"Share your smile with the world. It's a symbol of friendship and peace."
-Christie Brinkley

***

Matthew was one week in coma. The prom is on Friday. The doctors said that they will let him out from the hospital on Thursday. Today I was going to meet with Rachel in the mall beside the academy. I think she wants to talk about Matthew with me and buy a gown for the upcoming Christmas prom.

I sat down in a Starbucks cafe in the mall and waited for her. I took out my phone and opened up my Facebook. Then a message popped on my screen.

Matthew:
Hi how are you?

Me:
Fine, and you?

Matthew:
Good, when will you come and visit me? I'm missing your smile.

Me:
When I finish shopping.

I took my head up from the phone and saw that Rachel coming. Then I texted Matthew back.

Me:
I must go. Love you <3

Matthew:
Love you too <3

"Hi Luna." She said and sat down on a chair beside me. "How are you? Was Matthew you was texting to?" She asked and pointed at my phone and I nodded.

"I'm fine and Matthew is better, he's coming out of the hospital on Thursday." I said and looked at her. 

"I'm happy for you two, I really am. I know that you think that I may be a jealous ex-girlfriend but I aren't. I don't care about Matthew's life and who he is dating." She said.

I begun to shake my head very fast. "Rachel we aren't a couple, we are just very near. I thought that you would be angry at me for your brother."

"I'm not, I always knew my brother's secret. I always told him not to date girls to cover up his orientation but he never listened. I am thankful to you that you showed him the real side of him." Really? I? I only showed him the truth, I did nothing special.

"Oh I am so glad to hear it." I replied to her.

"But you must know that Matthew dumps girls very fast, I gave him second chance because I think that everyone deserves a second chance, but he wasted it. I maybe slapped him a few months ago, but I was really angry at him. So be careful." She gave me a very smart advice.

"Thank you for your advice." I smiled and then I asked her a question. "Are you still dating Daniel?" 

She gulped. "Yes."

"Does Lucas or Yuki know about it? That jerk literally cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend." I was in shock, I would never give that jerk a second chance.

"No they don't know it, and it's better that way." She said.

"How can you give him a second chance?" I asked her.

"You ask so many questions Luna. Because I love him, and I know he didn't mean it. Alba said to him that she was making a short film, where she needed someone to kiss, but the truth was that she wanted to hurt my feelings again." Rachel explained it to me.

"Why is Alba so awful?" I asked more and more questions.

"It's Alba we can't do nothing about her." Rachel smiled. "Okay enough talking let's go shopping. I heard that you need a gown." I nodded. "Come I know a nice gown shop in that mall." I followed her. She led me to a very expensive gown shop.

"Rachel I haven't enough money to buy a gown in that shop." I said. "We can buy a nice dress in H&M."

"Oh no, I will not leave my good friend with a H&M gown. You will buy it in that shop. The seller knows me and gives me good sales." She smiled and went in to the shop and I followed her. "Hello aunt Grace." She said and waved to an elder woman who stood behind the desk.

"Oh my favorite niece is here. Rachel I see that you brought a friend with you." She hugged Rachel.

"Yes, this is Luna Jones, Luna this is my aunt Grace Hopkins." Rachel presented us to each other.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs.Hopkins." I smiled and said.

"No Mrs.Hopkins, Grace is enough." She said and I guess she meant that I was supposed to call her just Grace.

"Okay Aunt Grace, we need your help, Luna needs a gown for prom on Friday." Rachel said and her aunt begun to stare at me while nodding her head. 

"I have a perfect dress for you." She went somewhere and came back after some minutes. She brought a blue and long gown. It reminded me of a Cinderella gown. It was beautiful. "Go and try it." I went to the changing room and tried it. I must admit it looks perfect on me.

"Come on, we must see you!" Rachel shouted and laughed

"Come on, we must see you!" Rachel shouted and laughed. I went out. Rachel took her hands on her mouth "You look like a real princess!" She begun to shout.

"Thank you." I smiled but then I realized something. I can't have that dress. It's too expensive. "I don't know if I can have this dress."

Grace looked on me with a surprise but then she looked at Rachel they smiled. "You can have this dress, and you need to have this dress. I'll give it to you, it's a present from me."

"No, not this is too much." I said.

"No you are going to have it." She said, I knew that I couldn't give up right now. 

"Thank you so much Grace, and especially you Rachel." I hugged them both and then I changed back to my clothes. Then Grace packed my dress in a bag and then we headed back to the dorms. I took my dress in my little wardrobe and then I took the bus to the hospital.

I went in to the room where Matthew was. "Hey how are you?" I smiled.

"Good, I'm so happy to see you, and your beautiful smile." He said. I came towards him and sat down beside his bed. "What did you buy?" He asked.

"A gown, but I won't show it until you see me on the prom." I laughed.

"Come on Luna." We both laughed and then we had a moment of a silence. Our faces came nearer and nearer. Then our lips became connected. I couldn't stop that kiss because I wanted to kiss him, but I always was too shy to do it. Now finally we shared a real kiss.

A/N
Ok, so maybe after that kiss Matthew and Luna will be together.  What do you think?
