His Forbidden Luna

Chapter 2 : The Familiar Stranger

Yes, mom", Haya somehow spoke.

"Where are you? You didn't show up this morning either. Didn't you come home last night?", Sofiya barked from another side, which was enough to ice Haya on the spot. 

She was so nervous after knowing about her pregnancy that she didn't even show up in front of her parents.

"I did. I had to study in the college library today so...."

"Leave it. I'm going out of town for a few days with your dad. Make sure you take care of the home"

Haya waited for her to say something else, but Sofiya cut the call without even asking her to take care of herself.

However, she sighed in relief, since her parents would be away for a few days and her pregnancy could be hidden.

She marched towards the football court to record her name for the upcoming tournament. 

"You're the girl?", a middle-aged man in a tracksuit asked her. He had blonde hair and a long whistle hanging around his neck.

"Yes. I'm Haya", she pulled a smile on her face. 

"Hmm. Take this and sign here", the man handed her some documents. "Are you sure you'll be able to control the girls and lead them?"

His words scared her a bit. She knew she could hardly handle those girls. The ex-head cheerleader could give her tough times.

"I'll try", she signed the documents and turned around to walk away. 

In the blink of her eyes, something happened. She could see a ball coming towards her in full force. She held her belly tightly right away; her devastated eyes froze on the ball. 

Close enough to her belly, it stopped, bumping into a hard chest. She was left numb on the spot as her eyes drifted to Aaron, stopping the ball against his chest.

"Aaron, you're okay, dude?", a guy from the court yelled. "Why did you go out of the court to hit it?"

"I'm good", Aaron raised his thumb and turned to Haya. Their eyes came across each other as she took a couple of steps back. 

"Are you okay?", he husked in a thick, raspy voice. 

"Yeah"

"You should be more careful right now", he uttered, fixing his grey hairs. Haya's twitching eyes lingered on his face, full of sweat. 

Seconds later, her eyes shot up. She couldn't understand what he meant by that statement. Did he know something about her pregnancy? But they didn't know each other well. 

"Anyway, did you sign the documents?", grabbing the water bottle from the nearby bench, Aaron asked her.

"Yes", she muttered. She couldn't realize how her eyes pushed up to steal a glance of him, pouring all the water on his head.

Water drops streamed down to his face, glistening over his caramel skin as she drove her remorseful gaze away. She had seen him many times on the campus itself, but that was the first time they were talking and standing close to each other.

Seconds later, she discovered the ex-head cheerleader, Koena, scowling at her from the other side of the court. She gulped her saliva down.

"Well, so....", Aaron strived to say something when he found Haya's gaze iced behind him.

Twisting his head, he saw the same view of Koena and her flocks glaring at her. 

"I guess you're obsessed with your bullies", he scoffed abruptly, dragging Haya out of her muse.
