Lying for Convenience
I was aware Bernard only said it as a joke, but the memory of Kai barging inside the bathroom popped up in my mind. I could feel my face and ears heat up at the thought. I know it wasn’t an extreme situation, but ever since I became mortal, and a teenage one at that, I had become very conscious of my body and the things around me.
Awkward silence hung in the air. I gritted my teeth in both embarrassment and frustration. In my previous life, nobody would dare make me the center of a joke (apart from my siblings). But then again, I used to not mind it and everyone else kept their distance because of my status.
But…
I was currently Luna. I was mortal and I had weird friends. Bernard most of all loved teasing us the moment he was given the chance.
