Love Drew the Moon

Chapter Three

Drew and Tiffany ended up together, so I had to play nice whenever she was around and Drew had to play nice when Landon was around. They had an on and off relationship, so I had my moment. Luckly we were barely around one another. Drew and Tiffany would always run off, so majority of the time I'm all alone. I spend most of the school day in the school library when classes aren't in session or when I finish my work early. The bigger reason is because I'm a freak, who now has to sit in the library during lunch in-between the mystery and fantasy sections.

"There she sits on her own. Her nose in a book. Hopefully waiting for someone to be her friend."

"I can hear you," I spotted a camera in the bookshelf. "Who are you, and why are you making all these assumptions about me?"

"I'm Sage," he popped his head out of the bookshelf. "I'm doing an exposé about the nobodies. How did you hear me? I was whispering into this mic."

"I have great hearing. Nice to know I'm a nobody." I gave a sarcastic smile.

"What are you doing here?" He pointed his camera at me.

"What does it look like?" I flashed my book to him.

He walked towards me. "I mean, why are you here all alone? I've heard others talk about someone who spends her time in the library because her friends are in her books, but you look like someone to have friends."

"Who'd you hear that from? Tiffany?" He nodded. "Well, its either you're new or you've been hiding under a rock, but I'm a freak apparently." I shut my book closed. "That girl's out to get me, but sadly she's correct. Not a lot of people here like me because of the things she says about me."

"I am new, but it's freshmen year and the second month of high school, so I'm not the only new person here." He put down his camera. "Hard to fit in?" I nodded. "She's the popular crowd? Everyone believes what she says?" I nodded once more. "I'll be you're friend, since you don't have any."

"Whoa dude. Don't get sappy. I said I not a lot of people like me
Not that I have no friends. But I'll accept your offer." I shook his hand. "I'm Luna Magsino."

"Well, will you be in my exposé?" I nodded. He picked up his camera, "why are you alone in this library?"

"That evil Tiffany is out to get me. She's sinister, she wants all the attention on her. She will ruin everyone's reputations for the sake of her own," I cackled.

"Nice to know you're opinions about my girlfriend." Drew plopped down beside me. "One plain junior bacon cheese burger, a side of nuggets, no fries." He handed a white paper bag with a red animation of a girl with pigtails.

"Thanks Drew," I gave him a hug, opening my bag.

"You know Andrew Love?" Sage was shocked.

"She better, I'm her best friend." He popped his collar and ran his fingers through his hair.

"You're best friends with the most popular guy in the freshmen class?" Sage questioned. "But his girlfriend is Tiffany."

"I know, don't remind me." I said taking an angered bite.

"Nice." Drew laughed. "She's been my best friend since we were in our mother's belly. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't remind me of it."

"Thanks. " I said sarcastically. "I needed to hear something that disturbing while I eat."

"You're welcome." He bit into is burger. "Andrew Love. But you already knew that."

"Sage." They shook hands. "Since he's your best friend, shouldn't you be popular?"

"I don't like the attention." I offered him a nugget. "And Tiffany doesn't like me. So why bother?" I shrugged.

"Strange," Sage squinted his eyes.

A chime from Drew's pocket began to ring constantly, but he ignored it. "Gasp. Are my eyes fooling me? You didn't answer your phone."

"Ha-ha. Your acting kind of sucks." I pouted. "I know you're joking."

"Fighting?" He nodded. "How dare you insult my acting methods." I smacked his arm.

"You can't be an actress until you go out into the public," Drew leaned on the wall.

"Why don't you join the school play?" Sage asked.

"Yeah, why don't you?" Drew agreed.

"I'm a freshmen, they're not going to give a role to a freshmen unless they're over the top." I pointed out.

"Then wow them." Drew ripped the poster off the wall. "Romeo and Juliet."

"Shakespeare?" He handed the poster to me. "I'm no Juliet, let alone her lady in waiting."

"Well there are other plays to come, you don't have to start now." Sage lifted my spirit. "Hopefully its one I can direct."

"You want to be a director?" I asked. "Being able to tell people what to do, I can also film it because I won't get mad at myself for it. It's a win win situation."

The bell rang for the fourth period, as the few others left the library Drew sat still.

"Dude get to class," I grabbed my bag. "Let's go," I lent a hand, "you'll make it the rest of the day without her."

"No I can't, she's out there." He whispered.

"You're not actually scare of her are you?" I snickered. "Did you break up?"

He nodded, "before I left to buy you food."

I squatted, "tell me on the way to class." I lifted him up.

"I'll see you two around," Sage shook our hands. "It was nice hanging out with you."

I scoffed. "Dude, you act like this is a one time thing. Let's meet up at Port of Mocha after school. Cool?"

Sage nodded. "See you there."

"You will be there, right?" I asked. He walked on ahead. "Drew. You guys aren't together, we could hang out."

"I know but we'll back together by the end of the day."

"So what? I thought she was going to be nice. We always make plans but I end up alone because of her. Everyday it's the same thing. We might as well not hang out." I walked to my locker.

"Moon you know I mean well but-"

"But Tiffany's more important than me. Because she's your 'girlfriend' she has a high authority." I switched my books.

"It's not like that. It's just- just-"

"Just what Drew?" I sighed. "Port of Mocha after school. If you show, I'll know how important I am to you." I closed my locker. "After school. Don't forget."
