Chereads / Twilight Academy / Chapter 8 - Who likes Iced Coffee?

Chapter 8 - Who likes Iced Coffee?

Luna is in History class, talking to her besties since the Teacher is absent.

"We should have a sleepover!" Shion suggested.

"Ey, that's pretty good!" Luna expressed.

"How about your place Eclipse? You said you have the Attack on Titan manga series in your room," Shion requested.

"Sorry but no," Eclipse replied.

"Why not?" Shion asked.

"The other day my brother was… acting weird," Eclipse explained.

"When is he not?" Luna quietly commented.

"What was he doing?" Shion questioned.

"Anoo… he… spoke to me," Eclipse answered.

"Without getting angsty?" Luna hypothetically asked.

"Yeah…" Eclipse muttered, glancing around.

"What he'd say?" Shion asked.

"He wanted to know Luna's preference in dudes," Eclipse responded.

"I didn't wanna tell cuz I thought it would hurt his feelings, so I lied and said I didn't know. Then he did something freaky," Eclipse told them.

"What he'd do?" Luna questioned.

"I dunno how but… he knew I was lying. It was like he read my mind," Eclipse explained, spooked.

"And this around 3:00 PM," She added. Luna and Shion shared some glances, they too were also spooked.

"I thought vampires couldn't use their powers until night time," Luna spoke.

"Well… if they wear a special amulet it'll allow them to use their powers anytime," Shion informed.

"Eh? What do you mean?" Luna asked. She never heard about amulets allowing vampires to use their endowment during the day.

"It's like the necklace Ash and his sister wear. If it's grey then it means the amulet is deactivated, rendering it useless, unless it's used for a fashion accessory. But, if a vampire adds a little bit of their endowment to it, it'll turn red. Then the amulet will allow a vampire to use their endowment, even if it's locked away because of daylight." Shion explained.

"But… I didn't see him wearing one… unless he hid it…" Eclipse thought.

"What if he can use some of his endowment because he's a half-blood?" Luna suggested. Shion Looked impressed by what Luna said.

"I never thought about that," Shion expressed.

"Now that I think about it, that might be possible…" She pondered.

"Catch!" Luna threw an eraser at Eclipse, who in return, caught it so fast nobody saw.

"That could be," Luna commented.

"Since we can't go over to Eclipse's place, how bout' we go to yours?" Luna asked Shion.

"I would love to, but my sisters are so annoying. They're always arguing about who's the favorite child. My parents keep telling them that they don't have a favorite. Dad hangs out with me the most, so Kari is teasing me about being "Daddy's favorite" and a bunch of other things," Shion ranted.

"That means it's your place, Luna," Eclipse told Luna.

"Fine by me, Just hope you guys don't mind Nyx coming to join us," Luna said.

"Nah, Nyx is cool," Eclipse said.

"Really cool!" Shion added.

The bell rang, signaling the students to go to their next destination. Luna went to her locker to get some things. She got her things and was about to close her locker when someone else closed it. Luna looked and saw Ronnie, smirking.

"Hey, cupcake," He flirted.

"Don't call me cupcake…" Luna said annoyed.

"But it fits you!" Ronnie whined.

"Or should I call you sweet cheeks?" Ronnie coyly asked.

"S... Sweetcheeks?" Luna blushed. Ronnie squeezed her cheeks, causing Luna to yelp.

"So cute!" Ronnie blushed, It looked like Luna was pouting. Suddenly, she started laughing uncontrollably.

"Does that tickle?" Ronnie asked

"N-no haha," Luna answered. In the background was Sasha, watching them from behind a wall. She smirked, looking down at a spellbook, titillationem basiorum.

After a few seconds, Luna stopped laughing.

"What happened? I just laughed out of nowhere," Luna panted.

"Are you sure it didn't tickle?" Ronnie asked.

"Yes," Luna answered.

Shadow was also spying on Luna, watching her laugh. He thought her laugh was beautiful, but he was jealous since it looked Like Ronnie was making her laugh.

Throughout the school day, Shadow has been watching Luna's every move, trying to find out more about her. Luna keeps getting the feeling that she's being watched.

Luna is getting ready for her sleepover, her room was a mess so she attempted to clean it.

"Hey, kiddo… cleaning your room? That's unusual," Nyx pointed out.

"I'm getting ready for the sleepover with Shi and Eclipse," Luna told her.

"You're planning on having it in here? Nah, I got something better," Nyx said. So they went outside to see what Nyx had.

"Tada!" She presented a giant well-made wooden yurt.

"When did you do all this?" Luna asked, amazed.

"Oh, ya know. With G at work, and you at school, I got bored so I made this!" Nyx explained.

"All by yourself?" Luna asked.

"Pretty much, I did have a few blood clones help out, with the little endowment I could use," Nyx said, whispering the last part.

"And you had the patience to do this?" Luna asked, shocked.

"Eh… if I wasn't building then I was either playing around with the wood or building the other parts," Nyx admitted.

"And if I wasn't doing that then I was decorating the inside," Nyx added. Luna rolled her eyes.

"K then," Luna said. She suddenly got another vision after staring at the yurt.

The Black-haired boy from her previous vision is staring at a medieval-style barracks.

"So... this is where I'll be staying... I swear, I will become the best Knight, and I will protect Frieda,"

Luna blinked, this is the second time she saw this mysterious boy.

"You ok, kiddo?" Nyx asked.

"Ja... um... Nyx, who's Frieda?" Luna asked.

"Oh, that's your great, great, great... grandmother from 13 generations ago; She was Daughter of a head Knight who died soon after she was born, and her mother died giving birth, so she was raised by her uncle. Her uncle hated her because she was next in line to become a head Dame, and possibly Queen or Princess since Dames usually married into royalty. Her uncle was jealous, and wanted Frieda's cousin to become a head Dame," Nyx explained.

"He would make Frieda and her cousin duel each other for the title, Frieda didn't want to hurt her cousin so she would lose on purpose. That made everyone think that she was weak and unworthy, and Frieda's cousin was made Heiress, But that didn't work out in the end because your grandfather, Retter, Became king, and married Frieda," Nyx added in.

"why'd you ask?" Nyx asked her.

"I saw a black-haired boy, and he said something about, becoming a knight so he could protect Frieda," Luna answered.

*Knock knock*

"Sasha, can you answer the door?" Sasha's mom asked.

"Fine!" Sasha groaned. She answered the door and found her sporty Strawberry blond-haired friend.

"Peyton, what are you doing here?" Sasha asked.

"Was bored and wanted to know if you wanna go out for some iced coffee," Peyton said.

"Sure, need a break," Sasha replied. She got dressed in skinny dark blue jeans, pink slip-on, and a pink tie-dye crop top.

"So how's basketball practice?" Sasha asked as they walked to Starby's

"In general, Practice is fine but Levi is just… I dunno, every time I try to impress him he doesn't really say anything but "good job, Peyton" he's just so… dense," Peyton ranted.

"Maybe he likes short-haired girls, he's always talking to this one short-haired girl…" Peyton thought. Her hair is a medium length so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

"What about you, What's up with Ronnie?" Peyton asked.

"The new girl stole him from me, now I'm trying to get him back but, nothing's working," Sasha said.

"So I've been practicing magic, soon I'll learn a love spell then, Ronnie will be mine once again!" Sasha added.

"When you learn that spell can you try it on, Levi?" Peyton joked.

"hey, guys! What are you talking about?" Kaydence, Their pink-haired friend with blue and yellow highlights asked.

"Trying to think of ways to get Levi to pay attention to me," Peyton said

"Isn't his dad the french teacher?" Kaydence asked.

"Maybe if you learned some french you could impress Levi!" Kaydence suggested.

"Or, you could get his dad to like you," Sasha advised.

"hm... I think I'll try that," Peyton replied.

Shion was passing by and heard the whole conversation. She walked away and went back home to prepare for the sleepover.
