LETTER TO LUNA
___________
Sugarhill, Harlem

SCRUNCHING HER FACE LUNA STARED
as her text with Notti kept going to delivered; what was he doing and why wasn't he answering her ?

"dd where's your brother? He isn't answering me" she asked the boy after running INTO him in the halls.

"Detention" he told her laughing as her face went from confused to angry.

"His dumbASS" she shoved her phone in her back pocket crossing her arms huffing , now she had to spend her lunch and classes alone.

"What did he do?" She asked as dd typed away on his phone looking very intrigued by whoever he was texting .

"Uhhhh oh he punched this boy" he looked up from his phone at her , her jaw dropped .

"Punched- what did the boy do?!"she asked shocked .

"Can't tell you that" he smirked at her, her eyes SQUINTED at whatever the boy was hiding .

"Just don't flip when you see him" he told her beforehand, what did he mean by that?

"What you mean don't flip!?" She started to FLIP . "The fight was wild-

"He lost?!" She grabbed her heart.

"What- no but bro did get a hit in...he look worse than Notti" he told her, Luna didn't know but dd was actually on the phone texting his gc about catching the boy when he was LACKING .

"He doesn't have a black eye does he?" She panicked

"Nah just like a cut on his lips and stuff" he touched his lip telling .

"But yea he gone be in detention all day..." he told her, it felt like her world was COLLAPSING

"You'll live Luna." He patted her shoulder before walking away from her .

Now that her BOYFRIEND was in detention, DDOT wasn't at school, DD had no classes with her and JANELYS didn't go there she was lonely and bored.

Before she MET them she didn't mind being alone she ACTUALLY loved it , but now she couldn't imagine being apart from them ESPECIALLY Notti .

Swiping she went to her messages with JANELYS

SEEN

SHOVING , her phone into her back pocket
she gripped onto her light pink bookbag looking at the teenagers in the crowded hall way—trying to come up with a smart plan. THOUGH she's never gotten detention before , she would always help the teachers with cleaning the room up so she knew where it was.

As if a lightbulb popped up over top of her head, an IDEA came to mind. She knew the classroom for detention had a big window and the classroom was also in the back of the school.

"K Luna...no turning back now" she spoke to herself WALKING the opposite direction of her class, but instead to the back doors that lead to the parking lot behind her school— it was always empty tho.

RISKING a phone call home and possibly detention for Notti didn't cross her mind because she truly wasn't thinking of that right now. She was yelling YOLO in her head.

Seeing the classroom window she saw Notti who had his hood on and his head leaned on the wall as he was the ONLY one in the class. A teacher was there also but she was making her way out the classroom possibly to use the bathroom so Luna took her chance .

Running towards the door she tapped it lightly, ducking so no TEACHERS saw.

"Ethan!" She whisper yelled as she hit the window, Notti turned thinking he was just hearing things squinting his eyes at the window .

"Nottiiii" she whisper sang tapping the window, this time he SAW her and his eyes grew wide looking back at the open door then at her as he hurried out his seat.

"Luna what're you doing?" He sped to the window saying, Luna got a CLOSER look at his face and she didn't like it.

"Breaking you out" She tried pushing the window open, sitting her bookbag down since she was so short she stepped on it.

"Nah you pose' to be in health class right now" he told her looking at his Apple Watch but still helping her open the window since she was struggling .

"Notti I'm breaking you outta detention and we're gonna skip" she hissed at him because he was being DIFFICULT.

"Why you tryna break me outta detention yo?" He laughed now that the window was fully opened, looking back to make sure no teachers were coming.

"Remember you snuck me out?"

"Yea" he nodded

"This is me paying you back" She smirked, gripping his hand to help him out the window .

"YA POPS WONT BE MAD?"
Notti asked as they ran away from the school HAND & HAND . "Nah be prolly will;  but this worth it" she shrugged .

Notti smirked wrapping his arm around the girls shoulders quickly pecking her lips, but she pushed him his face went into CONFUSION

"Nah why you ducking my kisses mami?" He eyed her .

"Who did that to your face" she pointed at his face which had a cut lip and cuts near his nose and eyes .

Fuck was he fighting a cat?

"Don't  worry bout it" he shoo'ed her hand away continuing to WALK. 

"Nah ima worry you looking like you just got outta a cat fight with simba" she grabbed his face saying, he chuckled .

"You got jokes" he hummed facing her .

"No I'm being serious why didn't the nurses or anyone  help you...and what happen!?" She asked

"I ain't want the nursers help, it ain't dat bad" they began walking up the steps into Luna's home .

"It is that bad stupid" she smacked her teeth shutting her front door behind her, both dropping their book bags down at the front door .

BAD IDEA.

"Come here" she pulled his arm up her steps

"You gone be my nurse?" He smirked moving his eyebrows making her playfully gag.

"You gonna tell me why you were fighting while I help you?" She asked sitting him on her bed as she went in her cabinets to grab her pink first AID kit.

"first off dd's a snitch, second why you wanna know so bad it's not that serious" he told her watching her EVERY move.

" I wanna know so bad because I'm your girlfriend and should know" she turned now that she found it walking towards him standing in between his legs she lifted his head up not GENTLE at all.

"I'm not Morgan You'on gotta man handle me" he gripped her waist saying , she rolled her eyes wiping the blood that was on his lip and nose .

"You really wanna know what happen?" He asked her seeing her face. "Uhm yea" she grabbed Neosporin placing it on his wound he HISSED.

"Ight so...wait lemme get a kiss then ima tell you" he smirked at the girl "Notti." She huffed rolling her eyes

SEEING he really wasn't gonna tell her without a kiss she leaned down to give him a peck, "that was not a kiss" he shook his head .

"Tell me the story and I'll give you a real one" She now smirked .

"Ight bro, basically me and dd and my friend mir was chilling and shi and this nigga come up to me on some hot shit" he explained playing with his hands .

"What was he saying-

"Ion wanna say it Lou cuz then ima get mad again" He smacked his teeth as she put a band-aid on his nose .

"Just tell me...you can tell me anything" she looked at him in his eyes saying .

"Yea but it was about you" he admitted looking down , her eyebrows furrowed .

"What he say?" She asked irritation laced in her tone, she didn't even know the boy but he was speaking bad on her.

"He was lying on you so it don't even matter" he tried to change the subject

"If it's about me I wanna know" she crossed her arms staring at him, he stared back .

"Ight Luna...he was saying shit like you fucked every nigga in Sugarhill and was being mad weird I'm not saying the other shit cuz ima get hot" he scooted away from her a bit.

She wasn't gonna PRESSURE him to say anything else , seeing it really bothered him.

"So I decked bro and next time I see him I'm smacking him he just mad cause he wanted you" he assured her as she went to put her things back.

"Yea well he can't have me so it don't even matter" Luna sat next to him on the bed, a smile crept up onto Notti's face at that.

"I can get that kiss now?" He asked as she scooted back in her bed almost hitting  her headboard .

"I don't knowwwww" she smirked dragging the "w". Notti got closer to her also almost hitting the headboard as he pulled her leg over top of his.

It was now 2:15 they'd be in their last period class rn, atleast LUNA would.

"I think I'm a bad influence on you" he told as their faces were close to eachother, she giggled at that.

"I disagree" she smiled scooting closer to him, "before you met me you was sneaking out and skipping school?" He asked moving her curly hair out of her face.

"No but- okay maybe you are a bad influence but they're always for good cost" she looked down at his lips then back at him.

"So can I kiss you?" He asked, he didn't wanna just KISS her if she wasn't okay with it.

"You don't have to ask to kiss me" she nodded , he laughed going to kiss her lips tasting her strawberry CHAPSTICK .

Pulling her waist so she was closer to him, she ended up climbing on top so they were both COMFORTABLE , wrapping her arms around his neck deepening the kiss .

Everytime the two KISSED it felt like it was their first time again, their lips together never got old HOPEFULLY it never will .

Hearing the ALARM to her front door go off Luna's eyes widened climbing off of a DAZED Notti .

"Bro- my dad" She whisper yelled as the two hopped out of bed— beginning to panic they looked around the room trying to find a hiding  spot for him .

"Under the bed" She pulled him to the floor pushing him under her bed as he rolled , "Luna stop pushing me I'm already under" he whisper yelled at her . 

The FOOTSTEPS of her father had gotten closer , she hopped on her bed taking her hair out of her bun and messing it around as if she had just woken up whilst holding her stomach.

"Luna Celine you must've lost your fucking min-

"Dad...I was gonna tell you but I was just so sick I've been throwing up" she held her stomach scrunching her face up— Notti had been covering his mouth under the bed as he saw her dads SHOES.

"Oh really?" He asked crossing his arms, she nodded .

"Yea like...i don't know i think you gotta go to rite aid or something" she tossed and turned .

"I might throw up again daddy" she whined , he just eyed her.

"You have a fever or something?" He asked as if he believed her.

"I might have the flu-" she fake coughed

"Stay back" she sneezed wiping her nose.

"So if you have the flu why is Ethan here?" He asked, she looked up confused .

"Where do you see Ethan?" She asked .

"You so happen to just bring a red bookbag home?" He squinted his eyes, she rolled her eyes at her and Ethan's STUPIDNESS .

"And since when are your feet that big?" He pointed at black crocs that were on the side of the bed, Ethan's cheeks grew a shade of RED .

HITTING her bed he took that as que to roll out, which he SLOWLY did— apart of him was scared lucas would yank him out , standing off her bed Luna played with her fingers nervously as Notti hopped up standing across from her dad.

Lucas STARED at the two young teens, he was somewhat scared and also amused , looking at his daughter and how she didn't make eye contact with him he spoke to NOTTI.

" why're you here?" He asked the boy who was swinging side to side .

"You see lou called me said she was sick-

"That she's sick lie AINT gone work I want the truth , cuz if I don't get it you and Luna possibly won't see eachother again" he threatened though he was lying.

"Dad! That's not fai-

"I'm not talking to you Luna Celine." He looked at her sternly .

"Matter fact...Ethan c'mere" he waved the boy out of the room, Luna and Notti both shared the same LOOK .

"I LIKE YOU ETHAN"
Luna's father told him, his arms crossed as he stared sternly at the boy this made Notti a tad bit CALMER .

"But just cuz I like you don't mean I'll allow my daughter to keep seeing you if this is her BEHAVIOR when with you" he finished , Notti grew upset at that.

"I don't mean to disrespect you...but if you decide to keep Luna away from me sir- I'm telling you now I'll find every way to still be with her" he truthfully told, Lucas eyebrows furrowed at this.

"And I rather let you know that now then find out on your own. I'm not letting anybody or anything get in the way of our RELATIONSHIP anymore"

"And I'm sorry for her sneaking and skipping I'll make sure that never happens again I promise" he finished GULPING .

"You got some balls, cuz when I was ya age i would never tell a girls father that...but that just shows you really care for my girl" He didn't get mad at what Notti told him, mainly because he wasn't hiding it.

"I just really like ya daughter" she shoved his hands in his pockets— "but...I think I better go tho cuz since you found out I know my moms did and...." His eyes widened knowing the trouble he was gonna get in.

"She loco" he joked

"Luna stop a SNOOPING" Lucas banged on Luna's door causing the girl to jump and scream brings that she was listening through the door.

"Aye...how you know that?" Notti laughed confused .

"I know my child" was all he said as him and Notti made their way downstairs , "but be safe kid text Luna when you get home" he told him.

"For sure" he grabbed his bookbag .

"I can give my girl a kiss bye th-

"Ight u getting besides yaself" he nudged a laughing Notti out the DOOR .
