LETTER TO LUNA
___________
Sugarhill, Harlem

LUNA GRIPPED ONTO HER UMBRELLA, as if she was scared to let go whilst walking to school she felt the wind hitting her neck every so often which made her curse herself for not wearing a scarf because it was starting to irritate her.

She knew it was raining which is why she brought an umbrella but she didn't think it would be this bad certainly her weather app lied.

Looking around there were many other children she recognized from her school who were running without an umbrella on trying their  best not to get soaked she laughed at them in her head "shoulda looked at the weather" is what she wanted to say to them but of course she didn't.

Walking into the building she closed her umbrella because she believed the whole "having your umbrella open inside is bad luck" shenanigan a lot of people called her immature for believing in good or bad luck but she didn't care at all.

Her first period class was American history and she hated it more than anything because whatever they spoke about was never really the facts it was always sugarcoated and she hated that they still sugarcoated in highschool.

"Hello Luna First in class as always" her teacher Mrs. Peters spoke drinking her coffee, Luna just smiled at her before going all the way to the back where she normally sits. Luna didn't really talk and she wasn't mute or anything like that she just never spoke unless spoken to and maybe that was the reason she didn't have any friends but what you've prolly already heard me say since you've began reading...she doesn't care.

As the room began filling up with students and it gotten louder Luna rushed to put her earphones in going straight to her "vibes" playlist tuning out the world pulling out her best friend.

Her journal.

She's had this journal since before she could talk, her father got it for her when she was a baby he had a journal too and he felt if he had one then so should his child.

The rusty pink journal that read "Luna Everglow" with different colors each letter was the only thing that really kept Luna sane and she didn't know what she would do if she ever lost it. Possibly die is what she'd say.

"Hi Luna" she heard a voice say as one of the songs she was listening to stopped playing, she looked up from her phone to see jaylen.

She wanted to roll her eyes but she knew better instead she forced a smile waving at him.

Jaylen had the biggest crush on her it was obvious and everyone knew but everyone also knew that she was not interested in him at all and she also made that clear without even trying to but hey he was just so desperate.

"Sooo....we're doing partners next period and I was wondering if you wanted to be my partner" he asked fidgeting with his fingers nervously, if she could stab herself right now she would.

"Why do i have to have 2nd period with him oh my fuck!" She thought

"Uhm...if the teachers don't pick our partners than sure I suppose" She forced out not wanting to be rude, he smiled cheerfully turning around and once he turned her smile dropped into a look of anger. She was pissed at herself  and was now dreading 2nd period more than anything in life

SLOWLY APPROACHING THE DOOR, for her 2nd period class she made thirty prayers and even plucked one of her eyelashes out to blow and make a wish that the teachers were assigning partners, she wished everything in the world that she didn't have to be partners with Jaylen.

As everyone sat in their seats the teacher who was her favorite teacher stood up, all she knew was that if he let them choose partners he was no longer her favorite teacher more so her least.

"Today class we'll be having partners for the project we are doing on the book we've been reading for weeks now The great Gatsby" he walked back and forth around the room as he talked, Luna wouldn't say she had a friend in this class but she definitely had someone she talked to here and there so she prayed if they did have to pick the girl would ask her first before Jaylen could.

Bouncing her leg up and down anxiously waiting for him to announce if they were choosing or not she began twisting her hair around tangling it, she did that a lot and it was a bad habit because then she'd have to take all the knots out and they hurt like a bitch.

"And I know you'll all probably hate me for this but I'm choosing partners, only because I actually want you guys to get a good grade and partnering with friends sometimes damages that" he explained, the breath Luna let out she felt it was the happiest day on earth and looking over at Jaylen you could tell he was hurt but that was least of her worries.

Her main focus was on who he'd be partnering her with.

As he said the names she waited for her name to be called while the room kept being filled with some cheers or groans when he called names.

"Luna everglow and Ethan Reyes" he called her name she popped her head up at that before looking for an ethan Reyes she had heard the name before but never really paid any mind to him I mean why should she..

"I'm Ethan...call me Notti tho" someone tapped her pulling a seat towards her making his presence known, Luna jumped a little at the touch before looking at the boy who was ethan.

She recognized him when he said Notti.

"Luna" her soft voice spoke up, scooting over a bit giving him space she glanced at Jaylen who had been looking at her his emotions were not hard to read at all he was definitely upset about this.

"Give me your number....we can talk more about the project after school" He told her pulling his phone out, she turned her eyes away from Jaylen and back at Ethan Aka Notti shifting her eyes to his phone she did as he asked.

Turning her attention back away from him she put her earphones in opening her journal, the boy kind of mugged her when she did that because she basically was ignoring his whole presence it wasn't intentional tho.

As her eyes focus was put on her journal and her journal only he took that as a chance to really look at her, not like he hasn't before he's been looking at her since the first day of school they were strangers of course but he knew who she was I mean almost everyone knew who Luna was at school.

It was no denying Notti had a crush on the girl, and when Notti wanted something he was gonna have it so them being partners really made it easier for him to get what he wanted and Luna was so clueless of it.
