It was another school day, Luna woke up feeling good and energized, she tidied up her room and proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up. After that, she went into their living room wondering if her brother was awake, getting to the kitchen door she was met with a note "Good morning princess, sorry I couldn't have breakfast with you, I have an errand to run at the company, I made you breakfast. Do have a good day"
She chuckled at how thoughtful her brother was, she went into the kitchen got the breakfast and went to the dinning to eat. After eating,she went back to her room to get dressed for school, she wore her uniform and shoes admiring herself in the mirror wondering if she got her beauty from her mom or her dad, she didn't get to see her father as she was told he died when her mom was still pregnant,in a fire accident,she didn't even get to see his pictures, as for her mom, she died of an aliment when she was just five so she doesn't have much memory of her face, she concluded that she must have gotten her beauty from both.
Luna doesn't like putting on makeup as her face was already beautiful needing no additional makeup but as a girl a lipgloss was a must, she applied her lipgloss on her lips and left the house, as she locked their doors, she saw Melissa getting out of her own house. Hey Luna! Melissa shouted waving at her, Hello Melissa, how are you?
Am good, and your foot? It's ok too, the ointment you gave me was super effective, Melissa said raising her leg to show Luna. Am glad it helped you, Luna said smiling.
Going to school? Melissa asked assessing Luna, Yea I was just about leaving. Let's go together since it's the same direction, I have been so busy at work that I have totally forgotten about the treat I promised you, how about we do it tomorrow since it's weekend and you don't have to go to school? Melissa asked. That's fine by me, I have nothing on tomorrow,Luna answered. They both chatted until the reached the entrance of the neighborhood, they entered different taxis to their different destinations.
Luna got to school and went to her class as usual, from the hallway she was getting weird looks from students, she didn't think much of it and continued her journey. When she stepped into the class, she's finally here, someone exclaimed, everyone looked at her, some with admiration, some with jealousy and disdain. Luna walked to her desk admist the stares, she saw that her desk and sit were filled with things like flowers, sweets and cookies and notes, she picked one of the notes and read it. It says Luna you are so beautiful, I fell in love with you the moment I saw your pictures on the school forum, will you be my girlfriend? Sam from class Diamond.
What's all this? Luna asked Eric who was grinning at her, they are gifts and love letters from your admirers and suitors.
When did I start getting admirers and suitors and what's that about pictures on the school forum? Luna asked still confused about everything.
You don't know? Know what? Your pictures were posted on the school forum yesterday and caused quite an uproar, Eric explained.
Luna took out her phone tapping on the school forum, she saw her pictures hashtagged THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN STAR ACADEMY ,she saw pictures of her in the stage outfit as well as pictures of her in the class talking, laughing, even when she was taking a nap, it was clear that they all were sneak shot taken when she was unaware,she even saw a picture of her in the hallway just now,she also saw different comments complimenting her looks, comparing her to Ivy and other famous stars and different boys confessing their feeling and calling her their goddess. Luna was overwhelmed, seriously, she said . Yeah, seriously , Eric replied her.
This is such a headache, what are my supposed to do with all of this?Luna asked. Take them of course, the are gifts sent to you. Taking them is equivalent to accepting their proposals and am not interested in any of it, Luna replied Eric. That's true, then what do we do? We just pack it up, we are going to return all of it after classes, Luna said. Eric provided a plastic bag and they carefully packed all the gifts and notes in there planning to return them after classes.
Leah entered the class and saw everything, this things should have all been hers, the compliments,the gifts , everything. She was already mad at Luna for stealing her limelight yesterday and now she was getting gifts and love letters which only fueled her indignation .Some people can't focus on their studies but instead prefer seducing men at such a young age, Leah said almost shouting afraid that others wouldn't hear her, everyone knew she was referring to Luna but no one interfered as they wanted to see a drama unfold.
Luna heard her but decided to ignore her as her name wasn't mentioned and she did be accepting the accusations if she replied her.
Leah was angry at being ignored by Luna, she got up and directly went to Luna's sit. Am referring to you, you are just a cheap girl who managed to get into Star Academy through the scholarship program and now you think you will famous here, Leah spat venomously.
"I understand that you may have concerns or feelings about my presence here, Leah. However, I'd appreciate it if you could express them in a more civil manner. I'm here to learn and grow, just like everyone else. Let's focus on supporting each other, I don't want to be involved in a banter with you, Luna responded to Leah's jab.
Leah was about to retort when the teacher came in and order returned to the class room, Leah went back to her sit still looking at Luna with hatred in her eyes.
They continued their classes for the day till it was time for lunch break.
