CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
HIGH MAINTENANCE

◥✤◤

     Luna couldn't say she didn't see it coming. Forty-eight hours later, the Black Hood decided that Riverdale failed his test so the murders were going to continue until it was "cleansed" but many people still went about their day acting like there wasn't an out of control serial killer in town. Days passed and Luna and Rosalie still went to school like they would on any other day and their mother still insisted that they walk together until the Black Hood was caught. At this point, they had gotten used to it and would sometimes talk about the few things they had in common like their hatred for math class, even though many people could easily hate math. And when they did get to school, they went to their usual friend groups like always.

     "I love how everyone is just pretending there isn't a hooded psychopath on the loose," Peyton laughed and everyone else agreed.

     "We really shouldn't be acting like everything is normal but here we are," Naomi said as she shrugged her shoulders and Luna scoffed.

     "If everything was back to normal I wouldn't still be stuck attached to my sister's hip any time I leave the house. If we do separate for whatever reason, we lie to our mom and cover for each other so she doesn't suspect anything," she said and Peyton smirked.

     "Do you have to go over your stories to make sure they match up?" she asked.

     "Sometimes," Luna replied.

     "Don't you ever feel bad for constantly lying to your mom when she's trying to keep you safe?" Maya asked and Luna looked at her.

     "She said she didn't want us to be alone and technically, whenever we separate, we're not alone 'cause we always end up around other people. So technically, we're still being safe just not together," she said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, if I have to listen to Rosalie ramble on about strawberry cheesecake as if she's never heard of it before, I'm gonna throw her into Sweetwater River.

     "Good luck with that, spaghetti arms," Kai laughed and Luna glared at him before throwing a grape at his forehead.

     "Suck my dick!" she snapped while Kai just continued laughing.

     Peyton and Naomi laughed as Sweet Pea and Fangs walked up to their table, both of them smirking. "You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Sweet Pea questioned and Luna rolled her eyes as she smirked right back at him.

     "Do I smell jealousy?" she asked and Sweet Pea scoffed as he walked away to join his friends.

     "I'd rather kiss a frog!"
