Zoey's POV
I was walking into school when my best friends, Ashton and Dakota, ambushed me by my locker.
"Zoey! Zoey!" Dakota said excitingly.
"Yes?" I asked, confused by their bombardment.
"There's a new girl at the school! She transferred from Illinois." Ashton said on the other side of me.
"Really? Why did she move to Oregon?" I asked confused why anyone would move to our small town in Oregon.
"I'm not sure," Dakota said.
The bell rang and we started heading to history. I hated this class with a passion, it was so boring. Learning about a bunch of wars that don't have anything to do with the USA. We sat in our normal seats by the window. The teacher walked in late with a student roughly my height. She had deep blue eyes, medium black hair with blonde highlights, low cut black skater vans, dark gray joggers and a tightish flash tank top. She didn't look like she wore a lot of makeup, mostly just mascara and eyeliner. She was definitely not a girly girl by my standards. She had curves and looked toned as if she was a dancer or was experienced in a extremely active sport, like water polo.
The teacher spoke to the class," Class this is Luna Ashworth." He then turned to Luna and said," Please take a seat in front of Zoey." He pointed to me so she knew where to sit.
Luna's POV
I was so nerves. This is my first time switching schools other than graduating to middle and high school. I've lived in Illinois most of my life and to move in the middle of sophomore year to the west coast wasn't easy for me. I wish my dad never got stationed here I thought as I walked to my seat. The girl that sits behind be looks friendly but she was assessing me.
"Hello,"I said as I sat down in front of her.
She smiled sweetly before saying," Hey."
As class progressed I grew tired because I was still not use to the time zone difference. I started nodding off and Zoey tapped me on the shoulder right before I almost fell out of my seat. I thanked her and then the bell rang. I would have bolted out but I was new so I didn't know where to find my classes.
I caught up to Zoey and her friend to see if they could help me with my schedule. As I waited for them to answer I saw Zoey chewing her lip, it made her look really cute. She scrunched her nose a little as she tried to read my schedule, she gave up and pulled out a pair of glasses from her backpack. She put them on and said that the first three classes I had with her, the rest I had with Dakota. As I walked with Zoey I noticed she was playing with the hem of her shirt, like a nervous tick. I smirked to myself for some reason thinking it was adorable that she was nervous around me. When we walked into class I was assigned as her lab partner, we had chemistry together for second period. I grabbed a textbook and asked her what page we were on. I was working up the courage to actually start a conversation with her when she suddenly asked what I was doing tomorrow after school.
"Oh, nothing," I said as I put three drops of HCl (Hydrochloric acid) in some C4H10 (Butane).
"Dakota, Ashton and I are going to the mall. Would you like to come hang with us?"
"Yeah, sure, that'd be great." As she walked away I noticed that she swung her hips and kept her shoulders straight as if she were a wrestler.
Zoey's POV
I'm not sure why she made me so nervous but she did, maybe it was her confidence. Class ended so Luna and I headed to study hall. There I asked her to join me where I usually sit, in one of the rooms of the library so that students can watch documentaries. She said alright but that she wanted to get a book first. I went to room three and waited, setting up a documentary about penguins. When she came in the room she set a few books down about cars. I looked over at her, "You're into cars?"
"Yeah, sorta, my dad's into them and I help every now and then."
"Ah, okay, makes sense." She scooted closer to me, a little too close in my opinion. She glanced at me out of the corner of her eye. She then looked down and reached her hand over to mine, intertwining our fingers as she grabbed my hand. It was an odd gesture and I didn't think anything of it because I do this with Ashton and Dakota all the time. She called my name, I turned towards her to answer her, she leaned over right as I turned and kissed me. As her lips touched mine I felt a shock of electricity run through my body, it was like her kiss was awakening my body. Her lips were so soft and full, it felt so good to have them pressed against mine. Her kiss filled me with lust and left me breathless, when she finally pulled away I was left in shock. My bottom lip throbbed a little, I hadn't realized that she had bitten and sucked on my lip during the kiss. I touched my lip as I stuck it out, she watched me, waiting for my reaction. I smiled and continued to hold her hand as we watched the documentary for the rest of study hall.
I walked out of the library by myself, as soon as the bell rang Luna had bolted with her books in tow. Throughout the day I tried to catch her and talk to her about the library but she kept dodging me. After school I asked Dakota if she knew Luna's number by chance, she said yes then gave me the number. I drove home thinking about texting her but didn't, I fell asleep with phone in hand and slept the rest of the day and night.
