Celestial Romance

Chapter 4

As Saturn came to the realization that she haven't seen her brown-haired friend, Pan the entire lunch period, she began to worry. Most of the time he was snitching or swapping people's food, but he had only seen him once. As she head down the hallway, she ran into a furious Jupiter.

     "WHERE IN THE NAME OF GALLILEO IS PAN?" the red-head screamed at Saturn. 

     "WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE HE IS?" Saturn yelled back, getting agitated.

     "BECAUSE YOUR HIS FRIEND, DUMMY!"

     Saturn curled her fists. That is the one people don't call her. "Your gonna regret that!" She yelled, throwing a punch at him. It made contact with his arm, making a sound thwack. 

     "What the hell?" yelled Jupiter. His skin began to return to its normal color as he calmed down. That would leave a mark.

     "Then don't call me dumb." Saturn shot at him.

     Meanwhile, after meeting with Ms. Sun and gaining something that he quickly shoved into his sweatshirt pocket, Pan heard the yelling and banging outside the door and decided it was best to stay hidden. As he walked down the end of the library, he remembered where he had seen Eris. Just as he was pondering this, he tripped on something. It was Eris.

     "I am so sorry! Are you hurt?" asked Pan. 

     "No, no I'm just fine. Sorry, I should have been watching more." Eris said, clearly nervous. Their talking was cut short because of Jupiter slamming the door open. He was clearly still not happy. 

     "Stealing lunch again?" Eris asked.

     "Yep." he replied. 

     "Follow me, I know a place to hide." Pan quickly followed Eris as she flew up of the ground, across to the corner with the table where the twins and Pluto were. Behind them was a closet. 

     "Get in the closet, quick." As he got in, she also followed. For having a huge crush on her, Pan felt uncomfortable this close to her. There was a small peephole out of the chestnut door panels. Inside it smelled of old books.

     Pan was comforted knowing that Jupiter wasn't going to beat him up in the near future. Jupiter was about a whole foot taller than Pan, but he could outsmart Jupiter. Saturn fought most of his fights, which he was thankful for.

     As they sat in the dark, Pan remembered what Ms. Sun had given him. He reached in his pocket to make sure they were still there. 

     As Eris stood next to Pan in the closet, she was glad there wasn't much light. Her cheeks were burning. It almost felt if she wasn't supposed to be this close to him, as if it were forbidden. She did find the feeling wonderful though, she could hear his heart beating. She still heard an angry Jupiter outside in the library, and Venus's voice as she tried to calm him down. Then, she got the sudden urge to kiss Pan. 

     Since there wasn't much light, she stealthily leaned forward, reached out on her tippy toes, but lost her balance and fell onto him. Her heart is exploded in wonder when Pan grabbed her and put her back on her feet. This time, when he was still holding her, he leaned in and pecked her cheek. She couldn't tell if he meant too or not, but when she leaned closer, putting her front against his, she could feel his heartbeat racing. 

     "I have to ask you something." Pan asked, pulling back slightly to Eris's dismay. "Would you like to go to prom with me?" 

     "Yes!" she whispered excitedly. She thought that he wouldn't ask her! "Where did you get the tickets though?" 

     "Oh, turns out Ms. Sun didn't mind buying us tickets to see us go. Who knew?"
