Bright as the moon

Chapter 8 Space Museum

"ROME WAKE UP!!" I woke up to Lily's scream so I immediately got up from my bed and left my room "Xyria texted me that we were going to the space museum so that sir could have a class there" "Is that true?" "Yes, hurry up and get ready" I got ready and we left

We arrived at school and sir gathered us on the bus so we could leave "Is everyone here so we can leave?" "Yes sir!" "Ok, we're leaving, you know where we're going, right?" "Lily did you bring food?" "I forgot to bring it, let's eat there for sure there is food there" "Listen to me, you can go around the museum but you only have one hour to go around and I will ask you what you observed that you are interested in"

We arrived at the museum and when we entered, Lily and I immediately saw a big moon in the lobby "Do you see what i see Rome?" "Yes, she is big" Lily and I were left in the lobby while we were looking at the moon, I saw a sign that was going to other information on the moon "Lily let's go here" When Lily and I entered we saw the different forms of the moon and the moons of the planets in the solar system "Wow it's like I dreamed it's beautiful here" "Lily, look at this, it is the second largest moon in the solar system, they are about to be the size of mercury" "So there's moon titan, saturn's largest moon" "Let's write the information here and find something to eat" Lily and I wrote down the information we got at the museum while we were writing I felt hungry, I was about to get up from where I was sitting when suddenly someone handed me food "You seem hungry, this is your food" my teacher gave us food "I saw you were missing while I was telling your classmates something so I looked for you and saw that you were hungry so I gave you food" "Thank you sir" "By the way, are you finished because one hour is up so come with me so I can ask you a question" "Yes sir we are done" "Ok, you can eat at our place and we will start"

we went to the place where sir will teach his class "Ok class, is everyone here?" "xyria's group is not here yet sir" "Ow ok let's wait for them to arrive" while we were waiting, I noticed that Lily's mood was different "Lily are you ok?" "I don't seem to be ok, my stomach hurts, I had too many soft drinks last night" "You're not allowed to drink soft drinks Lily, Here I have some medicine, take it first and then tell me how you feel later" I gave Lily the medicine I brought, I remembered because her father told me that she shouldn't drink soft drinks "It's good that you have medicine with you Rome" "I always take medicine with me when I leave" "You are not allowed to drink soft drinks, only water" I told my teacher that Lily's stomach was hurting so I also said that I would be the only one to report "Sir, I'm the only one to report because Lily is not ok now" "Why what happened to Lily?" "Her stomach hurts, sir" "Ow ok, rest there for now, Lily, Rome will take care of the information you got" Xyria's group arrived and we started "They are here so let's start Rome first, you look excited" Sir noticed that I was really excited "So what information did you get in the moon" "We found that there is a moon that is the same size as mercury, Saturn's moon, Titan" while I was explaining everything that Lily and I had written, I saw that Lily was very happy, so I liked to explain in front of my classmates and my teacher.

"Wow very good Rome" "Thank you sir" "let's give Rome a big round of applause" I was a little embarrassed but I was happy because I saw Lily's smile, we all finished with the information we got so sir said the final score of the reporting "So the highest score was Rome and Lily, followed by Xyria's group and Kib's group, Congratulations Rome and Lily" I didn't expect that we got the highest score in reporting so Im so happy, Our teacher told us that we could go around the museum again and that we only had 30 minutes to go around but what Lily and I did was take a picture for a while at the moon display in the lobby "Let's take a picture here Lily" when we finished taking pictures we went to the bus so Lily could rest "How are you feeling Lily?" "I'm quite ok, my stomach pain is gone" "Cut down on soft drinks" "Just yesterday I had soft drinks, Rome, don't worry I'll drink water" "Make sure" "Don't be mad at me, I'll cry here" "I'm not mad at you, I just told you not to drink soft drinks" Lily didn't say a word anymore and I just sat next to her so I could rest

I was so deep in sleep that I didn't notice that we were back home, Suddenly I woke up and when I woke up Lily and I were the only ones inside the bus and Lily was watching over me "It's good that you wake up, I can't go with you, your head is resting on my shoulder" "How many hours did I sleep?" You slept for two hours but we just got here" Lily and I got out of the bus and first we entered the room for sir's announcement "Ok I have an announcement that we won't have class from tomorrow until Friday because your report earlier was perfect so take a break and enjoy your free time" [All] "Thank you sir" "Be careful when you go home guys"

Lily and I got home and we rested for a while. I was still a little tired so I lay down to get some energy "Rome, I have a question for you" "What is it?" "Did you see what your father looked like?" "I saw him but I only got to be with him once because my mom said he was too busy with work" "That's why you don't feel what I feel, We have different feelings" "I know but I know how much pain you feel, so smile because I know you can" "I can smile but there is hidden pain in this smile" I hugged Lily so I could cheer her up "I know I'm not like Emily to make you feel ok, but I'm doing my best to make you feel ok" "Thank you Rome you are very kind friend" "I don't just think of you as a friend, Lily, you are special to me" "Will we be able to fulfill our astronaut status?" "I don't know if we will see it in the future" "Let's promise each other that we can set foot on the moon" "I promise you we will fulfill that" Lily and I know that our dreams will come true so I will work hard to reach my dream of becoming an astronaut.
