Lingering Moon Drop ♠ON HOLD ♠

Chapter 2: March

Every day, as usual, I played inside of the computer lab. Day after day I would pass the hours inside of this small little utopia I call my own. I skipped a class or two, sometimes even a whole day's worth of school just to play in this small area that I loved.

Currently it was lunch time and per usual my friends, Max and Julian, would typically bother me and attempt to persuade me into the lunch room and into parties. "Hey," started Max, "We're throwing a party tonight, wanna come?" He said, and as usual I replied with a "Only if everyone is coming."

Julian sighed, "You're the first one we asked so that you can come with us to invite every one..." "But, I guess it didn't work..." Max added. I thought about it for a second, me inviting people? Sounds like fun I guess, "Actually..." They two looked up from their sulking fest, "Maybe i'll actually come along with you guys for a change..."

Julian and Max look surprised for only a few seconds, then suddenly stupid looking grins exploded onto their faces. "March acquired!" They both swung their arms around my head and rested then around my neck and started marching of with me. Jeeze, what'd I get myself into?

The bright lights and warmth of the caffeteria greeted me with hundreds of people. The bustling and buzzing was as crazy as its always been (hence the reason I don't eat in here).

It only took a mater of seconds for the girls to notice my presence and next thing I knew I was surrounded by a hoard of girls. "Wanna eat with us?" One asked, "Hey I'm going to a party, can you come as my plus one?" Said another. But what shocked me the most if all these comments were "Can I talk to you in private."

I mean sure it was from another social butterfly but still, it shocked me for some odd reason. Well, it wasn't odd and I guess I should say she's not a social butterfly fly, to say anything, getting a "Can I talk to you in private," from the Queen Bee is almost rare, but of course, I don't even reply.

My buddies cut off all them and proceeded with the plan; "Ladies, ladies, we understand you love us," the girls chimed in with a little bit of dismay, "and therefore, Julian, March, and I invite you to a party!"

As expected, I bet the only three words they listened to were "March, invite, and party".

"Come on dude," Julian pitched in, "Let's go, announce it on the stage." We rough our way through the enormous amounts of girl, probably nocked down a few, but it didn't seem to change their opinion of me.

Slowly, we walked to the stage, jumping up what seems to be like 7 feet high. We stood up from the crouching position we were in and tapped on the microphone fa few times to gather attention.

My friends handed to devise to me saying, "You speak." I nodded, not honestly caring who spoke.

"Ahem," I gathered everyone's attention imediatly when they heard my voice. Everyone (except the girls from earlier) were surprised to hear my voice due to my lack of presence in classes.

"So Julian, Max, and I are throwing a party, and everyone is invited!" The girls within the room, including majority of the loners went into a frenzy when I announced it.

"And this time, we promise." Max and Julian swung their arms around me one more, "March will be attending!"

Shortly after the crowd rang down back into their normal groups we got off stage. The entire time people we're cheering and celebrating. They just happened to love when I was at parties for some reason...

I only said quite a few words, and then boom, a crowd is listening, content on hearing some sort of news. There was only one slight problem though that was not letting me go to the party though. This one singular girl...

She seemed uninterested the moment I walked in the room, not that i'm trying to attract anyone. She didn't seem like any of the loners either, in fact she just give off the air that speaks "Would you kindly kill yourself?" Which I don't entirely approve of...

"Hey, do you know her?" I asked Julian. He looked in the direction, shrugging his shoulders. "Who? I don't see anyone?" Excuse me? "Julian, I know you can see her. Stop only looking for your 'babes' that you so continuously speak of." I sigh with a bit of poison.

He sighs as well look at the location once more his eyes landing on the girl with headphones. "Oh, you mean her?" I nod. "Yea, she's famous among the girls. Her name is April, April Grey. She's not the Queen Bee as you know, in fact she's not even part of the royal quart within the school. She's more of a stress ball everyone can use I guess, people tend to bully her a lot, although it never really reaches her mostly because her computer isn't involved within the case." I looked back at my friend. He doesn't seem to enjoy talking about her, but she's just to interesting to pass up like this. "Why don't people do that to her even though they almost try everything to break her? They probably know it's in her computer too..." He turned to face me, clearly starting to get chills. "April..." he began.

Julian pulled me closer, "This is top secret. Very, very, top secret." He took a deep breath in, I'm going to take blind guess that we are going back into the past...
