, but Kennedy spotted a police car in their driveway and was too curious to not check it out. Just as she made it to their house, Kennedy noticed Luka and made her way over. Shaking her head, Kennedy furrowed her brow. “Not a clue.“ Her heart thudded in her ears, though it was less from her run and more from the sinking feeling in her stomach that this meant something terrible was about to happen. “I didn’t think they were still looking into Dante’s death but maybe…” Her voice trailed off and she chewed on her lower lip. “This can’t be good. Right?” Not that she expected a real answer from Cooper’s younger brother, but if this meant what Kennedy thought it mean, then shit was about to get real. Again. 

Though he didn’t know much about her, Luka obviously knew who Kennedy was, and being the around the popular girl who was Dante’s best friend caused him to feel even more stressed. “Why would they look into his death? It was an accident, right?” he questioned, knitting his brows together in confusion. It was ruled a car accident, at least that’s what was written in the newspaper, so why would they continue to investigate it? “Oh.. That’s.. that’s so scary,” he added softly, biting his teeth down on his bottom lip as he glanced at the car. The thought that someone might have done something to hurt Dante on purpose made him shiver. No, he wasn’t a good person, but no one deserved that kind of fate. Not even Dante Arroyo.

landonwtf:

landon was coming back from the soccer field. it was way to cold to play and he didn’t know why him and his friends hadn’t realized that until they made it there and played a little while. he had his ball tucked under his arm and his hands buried in the pockets of his jacket. he stopped as he noticed the police outside of dante’s house or what was his house when he was alive and furrowed his eyebrows. as much as he wanted to know what was going on, he could hear anything or see anything that would tell him what was happening. his head snapped in the direction of luka and he shook his head in response, “no.” he replied, his voice cracking from lack of use. “have you heard anything?”

“No, no, no!”  Luka shook his head firmly. “I wasn’t spying or eavesdropping or anything, if that’s what you were thinking! I literally just walked by and didn’t even notice it at first!”  Trying to explain himself to Landon was only making him feel even more flustered. “I have no idea what’s going on, but...”  He bit his teeth down on his lower lip as he glanced over at the car. “...I don’t know, but it’s probably not a good thing when the police gets involved?”

cooperxwalsh:

Cooper was sure he set some sort of record when it came to being grounded. First the Winter Formal, then his nudes, and finally, his lucky streak of sneaking out had caught up to him. His idea of spending winter break on lock down wasn’t on his agenda. Walking Lizzie with his younger brother was probably the last thing he wanted to be doing, but he took the opportunity if that meant no more counting the dots on his ceiling. Still, he was able to keep himself occupied on his phone during their walk with the family dog. A sense of dread washed over him when Lizzie and Luka came to an abrupt halt.  Seeing the police care alone was enough to make his palms sweaty despite the snow sticking to the ground. Realizing the patrol car was outside the Arroyo residence made him feel sick. “Maybe it’s, like, a grief check up? Is that a thing?”

Luka was less than thrilled when their parents allowed Cooper to join him for a walk, because the last thing he wanted to listen to was more complaints about Brooks and Ivy. Luckily, the older boy was too focused on his phone to bring the subject up again, or maybe he realized that Luka was only going to give the kind of advice that was honest, but not necessarily something he wanted to hear. “I don’t... I dont think so...” he replied, his voice slightly quivering. The boy wasn’t sure why, but seeing that police car parked in front of their house was giving him bad vibes. “ Do you.. Do you think it could be about... D-Dante?” His heartbeat was thumping loudly, and his palms were starting to sweat, despite the cold wind. Luka realized he was acting strange, freaking out over someone he supposedly barely knew. Cooper had no idea about what happened between him and Dante, and he preferred to keep it that way, but it was hard to keep his emotions under control. “They... They must have found something out about him, right? Something... bad.”

persephonebeaumont:

Persephone had decided to go out for a quick run around the neighbourhood, needing to get out of the house for a bit. Her parents were having another argument about various things, most specifically about how her mum hated Boston and wanted to move back home to England. When the topic went to her, however, she realised it wasn’t something worth hearing, they were stuck in Boston for a while. She was jogging in the neighbourhood when she saw the police car, stopping to stare. Seeing Luka, the redhead shook her head. “No..I haven’t got a clue.”

“Is that normal? I mean, do the cops do that as an after care thing?” Luka asked, though he highly doubted the redhead would know whether it was a regular thing or not. Seeing that police car parked in the driveway was freaking him out, for reasons he didn’t quite understand. It wasn’t like he had done anything illegal, so why did this affect him so much? “Um, either way, it’s probably nothing important.” He didn’t know who he was trying to reassure: Sephy or himself. “Sorry, uh, I just remembered I need to go home.”

cooper: jesus just punch me if i'm ever this annoying. cheer, complain, naked, and cheesy duets. ring any bells?

cooper: yes, jfc finally you understand

cooper: this is some grade a garbage advice. 0/10.

luka: no, i don't? you're the one who's always complaining.

luka: it doesn't. i really have no idea who you're talking about.

luka: okay, well your other options are telling brooks how you feel or staying pressed about it until they break up. is that better advice?

[lukawvlsh]

 After an exhausting afternoon of practicing songs with Austin, Luka was in dire need of some fresh air, hence why he decided to take the family dog Lizzie out for a small walk around the neighborhood. He found himself barely paying attention to his surroundings because as usual, his thoughts were elsewhere, though Luka was quick to find out that the pavement was pretty slippery. He tried to be careful as he stepped through the snow, though an excited Lizzie seemed to have other plans. “Hey, calm down, girl,” he frowned as she tugged firmly on the leash. It was then that he noticed he was standing in front of a familiar house —Dante’s house. It was almost as if the universe was playing a sick joke on him. Then he noticed something else — a police car, parked right in front of the garage, and the fact that someone was standing right beside him, apparently also checking it out. “Um...” Luka started, hesitantly. “Do you know why the cops are visiting the Arroyo’s?”

austinwalkcr:

Austin couldn’t help but to roll his eyes when Luka took the sheet music from his hands. He reached for his phone to turn it off as requested, but was immediately distracted by a notification, causing him to miss his cue once again. “Sorry, sorry. I’ll put it away,” he insisted as he rose from the bench. He walked over to his bag and pretended to dig around before pulling out his own sheet music. “I think that song is just too confusing. But luckily, I have a better one,” he beamed as if he wasn’t waiting for the perfect opportunity for this. “It’s timeless, a classic, and everyone can relate to it.” He watched Luka’s face as he slid his sheet music for Charli XCX’s ‘Boys’ over Luka’s and hoped he would at least look at it before rejecting him again. “And before you say no — just think — I would totally try harder if I were interested in the song, you know? We wouldn’t even have to rehearse that long. I already have glitter canons and dancers on standby.”

 It wasn't hard to tell that annoyance was building up behind Luka's blue eyes when Austin once again missed his cue because he was too distracted by his phone. It was hard to stay patient when someone wasn't even willing to put in the effort of trying, so Luka was ready to throw in the towel and give up. An exasperated sigh escaped from his mouth when the boy got up to put his phone away, as Luka was positive the other would find something else to be distracted about. “What’s so confusing about it?” He furrowed his brows at his weak excuse. “I already told you we’re not changing it.” Of course, once again Austin didn’t listen to him and replaced his sheet music with his own, and Luka couldn’t stop himself from cringing with his song choice. “No,” he tried to interject before Austin could even finish pleading his case, though it didn’t stop the boy from continuing to talk. It was obvious that the cheerleader wasn’t willing to cooperate until he got what he wanted, but there was no way Luka was going to perform this song with Austin in front of everyone. Then again, maybe he could compromise a little and at least give it a try. Maybe if he played along for now, Austin would actually get excited about singing. While his voice was average at best, Luka couldn’t deny that he was one of the best dancers in the club, and they needed to have him around for competitions. “Okay, we can try it,” Luka nodded, a small smile forming on his lips when he saw the look of surprise on Austin’s face. “Are you ready?” His eyes locked on the sheet music as his fingers moved over the keys, playing the first notes of the song. “I was busy thinking about boys...”

kingcameronpls:

cameron thought that if anyone would listen to him, it’d be one of his friends but he knew how bad it looked and so he wouldn’t be all that surprised if he actually didn’t want to hear what he had to say. he inhaled a deep breath as he watch the male come out of his house and head to his car. he could feel the tension rise between them once luka was in the vehicle. he knew he messed up but he didn’t want any of his friends to look at him differently. “hey.” he breathed out, tapping his thumb nervously against the steering wheel. “not awful. just, it’s been really quiet and i needed to get out of the house for a little while.” he rubbed his free hand on his pant let in attempt to get rid of the sweat forming in his palm. “but how’ve you been?” he asked, glancing over at him as he pulled out of his driveway.

It was hard to look at Cameron the same way after his secret was revealed. Brooks and his brother being involved in something like that didn’t surprise anyone, but Cameron King? Luka didn’t want to judge him so hastily, but he couldn’t deny being a bit grossed out. Then again, there was also the possibility that they all those teachers had taken advantage of Cam, so he knew it wasn’t fair of him to think so badly of his friend without even knowing all the details. Besides, who was he to judge anyone after what he had done? “Quiet? Oh, that sounds good. At least your parents aren’t yelling at you anymore,” Luka replied, fidgeting with the strings on his hoodie. “Um, I’m okay. It was kind of awkward at home after Coop’s thing, but I guess it’s normal-ish now for the most part.”
