CHAPTER FOURTEEN COMMON CRIMINALS
◥✤◤
With the events of what happened at Pop's still fresh in everybody's minds, Luna's mother was hesitant about letting her or Rosalie go there, especially alone. Luna and her friends tried to carry on with their day but now going to Pop's to plan their performances, setlists or even as a quiet place for Luna to write her songs, wasn't an option anymore. No one was going there anymore, the staff quit and it was very certain that the place was going to have to close down soon. It was the one place that could give Luna and her friends a little taste of the Northside since it was one of the few places they could go without getting dirty looks from people because it was one of the few places they were welcome.
"Apparently this preppy girl from the Northside is trying to save Pop's. It turns out he's selling it," Peyton mumbled with her cheek squished against the heel of her hand as the five of them sat at their usual lunch table in the cafeteria.
"The mayor refuses to try and keep it open and to be honest, I don't blame her. It just really sucks," Kai sighed.
"I can't help but feel like everyone is going to crusade for Pop's after a man gets shot yet when the Twilight Drive-In was being closed because of lack of funding to keep it running, everyone just accepted defeat. No one says anything when we lose something over here but the second something on the Northside is threatened, light your torches and sharpen your pitchforks," Naomi said before blowing a piece of her pink hair out of her face.
"Why does everything have to be about the Northside versus the Southside with you two?" Kai asked while looking at Naomi and Peyton.
"Because most of the time, it is," the blonde said bluntly.
"I would totally like to find this preppy girl you speak of and help her save the diner since it's the only place on the Northside where we're welcome, but my mom is already losing her mind enough as it is. She doesn't want me or Ro going anywhere near that place alone and I have a very strong feeling she would prefer if we didn't go there at all," Luna said as she leaned back in her seat with her arms crossed.
"My parents don't want me to go over there either," Maya said while picking at her cuticles. "I'm gonna miss their chocolate fudge milkshakes."
"I gotta say, I'll never forget the day Luna dumped that new song on us over there," Naomi said with her eyes narrowed and her head slightly tilted.
"Hey, you all learned it before the show!" Luna replied while glaring at Naomi. "Plus, I promised to never do it again so don't make me go back on my word."
"What are we talking about again?" Maya questioned.
"Pop's," Luna and Naomi replied.
As much as it would make her mother upset, Luna really wanted to go there with her friends one last time, especially if it was going to be closing down or sold to someone else so they could close it down anyway in less than a week. Maybe order a double bacon cheeseburger with poutine and a mango milkshake. Once everything was said and done, the entire group would be down a hangout, leaving the school's music room and Luna's garage to have their music related discussions along with practices.
