2 Chapter 2
Luna's POV
THE NEXT DAY WAS BETTER...AND WORSE. It was better because it was raining. I it was easier because I knew what expect of my day. All the people was standing at me again. Ughh...so annoying. I sat with Tylor and Emma again at lunch, without eating anything.
It was worse because Lucifer Mikaelson didn't come to school at all. His siblings was still staring at me of how I now that they were vampires. I don't know how or why I wanted the urge to be with Lucifer. The only reason to why it is, is that he's my mate. I don't know I should ask mom; since, she knows more about this than I do.
In Gym, I again won. But most of the girls didn't do anything; all they did was stare at me in awe while I play volleyball with the girls that don't really care about how I looked like and played with the boys; who tried to beat me.
All morning I wanted to forget about Lucifer, but I couldn't. Part of me wanted to comfort him and asked what his problem was.
But when I walked into the cafeteria with Tylor and Emma, I looked everywhere—I could only see his 4 siblings sitting at the table, but he wasn't with them.
Tylor interrupted us and steered at our table. Emma was just eating her food. While I just grabbed a book from Emma and started reading it. I tried to listen to the other table. I hoped he arrives and forget about whatever I did. But he didn't come.
Time pass by, and he still didn't come; I grew more and more tense.
I walked to Biology with the 'couples' when, by the end of lunch, he still didn't show up. Tylor and Emma, who was holding hands; was walking behind me to class. I stop at the door, but Lucifer wasn't there, either. I then went to my seat. The other 2 followed, talking about an upcoming trip to the beach. They lingered by my desk till the bell rang. They smiled at me wistfully and went to sit by their own desk. I still gonna have to talk with Mom about this 'mate' thingy.
I was relieved that I had the desk to myself, that Lucifer was absent. I told myself that repeatedly. But I couldn't get rid of the feeling that I wanted to be by his side so badly. It was ridiculous, and stupid, to think that I can effect anyone this badly. It was impossible. And yet I couldn't stop worrying that it was true.
When the school day was finally done, and I finished with gym, I changed quickly into my black ripped jeans and red hoodie. I hurried from the girls' locker room. I walked swiftly out to the parking lot. It was crowded now with fleeing students. I got in my car and dug through my pockets to make sure I had my phone.
Last night I'd discovered that Mom had our family history. So I'm gonna have to go through that later. Before talking about the mate thing.
I saw the Blacks getting into their car. It was the shiny new Volvo. I hadn't noticed their clothes——I was too caught up in the vampire thing. Now that I looked, it was obvious that they were all dressed exceptionally well; simply, but in clothes that subtly hinted as designer origins. With their remarkable good looks, the style with which they carried themselves, they could have worn dishrags and pulled it off. It seemed excessive for than to have both looks and money. But as far as I could tell, life worked that way most of the time. It didn't look as if it bought them any acceptance here.
They looked at me as I passed by them, just like everyone else. I kept my eyes straight forward and was relieved when I finally was free of the school grounds.
That reminds me, I still have to go grocery shopping. The Thriftway was not far from the school, just a few streets south, off the highway. It was nice to be inside the supermarket; it felt normal to me. The store was big enough inside that I couldn't really hear the tapping of the rain on the roof to remind me where I was.
When I gig home, I unloaded all the groceries, stuffing them in to their place. I then helped Mom with the cooking; we wrapped potatoes in foil and stuck them in the oven to bake, covered a steak in marinade and balanced it on top of a carton of eggs in the fridge.
When we were done with that, I took my stuff upstairs. Before starting my homework I changed into a pair of dry sweats and pulled my long hair in a bun. 'Wait where's my instruments, where did mom put them,?' I thought looking through my closet. I couldn't find my them, so I went down to ask Mom where they were at. Once I got down their, Mom was setting up the table for dinner, then she saw me come down.
"Oh, sweetie dinners almost ready," she said.
"Ok, but do you know where the my instruments at,? I can't find them," I said.
"Oh, we have another empty room, so I changed it to 'Music Room,' I put it in there."
"Oh ok, where's the room?"
"Go to the end of the hall, and turn right; you see a door that said 'Music Room'."
"Ok, thanks Mom," I said. I then went to where my Mom told me to go.
I did find a door that said 'Music room'; I went inside. The room was big. There was a huge window facing the piano and my guitar was on the corner on a stand. While my flute was in it's case on the shelf; where all my music book was at. My drums was behind the piano and the piano was at the side, my violin was in its case; on the shelf. My microphone was in the middle on the stand, the other instruments was either on the shelf or in the corner.
Thank goodness, everything is in here. I then walked out of the room. Since it's dinner time, I went and sat at the dining table and ate my dinner. After dinner, I helped Mom clean up. Then I went upstairs to begin working on my homework.
I had to read Wuthering Heights—the novel we were currently studying in English—yet again for the fun of it, and that's what I been doing when bedtime came. I lost tracked of the time, and I hurried to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair, after that, I went downstairs.
"Mom, I'm going to bed now, good night," I said.
"Ok honey, good night," she said back. Then I tiredly went upstairs to my room.
That night it was peaceful, I quickly fell asleep, exhausted.
The rest of the week was eventful kinda. I only said 'kinda' because Lucifer Black didn't come to school again. I really want to see him, touch him, feel him, and talk to him. But that's not gonna happen, cuz he's not coming to school. I also want to ask him why he keep appearing in my room? And I should also ask Mom why I feel crazy for him.
'Morning is here, great,' I thought sarcastically. It's Saturday today. So I got up did everything I need to do, I grabbed a book and then I went downstairs. When I got down, Mom is already setting up the table, Dad is watching tv, while Daniel is doing...what little brothers always do, and that is being annoying. I facepalmed my face of what Daniel was doing right now...I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway, I went to eat breakfast, looks like Mom made salad, homemade orange juice, eggs, and pancakes. Mmmm...looks so tasty.
After eating, I thought that I should go to the forest every Saturday and play on my instruments or sing every Sunday. 'Yeah, let's just go with that' I thought. This should be amazingly fun.
"Mom, I'm going to walk around the forest okay? Nature calls," I said.
"Okay, but next time we're gonna go together, all of us," she said, while cleaning.
"Okay Okay, I get it," I said, rolling my eyes, getting my book and heading out the doors, put on my earbuds and put on some music on my phone.
As I walked through the forest, I could smell the smell of nature everywhere. God I wished it snowed. But, it won't because, 1: it's summer, and 2: it's always sunny here. Feeling the sun on my face is both refreshing and relaxing, but still I really want it to snow. I like that it's sunny and hot, but I like the cold to. I guess it's because of our kinds. I walked deeper in the forest and I was surprised of what I just found. I found a place, Shadowy and really warm, just how I like it. There was 2 big tree, the sunlight wasn't really shiny there, and there was a long log there to sit or lay on and read there in the middle of the 2 trees, there was also a big crystal clear blue river. There was every kinds of colored roses, blue, red, white, you name it. It was so beautiful, almost looked like a field of rainbow near a shady tree by a the most crystal cleared blue river. After me admiring the beauty of the place, I went to the log under the tree. I sat on the log and I put my legs up. Right know, my legs are laying down and facing the other way, while my back is against the other tree. The place is not so tight, then I thought. It was a perfect fit for me to lay down/put my back against the tree. I opened my book and started reading it, while listening to songs/music. I've already know that 'someone' was watching me. Guess? So obvious. I just pretended not to know about it, I can't let anyone know what I am, until I told them or trusted enough, I may look like a human, but trust me I'm not. I was just reading there, listening to Music/Songs, being opened like an open book.
