The thing about astrology is that everyone has it up till they're eleven after that you get to choose. I chose to continue studying it but very few others did. We're just six students in the class. The others that had Astrology were: Tess, Celest, Ray, Leon and Oliver.

I hated the fact that Leon had astrology, it is not like he cares. The only thing Leon cares about is if a girl's boobs are bigger than her brains. Celeste was a sweet Aries girl, her mom was also part of the government and Ray was a virgo boy.

And well. Astrology cared a bit about compatibility so of course I sat next to Leon. I had Oliver and Tess behind me, while Celeste and Ray sat on the other side of the classroom.

"Hey, you remember this?" Leon showed me a picture on his phone.

It was from the spring. We were on a bench. He was sitting with my head in his lap, playing with my hair as I was laughing. I do remember that day. It was the first warm day of spring and we had decided to go out. While we were sitting on the bench Tess took the picture before talking to us. I felt all warm and fuzzy because of the memory. I couldn't believe it. I missed him.

"Yes I do remember. I also remember you using me." I replied coldly.

"Oh, come on Lu. Don't you miss this, us?" he asked, tilting his head. I Looked into his amber eyes. I felt that spark, the kind of spark that makes you feel like everything is okay and that only now matters. I could tell he wasn't lying, he actually wanted me back. I broke the eye contact and looked down. A tear escaped my eye slowly burning over my cheek. Leon must've noticed because he tilted my head up with his hand, while he took his other hand sleeve to wipe away the tears.

"I'll wait for you."

We stayed like that, looking into each others eyes. It wasn't like looking into Oliver's eyes, time didn't seem to stop. But it felt like some kind of bliss. Like I was supposed to be with Leon.

"Luna can I borrow a pencil?"

The voice of Oliver brought us out of the trence. Like I had lost my voice, I could not speak a word so I simply nodded and rummaged through my bag finding a pencil and handing it to Oliver. Not noticing the stare down that seemed to be going on between him and Leon.

Leon and I didn't talk throughout the rest of the lesson but we did glance at each other laughing when we caught each other doing it. It felt so right but so wrong. It was like if I stayed in this place, in this moment forever I would be happy. But if time moved just a second too fast everything would crumble.

After class as I was walking home Oliver came up to me.

"What's the deal with you and Leon?"

His question surprised me but something inside of me told me that I could tell him so I told him.

How Leon and I had been friends in kindergarten then grew apart after his mom left. And then how we reconnected and how we got together. How he broke my heart and moved on immediately. I guess that I had started crying because Oliver hugged me saying

"Don't worry, let it all out." and as his soft and caring words registered in my brain I lost it. My knees giving out, holding on to Oliver as my vision blurred and my eyes stinged. As my head began pounding and my chest heaved. Oliver still only held me, his shirt getting damp from my tears. He whispered in my ear how everything was going to be alright and how he was there for me. I shook my head at this, creating a space between us.

"You can't be there for me. You don't know me." I said in a bare whisper.

"Then I'll get to know you. Because I want to be there for you." he smiled.

" We can't."

"Bullshit. Who cares about it? We can hide."

"I Car-"

"Don't waste your time. I won't give up"

Oliver proceeded to tell me everything about him. How he was born in a refugee camp and how his parents had died from nuclear radiation. He told me about the desolated land outside of zodiac Island. A land that had been almost completely destroyed by nuclear wars and radiation. Apparently it had all started because a man with a hunger power started a war with another man far away. The war had desolated almost the entire planet. The only place that was practically untouched was Africa which was where Oliver had been born. He told me how he had been selected to get sent here. I felt more relaxed around him after that. So I told him some parts of my life. How I judged people quickly and resented people if only one in that group did me wrong. How I wished I could leave star city because of the struggles I face because of who I am. I wasn't sure why I told him everything but somehow I felt comfortable with Oliver. Like I knew he wouldn't tattle on me. Just before we parted Oliver spoke up "I know this isn't my place to say but I don't like it when you talk to Leon. I'm afraid he might hurt you." And with that he left. Leaving me astounded.

On monday I found a note inside my locker with a number on it.
