She walked into her next class acting as if nothing happened. She was luckily only one minute late but the teacher didn’t care as long as it wasn’t over 5 minutes late. Luna wasn’t able to focus, all she could think about was how she broke Aaron and his girlfriend up, but she didn’t want him all day, she told him to go with his people but he chose to stay with her. Luna started writing, but it wasn’t notes for the class. ‘How can you be so dumb? You should go back to your girlfriend. You should focus on her, not me. I am a little nobody in a sea of people. You should be with someone that is as bright as a star.’ As Luna was writing everything, she felt like she was finally calming down until she heard the bell ring. She was focused on finishing her writing, she realized that she was being steered to her next class.
“Hi Aaron,” She stopped being moved, which confused her. It wasn’t Aaron, it was Joaquin.
“Oh, hi Joaquin. I thought you were that dude.” As she saw Aaron walking up to her to take her to science even though Joaquin was in that class with her. Joaquin was confused by Aaron’s presence.
“Who is he to you, Luna? I see him always with you and he is always waiting for you to get out of your classes. Is he your boyfriend or something?” Luna’s eyes were as wide as her mouth at this moment, she didn’t know what to say because it caught her off guard. She wanted to say something, but she was speechless.
“He is…my friend. Just like you are Joaquin. Is that a problem? He lives in my neighborhood so we see each other more.” Go Luna! Stand your ground! She could feel her bag getting tugged by Aaron which meant he wanted the bag. She released her hands from the strap and she felt the weight being lifted from her shoulder. She needed that weight lifted.
“I just don’t trust him with you. I heard he dates a bunch of different ladies in the school, I don’t want you to be one of those girls. I care about you.” She could feel a bit of her anger boiling but she simmered down because she still had to deal with Joaquin during science. So she looked at Aaron and smiled at him.
“Aaron, are you going to ask me out and date me with other ladies in the school and break my heart in front of everyone?” Aaron was shocked but he knew what Luna was doing.
“Why, of course I am. I never thought you would catch onto my plans, but alas you have a friend that cares about you to tell you my evil plan.” Once Aaron said evil plan, they both started laughing. She looked at Joaquin who wasn’t laughing with them.
“I understand you’re worried about me, Joaquin but so is Aaron. I think seeing how weird we are together it could tell you that we are just friends just like me and you.”
“Okay fine, whatever.” Joaquin said that and then walked past her. When she got to science, he was sitting at a completely different table. She sat alone at hers. She started questioning why being friends with Aaron was so bad in everyone’s eyes. She didn’t see him in that kind of way, she saw him like a big brother. A good big brother. The class went by and she saw Aaron ready to go home.
“You look tired.”
“I do not, you are just full of draining people. Will you explain the last guy that tried to make me look bad?” Luna didn’t know how to explain what happened with Joaquin, she was still trying to figure it out herself. They walked to the bus together and she saw Aaron’s ex-girlfriend. She gave Luna death glares so Luna put her head down. Aaron noticed the glare and saw the change in her mood.
“Don’t let her get to you, she is mad at me and is trying to use you as a way to get to me.” How did Luna get into a rom-com? She needed a friend and in the process she is being used to destroy her own friend? Is this what happens to all his friends that are girls? … Wait a minute.
“Aaron, do you have any other friends that are girls that aren’t me?” Aaron didn’t say anything, if anything he acted like he didn’t hear the question.
