When Stars and Enemies Conspire

LUNA WILSON

The first day was great except for that meanie's part. Now I am excited for day 2. Arthur was really sweet, he sent me all the notes I needed and helped me with my lessons. I was all set and ready to go about my day, I reached my stop, only to witness a horrendous figure which I wish I never met waiting for the bus. God, he was the last person I wanted to see today. He was trying to cover his face with his hands, pretending to not know me. He was terrible at acting. I was embarrassed to look at his face. But I thought this was a great opportunity to bug him. Come on, he wanted me not to recognize him, I am not gonna let him win this time.

"Hi Evan," I said in a flattery voice.

"Oh, it's you, and you are- hmm?" He pretended to think. His acting was so poor.

"It's Luna."

"Oh yeah, Luna, sorry bad memory, you know." he was reluctant. I was not ready to have any more conversations with this idiot, I was embarrassed enough, so I let him win and distanced myself from his aura.

After a few minutes, I can see a 6'1 shadow next to mine. "You live here?" He asked. God, it's so awkward. "Yes," I say without adding any further information.

"Why?" his voice was petrified.

"What do you mean?, I can live anywhere I want, it's a democratic country, I pay the taxes and rent." I was all raged up by his question.

"Why here of all places?"

"Do you have any problem with that?" I was ready to punch him if he added another question furthermore.

"No, absolutely not. You can live anywhere you want, even on roads, I don't care."

"Then seal your lips!" I was losing my mind over this guy.

"Can I ask you another question?"

"What is it now?" I was ready to ask the uncle who was standing next to us, to call the cops as he was going to witness a brutal murder in a few minutes.

"Why do you have to dress like this in winter? A mid frock with a terrible-looking jacket that barely prevents you from cold. And awful boots. My actual question is are you a human? Are you sure you are not from any other planet?" he asked me with a sympathetic and sarcastic look on his face.

"NO! I am not from this planet, I was sent from another world to prevent this world from dirty creatures like you. And also are you judging my fashion? I thought normally girls did that. Or are you concerned that I may fall sick?" I said with a creepy smirk.

"You are scaring the shit out of me, Look away that's an eerie look. You call 'this' as fashion? And also you are right I was concerned but not about you, I was really worried about the reputation of Merlin's University. They have sinned by admitting a weirdo like you."

"YOU-" I had no strength left to argue with this character. The bus finally arrived. God answered my prayers late. I got in first and took my seat. Evan climbed in last and he didn't have a seat. I was delighted. There was an empty seat next to mine but neither of us didn't want to take any risk. 

"Luna!" Oliver greeted me with a friendly hug.

"You guys know each other already?" Meanie was all jealous of our friendship.

"Luna and I work in 'Delighted Delight' as part-timers."

"You never told me Oli."

"Because Luna joined in yesterday not like years ago," Oliver explained to Evan.

"Poor baby, thought you ditched your best friend for someone new, What a pitiful baby. Alright, Oli let me take leave, console the grown-up baby." I left the duo and came a little far away and looked at them from a distance I could see that Evan's blood was boiling. 

We were in the middle of the class when Ms. Beth excused herself to make a call "Evan and Luna the Principal may wanna have a word with you." Not again with that loser. 

"There is a charity event coming up this month and I want you both to take part in it as part of the music club," Mrs. Vivian said firmly.

"No Way!" We were both synchronized on a matter finally.

"What about Anna? She can't replace Anna's place!" meanie was mean again.

"I talked to Anna she is okay with Luna replacing her and also Mr. Millfield I am not asking for your permission it is an order and I would want you to follow that without any questions. Thank you, you may leave now." Ms. Vivian dismissed Evan. "Coming to you Ms. Wilson, this event determines your scholarship so I would want you to put in extra attention."

"Sure, thank you" I was also dismissed. Evan was waiting outside the room all raging up. We have to work together.
