After the events from the previous day, Luna was worn out, but what other choice did she have? "Think about what you've done Luna. You think it's easy to get by with 4 jobs and coming home to seem my daughter on suspension, for a FIGHT?!" Luna's father lectured, his voice was like thunder in her ears.
Luna's mother just shook her head looking at her daughter sadly. "Luna…. You know we try our hardest for you and Wisp, all we expect from you is good grades. All of our efforts go to waste when you start stuff like this…" Luna's mother wiped her tears of disappointment and sadness. Luna stayed knelt on the floor, closing her eyes to avoid looking at her parents. "It's not my fault… I tried to apologize from bumping into him, and he hit me…" She whimperedbefore being forced into her room.
"You ok, Luna? You know mom and dad are just mad…" He said as he slipped his backpack over his shoulder, looking at his sister with a sad expression on his face. Luna then replied, "I know… I just…" She sighed and hugged her pillow.
Soon Wisp went to his own school, but Luna stayed in bed before coming up with an Idea. "I'll sneak out!" She blurted, jumping from her bed and pacing around the room with a finger over her chin, soon an Idea came to her mind. "I'll use the window… it's only the second floor…" she said, peering out the window and swallowing hard as a bead of sweat came down. "Maybe a rope would suffice…?"
Luna then reached for the drawer on her bedside, taking out a brown ball of yarn. Without waste, Luna began knitting the rope "I just pray this doesn't snap…", she worried to herself, almost having second thoughts. After 30 minutes she had a long enough rope, though it wasn't perfect, it was sturdy enough for her to climb out.
Luna threw the yarn rope out the window, tying it to the sash, causing it to close as she descended. "Careful…. Careful…" She went down carefully, but became too confident in her ability to climb down and fell! "AHHHHH!!!! SOMEONE HELP!" Luna shrieked as she fell, squeezing her eyes closed, but suddenly she was caught. Luna opened her eyes to see the stranger who had caught her.
It was a tall handsome guy, around her age. Looking at Luna with surprise and concern, he then asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?! What were you thinking?!" The girl was too mesmerized to speak after a minute she snapped out of it from the concern on his face. "I-I'm fine! Thanks for saving me… I could've died…" Luna's doe eyes strayed away from his, she curled her light brown locks behind her ear. "Thanks for saving me… I owe you my life…" She smiled.
"Ayooooo do you see Luna and that guy?" Brandon called out to Ray, who was lagging behind on his hoverboard. "Right after fighting Ace? This is bipolar behavior!" They both cackled laughing secretly. "About your cousin," Brandon asked Ray, "are you like not gonna hang out with her? "I don't really care that she moved here." Ray shrugged as the boys kept talking, late to school as usual for some snacks.
Meanwhile…
Ace was walking out of his house after arguing with his dad, he took a cigarette to his lips and sighed as he lit it up, looking around to see if anyone was watching. "Old ass fucker telling me what to do!" He kicked the trash can and went back to walking, he peered into his signature alley way and saw the masochist couple. It was Jeremy and Nevada, they were making out and spanking each other.
"Oh my fucking god this is gross as fuck!" Ace ran over and kicked Jeremy into the leaking sewer water before backhanding Nevada. "What the hell was that for?!" Nevada yelped, holding her cheek as Jeremy got up. "You can hit me but NEVER my girlfriend… understood?!" Ace rolled his eyes and scoffed, his signature expression reflected his annoyance. "I couldn't care less for a couple that skips school hours to go and fuck." He spat the cigarette at Jeremy, before Ace knew it he was getting jumped…. But WINNING?!
Luna on the other hand was conversing with the guy that saved her, turns out that his name was Kai. He was pretty kind and understanding towards her, she liked that… maybe she liked him? "So…. Kai, you're around my age right…? Why aren't you at school?" She inquired, looking up at him with her big brown eyes. Kai smiled at Luna, "I'm homeschooled, and my lessons don't start until… 8:40." He recalled "How about you? You're not at school." He asked Luna, she then remembered and sighed. "This stupid guy at school got me suspended because he picked on me! And that's what made me sneak out…."
They kept talking before turning the corner to see…. ACE?! He was holding Jeremy by the collar and beating his face in while Nevada was knocked out cold on the floor, in the middle of all this mess was a girl with smoky pink hair and blue eyes. She was trying to get Ace to stop, but he was clearly losing it on Jeremy. "Ace what the hell?!" Luna ran to the scene with Kai, she tried to pull Ace off and he ignored her. But suddenly the other girl was tired of this and grabbed his fist, glaring at him with her blue eyes.
"What the hell do you think you're doing…" Ace glared back with his cyan and red eyes.
