Luna looked around but couldn't see anybody around, she picked up the book and found out that a song was written on it but was yet to be completed, she picked up the pen and wrote somethings down finishing the half written lyrics. Luna finished the lyrics and started singing the song with the tune written down in the book. Her ethereal voice resounding at the balcony , Luna was so engrossed with singing that she didn't notice when a figure walked into the balcony.
Jason stepped out to get water as he was thirsty, he came to school to relax at his special spot and maybe get some inspiration to finish up a song he was working on.
On getting back to the spot, he saw a girl sitting on the floor singing his song with his song book on her hand,her voice sounded like an angel, Jason has not seen anyone with such a beautiful voice before,she even sang some parts which he couldn't recognize and he knew that it must be her own creation but it fitted perfectly to his song, it was exactly what he was looking for.
What are you doing here? Jason said. Luna who was engrossed with the song was startled by the sudden voice behind her. I.... I.. just, she stuttered.
Didn't your mom teach you not to touch other people's belongings without their permission, Jason said snatching the song book from Luna. Luna kept quiet looking down, she had already recognized him as Jason, the leader of the boy band SPARKLING and regretted touching his book or even writing on it.
Jason saw that she had finished writing the lyrics and it was really what he needed to complete that song. Can't you talk, he asked but still got no reply. Are you deaf or just pretending to be dumb, Jason said again in a bit harsher tone.
That remark again,Luna who has been scolded and called dumb earlier burst into tears when she was called dumb again by Jason.
Jason was surprised by her sudden outburst, was I that harsh? He thought to himself. Jason could deal with anything but he didn't like women crying because of him, growing up and seeing his mom cry everyday because of his father till she finally died at his hands, he vowed not to make any woman cry because of him, so seeing Luna sobbing made him feel helpless.
He approached Luna and hugged her patting her back, it's ok, am sorry for shouting at you, I didn't mean to, Jason said trying to comfort her. Luna fell into his embrace crying out all her earlier grievances, Jason stiffened when she embraced him too but couldn't push her away as she was sobbing so much .
Luna cried in his embrace for some time and stopped realizing that she was embracing Jason tightly. Am sorry, I just couldn't... Am really sorry,she said stepping away from Jason. It's ok, Jason said. His jacket was already soiled with Luna's tears and he had to take it off ,Luna was embarrassed at the mess she had made of his jacket, let me have it cleaned up and return it to you, she offered.
It's ok, you don't have to bother.
Am really sorry for touching your book without your permission,I just didn't know what to do at that moment and I just took the book. Am really sorry, Luna apologized again.
It's ok, you can go now. Jason said.
Thank you, Luna said leaving the balcony, Jason turned to look at the departing figure and saw that her skirt was stained with blood and she was obviously unaware, he wasn't a naive teenage boy, he immediately knew that it was the thing called monthly peroi*d for ladies and it wasn't proper for it to be seen by others. Wait, Jason said and Luna who was already leaving stopped turning to him.
You can't leave, why? Luna asked confused. I meant you can't leave like that, your skirt, he pointed at her skirt. Luna looked down at her skirt, she knew she looked terrible and dirty with the food spillage still on her body but she didn't understand what Jason was talking about, I know, I was going to get changed, she said.
Jason knew that she misunderstood him, what am trying to say is that your skirt is stained with peri*d blo*d , he said with his ears reddening obviously embarrassed at saying such a thing.
Luna's eyes widened in shock, her tears suddenly drying up as she processed Jason's words. Her face flamed with embarrassment, her cheeks burning like hot coals. She gasped, her hand flying to her skirt, her eyes darting down to see the incriminating stain. "Oh no... oh no, no, no..." she muttered, her voice barely audible, her face sinking into her hands.No wonder, she was having stomach discomfort earlier, it turned out that her aunt flo was already here but it wasn't yet time for it, this is so embarrassing , Luna thought to herself.
She really couldn't leave the place like that as the distance between this secret place and the restroom was a long way and she might be seen by students on her way to the restroom and that doesn't seem to be a good idea. Luna stood still awkwardly, looking down at her feet, thinking of what she would do about her situation.
