I only told the Moon

Chapter 1

She gets to wake up peacefully. She gets to smile, she gets to laugh, she gets to cry and she gets to live life without a mere memory of her sleep. That's okay for now. That's beyond okay.

The sun has finally set but her mouth was expressed with awe. Nobody appreciates the sun as much as Camila did.

"That was beautiful..." she said to herself as the sky dimmed and slowly covered the whole city and revealing the skyscraper right below her feet.

"Don't you think it's dangerous for you to hangout here?" Her shoulders flinched in between the sentence of a familiar voice. She turned her head and saw a chocolate skin figure with her arms crossed.

"jesus, Mani. You scared me..." her hand rested on her chest as she felt many tiny thugs from it. The older woman just stared at her.

"Says the one who was seating at the edge of the building." Camila gave off a small laugh with her nose crinkled up. She tapped the seat next to her offering normani but she only earned a step back.

"Hell no girl. I'm not as dauntless as you are."

"Suit yourself." Camila whispered hoping it won't be inaudible but Normani lip read. Her attention gazed back to the most chaotic sky with various clouds. It was still breathtaking. The wind was whistling through the ears of the maidens as they took off without no tail. Camila closed her eyes and ceased the moment.

"You like the sky so much." The older girl mentioned receiving a nod from the little girl. Her sun kissed skin shined as the last second of the sun was set to hide.

"Let's go inside." The latina retrieved her body from the balcony and walked towards her best friend but she seemed lost herself.

"Oh my god, Camila..." she gasps as she grab the younger girl's forearm. "The clouds.." the slender arm slowly lifted and pointed at what the gods have stirred up for the day. Camila sighed as she smiled at her friend. How can I live without you?

"Noctilucent." The high voice said bluntly.

"What?"

"The clouds in front of you," Camila pointed at the sky "those are Noctilucent Clouds."

"How the hell did you know that?" Kinking her eyebrows, she adjusted her gaze to the brown-haired girl only to earn a shrug from her. They were looking at the same sky together now and all they found was serenity.

"I read it from mom's Journal. It was written there that she sees high cloud refracting light. But the light was no where to be found."

"I feel like I'm covered." Normani couldn't help but comment "i feel very safe."

"Yeah, maybe the sun is too." Hearing a deep sigh, Camila returned her gaze to Normani and helped her stand up.

"...and we learned about clouds the when we were in high school." Camila said a matter of factly. Normani rolled her eyes and crossed her arms as they walked back inside their small dorm

"Whatever, smart ass."

Come to think of it, it was an amazing day for Camila. She got to wake up right before her alarm, she got to cook breakfast for her friends, she got to school with a chunk of time to spare, she got to help the old lady carry her groceries, she got to witness her daily scenery. — everything was beyond her expectations today. A small smile formed on her lips as it lifted her face. Her heart felt overwhelmed making her clutch to her coat.

"What is it?" The older woman asked

"Hm?", A surprise escaped Camila's mouth as her eyes popped "nothing."
