[COMPLETED] Solaris Monroe loved the moon. Bade Sommers loved to run, track. At school they were people who never seemed to cross paths. She knew who he was, and in some weird way, he knew who she was. But they both didn't know that. On the last day...

When the moon is full, it begins to wane.

I was out of it. Completely out of it.
I didn't know if it had to do with it being the last day of school, or maybe I overworked myself last night at Cy's (a burger place I worked at after school). But one thing I did know for sure, was that something didn't feel right.
For instance, my mom had to wake me up this morning. No one ever had to wake me up in the morning; I'm somewhat punctual.
Another thing, I didn't go for my morning run--I'd missed it. And you know, I was a runner, a person who loved to run. I even did track. So...what gives?
My sister Samantha, who was into reading things such as the stars and moons and all that mumbo jumbo, told me that my zodiac sign might've been in some house, or going over Saturn...? I really didn't know what she was talking about during breakfast. If all, I kinda blocked her out while eating my toast—and already running late, I didn't want to actually be late for school listening to her ramble about stars and signs; basically just stupid stuff.
Oh, and my girlfriend broke up with me, via text.
I should've seen it coming, considering we had a really bad argument last week, and she told me I had been acting weird. But she'd been acting pretty "lunar" herself, as well.
A couple days ago...
"Bree," I said, "Just answer my question. Please?"
"Why are you acting so weird?" She responded, "Is it because of what I said the other day?"
I looked at her quizzically.
"What did you say the other day?"
"Nothing..." She didn't make eye contact with me. "Besides, I forgot what I even said."
Whatever, I thought.
It'd been like that for awhile. My relationship with Bree had.
I didn't know why things had become awkward between us, but my guess was she thought I was going crazy.
