Luna, A shape shifter's tale, Mysterious happenings (Book 2)

Chapter 49

"Whoa, what makes you think that?" Chrissie replied surprised.

"Well you saw how he was acting. I mean hello the way he was acting alone should be a clear indicator." I replied.

"You really think this?" Chrissie replied with a little skepticism in her voice.

"Yes! Chrissie, his emotions were strong enough for me to see a color and just letting you know, it was pink. Which totally means that he likes me!" I exclaimed kind of feeling a bit bothered by the thought of Vlad liking me.

"Oh alright then, if you say so, but I think we should still investigate a little more." Chrissie replied.

"Ok." I then finally agreed, because I felt like maybe I was jumping to conclusions to fast, so the thought of keeping an eye on Vlad and how he's been acting lately was a good idea. After Chrissie and I had this conversation, I thought about Vlad's proposal to be friends for a bit while Chrissie and I walked around the track until the gym teachers blew the whistle at us to let all of the gym students that we had to go inside to get ready to go home.

*** Vlad's Pov***

Today was interesting, during lunch I overheard from Luna's table that Luna is no longer going out with whatever that guy's name was, so that was something nice to hear. Also that meant I could be around Luna without worrying about her boyfriend wondering about what I was up to. Anyways another thing that made my day was the fact that Luna was alright with the thought of us being friends, so today has been really great for me. I thought all about this to myself as I walked through the front door of my house, until I got inside. "Hey Vlad, how was your day at school?" My older brother Thomas said as he snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Oh hey, it was great." I replied as I tried to walk past him to go into the kitchen to get a snack from the fridge because I really didn't want to talk with him right now. "Not so fast, where do you think you're going?" Thomas replied as he quickly stepped into the entrance of the kitchen preventing me from going in. "Thomas get out of the way it's been a long day and I want a snack." I replied through clenched teeth, feeling really irritated.

"You can go get a snack once you tell me how your day went." Thomas replied with a serious look on his face as he crossed his arms and leaned to the side of the kitchen door way, still keeping me from entering. "Fine, Luna is no longer going out with that one guy. Also I was able to talk to her today. Although all I was able to ask her was if she was ok with being friends." I replied and the tried to get past my brother, who pushed my back and said, "Hold on, I'm not done. So you asked her if it was ok to be friends, ok pretty good start there. After that did you try and ask her about things she liked?" Thomas then replied.

"No, I did not, it was hard enough to talk to her, I felt uncomfortable around her, and I also ended up walking into a tree while trying to ask her to be my friend." I replied, which caused Thomas to fall to the ground and laugh at me, I sat there for a bit feeling annoyed that my brother was laughing at my trouble. Once he finished laughing, he then got back up and then said, "You find her that pretty? Oh Micul frate, if you like her that much then perhaps you should have told me sooner." Replied Thomas and then added, "I think we should just skip the whole get to know her better and ask her out." 

"Really? What do you have in mind?" I said now starting to get interested in what he had on his mind.

"Glad you asked, it's quite simple-"

"Yes?" I replied feeling excited, as I interrupted him. 

"Ehm, I was not finished talking." Thomas then scolded me.

"Sorry I got excited." I replied and then looked down at the ground feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah I can tell." Thomas replied and then smiled at me and then said, " Anyways like I was saying, it's quite simple, all you need to do is find a song that you think is romantic and sing it to her. Then you ask her out once you're done." Thomas replied happily, but then the happiness disappeared when he saw my reaction. "What? Why do you look not so thrilled about my idea?" He then replied.

"Because it's a dumb idea." I replied glumly.

"No it's not; come on Vlad, a girl really likes it when a guy sings to her. Plus they really like it if the guy has a nice singing voice and that they can sing in a different language." Thomas replied winking and hinting as to what I should do." So... you're saying that I should go and sing to Luna in Romanian, right?" I replied.

"Yes." 

"And then ask her out."

"Yes."

"But that sounds dumb."

"Oh Vlad, it's not, you only think it is because you are too young to understand what is romantic and what is not." Thomas replied. "Plus I'm pretty sure she's going to like it, especially when she finds out that you have a wonderful singing voice.." He then added with a smile.

"Fine, I'll do what you want me to do, but I don't know how I will pull that off at school." I replied, causing my brother to roll his eyes at me.

"No you idiot, do it late at night when she's about to go to sleep, you sneak out of the house and go over to her's and then you throw a pebble at her window and when she opens it, that's when you sing to her." Thomas replied.

"Uh ok, I guess... I could do that." I replied.

"That's the spirit! Ok now you can go get a snack." Thomas replied as he fist pumped the air and then stepped out of the door way to let me into the kitchen. So I thanked him for finally letting me go into the kitchen and then went to the fridge, and then got a snack. I then proceeded to go upstairs to my room and do homework as I ate my snack. As I did my homework, I thought about how I was going to do what Thomas told me to do and when I was going to do it. Then I figured that I would first get to know Luna a little better as a friend before pulling anything crazy and outrageous on her.
