Luna's POV
I finished helping my mom to cook.. I also finished preparing for the table. My mom asked me to call Zeke and my little brother Lucas.
I went to the living room to call Zeke first.. but it looks like I don't have to call Lucas upstairs anymore.. Lucas is sleeping on top of Zeke while hugging him.. Zeke is also sleeping while hugging Lucas..
I can't help but take out my phone and take a picture.. I called my mom to let her see it..
My brother Lucas who hate other people to touch him has hugged a total stranger to him..
After a while Zeke woke up and so is Lucas..
I just pretend I saw nothing and called them for dinner.
"Uh, Zeke.. Where do you live?" My mom asked..
I was a bit embarrassed.. But I just let her talk anyway.
"I just live 3 blocks away from here Ma'a-- Aunty.." He answered awkwardly
"Where are you from?"-Mom
"What does your parents do?"-Mom
"Uhm.. Mom can you please let him eat in peace? You're kinda asking too much question." I stopped her..
"It's alright.." Zeke answered.
"I'm originally from Y city Aunty.. My guardian has a small business there.." Zeke answered calmly..
"Oh, I see.." My mom just answered and stopped talking..
Our dinner finished peacefully and Zeke helped me to tidy the table..
"I'll help you wash the dishes." He said..
"It's alright.. You don't have to"-me
"No, No.. Please let me help." He insisted so I did not have a choice but to let him help..
I am washing the dishes and he is rinsing it.
"Sorry about earlier.. my mom just couldn't stop talking when she asked something." I said in low tone of voice..
I swear I'm so embarrassed.
"It's alright. I don't mind. Besides.. It is kinda fun for me.. No one has been that interested in me to ask those questions." He said with a slight smile in his face..
I was in a daze seeing him smile..
"Uhm, We're you always alone?" I asked out of nowhere. I didn't realized I just asked that!!
"I guess so.. People think I'm too gloomy to talk to." He answered..
I can feel there is sadness in his voice.. Am I imagining it? Ughhh I don't know..
"I don't think so.. I think you are pretty cool."I just said with a smile.
He stopped moving.. I looked at his ears it is all red..
"Dude.. Why are you blushing?!" I asked in panic
"It's just... No one has told me such a nice thing before.." He said with an awkward smile..
-2 hours later-
It is gonna be late soon so Zeke bid goodbye to my mom because he have to go home soon..
I walked him outside and said goodbye too
"Thank you for having me tonight.. Tell Aunty that the food she cooked is very delicious." He said
"Oh.. Sure.. You can come by anytime just in case you miss her cooking."I said jokingly..
He awkwardly laughed and so did I..
"Anyway.. See ya. Thanks for hanging with us tonight." I said
Then he walked away
I look at his back and I don't know why and how.. but I felt like something pierced my heart.. I was in pain..
-The next day-
I went to school early today.. It is just 6:30am and our class starts at 7:10am.. I'm so bored.. but I don't have anything to do..
Suddenly someone entered the room I jump out of fear.. I mean.. Who goes to class this early?!?!?! (I mean.. I know it is me.. but who really does this?!)
I thought it was a ghost but a manly figure appeared.. It was Zeke
"The heck?! It's just Zeke.. You scared me to death." I said and let out a sigh
"Oh? Luna.. Goodmorning." He said with no energy at all.. looks like this dude just got out of bed.
"Goodmorning." I answered half heartedly..
The time passed I didn't even noticed.. I was staring at Zeke so hard that I didn't even notice the time!!!
it is 6:58 and students are starting to enter their classrooms..
I was spacing out looking outside the window.. I feel a little empty.. As if I lost something..
"What did I lost?" I didn't notice that I said it out loud..
"I don't know What is it?" Hana asked.
Hana is my bestfriend she is basically here at everything..
"Forget it the class is starting ready up your things girl.. You have a lot to do todayyy!" She said in energetic voice.
I just let out a sigh and buried my face on my table and just let the time pass on..
-Breaktime-
*Phone rings*
I looked at my phone.. My mom is calling..
[Mom calling...]
*beep*
[L]: Hello mom?
[Mom]: Luna, Dear.. I need to ask you a favour.
[L]: Oh.. Go ahead.
[Mom]: Your little brother Lucas said he wants Zeke to visit here later.. I'm going to leave for work later exactly after your last class. Do you think you can bring Zeke here?
[L]: Mom, You know I can't do that.. Zeke must be busy..
[Mom]: Just try asking him, honey.. You know Lucas barely ask for requests.. Maybe he would start speaking again if he hang out with Zeke a lot.
I can't help but let out a sigh and just agreed with her... afterall Its been so long since Lucas last spoke.. When dad left Lucas stopped talking to everyone..
[L]: Okay mom, I'll try my best..
[Mom]: Thank you honey, I'm gonna hang up I have a lot of works to do..
*Beep*
It is our Lunch break.. I went to canteen and bought food.. ofcourse.. I started looking for Lucas..
Well.. After some time I found him sitting alone in the corner..
Man.. This dude really gives Lonely guy energy.
I sat in front of him.. Welp he was startled.. I bet he did not expect it. He was spacing out.
"Hey, Why are you spacing out?" I asked him
"Oh, Uhm.. Nothing.. Something just came into my mind." He answered coldly.
I suddenly felt tense atmosphere and I realized everyone has been looking at the both of us..
"Hey, Zeke.. Why aren't you inviting anyone to eat with you?" I asked half-heartedly
"No one would want to." He answered plainly.
Then it got real quiet.. After some time.. He finally spoke
"Actually.. I was a bit surprised when you still talked to me.. usually people just avoids me afterwards when they get to hang out with me.. You're.. Just different from them."He said and looked at me with his warm melting look
I can feel the blood rushing to my face..
How can he say those things with that look and not even get embarrassed!!!!
"Luna.. You should get going.. I don't want you to hang out with a loser like me. I don't want to damage your reputation." He said while looking outside..
I kinda wanna punch him in the face when he said that.. But I calmed myself.
"You're not damaging anyone's reputation.." I said while looking at him seriously.
"I think you're cool, Zeke." I said trying to make it sound natural and loud.
Everyone got real quiet and even Zeke is speechless.. but after a while other people did not care about us and minded their own business.
"By the way Zeke, Can you come over today? Lucas asked favor to mom.. He said he want to play with you.. Lucas isn't really the type who hangs out with strangers but for some reason he really likes you." I said with a sigh. Ready to accept a declination.
"Really?" He asked..
Bruh why would you ask 'Really.'
"Yep, He really wants to play with you. If you're busy.. You don't have to.. I'll just make him understand." I answered him
"It's alright.. I don't have plans anyway." He said with a slight smile..
I was stunned but I didn't say anything afterwards
