The first real conversation I had with Luna was on a Tuesday, the eleventh of November 2012. We didn't say much, but I finally got to hear her real voice.
It was sort of quiet but not a shy quiet. She wasn't shy, that was for sure.
It was a sweet but bold, pouring out of her small body, the words wrapping around me and pulling me deeper in love with her.
"You're Luna, right?" I had approached her after class.
"One of the 3,179 in America. But yes, I'm Luna." Who just knows how many people has the same name as them?
"Oh, cool. I'm Ember."
She looked me up and down, I felt insecure, I was just as skinny as her, but I wasn't a masterpiece like she was. "Hi, Ember." She smiled. A beautiful smile, her teeth looked whiter than the piece of paper in front of her.
And that red lipstick she wore, I could've kissed off right then and there.
"I've seen you around school, you stand out. Kind of hard to miss you." Something that described her, but I hadn't said it to her. She had said it to me, something never said to me before.
"Really?" I was shocked. I wasn't very special or hard to miss.
She smiled, but never replied, she got swept up in the crowd and left.
