I worked on my math homework for two hours. I don't get all these x an y values. I give up putting it away to get ready to meet Alec at Starbucks. I straighten my naturally curly hair and part it. I add medium cat eyes and add a thin coat of mascara. I add red wine colored lipstick. I slip on matching bra and underwear. I put on a black sweater and grey leggings. I slip on my glossy grey high heels and get my kill star purse. I take twenty dollars out of my bag so I can by my coffee. Strangely coffee is my second favorite drink. I still have a half hour left. I look out my window to see a guy with hoodie looking into my window. I can't his face. I walk downstairs to go talk to him. I open the door and he is gone. What is with people and their superman speed. I sigh and start to walk to Starbucks seeing it gives me twenty minutes to get there.

STARBUCKS
I walk through the door hearing it jingle with the open bell. I don't know why but I feel very self conscious. I spot Alec across the room. He's starring at me again. Ugg what is his deal? I walk over and greet him with a small smile. Might as well make the bet of this. "Hey..." I whisper. I don't know why but I'm chocked up like a school girl in front of her crush. "Hello love can I by you a coffee?" He asks with charming manners. "No it's okay. I can pay my own." I was about to walk to the counter when he grabbed my wrist. "Please Luna.... It would be my pleasure.." He almost begged me. "Fine but I'm gonna get a small than..."
"Hi I'm Dylan can I take your order?" Alec spoke up first. "Hi can I have a large ice coffee with sugar cream and whipped cream?" "Yes of course and you?" I think. "Um can I have a small Carmel iced coffee with whipped crea-" I'm cut off by Alec. "Make that a large."
"Your guys total is $7.66." I watch as Alec handed him a twenty and received his change. "You can go find a table." I nodded and found one that's way in the corner. I sat down and waited for him to come back. He sat down awfully close to me making me shiver. I replied thank you when he handed me my coffee, he than smiled warmly at me.
"So love I take it you want answers?"
"Oh ah yes. First why do you stare so much?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"I find you unique and pretty."
I muttered an "oh".
"Okay, how come you knew my locker combo?"
"Well I have an extraordinary memory and I saw you put it in once."
"Fine last question how did you know I wrote down puppy dog eyes for the L.A task?"
He smirked.
"Also another perk of my dashing self I have good hearing."
I'm not happy with my answers though.

He did what the deal asked for. I sigh knowing I can't alter it.
"Hey Um can I ... Maybe get your ah number Luna ?" He's being shy? Was it supposed to be a cute act?
"Oh yeah 8028399443."
He smiled brightly. "Talk to you later Luna."

WHEN ALEC ARRIVES HOME
I open the door to be greeted with the palm of someone's hand. "You're supposed to be here an hour ago." My foster day is rather abusive. He only does it because he gets a child care check every month. I know I act tough, but when I get home I always seem to be a coward. I ran into the upstairs bathroom. I call Luna.
"Hello?"
"Hey luna could I come over?"
In the back you can hear my dad braking stuff. Sounds like glass.
"Please"
"Uh sure the address is 317 Plainfield brook road."
"Thanks I owe you one."
I hear the dial tone end. She is so beautiful and kind. Such qualities I wish I had.
I grab my pack pack and fill it with some stuff. Boxers jeans t shirts deodorant phone charger and a sweater . I don't think I'm coming home. May not stay with Luna but I can't stay here anymore. Plus with him not letting me out I don't get enough to eat. I hop out the back window happy to leave it.
LUNAS POINT OF VIEW
I've never talked to him over the phone. He sounded like he was in a gang fight at home. I felt awful so I let him come over. The door bell rings and it's pouring out side. I open the door to see Alec soaking wet with a drenched backpack with wet hair all in his face.
