Chapter 22

Thursday (the next morning)

"Krystal" Steph calls, slamming the door behind her.

What does she want, she's ruining my beauty sleep.  I'm merely groan at her, indicating for her to shut up and let sleep consume me once again.

"Get up we have to leave in 30 minutes." She says, obviously irritated by my non verbal response.

Fuck.

"What! It's already Thursday!"

"Yes, now come on! I'm not missing the bus because of you."

Sheesh. She seems grumpier than usual, I wonder what crawled up her ass and died. Of course I'd never ask her that, my head would probably be on a stick if I did, Stephanie might seem sweet and nice but in reality she can be a monster if not treated properly. I love her for it, it's just another aspect to her personality, at least with her around things are never boring. My best friend always knows how to liven any situation, be it for better or for worse.

I can feel her glaring daggers at me even though my eyes are closed, I swear if she's mad at you you can tell from a mile away and let me give you some friendly advice, run, run to a different continent, you don't want to mess with a pissed if Stephanie, I promise.

Urgh. I slowly sit up, stretching my aching arms, carefully, not wanting to enrage her further.

29 minutes later

I'm sprinting down the stairs to where Steph is standing by the door, looking aggravated. Okay she's definitely in a bad mood, usually she isn't this mad at me for almost making us late. I'd ask her what's wrong but she'll most definitely start screaming at me if I do so it's best to just let the subject rest.

I am curious though. I really want to ask but I know better and value my life so I won't. I'll just guess. Maybe she had a fight with Tyler or she got a shitty grade from her English teacher or maybe it's something else. I give up, who knows with her.

"Jeez! Calm down, I made it. Stop acting like a preteen PMSing for the first time."

Yep, that's got to be it, she's PMSing.

She scoffs brushing off my words before replying bitterly "Only just. Now come on! The bus will be here any second."

Ha. She didn't deny it, I'm definitely onto something here.

School

"See, we made it, it's fine. We even have 10 minutes until class starts."

"Okay fine, I'll chill. But now we're here I want all the details about you and Lucas."

I freeze. Shit. I didn't really come up with what to do last night. Oh crap. Ummm... ummm...

"There's nothing to tell" okay you're doing good so far "we're dating end of story ".

"I know that but I want the details."

"Nah-uh. I'm not telling you anything." I smile, oh I love messing with her.

"Come on Krystal that's not fair!"

"Don't care you're just going to have to suck it up."

Steph starts glaring and pouting at me. Oh this is too funny.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Come on, that's the bell, we have to go."

"Whatever" she says, still pouting, and storms off. Okay maybe I pissed her off too much. Oh well, I'll work out what to tell her later.

Maths now. Yay fun. Is there sarcasm in that statement? Kind of. I actually really like maths but the topic we're doing at the moment is just so easy and boring. It's a waste of my time but oh well, I can't do anything about it.

~*~*~

I force myself to class after class and it's finally lunchtime, thank the gods.

The canteen is busy as per usual so I'm going to have to wait a while for my lunch. Urgh. RIP me, I'm starving, I don't think my stomach can wait.

Suddenly, I feel someone standing extremely close behind me, strong arms are wrapped around my waist as hot breath is released next to my ear, followed by a raspy yet gentle whisper "guess who, Luna."

Lucas.

I turn around slowly, praying no eyes are on us, luckily none are because everyone is to absorbed in their own conversations.

"What are you doing Lucas?" I say as I wiggle my way out of his hold with slight difficulty.

"What? We have to look like we're dating and this is probably the best way to do it, unless you think I wasn't being forward enough." He says with a suggestive wink.

Cue eye roll, Stephanie is definitely rubbing off on me.

"Why do we have to make it look so public? Can't just Stephanie and Tyler 'know'."

He sighs. "Well now they 'know' about us people will find out and start spreading rumours. As we both know rumours are horrid things so we should just put them all to rest before some vile nonsense is spread."

His logic does make sense. Maybe he deserves more credit than I give him.

"Fine" I sigh in defeat "but, like I said before, no funny business."

He smirks at me, shaking his head, chuckling to himself as he grabs my waist again, pulling me into an embrace. I'm about to resist but I feel his arms tighten, trapping me in his hold.

I guess it would be strange if we were dating and I refused to be near him. Urgh. You can do it Luna just a few more seconds.

I start to push away again and this time Lucas doesn't stop me, probably because he's aware of my discomfort.

I raise my gaze to him, glaring. He looks back at me with his emerald green eyes, not faltering once, burning holes into my very soul. He gives me the most innocent look possible as he says "What? Am I not allowed to hold my girlfriend?"

I huff in response. "You're enjoying this way too much."

His smirk broadens to a size I didn't believe possible. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Fine play the clueless game. Urgh, this is going to be difficult. How am I going to pretend to be his girlfriend if he acts like this.

Whatever, hopefully karma will be a bitch and he'll get what he deserves. Maybe I'll help it do its job or maybe I won't. Hey, what can I say, I'm lazy.

~*~*~

So far so good. This chapter is also over 1000 words.

This is how I imagine Luna at the beginning.

This would be Stephanie throughout the whole day.

However, I feel like she gets very close to this...

Okay, I'm done rambling now, hope you enjoyed :)
