LETTER TO LUNA
___________
Sugarhill, Harlem

EVER SINCE THE GATHERING AT DD AND NOTTI'S HOUSE LUNA AND NOTTI STILL WERENT HOW THEY USED TO BE. In fact it was almost like they were scared to talk to each-other scared to look at each-other or scared to touch each-other .

But they soon had to because their project was due next week. As well as the dance being literally this week .

"Notti I'm sorry and I want to make you the happiest boy alive and be your best friend agai- don't say that ur not proposing " Luna said in her mirror, she was acting out what she'd say to Notti today and it wasn't going well.

EVER SINCE , the gathering at his place she hadn't realized how much she actually missed Notti even though it was only like three or four days she realized she couldn't go on  that long without him.

"Notti let's go back to being friends- no that sounds un meaningful" She shook her head sighing— REALIZING practicing maybe wasn't the best idea and to just go with the flow Luna took a deep breath grabbing her phone as well as her tote bag getting ready to go to notti's home.

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

SHE INSTANTLY REGRETTED SHOWING UP ONCE SHE SAW HOW CROWDED THE BLOCK WAS . "Was this what Ddot meant when he said the block is hot?" She questioned to herself seeing it was a lot of boys standing around either smoking dancing or just being LOUD .

Gripping onto her phone, she decided she wasn't that brave to walk up to the group of boys so she just decided on texting Notti .

Thank you.

TAKING , a deep breath she sat on the steps of the house next to the deli bouncing her leg up and down she couldn't believe she was actually about to do this.

"What're you doing here?" Notti's voice could be heard a couple feet away from her as he had walked to where she asked him to meet.

Looking at his outfit he wore a grey Nike tech with sweats to match, two braids in his head as well as his favorite pair of shoes he always wore.

"Because I need to talk to you" she stood up walking close up to him, "I did something?!" He panicked thinking did he fuck something up again before he could even fix it.

"What? No!" She assured him

"So then...what's wrong?" He asked as they began just walking.

"I want to talk about that night" she put her hands in her coat, she could hear Notti gulp.

"You mean the night I practically embarrassed myself" He laughed she knew he was trying to make light of the very very awkward situation.

"No the night where I ran because I was too scared to say how I felt" she reworded what he said , his face scrunched .

He didn't think she ran because she was scared he thought she ran because she just didn't know how to turn him down in a nicer way.

"Im sorry for that by the way" she stopped in her tracks turning to face him, "like I'm really sorry I just-

"You don't have to apologize" he shook his head

"Yes I do Ethan." She argued back.

"You wanted me to TRUST you and I ran." She gave a small recap on the cold night. Notti hadn't said anything yet but she didn't care she needed to get this off her chest .

"COMMUNICATE; you always telling me to communicate yet I never do." She stated.

"If i would have just communicated with you instead of running we wouldn't be having this conversation so yes I do have to APOLOGIZE"

"Notti when you asked me if I trusted you...the answer was yes it's always been yes" she finally admitted ; Notti never felt better .

"So why did you run on me?" He asked , at this very moment Luna didn't have the guts  to tell him it was because she was in love with him.

Yeah her dad said he felt the same way but there was no way he actually knew that, and she wasn't taking that RISK she wasn't gonna risk loosing him again.

"I told you because I was scar-

"Yea but scared of what Luna" he asked, "did you think i wouldn't keep my promise?" He asked

"Y-yes" she lied, he didn't have to know the real reason just yet or ever.

"Well I wasn't lying.." he trailed off turning to look back to where his friends were.

"I know that"

"I just want us to go back to normal I don't like not speaking with you" she pleaded, Notti would be lying if he said he didn't want the same.

"We can do that" he agreed nodding

"On one condition tho" his one hand going in his pants as a habit the other one twisting his braid.

"What's that?" She asked kind of SCARED

"Go to the winter formal with ME" he asked her, something he'd been wanting to do since the day he planned on going .

"You want me- okay" She cut herself off agreeing.

"So we gotta deal?" He walked up to her pulling his hand out for her to shake, she just eyed it.

"Yea we have a deal" She nodded not shaking his hand, "we gotta shake on it to initiate it" he shook his hand rapidly for her to shake.

"I don't shake" she told him, he gave her his signature mug.

"What you do then?" He shook his head snickering, she pulled her hand out of her pocket pointing her pinky out.

"A pinky promise? U got it" he laughed thinking she was unserious, but his laughter soon stopped seeing she deadpanned him shaking her pinky.

"Mtch" smacking his teeth he looked the other way as he copied the action pointing out his PINKY .

Luna wrapped hers around his before bringing her hand up to her lips nudging him to do the same.

"Say you pinky swear" she told him, he realized how much he was actually head over hills for this girl because if it was anyone else he would have been left

"I pinky promise" he muttered .

"Cmon kiss it" she told him, as she kissed her hand as Notti slowly did the same before they both  let go.

"So we good?" She asked to be 100% sure, Notti nodded.

"Yea....WE GOOD."

LETTEE TO LUNA
