The main square of the school wasn't crowded with students like it usually was, it was midterms. Chan and I didn't go one day where we didn't annoy the crap out of each other. To be honest, he was on my last nerve. Not only with constantly seeing so much red everywhere that it gave me a headache, but also not being able to even sneeze without him being a jerk.

"Why. Are. You. Following. Me?" I gritted out as I whirled around to see Chan standing behind me.

"Didn't know it was you. Oops" he said sarcastically.

Finally, I'd had enough. The first week of this had been satisfying and entertaining. Annoying the crap out of him. Now, however, all I wanted to do was punch him in the face.

"STOP!" I yelled in the empty quad, hearing my own voice echo through the buildings surrounding us. Good thing everyone was in the library or their dorms studying, at least pretending to study.

"Oh, can't take your own medicine?" He said putting a hand over his heart trying to pretend to be concerned.

"Either you're going to be honest with me, or you're gonna get the hell out of here." I yelled, not really caring who could hear me at this point. WEEEEEKS of him just trying to be an asshole. "God, no wonder Bora told me you're weird!"

"Hey, I'm not weird. That hurts me." He replied continuing to be sarcastic.

"Is honesty a foreign concept to you? Seriously, CHRISTOPHER." I yelled stepping closer to him, wanting to just scream out of frustration. I started this, you idiot, Luna. Why did you decide to go to war with this guy. I could've just focused on my classes. Gotten good grades and...never found anyone that ever made me see color. Maybe it's just one single color, but it's more then I've ever seen. I didn't want to just let that go. Maybe I was just making excuses to be around him.

"Hey now. No need to pull that name outta the hat, Luna." He replied starting to look angry. "Who even told you that?"

"Does it matter? CHRIS?" I said the name again, trying to rile him up into telling the truth.

"Why are you so convinced that I saw something? Because you did?" He said stepping closer to me. We were almost nose to nose at this point, but I wasn't backing down this time.

"Because that's how it works. It's the law of the universe, I see something the other person HAS to." I slapped my hands down on my thighs in frustration.

"Then maybe you're right, maybe you're just weird. Cause I don't see anything, and maybe I don't want to." He went to walk past me and bumped into my shoulder on purpose as he passed. "And don't call me that again."

I didn't know why I felt like I wanted to cry. I watched as the red slowly faded from my vision and sat down on the grass. Why would the universe do this to me? I tried to be a good person most of the time, except maybe the ten percent that causes me to get into situations like this. I studied, I loved my parents and my family dog. I've never cheated on a test, I never smoked. Why would I be in a situation like this? What have I done in my life that the universe looked at me and said 'yes, lets make her soulmate possibly not her soulmate because he hates her.'

I pulled my knees up to my chest and put my head down on them, feeling the tears start. As if this last semester wasn't hard enough, now I've got Chan to deal with. Why did I start this? It was so stupid of me to think I could out annoy him.

Apparently, he saw this coming and was more than prepared. I wished, more than anything else, that this could be simple like it was for Bora and Seungmin. Just walk into school one day and meet eyes with someone and see full color. Instead I had to deal with this crap.

"Luna?" Bora asked as she walked over to me, "you ok?"

I waved her away "I'm fiiiine."

"Chan still being an ass?" She asked sitting down next to me.

"What do you think?" I asked as I rolled my eyes and sniffed loudly. "I'm about ready to just give up. It's not worth it." I paused, "maybe being alone is better." I said quietly. Anything would be easier then dealing with him.

"Maybe just back off for a while, Lu. You two have been going at this like crazy people."
Bora has always been my best friend, ever since we were children. She knew when I was being stubborn, and she knew when I didn't want to budge.

"It's just that I KNOW he's lying to me. I know it."

CHAN
I stood just inside the building behind the quad and watched Luna. I could tell she was crying. I hadn't meant to be as rude as I was, but she didn't understand just how messed up I was. I wasn't good for anyone and she seemed like a good person that didn't deserve to be stuck with someone like me.

"Channnnn" I heard from behind me. Turning around I saw my friend Changbin coming up behind me.

"Hey, Bin" I said not being able to tear my eyes away from the girl in the quad.

"You still haven't been honest with her yet?" He put a hand on my shoulder and looked out the window.

"No, it's better if I'm not" I replied finally looking at him. "Trust me, I'm better off alone."

"Man, I know you've had it rough lately, but why don't you just get to know her?"

"No." I replied "I don't see any color with her anyway. What's the point?"

Changbin looked at me for a second like I was crazy. "Did you ever think that she could be good for you?"

"Nah, and I'm not good for her. Let's just leave it at that, Bin"

Chanbin rolled his eyes at me and walked away, "We're going to be late for class, dude. Hurry up"

LUNA
I'd been avoiding Chan like the plague. If I even remotely saw him somewhere I'd turn around and leave. I hated crying over boys, especially one that made me see flashes of red whenever he was nearby. I'd missed quite a few classes, but at least Bora was helping me in the two we had together. She'd explain the lectures and then turn in my homework for me. Leaving the dorm was dangerous. I knew he could be around any corner.

"Why can't the two of you just sit down and talk?" Bora asked one night while I scrolled endlessly through instagram and listeing to the thunder outside. It'd been raining all day with crazy amounts of thunder and lightning. Probably the beginning of a typhoon.

"Because he won't talk, he'll just give some smart ass comment and then make me try to guess what it meant. It won't go anywhere."

I rolled onto my side while still scrolling, trying to do anything but think about him. "What if I made him talk?" Bora asked.

"Good luck with that. He'll do the same thing to you he does with me. Goes around and round in circles like a damn merry go round"

"Why are you so negative?" Bora asked coming over and sitting on her bed across from mine.

"Because not all of us get to find our soulmates at 17, Bora! Some of us don't even know if someone is or isn't! Apparently I did something in my life that pissed someone off and they cursed me! I'm cursed! I get one damn color around him, and he sees nothing. NOTHING! And maybe he's lying, maybe he's not, but he'll never tell me! I doomed to be alone forever, ok?" I yelled getting up and slamming the door as I left the room. Bora didn't deserve how I acted, but I couldn't take it anymore. I hated the unknown, and I hated having my entire future hanging in the balance.

When I got to the door of my dorm I could see it was still raining really hard, but I didn't care. I needed the fresh air. As I stepped into the storm I walked out to the quad and lifted my face to the sky feeling the rain start to soak through my clothes. I took one deep breath after another letting the rain was away all of my negative feelings.

"What in the hell are you doing? There's lightning! Are you crazy?" I head Chan yell at me. Opening my eyes I looked at him, and then closed my eyes and put my head back again. "Luna! Honestly, are you wanting to get hit by lightning?"

Without moving or opening my eyes I yelled back "What do you care?"

I heard him take an exacerbated breath, "Just because we don't get along, that doesn' t mean I want you dead."

I opened my eyes and looked over at him "Why can't you just leave me alone? I get your message. You want nothing to do with me. I'll be alone forever. I get it. Go away."

Just as I finished my sentence a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

"LUNA!!!"
