The Boy Who Travels In Books

I'm Stuck With Luna

Brystin woke up, he looked at his alarm clock to see it was 6:40 AM in the morning. He could hear his mom coming down the hallway. The door was thrust open, she then said, " IT'S 6:40 AM IN THE MORNING YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE BUS!!!" I was still drowsy and said, " Y- yeah yeah i'll get dressed." Then his mother left the room. He proceeded to get dressed, dart out of the door, and enter the bus. It was quite loud but he sat next to one of his friends, Luna. He sat down and Luna said, " Good morning Brystin! Late I see? We've been here for 9 minutes." Brystin almost said sorry but the bus started and he was jolted forward, he slammed his head into the seat in front of him. Which just so happened to be the bullie's (Brocks) seat. Brock said, " What are you doing pipsqueak!" Brystin froze in fear but managed to say, " I'm s- sorry I didn't mean t- to the b- b- bus just hit the b- b- breaks." Brock said in an angry tone, " You did it on purpose didn't you? YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME?" He yelled. Brystin said, " N- n- n- no I d- don't think i- i'm better than y- you." Brock had gotten out of his seat and grabbed Brystins left arm, Luna stood up and grabbed his hand and pulled it off me standing in front of me Luna said, " Leave him alone it was an accident." Brock responded with, " Wow Brystin you need a girl to protect you?" Brystin said in a shaky tone, " W- well I- I mean y-." Luna cut him off and said, " No he doesn't but that doesn't mean I won't help him when he needs it. You pick on his insecurities because you have the same and won't let others to feel less than you for it." Brock's face flared red. At this point a small crowd of people had formed to see what was going on. A couple people even chuckled at the sight of Brock's face. He got angry and stormed off to the back of the bus. Suddenly the Bus started, Brystin put his head into his lap covering his face as the crowd broke off and sat back down because of the rude remarks the bus driver had been saying for the past 2 minutes. Luna gave him a pat on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Brystin, no one saw it." He instantly turned more red as she put her hand on his shoulder out of sheer embarrassment. They continued driving along the road and Brystin attempted to make up conversation as they rode along with the bus, but ended up making her continuously laugh out of cringe of how flustered he had looked. They soon made it to the school and made it to their first period. Brystin looked around as he was new to this new school and looked at the front desk to see a stern looking woman with a name tag stating, "My Name Is!!! Mrs. White." It was written in scribbles almost looking like a child's writing but still eligible at the most. Mrs. White then said in a stern tone, "All of you take a seat, we will be deciding your seats for this classroom later when the rest of the students get here." The tables were set in rows, longways, He sat down in the very left corner on the third row adjacent to the teachers table. Luna took a seat to the very right of him, which made him die inside and also visually die, she laughed at his reaction. As the last few students filed into the classroom Mrs. White stood up and said in that recognizable stern voice, "Welcome, Welcome all of you (although she did not sound welcoming at all) This is my classroom, you will all be keeping the seats you have and maybe a couple minor adjustments." As she said that a couple students were talking away to themselves, Brystin wondered how minor the adjustments would really be. We waited until the teacher passed around papers about Ancient Mesopotamia, also giving them an answer sheet, neglecting the fact she needs to actually teach them and just expected them to copy it down and learn nothing. Mrs. White said, "Look inside the textbook and read along as you copy down the answers." Brystin said to himself, "this is pointless, I will learn nothing.." Brystin flipped the paper around so he could not see the answers, then he proceeded to read all the chapters of mesopotamia. After this we continued to do classwork throughout the entire class. We "learned" many new things as our slouchy teacher mildly attempted to teach us. I sat and looked at Luna through the corner of my eye. She was very pretty, though I was too nervous to say that to her face. I really did enjoy her company. After first period I traveled to my second period. After I arrived I took the nearest seat to the door and sat down waiting for Luna to get here.
