Solar Flares Make the Moon Cry (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5

This morning, you managed to wake up at a decent time, even if you forgot to set your alarm again. Yet, something feels off, no, not your lack of sleep, but something in the air is abnormal. It isn't quiet, it's actually pretty loud with your family getting ready. The pit of your stomach churns, indicating something bad might happen later. Though, this isn't always the case, because your anxiety is high and it's simply just showing in the form of a queasy belly.

You get dressed and pack your lunch after doing your morning bathroom routine. You actually don't sit in the lunchroom during your lunch break and instead stay in your 3rd-period teachers' classroom. It's quiet, but too quiet for you to feel comfortable eating, so you just pack an apple and a cheese stick to make your parents think you're eating at school.

Although you never end up eating the food at school. You either just put it back in the fridge when you get home or gobble it up in the privacy of your room.

You get into the car with your older sibling and one of your parents drives you to the high school building. You step out onto the sidewalk, walk slightly ahead of your sibling and walk into the outside stairwell that allows access to the 2nd floor.

Normally, you walk through the cafeteria doors to enter the hallway and stand by the wall without a problem, but everyone's eyes seem to stare into your skin. It clicks and you soon realize that the uneasiness in your stomach from this morning was to warn you of this.

You hunch over a little more and grab your hands together, whispers and giggles can be heard over the deathly silence. The sickness grows even more as you lean against the wall in the open hallway and slowly pull out your phone.

In the distance, pushing through a crowd of people, you see Solis. You never have to struggle to tell it's him because he's so tall and you haven't seen anyone else in the school with hair like his. You take into account that today it's parted to the side, but you can't observe him much because of the sudden cheer the rest of your peers make as he stands right in front of you.

"Hi there sunshine, it seems we have fans." He puts his hands on his hips and leans down to your eye level, almost like he's encouraging the attention.

"Why'd you have to come to see me?" You glare daggers at him.

"I like you! So I have to come to see you of course! Besides, I'm pretty sure they're waiting for Luna to come out of hiding since I'm not the one who got so touchy with you during your 5th hour." He gives a cheeky smirk and stands straight up again. He then does a full spin to admire the attention like he's in Ouran HighSchool Host Club.

"Oh, I see him over there! Stay behind me and I'll protect you." He laughs like a toddler and stands right in front of you as Luna approaches.

Upon seeing Solis get so protective of you, Luna tenses up. The crowd plus the intense stare of his brother makes him stop in his tracks.

"Come on, Luna. Don't you want to see dear y/n? Or did too many things happen yesterday that are making you nervous?" Solis then latches onto your wrists.

Luna shakes his head and runs back into the crowd, several girls screaming like piglets while others continue to record the situation.

You feel like a cornered animal and try to pull away from Solis, but he keeps his grip.

"Solis, could you please let go? I'm not very comfortable right now." You quietly say to the Dandelion.

He lets go of your wrists and turns around to see your pained expression. He then steps backward, muttering a quick sorry, and leans against the wall next to you.

"Sorry about that. I'm still just a little upset with Luna. You didn't tell me what happened during school yesterday."

You look down at your shoes, not wanting to answer that. It was embarrassing then, but now? The entire school has its eyes on you. Even the kids outside of yours, Luna's, and Solis' grade are interested in your relationship with them. Some might just be interested in Luna and Solis themselves, especially since you can kind of tell they're twins but the difference in hair makes you think otherwise. They're both attractive as well, their height only adding to that.
