“My lovely ladies, how are you both on this fine day? ” He was acting weird, which meant he knew.
“Hey weirdo, today has been good. Why are you acting more weird than usual?” Act normal! Questioning his mood isn’t normal Luna!
“If you must know, I found out some news that made me happy so I am having a great day. Thank you for asking.” Luna was more confused because she didn't understand what could have made her day. She realized what was the beginning of the conversation with her and Lorraine. Luna immediately realized that she said it out loud, she was madly in love with Oliver. She didn’t think about how long Oliver was in front of them, he must have heard her say it and that’s why he’s over the moon happy.
“Glad I asked.” Lorraine just watched the whole thing and chose to stay quiet because she put the same two and two together like Luna did. For Lorraine it showed as second hand embarrassment for Luna.
Throughout the class, she could feel Oliver’s hand slowly trying to hold hers and she wanted to hold his hand. She wanted to hold it and kiss it but she couldn’t. Not until she tells him about the crush. Luna could feel all her emotions spiraling out of control because she wanted to just tell Oliver that she loves him and that she wants to be with him and to be together forever, but also she is telling herself that she doesn’t know what would happen between her and Joaquin. When she heard the bell ring, she didn’t wait, she just ran out of the classroom, she almost fell three times but she didn’t care, she needed to get away from Oliver just in case her words would have spilled out that she loved him or that she has a crush. She ran into the bathroom into a stall to catch a breath, she was near her next classroom but she couldn’t help but struggle to breathe. She heard a familiar voice not like one from around the school, she looked through the gap between the stall and the door, she saw Karol. She opened the door and she went to wash her hands to act casual while running into Karol.
“Luna?” Act normal!
“Yeah? Oh, Karol! What are you doing here?”
“My parents moved into this school district, I forgot you go to this school. At least, I have a friend now.”
“Actually you have two, Oliver also goes to this school. I just got out of class with him.”
“Are you guys finally dating?” The question Luna wasn’t expecting if anything, maybe the question of how was your summer or where’s your next class or even can you help me find my classes would have been better, but instead she got the you guys are dating right question.
“No, why do you ask?”
“I just assumed you guys would because you both were so close last year and now that you are having a new start with school it would have been understandable to start dating each other. I’m sorry for thinking you guys are dating.”
“I mean, I can understand why you thought that. I do want to date him, but I…”
“You?”
“I made it complicated, and I am struggling to figure out how to uncomplicate it, if that makes sense.”
“It makes sense, you can do it. See you later Luna.” Karol was always nice to Luna, but she wasn’t wrong if anyone could do it, it was Luna. Luna was okay with getting to class a minute late, because she needed a minute to splash water on her face and hope for the best. As Luna was walking to class, late, she was just thinking of how science class was going to go today. As Luna sat in her Language Arts class, she was just watching time passing by.
She walked slowly to science class. She was the last one to get to her class which confused both Joaquin and Oliver. Oliver still had the biggest grin on his face.
“Luna, you never told me that you and Oliver almost dated last year.” That was not what she expected for today. She didn’t know what to say or how to even say anything.
“What?”
“Oliver was telling me about how you had a crush on him last year and that you guys almost dated, why didn’t you tell me that?” She knew what Oliver was doing. He wanted Joaquin to know that they almost dated to get Joaquin to leave Luna alone on the romantic aspect.
“I guess, but Oliver, what prompted you to tell him that?”
“Well girlie, I thought he had the right to know that we were that close in that kind of way. I’m shocked that you didn’t tell him, you told Lorraine earlier, didn’t you?”
“You’re a jerk! Joaquin, I am so sorry I didn’t tell you about something like this because I didn’t think it was that important, but yes we dated for 2 hours and that was it.” She was very upset with Oliver because he took things too far today.
“Oh, Oliver. Karol said hi.” For the rest of the class time, she didn’t focus on either of the guys at her table. She was just annoyed by it all, she wanted to go home and cry. She could feel both of their concerned eyes looking at her because she chose to only look up when the teacher was writing on the board which was rare for her teacher. She watched time pass and that was worse because she didn’t know what to do with herself after this class, go home, walk Chewie, do her homework, go to sleep, and repeat the day all over again.
