Random Stories I Come Up With

English project that brought them back together.

Characters: Light, Luna

(tw, cringe and I actually submitted this for an English project so like, I tried??)

It was the first day of the 2nd semester of Light's high school. New gossip and new relationships between everyone. Light did not really pay attention to all the couples, despising them for being so 'in love,' and blocking the hallways while she was trying to get to her next class. "Like how hard it is just to go to advanced math, 5 minutes early, only for them to be blocking the stairwells while holding hands and acting all cute." She practically despises relationships at this point now.

Then comes what used to be her best friend from 6th grade, in her English class, oh how much she also hated her for what she did. A lot has happened since 6th grade, from growing up to learning about themselves. She did not know that she had her English class now, "This is going to suck."

Light picks her seat in the last row in the front, close enough to see the board but far enough from the teacher so they will not call on her if they need a question answered. Light also was not the type to raise her hand and answer questions in any class, she just hates being on the spot in general, so being in the back was always her safe spot plus, she gets to watch whatever things play out in the class. She stays in her seat, unwavering and watching the girl with dark, purple-dyed hair in the front corner opposite the room from her.

The class starts off slow, the teacher waiting and talking about what happened over the break, kids talking about all the trips they went on. All Light could focus on was why they changed her schedule and specifically what were the chances for her to be in HER class? She hopes that she does not have to talk to her anytime she is in that class, let alone make eye contact with her oh how she would hate to be caught looking at her.

Sure, she might have hated her for what she did in 6th grade, leaving her to join the popular kids, turning on her, leaving her to be alone in 6th grade. Sure, she left her all those years ago, but she still misses what they had before she left her. They were complete opposites and they always got along; they liked the same things but would always tell each other about stuff that they did not have in common. She missed how much fun they had together, how she made her chest flutter, how perfect their friendship was. She missed all of that.

The class period went by fast, due to her staring at her enemy the whole time and debating whether to drop out or switch at that moment. One thing the teacher said that stuck out to her right before the bell was, "And remember, your presentation and partner information will be posted on your class page." A presentation, the first day back from winter break?

She hopes that she will not be paired with anyone she hates, especially the person she hates the most but at the same time she misses the most. She was dreading checking her English class page, the thought of being paired with her, having to work together with her, having to communicate with her.

She stared at her phone, the bus ride home was quiet and uneventful other than her just staring at her phone, thumb over her English class page thinking about the possibility of her being paired up with the person she dislikes the most in her English class. That is all she could think about while walking to her house from her bus stop.

"What are the chances? Does she still remember me? Is she mad?" Those thoughts kept whirling through her head and were making her doubt even opening her class page on her school app. She opened the door to her house, dropped her bag on the floor, and collapsed onto her couch. Taking a deep breath before opening the same English class page she had been avoiding the whole-time getting home. And there it was, in bold letters, 3rd place in the list of names, "Light Lovegood, Luna Midnight. Category: Character Dynamics in Protagonist vs. Antagonist."
