Have you ever had that one guy that made you feel perfect? What about the guy the makes you bump into the wall and embarrass yourself because you were staring at him too much to even pay attention to your surroundings? That guy that gives you butterflies every time he talks to you? Yeah, my 'guy' was Michael. I had just found that out.

Yesterday, on Monday, Michael and I were in Home Ec. when we were trying to make cupcakes. We were partners, and Michael was trying to get the cupcake batter into the tins. He was spilling it everywhere.

"Mikey.." I tried to grab the wooden spoon from him. He took it away from me and told me, "I can do it by myself.."

"Michael, you're getting it everywhere!" I laughed and took the spoon out of his hands and started putting the batter in the tins nicely.

"It's no fun if you do it correctly.." He pouted.

"Well they're no good if it all goes on the table," I fought back.

I finished putting the batter into the tins and placed them in the oven. Michael came up right behind me.

"Thanks, Bree," he smiled.

"For what? Doing the cupcakes right?"

"Yeah, that."

"Well you're welcome. It's not like I was going to let you do it yourself the whole time. We are partners in here, after all."

The bell rung, and Mrs. Brown announced, "Everyone clean up! That was the five-minute bell! Your cupcakes will bake, and you can get them at the end of the day!"

Michael grabbed the spoon we had used to dip out the batter and pushed it towards my face. I licked it a few times, and he did the same. We washed it off as well as the bowl and put them back where they belonged.

The real bell rung this time, and Mrs. Brown yelled as people were leaving, "Don't forget your cupcakes at the end of the day! And tomorrow I have a surprise for you!"

"Yay.. A surprise.." Michael whispered sarcastically in my ear.

A few periods later in period seven, gym, Michael told me to sneak into the boy's locker room after everyone was out. He saw me going in, and he told me to stay where no one could see me, especially if Mr. Johns went in there to check. I went into one of the toilet stalls and stayed in there.

*Michael's POV*

After Mr. Johns realized Bree was missing, he asked where she was. I told him, "She just left, an early dismissal."

I winked at Sam, asking her to back me up, "Yeah, I think she had a doctor's appointment."

"Okay," he bought it, and we kept on doing what we had been.

A few minutes later, I thought Bree was probably getting tired of waiting in there. I ran to Mr. Johns and asked, "Hey, can I go to the bathroom?"

"Is it an emergency? There's only ten minutes of class left."

"Yeah, it is. Please."

"Go ahead," I ran into the locker room and found Bree in a stall. We made sure to close the locker room door as we went into the row of the last set of lockers so we would have a heads up if someone was walking in.

As I pulled my shirt off, I heard the door opening slowly, as it does. I mouthed a "sorry" to Bree and put my shirt back on. I told her to hide in the stalls again, and I ran out like I was just coming from the bathroom. It was Luke coming in.

"Bree?" He asked me.

"Yeah.." I bit my lip, "but you ruined it."

"Sorry mate.. I didn't mean to," he apologized.

"It's fine," I walked past him and back out into gym.

*Bree's POV*

"Luke?" I asked as he came towards one of the stalls.

"Yeah?" He asked. Michael must've told him I was in here, so he wasn't shocked.

"Thanks a lot.." I slightly laughed.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Can I tell you something?" I opened the door of the stall and walked out to Luke.

"Sure. Anything."

"I really like Michael," I admitted.

"I bet you do," he laughed.

"No, not like that. In, like, a more-than-friends sort of way."

"You're already more than friends. You're friends with benefits."

"You know what I mean as 'more-than-friends'."

"Really? You do?"

"I think so," I breathed.

"Oh."

"Please don't tell Mikey," I begged.

"Don't worry, babe, I won't," he promised, hugging me. We were like siblings. Luke was probably the closest to me out of the boys, brother-wise. He was always there for me and didn't judge me. He was pretty mad when he found out we're friends with benefits, though. I don't know what he would think if Michael and I actually started dating..

Misleading title, huh? As I put the title on it, I was thinking, "people reading this would probably think Bree is going to have sex with Luke in the locker rooms.. What???" but nope! Haha
