2 Lost

Aiden's pov:

"Aiden go to school. Have good grades and don't let me down!" Says my dad.

I just look disgraced at him and walk away.

"You rude kid! I have done what you asked me. I changed your class for your last year's semester. I want you to go to the best university and become a businessman like me. Look how successful I am right now. I can have everything I want." proudly he says.

I stop walking and turn in his direction.

I don't need fame or being a successful businessman like you. Just take care of yourself dad... I am good on my own.

I take my school bag and slam the door behind. He is cursing at me.

This is what I have to go through every day. He wants me to become like him.

Same damn talk every day. I am tired of that.

I have my driver waiting for me. My dad keeps an eye on me wherever I go. I feel imprisoned.

The moment I arrive at school, I walk to the reception and ask for my new classroom.

"Your first period is in class 33B. It is on your left side. Do you want me to bring you?" She stands up and comes next to me.

No... Uhm... I know the school.

I walk off.

I can hear them talk about my appearance.

Most people see me as good-looking, others call me heartless and cold. I'm called every kind of name, but no one calls me by my name.

I don't honestly care about them.

I walk in the hall and see some girls going to their lockers while giggling and staring.

"Omg! That's Aiden" I feel fingers pointed at me.

"Hey! Uhm... can I have your number?" Comes one of the girls with her phone.

I look at her for a second and walk away.

"Wow! He's soo cool" I hear from a distance.

I don't understand how people ask me for my number when they don't even know me.

I see my friend walking towards me.

"Hey, Aiden! I am not your classmate anymore... next door bro. If you need anything call me or

text" he touches my shoulder.

"I heard someone else is joining your class today. Anyways I will come to you when I finish my lessons. See you!" He waves at me.

Bye, Joey.

He is my only friend that knows me the best and calls my name.

I walk to the door. When I try to open it... I see another hand next to my hand.

I look up.

"I don't think this year will be your best year, Aiden," he says.

Before I could answer him, the door opens.

"Come in guys," the teacher tells us.

When I stepped in I felt everyone's eyes on me.

Most students started to chatter and laugh hard while others were jumping up and down from

joy.

"Shhhh... everyone shush your mouth! Boys introduce yourselves, please."

Luna's pov:

I still can't believe my eyes, Mia. Pinch me, please. I close my eyes to feel the pain.

"Shhhh... everyone shush your mouth! Boys introduce yourselves, please" our teacher is a bit annoyed.

"Hi girls, I mean everyone. My name is Davis... call me Dave or handsome one ladies" he looks at me and winks.

"I am Aiden." That's the only thing he says.

Is he shy?

"Okay. Thank you, boys. Give warm applause to our handsome boys in the class. Take a seat in one of the empty sea-"

Before he finished his words, Aiden walks towards me and takes a seat beside the table next to mine on the left side. He looks out the window.

I put my head down on my table and look to the right.

Why me?

Then I see Davis taking a seat on my right side.

I sit up straight, take my book out nervously and start drawing. "This year is going to be amazing, Luna," says, mia happy.

****

"That was it for today. Don't forget! Tomorrow we to go to a museum. Come 30 minutes then usually. When we go back to class, I am going to make new table groups for this year. You can go now." The teacher tries his best to be loud, but everyone is packing up and leaving the class. I walk with my friends to the lockers.

"What did you say you have to get again, Luna?"

My history books remember. I walk to my locker.

"You should change your locker, girl... it's higher than you," says, Beth busy with herself putting on make-up.

Everyone has already one. It's not like someone would change it with mine, Beth.

I throw my English book inside.

Beth, can you see my history book. She takes some distance from the lockers.

"In the corner on the right side", she continues putting on make-up.

I stand on my toes, looking up, trying to reach for the book. When I touch a bit of the book with

struggle, suddenly I feel a hand on my hand.

It feels strong and warm. I turn around while holding the book.

Unbelievable... I am speechless.

It's Aiden.

I look up since his clear head is taller than me, and our eyes meet.

I know...I'm always obsessed with him.

This time it's different though, I can't move my body.

Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum...

My heartbeat goes faster... I can't breathe.

Gasping for air...

"Hey, Aiden over here, bro"

He turns around. Out of schock, we both drop the book.

It falls on my head.

Aww!

"Luna, are you okay?" They run to me. I bend down.

When I looked up, he was gone.

"What's going?" Surprisingly they ask. I didn't know how to explain, so I shook my head.

Aiden's pov:

"Aiden, wake up!" My door is slammed open.

That wakes me up.

"Are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to take revenge?" he beats the wall.

Uhm... my alarm didn't go off-

"Now hurry up the driver is here!"

When he got out, I sighed. My dad is scary sometimes.

If my mom had never left me behind, I would not be treated this way by him. She would never let

he is like this, but she is now with another family.

I can't believe she left me here all alone. Now I have nobody that cares about me.

I get up, changed into my uniform, and go downstairs.

"Sweety, I made you breakfast. Take this to school and this one-"

I didn't ask you to make breakfast. Have it all by yourself.

I take water out of the fridge.

*SLAP!

I feel the slap on my face.

"How dare you talk to your mother like that?!" He grabs my collar tight.

She might be your second wife, but she is not my mother! I reply

"You stupid kid-"

I closed my eyes to make myself ready for another slap, but she comes in between us.

"Stop! Tony, please! Try to understand him... he went through a lot." She takes his hands off me and separates us.

"Aiden, go to school" she gives me my bag.

I take it aggressively and slam the door.

"Young man, where do you want to go?"

Just drive me to the museum near my school.

"As you wish."

Luna's pov:

*Ring ring

The light coming through the curtain is shining in my face. I open up my

eyes and hear the phone ring.

"Hello, where are you, Luna? You're soo late. We were knocking on the door for a while, but no

one answered. Look at the time!" Mia screams on the line.

When I look at the time... I see that I am late for school.

Go without me. I will come on my own. I answer

"Don't forget to be in the museum near our school. I will make an excuse for you."

Thanks, you're the best. I throw my phone on the bed and run out.

Dad, why did you-

Dad?

Where did he go?

He's not in his room.

I don't have time for this. I run to the toilet. There is notepaper left behind in the bathroom.

"I will be going somewhere today. Don't be late for school, sweety. Take your breakfast out of

the fridge. Loves dad."

No... why do I have to see this late?

After I washed up, I went back to my room to put on my uniform. Today is nice weather to wear a skirt.

I put on light make-up quickly, take my food and run as fast as I can.

Minutes of walking, I come into a place where the roadsides looked unfamiliar. The street is dead silent.

Have I lost the road? Let me check the address.

I scratch my head.

I mumble to myself, "what have I done to be at this foreign place. I don't even see people here.

Omg, I hate this kind of situation."

So I continued my journey without having any idea about where I will be going.

It did not take a second when I heard footsteps behind me.

The footsteps come closer to me, but I try not to look.

Gasping for air... Luna speeds up.

Luna pressed the books to her chest and turned the corner.

She was walking rather quickly and lost deep in thought, she didn't even seem to notice the things around her.

She then looked up to see a boy, at least one step in front of her, obscuring her path.

Her eyes widened as her feet stumbled over his and her books fell to the floor in a clatter.

"Woah, sorry I-" he rushed into an apology as his hand wrapped around Luna's waist and held her there, safe from falling, their eyes met for a moment, then Luna forced herself to look away as her cheeks flushed bright red.
