- Lucia's POV, after going to principal's office and writing letter of apology _

I smile and hold out the paper.

"Isn't this beautiful?" I show it to Justin. He stares at it for a second than nods. "Sure. It's cool." I grin and place it on the teacher's table in the detention room.

"I'll wait for ya to finish." I answer, sitting on the random desk but Justin raises his eyebrows, placing his papers full of [I won't scribble on school's wall every again.] on my papers. "Oh, I'm already done. I was waiting for you." I blink. "Oh, you were?" I ask again, biting my lips.

I can remember all those times I spent on papers to decorate it. I think of myself decorating the margins with oil pastels that I hadn't yet brought into the art room, using a gradient of different colors for each letter. And the way I enjoyed it, taking too much freakin times.

"God. If I knew you were waiting for me, I wouldn't have decorated it." I murmur and Justin Shrugs. "Nah, it's fine. I was admiring your arts. Let's go." He picks up a bag and I smile, throwing mine on the air and catching it again, following him.

Actually, I deliberately planned it for a long time and with as much passion as I could muster. I just... didn't want to be alone in the library until I had to go on patrol. Maybe it was because I didn't want to face all the questions that would come to mind after what Robin said.

"Luna!" As we step out of the detantion room, I can hear somebody calling me so I look back.

"HI!" I wave my hand, spotting Tim and Stephanie smiling to me. Uh... Okay, I remember Tim is Damian's older brother and Stephanie is his best friend, who is living together. I saw them when I visited Damian's house for science project and Damian and Tim was about to murder each other.

Sure, I remember.

"Who are they?" Justin whispers and I whisper back. "Damian's older brother. His name is Tim and her name is Stephanie. Stephanie is his best friend." Justin's eyes shine for a second. "Oohh...." He says, nodding to himself.

Tim and Stephanie is carrying some books and I step closer, don't wanting to go back to the library. "You need my help?" I ask, hoping I'll have something to do before I'll go but Tim shakes his head. "No thanks, but thank you." Steph says next to him and I nod. "K," I murmur.

Tim looks around Justin, noticing him.

Actually, I think it's more like Tim felt Justin's stare, observing him. I almost laughed at his burning eyes. "You have a crush on him?" I whisper a joke and Justin makes a face. "No, egh." I giggle. "Who is he?" Tim asks and before I speak, he introduces himself first.

"I'm Justin. Justin Evans. I just transferred." He says and Stephanie nods. "That's why you are new to us. Like, too new. I couldn't even remember seeing you even from corridors." She says and Justin smiles a little. "I guess."

Some silence comes and Justin's eyes shine again as he spots one book in Tim's arm.

"{Persuasion}? I like that book, too. Jane Austen, right?" He says and Tim's eyes become wide. "You like literature?" Justin nods. "Especially Jane Austen's books. Why?" He asks and Stephanie makes a funny face. "Oohh. That's.... great. I love her books too..." She murmurs with wide eyes..

I giggle at this situation. "Really? Now that I hear it, it seems that way. Justin, I think you'd like Jane's books." I say and three of students standing in front of me jerks their head to me.

"Why?" Tim and Stephanie asks in a same time and Justin's smirk is showing he found my words funny but is also wondering. "I'll take that as a compliment. But why?" He asks.
