Luna walked inside her house, then went up to her room. She took off her uniform and put on a purple shirt with a black hoodie over it. She found her favorite black gym shorts with a red line at the side and put that on. She went downstairs and went to play some video games on her 3ds.
"Hi, sweetie, how was school?" Luna's mocha-skinned mother asked.
*It was okay, I made two new friends, but this one guy wouldn't leave me alone..* she signed,
"hehe, he probably wants to be your friend," Blaze reassured.
With Ronnie, he's trying to figure out ways to get Luna, he looks around and imagines Luna coming over, meanwhile his older brother Xavier comes in.
"Xavier, ever heard of knocking?" Ronnie said frustrated.
"Tch, I'm not an old-fashioned vampire, so I don't need permission!" He slouched over to Ronnie's bed.
"Besides, I can tell that you're thinking of something.. is it, Sasha?" Xavier teased.
"No... it's this new girl at school.." Ronnie admitted,
"is she hot?" He asked.
"more like cute... da... milyy…" Ronnie blushed. The next day Luna arrived at school and walked to her locker, hoping to see Shadow again. Meanwhile, Ronnie is watching her, he decided to approach her.
"Utro, Luna," Ronnie greeted him with his hands in his pocket. Luna looked at him confused.
"...hehe, I said morning in Russian." He explained. Luna fidgeted, nervously looking around.
"Look, I know I didn't make a good first impression, but I'll make it up to you. Since you don't like Starby's then how about I take you for ice cream? Everyone likes ice cream!" Ronnie followed her to class, Luna forgot they had a class together. Luna had gotten a message on her from her phone so she went to check it, Ronnie got an idea.
"Hey, can I see that for a minute?" He asked Luna was reluctant to give it to him, so he just took it. Luna went to protest but Ronnie held her back by putting his hand on her forehead.
"Just gonna, add me in," Ronnie said, as he typed his number in, then sent himself a text so he could get Luna's number.
"And... done," He handed Luna's phone back.
"Now we can text each other!" He smiled, Luna shyly looked away. Meanwhile, Sasha saw all of this, so did shadow but he didn't care. So in class Sasha put a thumbtack on Luna's seat. Luna got. startled by it, as usual, she picked it up and put it away. At lunch instead of joining Shion and Eclipse On the rooftop, again, she bumped into Ronnie.
"Hey Luna, let's have lunch together. My friends would love to meet you!" Ronnie said and dragged Luna behind the school, near the incinerator, where a couple of intimidating looking guys were.
"Yo, Ronnie, who's the cutie?" A guy with ash black hair and dark blue eyes asked.
"This is Luna!" Ronnie introduced her. Luna sat next to Ronnie, nervous. Ronnie handed her some onigiri.
"Ever tried onigiri?" He asked Luna shook her head. She seemed confused,
(I thought you were Russian?) she thought.
"My mom is Japanese," he answered like he knew what she was thinking. Luna bit into the onigiri, nervous.
"Is it good?" Ronnie asked.
(It tastes like white rice. What do you want me to say?) Luna thought. She was uncomfortable, she told Ronnie she had to use the bathroom and escaped from him. She ran to the rooftop to meet with her friends but bumped into Shadow. She attempted to apologize but he pushed her, making her fall. At first, when Shadow saw her he felt something like he was happy. Luna saw a look of shock, happiness, and a bit of regret on his face. He scowled then walked away.
"Tch, Baka," He muttered, Luna got up and once again attempted to apologize but Shadow got violent. He grabbed Luna's shirt and pinned her to the wall.
"What the hell do you want?!" He demanded, Luna stood there scared and unable to talk.
"Hm? Now you're not gonna fucking talk? Are you scared? little bitch!" Shadow snarled, Luna shivered and flinched. Shadow was scaring her, she thought about weakly whispering but that might make him mad. Shadow scoffed then pushed her aside.
"Baka Yaro!" He muttered, walking away. Spooked, Luna stood up and went to the rooftop where her friends were.
"Luna, where you? We got worried!" Shion exclaimed, Luna explained what happened and Eclipse gasped.
"What did Shadow do?" She asked, so Luna told her.
"Ugh… Luna, Shadow can be…. Violent at times, he's bipolar, but most of the time you can't tell if he's going through one of his phases or not since he's so... stoic..." Eclipse explained, sad.
"Eclipse…" Shion muttered.
"Anoo... He wasn't always like this... well I don't remember… Mom told me before I was born Shadow had a best friend and childhood crush, he acted well, normal I guess? He wasn't stoic or violent or depressed, then… I dunno, his friend died and Shadow completely changed," Eclipse ranted.
"He just...refuses to get treated, sometimes all he'll do is sleep or he won't sleep at all. He barely eats, always looks tired, and doesn't bother to socialize or make friends. Because he's like that all the time nobody wants to be his friend because they are either scared of him or don't like him," She added.
"I tried talking to him a few times but he would ignore me, yell at me, sometimes hit me. So I gave up, mom is always worried about him and dad, he cares about him but he's not too worried, and he's the only one who Shadow will talk to…" Eclipse frowns a little, Shion pulls out 3 ice cream bars and hands them to her friends.
"Where did you get ice cream? It's not even melted," Eclipse asked, surprised. Shion giggled.
"That's a secret," She told them.
The teacher for health and medicine was absent, and since they don't have substitutes at school Everyone just talked until it was time for class to end. Luna just wanted to read but Ronnie kept talking to her.
"Hey, whatcha reading?" He asked, but Luna ignored him.
"Wanna hang out Friday?" Ronnie tried asking again.
(We hung out yesterday; what do you want?) She mentally asked.
"I have swim practice after school, you should come with me. Maybe one day we can swim together," He suggested. Luna sighed, writing something down.
I can't swim. she wrote.
"Huh, How come?" He asked.
I just can't. She scribbled, answering him.
"I could always teach you," Ronnie suggested.
I already tried learning how to swim, I'm not interested. She wrote down again.
"That's okay. We don't have to go too deep, and if you get scared you could always hold onto me," Ronnie compromised. Luna blushed then sighed.
Fine, I'll go. Luna wrote.
"Awesome! Cya Friday, around 5:15," Ronnie exclaimed, happy.
Luna got out of class but bumped into Sasha again. Luna's eyes shrunk in fear.
"I saw you talking to my boyfriend, bitch!" She snarled, Luna put her hands up, she wasn't sure what to do.
"You're not gonna talk to me?! Why?! Do you think you're better than me?!" Sasha pushed Luna, making her fall and drop her things. Luna frantically shook her head, sweating a little.
"Just because you're a princess or whatever doesn't mean I'll treat you like one!" She grabbed her shirt.
"Oi, Sasha! I told you to stop harassing other students!" An intimidating man with messy black hair and stubble wearing all black came out.
"But... but Mr. Rivaille..." Sasha sputtered.
"But what!?" Mr. Rivaille glared.
"She's trying to steal my boyfriend away from me!" Sasha tried defending herself.
"Sasha, not this again. You do this Every time your current boyfriend loses interest in you. You and I both know how Ronnie is a playboy," He stared down at Sasha.
"I suggest you get going before I give you cleaning duty!" He finished, Sasha grumbled and walked away, stomping her feet covered in pink converse with white stockings.
"I apologize about her, Sasha has some serious issues," Rivaille helped Luna up.
"Je Suis, Rivaille, the French teacher," He greeted.
"If anyone does anything to bother, you can tell me. Apparently, I'm the only teacher that doesn't take any student's shit, especially Sasha's," He handed Luna a Ferrero Rocher Pack, Luna smiled and bowed, then walked away. "Au revoir." He said.
"Nyx…" he muttered.
