03 - a new start

Luna's POV

"I don't want a going away party." I whined.

"It's going to be fun!" Zaray says cheerfully.

"How is it going to be fun? I'm going to be around all these people that act like they are proud of me all of a sudden when they never gave a shit about me until now." I say, changing out of my pajamas even though it's almost four.

"It's not going to be that bad. Plus, it's the last time we'll see each other until probably thanksgiving." Zaray states. Zaray got into Princeton University. Even though it's just in New Jersey, we'll both be busy and when Zaray comes to visit she wants to stay for at least a week, not just a day or two.

"I'm not even going away. I'm just going to college, no big deal." I say, falling back onto my bed.

"But you aren't going to just any college. You are going to NYU, your dream school. You've been dreaming about this since you were nine, aren't you excited?" she asks.

"Of course I am, I just don't want a party celebrating it."

"Well that's too bad because you are having one." Zaray grabs my arm and drags me down stairs to what I'm guessing is the party.

I just can't wait until I get out of this house.

Nick's POV

"I'm so proud of you, honey!" My mom says, embracing me into a hug. I knew this day was coming but I was hoping I could avoid it a little longer.

"We know how hard you've been working all four years of high school, and you did it. You got into your dream school!" My dad says, a huge grin plastered on his lips.

Everything he was saying was a lie. I did work hard but not as hard as I could, not as hard as other students. I have no idea how I got into my first choice, they should've gave the spot to someone else. It's not even my dream school. In all honesty, I didn't care what college I got into as long as I got accepted to one. Of course my parents see it differently, since I'm their little angel.

"I'm going to miss you so much." My mother says, tears forming in her eyes. There it was. Everything I was trying to avoid. I never quite knew how to comfort a crying person.

Tomorrow is the day. The day I get to really live my life. It's a new beginning, a new me.

Short chapter I know pls don't kill me. I haven't updated in almost a month once again oops. Next chapter will be way more interesting. I needed this chapter so I could lead into the next.

That Miguel guy texted me again but I didn't know it was him since I deleted the old conversation. This is basically what happened

Then he never replies and it's like shouldn't he have remembered from last time that he got the wrong number?? I'm gonna play along next time lol.
