*Luna's POV*

My eyes quickly fluttered open as I heard a loud vibrating noise echo throughout the room. I closed them once again hoping someone in this house would be nice enough to turn whatever it was off, but I was mistaken after I heard it once again. I sighed dramatically before sitting up and looking around the room only to find that it was my phone vibrating on the coffee table in front of me.

I rolled my eyes wondering who could possibly be calling me. Stephen had told me earlier that he had classes all day and a few meetings so he wouldn't be able to talk to me until later. I was at my mother's house and decided to take a nap so I know it wasn't my parents. Maybe it was Savanna; I hoped she wasn't calling about something going wrong with the dresses.

"Hello?" I finally remembered that I had to actually answer my phone if I wanted to figure out who it was that was calling me. I paced around the living room as I waited for the mysterious caller to answer me. I should have checked caller ID, they install that on all phones now-a-days. I'm an idiot.

"Hey, is this Lune?" I smiled to myself and glanced outside as I heard the Australian accent through the phone.

"Yes, is this Ashton?" I giggled slightly to myself and cursed myself for always laughing whenever I talked to him. I couldn't help it; his bubbly personality always made me happy. That was one of my favorite qualities about him: no matter what mood he was in or what mood I was in, he could always make me smile and laugh. He was a nice type of person to keep around.

"Heck yeah it is!" He said confidently and excitedly but then I heard his laugh seize and some whispering in the background of the phone. I heard him whisper an 'okay' and wondered who he was with. "Stephen gave us your number, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind. It was stupid of me to not give you guys my number the other day. How's it going?" I questioned and wondered if he would tell me who else he was with. Maybe Luke was there with him. Not that I cared.

"Look to be honest, I didn't really call to chat." The smile on my face faded as he said in a serious voice. It was probably because of whoever was in the background because I knew Ash and being serious wasn't at all like him. That's what I was hoping for. "But, I figured we could all catch up and chat tonight for dinner or something."

"Yeah, that sounds great actually. I'd love to hear about what you're all doing now. It's been awhile." I smiled at picked at my chipping nail polish that I needed to redo. Maybe I could paint them before dinner tonight.

"Okay, we'll text you the time and place. Save seats for the four of us though, you know how we're always late for everything." I laughed very loudly, almost too loudly for my liking but it was true. I think at least one of them used to be late to school every day. The first time we all arranged to hang outside of school together, I thought they stood me up because they were so late. We both said our goodbyes, I hung up the phone, and decided to lay back down on the couch. I began to wonder if they were forcing Luke to come or if he really wanted to.

*Later that Night*

I sat in the little cafe just about five minutes away from my apartment; probably ten minutes away from Stephen's apartment, where I had spent the afternoon after leaving my mother's house.

Ashton was right; I did need to save four spots for them considering they were already ten minutes late. I stared out the window and watched as the taxi cabs drove by. The head lights brightened the night time sky and I couldn't help but smile. I loved everything about my city, especially at night time.

Suddenly I saw shadows of people walking outside the cafe. They were all tall, but one was significantly taller than the others. They were all laughing, shoving each other around. One of the shadows tripped before he continued walking. I snickered to myself because I knew that was Michael. He shoved Calum, probably for making fun of him.
