Chapter 1: Haunted Dreams

"Lunaaaa!" my mom called "Ella is here."

 

"Thanks Mrs. Lanaster, I'll just head up there!" Ella said.

 

As I laid in bed I could hear my mom yelling, I figured it was because Ella was here, so I finally got up and decided to shower before school. I was getting in the shower and Ella came in to my room I could hear her going through my drawers, and then my closet. When I was finishing up conditoning my hair I heard a loud crash coming from my room, I finished my shower and walked out into my room from my bathroom. My room was nothing special it was semi large with maroon walls and a painting of the night sky on my celing, I had painted it my self last year for the fun of it, I'd always loved art. The bathroom had a nice shower and a mirrior big enough to show at least 5 people, which i didn't need. But other than that it was simple just like me.

 

 Finally I wrapped my self in my towel and walked out to see the comotion that was taking place in my room. Of course it was Ella, she was looking through my closet and my snowboard fell from the shelf above my clothes, she was shoving it back up there as I was wondering out. She had already laid an outfit for me on my bed, she always picked out my clothes. I guess ever since the 5th grade she had been, before then I just wore the overalls that my mom bought me, they were easy. I don't think I would have made it this far in high school if it weren't for her, she made purpose to looking decent, it was more a self esteem thing for her, it made her feel better to look good. Once I made sure everything was okay I walked over to the bed and grabbed the clothes, they were a pair of black skinny jeans with a grey tank top, my black cardigan then a simple black and grey scarf. Of course she also had picked my shoes they were black UGG like boots but they weren't UGGs. They had fur on the top of them that was white and grey too, so they matched really well. I threw my hair up grabbed my purse then Ella and I were off to school.

 

Ella always drove, I hadn't gotten a car yet my mom wanted me to wait until I could pay for some of it on my own, which I liked because then it'd kind of be mine, if that makes sense.  I wanted to wait anyways Ella had to get a job over the summer just to pay for gas. That's why she has a car, her parents made her work to drive it basically just like my parents.  I'd saved a bit of money to get my self a car, even though i really loved getting rides from Ella. She was so fun and her car was awesome it was a 2004 Madza 3, it was definetly old seeing as its 2020 but it was still nice, it was a year younger than we were and Ella was happy with it. As we drove we listened to our favorite music, the artists name was Wildlight, the singer Ayla, has a beautiful voice and such deep lyrics. Then right in the middle of the song it shut off, I opened my eyes to see why, and of course we were stopped in our school parking lot.

 

"Ugghhh." I groned, "Why'd you shut that off, I was so not done listening!?"

 

"Dude, were gonna be super late its already 7:53 and class starts at 8:00! We have like 7 minutes."

 

"Ok, ok fine! I was just super in the moment. Sorry you know how that song gets me". I blinked my eyes trying to be cute but she just laughed and puched me in the arm.

 

"Lets go!" she said right after punching me.

 

When we finally got out I slightly rubbed my arm, Ella doesn't know her own strength sometimes. Ella and I have had the same exact schedual since our freshman year. Her Aunt Hilda was the principle here at Moonshadow. I've always really liked the name of our school because I've always loved the moon, my mom said it was because my name is Luna. She says she named me that because when I was being born the sun was setting and there was a big bright full moon in the sky. Everyone had gone outside to look at it and most kids were already outside due to the fact it was Halloween that night. But anyways, Ella and I's first class was about to start, so we rushed into the doors and through the halls to Science with Mr. Cripps. He was such a great science teacher and knew alot more about the world than most people did, which was important for me to know, he may be someone i can go to if i ever needed help finding something out. He had been our science teacher since freshman year, now we were Juniors, next year would be our last year here, and honestly the thought was saddening. I'd spent the majority of my teenage life in this building, and still hadn't had a boyfriend, my first kiss or even been to a real party. The bell rang and I jumped up to grab Ella, I had been contemplating in science on weather or not to get breakfast, our high school has a breakfast and lunch period. Its just easier to eat breakfast at school I guess, so we shot up and I asked her in the hall if she wanted to go, of course she said yes, Ella was literally always hungry.

 

"Come on Luna!" Ella said tugging me along.

 

"I'm coming! Just let me stop and put my Science book in my locker?" I responded

 

"K fine, but hurry up!"

 

"I will" I shouted from a small distance.

 

I finally got to my locker not far from where Ella was but kind of a ways, I looked back at her to see if she was still there, waiting for me, and she was. She was taking to Jake who is a senior but he didn't act like one, most of them just ignored the lower classmen, and pretended they weren't there, but not Jake he was nice to us he noticed us, made us feel like we fit in somewhere. I started walking towards them when; "Slam!" out of no where I was struck with the force of someone else, I looked up only to she the most amazing man I've ever laid eyes on. He was tall with shaggy brown hair, light pale skin and sparkling green eyes that had me melting. I stood up after I collected most of my stuff, then I looked up and saw him handing me some stuff that had fallen out of my un-zipped purse. He handed me my Science notebook, and I felt his hand brush against mine, a rush of warmth flew through my body, then suddenly out of no where I was at breakfast with Ella like it'd never happened.

 

Who was that who bumped into me in the hall? I asked Ella as we sat at our table.

 

"I don't know, I think he just moved here, Jake said something about him when he ran into you."

 

"So you did see him run into me?" I questioned

 

"Yeah it was really weird to, for a second after you acted like it never happened, the whole time we walked here you were just silent, the only thing you said was that you were hungry."

 

"Then I asked what him running into you was about, then you asked when you got ran into."

 

"That is weird, I remember now..."

 

"Good you should he was super dreamy." Ella said with a chuckle

 

I thought really hard about him running into me trying to remember if he said anything to me while I was lost in his amazing green eyes. So far I've come up with nothing, I can't remember anything but falling, him brushing my arm, and then nothing after that. As we ate our breakfast Jake and Ella talked about the Science project due next month, Jake and Ella were partners, Mr. Cripps was nice enough to let us pick out our own, I thought Ella was going to be my partner, but I was gone the day he let us pick them so she chose Jake, which I don't balme her I wasn't even here. So that left me alone, Mr. Cripps class always had an odd number which left Mr. Cripps him self to be my partner. He always worked with a student if there wasn't enough to pair up. I didn't mind working with him or by my self for that matter it was nice knowing i was in full control of my own project. As they talked I just sat thinking to my self who is that guy, why did he run into me, wasn't he freaking paying attention? But that soon came to an end when Ella kept saying my name, the less I responded the louder she got.

 

"LUNAAAA, LUNAAAAA HELLO LUNA, there he is!!!"

 

"What, ELLA!" I snapped

 

"There he is the guy who bumped into you! Duh."

 

I looked up to see a very tall
