Falling Slowly

Old Lovers

I head up to my room and Ethan follows me "Where do you think your going?" Ethan smiles "Your room." I look at him "I have a taser." Ethan backs up and I smile "Joking." Ethan looks at me "Luna I want us to be friends." I look at Ethan "Same here." I lay on my bed and Ethan looks at me "Do you feel bad about breaking your promise?" I look at Ethan "Yeah...I should've said bye to you in person...Now look what you've become a womanizer with a big heart that breaks little hearts." Ethan looks at me "I'm not a womanizer!" I look at Ethan "Mhmmm how many girlfriends have you had?" Ethan looks at me "I've never had a girlfriend" I look at Ethan "Oh but you still made out and lost your virginity from girls just to keep yourself from becoming lonely. I bet you don't even live at the Rogers house you were only sleeping over." Ethan is shocked "How'd you know?" I scoff "They don't call me a genius for nothing. Plus in that room of yours only the picture of your mom was yours but it was a copy not the real deal. Knowing you your room would of course have the real picture and things that only you felt sentimental about all around you. But the only thing was the picture and it hit me you don't live there you live somewhere else with your dad." Ethan crosses his arms "Yeah you're right they don't call you a genius for nothing..." I look at Ethan "You don't go home because your father has lots of special friends doesn't he?" Ethan looks at the wall "Yeah that's why I never dated any girls...I only kissed them because I felt bad they liked someone like me so If they asked if I would kiss them I did it anyway." I look at Ethan "Why don't you date Marissa?" Ethan smiles "Because she's my friend." I look at Ethan "But you're you so you could date her. Why won't you date her?" Ethan laughs "Why are you so shocked?" I look at Ethan "She's good for you." Ethan looks at me "Well you're right...But I couldn't date her because I couldn't get over a girl that I like." I look at Ethan "Like? That means you still have feelings for this person." Ethan nods his head " I don't know when I'll get over her." I look at Ethan "So it's a girl..." Ethan looks at me "What do you think I have a thing for guys?" I laugh "I wouldn't be surprised if you kissed a guy just to scare him off." Ethan looks at me "Yeah I could see myself doing that." I smile "So this girl have you confessed?" Ethan looks at me "Yeah but she's clueless and i'm trying to suppress the urge of just kissing her." I look at Ethan "I feel sorry for you this girl must be dumb. Knowing you you would make your feelings pretty obvious." Ethan laughs and I look at him "What's so funny?" Ethan looks at me "Nothing just go on about how dumb this person is." I look at Ethan "No i'm going to bed." Ethan smiles "Oh come on lulu!" I look at Ethan "No good night." Ethan looks at me "Ok...have it your way." Ethan closes the lights and my door. I don't notice till morning but he sleeps on my futon. I wake up "Why are you in my room?" Ethan wakes up yawning "Well good morning to you too." I look at him *how can he wake up flawless?* Ethan laughs "Luna's bed head is so cute." I cover my hair then realize I don't care "Whatever what time is it?" Ethan looks at his phone "6:50." I get up "Shit we're going to be late!" I grab our clothes and change in the bathroom and Ethan changes in my room. "You know luna two kids our age leaving the house together could raise suspicion in your neighborhood." I laugh "No one would suspect that because they all know i'm incapable of loving another human being." Ethan looks at me "You're a really bad liar." I look at Ethan "Think what you want." I walk with Ethan to school and the girls at school look at us. "Luna is walking with Ethan?" "Are they dating?" "No way Ethan wouldn't date her." "Ice princess." I look at Ethan "Let's hurry." Ethan smiles "What's the rush we won't be lat-" The bell rings and I glare at Ethan and he laughs nervously. We head to the office. "We need a pass." The lady smiles "Ok since you two do good in school." I take the slip and we both enter the classroom. Jake smiles "OOOoooo Luna and Ethan walking in late together scandalous." I look at Jake "Spell that." The class laughs and I hand mr.robinson the slip "We're excused." I sit in my seat and Michelle whispers to me "Why are you both late?" I look at Michelle "Oh because Ethan slept over at my house." Michelle is shocked "WHAT ETHAN SLEPT OVER AT YOUR HOUSE?!" The whole class is silent and even Mr.Robinson is speechless. I stand up "Before any of you get dirty thoughts which I KNOW you will.........Actually there's no way else putting it never mind feel free to think what you want." The class goes crazy and Ethan looks at me and I smirk "Serves him right." Jake looks at me "Luna did you lose your virginity?" I look at Jake "What a stupid question." Jake laughs "Yeah you right..." Mr.Robinson calms the class down "The class will be taking a test but Luna will be sent to class A." I sigh "Why do they keep calling me there?" The teacher looks at me "Because your a genius." I get up "Genius my ass I just want to be a normal teen." I walk out the classroom and Mr.Robinson looks at Ethan "Why were you at Luna's house?" Ethan calmly looks at Mr.Robinson "To sleep over. If I even tried to touch Luna she'd break my bones and then call the cops for sexual harassment." Jake raise his hand "I can second that." Jasmine and Michelle raise their hands "Yeah Luna isn't like that plus she hates Ethan." The class murmurs in agreement and Marisa frowns *that bitch* I walk into the A level class "Why do you guys need me?" The class looks at me "We want you to solve the problem on the-" "87.6." The class is in shock and I look at them "Do you need anything else?" A girl stands up "Who is the 22nd president of the united states?" "Grover Cleveland." "What day month and year was president Kennedy assassinated?" "November 22nd 1963." "Name three founding fathers." "Alexander Hamilton,James Madison,and Benjamin Franklin." "Name two of Edgar Allan poe's writings!" "The Raven and The Black Cat." "Why aren't you in this class?" I look at the students "Because I don't like not a single person in this classroom." The class is shocked "So cold." I look at them "I'm not sugarcoating anything. Because before you found out I was a genius you treated me like trash now you want me to join your classroom. I don't think so. Now if you'll excuse me i'll be going back to my classroom." I enter my classroom and Mr.Robinson hands me my test "100%." I grab the paper and fold it "What was the class average?" Mr.Robinson looks at me "69%." I sigh "Why am I not surprised. If anyone needs help with tutoring please ask me for my notes or something this stuff will be on the midterm!" Everyone smiles "Yes yes give us your notes!" I smile *Yeah I would never leave this class...I've made friends here.* Everyone is shocked "You guys Luna her smile is BEAUTIFUL!" Ethan frowns and runs up "Don't look close your eyes!" Ethan turns to me and whispers "This smile Only I want to see it no one else." I'm shocked "Ethan..." The class looks at us and Jake smirked "What are you two whispering about?" I frown "Irrelevant things...Anyway I'll take pictures of my notes and send them to Ethan and he'll send them to everyone in the class." Jake looks at me "Why don't you just send them to everyone?" I look at Jake "Because I don't have everyone's phone numbers and Ethan does so he can do it." I take pictures of my notes and Ethan looks at me "Why are you doing this?" I continue taking pictures "I don't know..." Ethan smirks "You like this class don't you?" I look at Ethan *How does he know how i'm feeling and what i'm thinking? How can he read me so easily without me needing to say a word...* "...I sent you the pictures so make a group text for the class and send the pictures." Ethan smiles "You really are a good person Luna." I sigh "Thanks I guess..." I sit in my seat thinking about how Ethan said he liked me. Marisa gets up "Luna can you help me walk this to the office?" I smile "Sure." I walk with Marisa "Marisa you've dated a lot of guys right?" Marisa makes an angry face then quickly smiles "You could say that." I look at Marisa "Ethan told me he liked me a couple of days ago." Marisa is shocked "What did you tell him?" I stop walking and look at Marisa "I told him I liked him too." Marisa looks at me "Are you guys dating?" I turn around "No when we said we liked each other I'm pretty sure it was as friends...But he seemed upset when I told him I liked him too." Marisa smiles evilly "He probably thought you liked him more then friends and felt uncomfortable about it." I continue walking...I probably shouldn't mention I know she's still in love with Ethan. But it makes me sick on how she can smile after knowing what she did sending vincent after me and using joey... I dropped the stuff off and walk off. Ethan is in the hallway and waves at me. I wave back when Marisa runs into Ethan and hugs him "Hi Ethan <3!" Ethan smiles "Hi Marisa...Hi Luna." I look at Marisa then sigh Ethan looks at me with concern "Luna?" "You two have fun i'm going somewhere." Ethan looks at me "Then i'll come with you." Marisa holds onto Ethan's arm "No stay with me Ethan." Ethan lets go of Marisa embrace "No I have to talk to Luna." Marisa rolls her eyes then smiles "She told me she's mad with you because you slept over at her house and now everyone is talking about it." Ethan looks at Marissa "But she didn't say..." Marisa interrupts Ethan "She didn't want to hurt your feelings because she likes someone." Ethan shakes his head "No she told me-" Marisa sighs "She's going to meet this person right now." I walk out into the courtyard "Shawn...?" Shawn walks out "Hey Liliana or should I say Luna? What are you going by these days?" FLASHBACK

I get off the airplane and smile "I feel better already..." A boy with blonde hair and green eyes smiles at me "You're Liliana right?" I look at the boy "And you are?" The boy smiles "Oh I'm Shawn your dad wants me to keep an eye on you." I look at Shawn "How old are you?" Shawn smiles "13.How old are you?" I look at him "12." Shawn smiles "Oh so i'm older interesting..." I smile "Well lead the way Shawn."

PRESENT

I look at Shawn "What are you doing here?" Shawn walks towards me "How can you greet me so coldly Liliana?" I look at Shawn "You should already know i'm cold." Marisa bring Ethan to where Luna and Shawn are to eavesdrop "Listen." Shawn laughs "I guess but you've grown to be quite beautiful but.." Shawn looks at Luna's pants "I see your fashion hasn't improved." I stare at Shawn "What do you want." Shawn smiles "For you to be my girlfriend again." Ethan is shocked "Again?"
