Girls hangout

The next day was a Saturday and was a no school day, Luna had breakfast with her brother who happens to have something on at the company and left. Luna was all alone at home and has been sleeping for while before waking up.

Sitting on the couch at their living room,she felt very bored. She recalled the incidence of yesterday and the prince charming who had helped her out, she had already washed his jacket and packed it up planning to return it at school. She knew that he was SPARKLING'S Jason and was rumored to be cold and unfeeling but he wasn't, he was clearly a good person and had helped her so much yesterday. Luna thought to herself. She picked up her song book scribbling down the lyrics of the yesterday song and singing it with her immaculate voice. She couldn't help but love the song knowing that it would be a perfect song after being produced, she really looked forward to SPARKLING singing the song she had partly written.

Luna was good at writing songs, she has written a fair share of songs in her song book, just that she hasn't had the opportunity to produce any of it but as she was in Star Academy now, she believed that if she worked hard and debuted, then the world would hear her songs and her story. One of Luna's masterpiece was her song titled My Dreams, she wrote the song when she was fifteen, the song has encouraged her all this while to hold tight to her dreams and never give up on it, whenever she felt wronged or tired, she would sing the song and would get a new energy to continue pushing. Also the presence of her loving and caring brother who has always encouraged and loved her unconditionally has also been of great help to her. Now she was at Star Academy, she's one step to her dream, Luna sat at the couch in the living room lost in thoughts.

The door bell rang and Luna rushed to open the door thinking it was her brother but on opening the door it wasn't him but Melissa, her neighbor and new friend.

Hey Luna, what's up? Melissa greeted happily entering the house. Am good , you? Luna replied.

Am good too, well,our outing is today and am here to get you, so go get dressed, I have a couple of idea places for this hangout, we can check it out and decide where to go, Melissa said urging Luna to her room to dress up.

Luna got ready, she wore a soft pink sweater, white jeans, and black sandal. Her straight hair fell down her back, and she smiled brightly. Melissa wore a graphic tee, ripped jeans, and gray sneakers, with a black jacket and colorful hair clips. Both friends looked relaxed and ready for a fun afternoon together!

Let's go, I will give my brother a call to inform him, Luna said taking out her phone to call her brother. Hello brother,am going out to have fun with Melissa , alright I will text you the address when we get there, Luna said ending the call.

Your brother is so caring, am so jealous right now, Melissa complained. Well here is a list of places, we can go to the amusement park, cinema or we can go have hotspot, what do you think? Melissa asked as the left the neighborhood.

Let's go to the amusement park, I haven't been there for a while now.

You really choose the amusement park! Are you a baby Luna?

You suggested it, I just choosed from your suggestions, Luna retorted.

Ok ok, let's go then. The girls took a taxi to Dreamworld amusement park, one of the best amusement park in Greenville.As they arrived at Dreamworld Amusement Park, Luna and Melissa's eyes widened with excitement. They spent the day screaming with delight on roller coasters, indulging in sweet treats like cotton candy and funnel cakes, and laughing together at the silly antics of the park's costumed characters.

After a thrilling ride on the park's newest attraction, the "Sky Screamer," they stumbled upon a games stall and engaged in a friendly competition of balloon darts, with Luna emerging victorious. As the sun began to set, they settled down on a grassy hill to watch the nighttime spectacular, a dazzling display of fireworks and laser lights that left them both in awe.

As they left the park, exhausted but exhilarated, Luna turned to Melissa and grinned. "Best. Day. Ever!" she exclaimed, and Melissa nodded in agreement, already planning their next adventure.

They decided to go to White Chillies, a restaurant known for their famous spicy foods. Entering there and taking a sit, the two ordered for food and chatted while waiting to be served.

Luna, I haven't had so much fun in a long time, Melissa started, why don't we try clubbing next time? She asked.

I don't think clubbing is a good idea, I mean lots of bad stuffs happen at clubs. Clubs isn't a nice place, Luna concluded.

That's a really big misconception about clubs, I work at The Velvet lounge, it's a nice club and a nice place to relax, though there are some bad stuff happening every day as you said it's still good, Melissa said.

Luna knew that Melissa was probably around her age and was supposed to be in school but she was working, she looked at her weirdly.

What's with the look, well am currently working to save up for my tution in the future,I work at the Everyday supermarket during the day and The Velvet lounge at night, not everyone is as lucky as you to get a scholarship into Star Academy, my mom isn't too well and can't work too hard, so am working now to support her and also take care of myself. Maybe in the near future I can go back to school, Melissa said smiling brightly.

Luna was shocked at Melissa revelation, she never thought that Melissa who appeared pitiful was such a strong girl.

"Melissa, you're so strong and inspiring! I'm here for you, always. Let's celebrate your hard work and dedication tonight , cheers! Luna said, Cheers! They clicked their glasses and downed their juice.

I think I might consider finding a part time job too, I feel so sorry for my brother for working so hard and I want to do something to assist him, Luna said suddenly as they were eating. I have nothing doing after school so I could use the job to pass time and also get some money.

That's really a good idea, it's really good to help and support your loved ones, I can help you look around for jobs since you are new here. I will find a one that can suit your schedule, Melissa offered.

I would really appreciate that, thank you so much Melissa.

It's nothing, we are friends now, aren't we? Friends aren't suppose to use the phrase "Thank you ", Melissa said.

You are right, we are friends now, Luna replied smiling brightly as they continued eating their food.

They finished their food and went back home bidding each other good night at their different door step.
