4 Hoodie

Luna's pov:

"Luna? What are you doing under the table?" he looked at her in surprise.

"I found it! My pen fell, sir".

"Okay, I think that you two did well. Go ahead and go home study hard. I will let you guys go for today." He takes his books and goes out of the classroom.

It is awkward. I don't want to talk about what happened earlier. We both walk out speechless.

"Tomorrow, take all your books out of the locker. Take the one under you it is mine. We are even today." He walks away.

What does he mean? I had to take the blame on myself.

This heartless jerk thinks that he acts nice to me!

"Idiot!" I shout at him, but he's too far to hear it.

****

"Luna, I leave the shop over to you. Close it in thirty minutes and go home safe." She smiles at me.

"Yes ma'am, you too."

"You have a customer here, Luna. He is good-looking and young! Bye," she winks at me and walks out.

I look up to see who it is. He is arching to get drinks out of the fridge.

Ugh... it's him again.

He walks toward me.

"Do you put your work before education?" He scratches his head.

I can see that he's looking for someone to talk to him.

"Is your life extremely boring that you have to be noisy about my life?" I scan his drinks and the crisp.

"Why do you answer me back with a question?" he glances at me and looks into my eyes.

"Do I have to answer your questions when you don't answer mine?"

I am not doing this on purpose, but he is irritating me.

"See, you're doing the same thing again."

"What do you want me to respond to you then?!"

"I heard rumors that you have a crush on me. Do you like me?"

"I -

*RING, RING

God. Saved by the phone call, I immediately answer.

"Hello, dad?"I can see Aiden's face shift when he heard me speak with my dad.

"Don't worry dad I will lock all the windows and doors. I understand... be safe dad." I put my phone away.

I look up and see, that Aiden is listening to our conversation.

"So? Are you going to answer my question?" He says while placing his stuff in a bag.

"You don't owe me any explanation. You should leave. I am closing the store, Aiden!" I give back his card and walk over to the other surface.

After a while, I looked up to see if he was gone.

"Thank god, he left."

I closed the shop and see that it began to rain heavily.

How am I going to get home?

I am shivering from the cold with my short-sleeved shirt and leggings.

I look around to see if anyone is around.

I look next to me on the floor and see that there's an umbrella along with a hoodie.

This is useful for me right now. I don't care, I will just take it.

When I put on the hoodie, I smell fragrant that I know. This is Aiden's hoodie. Did he leave on purpose?

Like he cares about me, huh?

He has the guts to annoy me then try to act nice... what a jerk.

I continued walking in the dark, raining, and scary night all by myself.

The next morning, I came early to class. I couldn't sleep yesterday because I was scared like always.

"So I am not the only one that came early today? Your texts kept me awake the whole night. If you couldn't sleep, you had to come to our house." She lets her fall on the table.

"I am sorry. You know I am a scary cat?" I look at her miserable.

"Gosh! You scared me with your face." She puts her hand on her heart.

"By the way, are you wearing Aiden's hoodie?"

"Huh? How do you know?" I reply.

"I normally see him wearing it often. You know how expensive this kind of hoodie is?" It's like he knows what we're talking about and walks into the classroom.

Aiden's pov:

I could hear them talking about the hoodie in the hallway.

I don't want Luna to give back the hoodie to me since she is wearing it now in the class. People will look weird if I ask it back from her during school.

I take a seat next to her, take out my books, and pretend to study hard.

I see her taking off the hoodie in my eye corner.

She moves it next to me and rests her head on the table.

"You should keep it... I don't want to have it anymore." I place it on her lap to cover her legs.

"Are you placing it on my lap because I am wearing a skirt? So you are saying that my skirt is too short or something?" She stands up.

"Here, I don't need this... cover it up with your face, you jerk!" She throws it in my face.

******

During break time, I was going to get books out of the locker.

I saw her again with the same dude from last time.

"Hahaha.... please don't say that." she laughs.

"No, seriously my mum asked me to do that," he says.

I recognize this voice, it's Davis.

How do they know each other? And when did they become this close?

I slam her old locker open and see that her books are still in there. I take it out and throw it on the ground.

"What's that noise?" Davis and Luna turn around.

"What are do you think you're doing, Aiden!" She runs and picks up the books one by one.

"I told you to clear the locker before I use it, right?"

Davis walks towards me and grabs me by my collar.

"Is this how you behave towards every girl. You never change yourself do you?" He holds my collar tighter.

I take his hands off me and push him away from me.

"And what are you going to do about it, Davis? Are you going to punch me in the face like the last time, huh?"

He takes steps toward me and brings out his fist.

"Stop boys!" Luna comes between us.

"Hey, what's going on with you two boys?" One of the teachers comes out of the office.

"Nothing sir, just talking like men," Davis responds and takes a step back from me.

"Good! I don't want the same thing to happen as the last year. Go back to your classes."

"Yes, sir!" We both reply and he walks back to his office.

"I need to head out Luna, go back to the classroom," Davis tells her.

Why is he acting up as if he cares about her?

Why am I even thinking about her? I need to see my therapist. I shook my head.

"Why are you acting childish, Aiden?" She comes to me looking serious.

"Why do you suddenly act up and pretend to care about me? Do you hate me this mu-

I couldn't hear more and walk ahead.

"Hey, I am talking to you jerk!" She shouts.

"Tomorrow, there will be a history exam. Do not forget to study hard. You can use the library for the whole day but stay quiet." said Mr. Josh our headteacher.

After I got out of class, I headed straight toward the library.

"Do you know where I can get any history books?"

"Oh... It's on the third-floor sweetheart." She smiles at me.

I look confused at her and thank her.

I open the door on the third floor and look around for some books.

Meanwhile, I saw two boys from my old class laughing hard and point at something in the corner.

I pretended to look for books and listen to what they were whispering at each other.

"You know that girl over there, she's kinda hot. Don't you think Sebastian?"

"Nah... she is not my style. We are too good for her. Look at her she's sitting on that dirty floor." He says to the other boy.

"Okay, let us make a bet. Convince her to go out with you and then dump her in front of the crowd. One more thing, you have to hook up with her and you don't have to worry about making your homework for a month. You know I never do my homework, Jimmy?" He looks at him.

I can't stand those jerks either would Luna believe me if I tell her about it.

One of the boys goes to her and gives her a folded paper.

"Make sure you read it pretty." He says.

"Excuse me, are you talking to me?" She answered back innocently.

He winks at her and says,

"I surely do."

I can see her smiling shy away.

"Bro, well done. The only thing that's left is, that you have to text her later and make it out with her on the weekend which is tomorrow" they both laugh.

I glance at them with my devil eyes.

"Is that not Aiden?" I hear them whispering while walking away from me.

What am I going to do to prevent this from happening?
