The Chosen Few (On Hold)

Chapter 3

"LUNA!?" I scream, not caring who hears me. I'm still in complete shock. How in the world is she here. The last time I saw here was in the galactic training school. I know I must of stood there for at least a minute gaping.

"Mercetie!? What the heck are you doing here?!"she said, her eyes wide with shock.

I went all the way to where she was sitting and sat in the seat behind her.

"I could ask you the same question." I say with a smirk. Luna teasingly rolls her eyes but gives a genuine smile.

"Oh shut-up and give me a hug!"she practically screamed. I laughed and squeezed her so tight that I was surprised she was still able to breathe.

"You don't know how happy I am to know I'm not alone right now!" She gushed, then suddenly she frowned. "I heard about what happened to your parents..."

I shudder, hearing someone say it and acknowledge it. It was like somebody firing a bullet at my heart and it wouldn't stop, no matter what. I could feel hot tears burning at the corner of my eyes, but I fought them back."Don't show any cracks in the armor." My mind reminded me. With that I took a deep breath and replied to Luna.

"Yeah, it's tough and everything,  but everyday I feel like it gets easier." I say. Lies all lies. It feels like it gets worse every day and it feels my mind for hours now, making me feel depressed and alone.

"Well, I kinda know the feeling. They destroyed my home." Luna said. I already knew who the "they" was. The Galactic Empire.

They were a army that had all different types of people from different planets terrorizing the peace. Must of the people were the onesbwho yearned fir power, and defied the monarchies set up. They were the people who were right-hand mans. They were trusted, and nibody ever thought they would betray the kingdoms. But they fell for the trick of  the Galactic Empire.

  And for what? That was power. Power over every planet. Being the ruler. But it would never happen. The Galactic Empire would off them after they do the dirty work. And I feared that one day, they would trickle down to earth and they would have all power. I shudder just thinking about it.

"Anyways, you HAVE to sit with me at lunch so We can catch up." She gushed showing all her pearly white teeth.

"Uhh, I already made that promise to someone else sadly." I say remembering what I told Macey in the hallway.

"CETIE! WE'RE SUPPOSE TO STICK TOGETHER!" She said saying that old nickname she use to call me all the time. It would always break me me into doing what she was begging for.

"Don't pull that card Luna." I warn giving her a glare.

She opened her mouth to say something, but the bell rung and the teacher walked in.

"Well, hello class. Today we have new students that just came today. Please come to the front of the class and wait for me to assign you a seat. Rest of the class, get to work. " the lady growled.

"Looks like someone forgot to take there meds." Whispered a boy in the front, but made sure everyone heard him.

MIKE!? IS THAT YOU!" the teacher screamed at him abruptly, making me flinch.

"Girl, you already know!" He said with a smirk.

I roll my eyes and look at Luna. Of course she's laughing, thinking he's apparently SO cute! Well I had to give it to her, he's not that bad. Average brown haired boy green eyes, probably a jock. Still, I had lots more to worry about.

Lots more...
