LUNA

There's a fine line between the desks and where to sit, so I have noticed, their preoccupied and vacant laughs fill the room. Sitting down two seats to the left of the back row I role my eyes in response to them. Their pathetic antics of conformity agitate me, I guess I never really tried fitting in anyway. The girl seated two seats in front of me, her perfectly curled brunette hair bubbled as she nodded in agreement with Kylie about what she should wear tomorrow to the big party. Kylie's sneer meets my eyes and I look down avoiding her nasty remarks.

"Luna, so I guess you wouldn't be coming to the party this weekend, I mean it's not really your scene is it, but then again what is?" she giggled as Bethany tapped her laughing.

"Sorry, um.." I open my diary flicking through the pages, "oh wait I just checked and sorry I'm booked out on fucks to give.." I sweetly reply.

Her choked laugh to my response, makes me quietly laugh to myself.. they begin to whisper too loudly, about something as I wait for the bell to ring..

LUNA

Climbing into bed, I pull the sheets up determined to shut the world away, Sad by Maroon 5 slowly plays through the speakers, and I sigh at the fact that even the radio is sad today. I guess it was just another one of those days. Luke wasn't at school today.

Blowing my hair out of my face, I curl up hoping to fall asleep..

Michael,

I still remember the first day I met you

I'm sorry this is lame that I'm writing to you but I really feel like I need too

You see I've been the girl that craved the edge of a cliff more than the lingering of lips..

for way too long now..

and christ am I sorry for what I've put you through

but I need to know if I'm making a mistake, being in love with you, being here and not there with you

I don't know what to do anymore, I just really don't.

My pen runs along the page, wiping the unwelcoming tears from my face, I notice the way some of the words seem to blur.

This is stupid.. Scrunching the letter up I toss it to the other side of the room. Making my way from my desk back to the warmth of my bed. And god in that moment did I want to be anyone than who I was and anywhere but where I was.

LUKE

"Are you alright?" I look up to her, as she twirls the pasta around and around her fork, not bothering to look up to me she mumbles back "I'm fine."

"You should eat, yeah the pasta was so good today." I try to encourage her, but she seems to just nod and return to where she was.

"Do we have biology next?." She speaks up for the first time in the last 20 minutes.

"No, we have a spare." I smile, her hands cup her cheeks as she rests upon them a small smile gently curving to the right side of her face.

"We should just leave." Her voice remains a whisper.

"Uh well maybe we should get some study in." I respond,considering we have that party this week as well, we won't have much time to study.

"I think I need to get away for a while, the beach?" she picks her fork up and twirls the pasta.

"You don't play fair." I retort

"No one does Luke." she cooly replies.

"Meet me at the gate in 5, I'll grab my books." I reply taking the muffin and shoving it into my bag.

LUKE

"Do you know the band sticky fingers?" I quiz her, their one of my favourites.

"They're a band from home." I look over as her fingertips tracing against the window.

"No are they any good." she smile.

"They're fucking excellent." "Here this is one of my favourites it's called sex." Her hand brushes mine as she goes to turn the radio up, pulling my hand back to focus, putting two hands back on the wheel.

And my heart's getting small

In my bed's where I figure

We take it off

The music continues, her fingers drumming against the window as she hums along.

"This is really good." she hums turning it up a little more.

"Have they got cute accents like you?"

Laughing at her question "I guess, they're aussie too." her giggles fill the car and it reminds me of the time when her hair was dancing against the wind driving through the tunnels, that moment we were infinite..I'd do anything to go back just for a moment.
