Falling Slowly

Only Luna

Jake looks at Marisa "Marisa we'll be late to class come on!" Marisa frowns *I wanted to walk with Ethan.* Jake sighs and Marisa smiles "Still in love with Luna?" Jake blushes "Shut up." Ethan walks me to class "You really don't have to do this." Ethan smiles "I want to because i'm your boyfriend." I frown "This is the classroom...Bye." Ethan frowns "If you can't focus think about me." I'm dumbfounded "If I wanted to focus I wouldn't think about you." Ethan smiles and leans in close "So will you think about me?" I become embarrassed "No...Goodbye." Ethan laughs and is quickly surrounded by students. I walk into my classroom *Everyone is here early...All the seats are filled except for one by the window.* "Introduce yourself." I smile "I'm Liliana James,but I go by Luna." The teacher smiles "Oh since this is advance class we go by full names no nicknames." I cock an eyebrow "Seriously?" The class nods their heads "Well then I'm Liliana and you can call me Liliana since I don't have a choice." The teacher smiles "Wonderful! You can sit by the window over there." I sit down and look out the window while kids take notes. "Liliana are you going to take notes?" I look at the teacher and point to my head "Right here. I remember everything so there's no need for me to take notes." A girl scoffs "You took notes in the other class,so you must need notes." I sigh "I only did that because class B had a low class average. So I took detailed notes and had Ethan Rogers send them to everyone in the class to study. Little by little our class average grew until out of the 8 classes our class went from 7th to 2nd in high class average.So yeah I took notes but I didn't need them." The girl frowns and the teacher smiles "Well could you pay attention?" I lay back in my seat "Sure but I already know everything about this subject." A kid scoffs "Impossible we just started the first lesson." I calmly answer "I never said I learned about it in school." The teacher becomes irritated "Then tell me A drop of food coloring spreading out in a cup of water is an example of which transport process?" "Diffusion." The kid laughs. "She didn't even read the answers." I sigh "I didn't need to hear the answers if I already know the answer." The kids murmur and the teacher sighs "You're correct...Just please participate." I sigh "Ok..." When it's break time I head to my old classroom "Michelle! Jasmine!" Michelle smiles "Luna guess what Grayson gave me this!" I look at Michelle's neck "A volcano pendent wow that's actually really pretty and matches your personality..." Michelle smiles "I know right!" Jasmine smiles "How is the smarty pants class?" I smile "Easy like really easy,but I can't say that or else they'll try to make me go to college." Ethan walks into the classroom "Luna!" I turn around "Oh hi Ethan." Ethan hugs me and I smile "You can let go now." Ethan frowns "It's not fair why did they make you leave?" I shrug my shoulders "I don't want to think about it...It was nice to see you." I look at Jake "Bye Jake." Jake hugs me "The school is full of tight asses." I laugh "Yeah and you're one of them." Ethan smiles "I'll walk you back to the classroom." I smile "Well ok..." We walk back and I look at him "Are you sad?" Ethan frowns "Kind of...I know I can see you during breaks and lunch,but of course you have your friends and then those stuck up advance kids." I smile "I have a window seat so when you get lonely just look out the window. I'll probably be looking too ,but pay attention in class still." Ethan puts his hand on my head "I'll probably be looking at the window all day...There's not a single moment you're not on my mind." I frown "You know you're making this pretty hard for me...." Ethan smiles "Good that means your heart beats for me." I smile "Yeah for now." Ethan frowns "Ah come on don't say that!" I laugh "You don't have to worry because i'm sure you heard what I said." Ethan smiles "So you did say it! You know I was so happy! Do you know how happy you made me when I heard that?" I frown "Ok ok I have to go to class....Bye." Jake looks at Marisa "You can step down don't do anything dumb." Marisa smiles "Mind your own business....Does Luna even know what i'm planning?" Jake is quiet and Marissa smiles "You want her to yourself and so you're hoping that i'll be able to break them up wow and people call me evil." Jake frowns "No i'll tell her..." Marissa smiles "Yeah right." Ethan walks in and Marisa runs up to him "Hey Ethan what's your favorite type of chocolate?" Ethan smiles "I'm only accepting chocolate from Luna this year." Marissa smiles "I see..." Later that day Marissa runs into Luna "Luna HI!" I smile "Hi." Marissa winks at Luna "So Valentine's day is coming up and I heard Ethan doesn't like chocolate at all!" I frown "Really but he likes sweets." Marissa becomes nervous "Well maybe you can bring a salad or veggie sticks?" I smile "Thanks for telling me Marissa or else this Valentine's would've been a disaster." Later that day I walk home with Ethan "How far is your house from mine again?" Ethan taps his chin "2 blocks I think..." I sigh "Today is?" Ethan looks at me "The thirteenth." My face becomes scared "Oh shoot I have to go to Jasmine's house today and drop some things off." Ethan looks at me "I'll come!" I frown "No i'll go by myself!" I run towards Jasmine's house and on the way there I grab the cooking supplies she needed. I ring the doorbell "LUNA!" I smile "Here..." I step inside and smile "Ok let's get baking!" I see Michelle and Mckenzie. We start baking and I help them out with measurements. "Luna what are you making?" I smile "Oh I was thinking of making a single big slice of my very own strawberry cake." I make the cake and everyone is amazed "Ethan is lucky to have you as his girlfriend!" I laugh "Well I do hit him so I don't know about that..." Michelle smiles "Well if you really wanted to hurt him he would be in a hospital." I laugh and finish the cake and put it in a container and a fork with a bow on it. I put it in a bag and a card with a goodie bag of chocolate balls and popcorn. I head home and put the cake in the refrigerator with a bottle of his favorite strawberry milk. I sleep and wake up and grab Ethan's gift and other things. When I arrive I see many girls confessing and giving out their chocolate. "This holiday always made me uncomfortable...Ugh.." I see Ethan and he waves at me when a bunch of girls crowd him "ETHAN PLEASE ACCEPT MY CHOCOLATES!" "NO MINE!" "MINE!" Ethan looks at me helplessly and I just laugh "Never knew being popular could be life threatening." Ethan smiles "I'm sorry,but I can't accept these." Ethan walks back to the classroom and I follow "You ok?" Ethan smiles "I've never refused chocolates before I feel different in a good way." I smile and Ethan sits on a bench and I put my bag on top of it "I think you'll be pleased...." Ethan pulls the slice of cake out with strawberries and vanilla cake and frosting. "Did you make this?" I look at him "I'm sorry I know you're suppose to give chocolates out,but I heard you didn't like chocolates so I made what I thought you would like." Ethan smiles "You really are amazing!" I pull out the strawberry milk "I bought it because it would make eating the cake easier and plus it taste good." Ethan smiles "Liliana I love you so much that these words aren't enough to express how I feel about you." My face turns red and Ethan leans in close "But this can." Ethan kisses me and my eyes widen and then I relax. When we're done Ethan smiles "I can't wait to eat this!" I smile "I'm glad you like it!" I smile "This time we'll walk back to your classroom." Ethan shakes his head "No I want to walk you back to make sure no boys try to do anything." I roll my eyes "As if anyone would have the balls to ask me out." Ethan clears his throat and I laugh "Besides Ethan of course." After dropping me off Ethan shows off the cake I made during lunch. "Luna made this?" Ethan smiles "Yeah and it taste so good! She even tied a ribbon onto the fork and she acts like she doesn't care lol." Marissa forces a smile "She really is amazing.." Ethan eats the cake "So good!" Jake smiles "Can I have some?" Ethan puts his hand out "No Luna made this especially for me so i'm going to eat it." Jake frowns "No fair..I'll just ask her to make me one!" Ethan smiles "No I texted her right now not too." Jake frowns "Why?" Ethan looks at him "Because she made this for me specifically I don't want the feelings she put into this to be given to anyone else." Grayson smiles "You're acting like a child." Ethan smiles "You're right." I look out the window when I see the girls in class frowning. "Did you hear Ethan wouldn't accept anyone's chocolate!" "Maybe we should put in his locker he'll have to take them home." I sigh then smile "Never knew Valentines day was such a hassle..." During lunch Marissa stops me in the hallway "Michelle and Jasmine are helping me out during lunch and Ethan isn't here." I'm shocked "Oh ok." Jake runs to me "Luna let's go eat lunch together." I look at him then smile "Ok!" I sit on the bench and so does Jake. "Did your mom make let me guess? Sushi?" Jake smiles "No she...Yeah she did." I laugh "Oh here I always gave you chocolate on Valentine's day here." Jake smiles "Chocolate balls and popcorn dipped in chocolate." I smile "Yeah I made some for Ethan too there in his bag but he loved the cake a lot." Jake smiles and hugs me "Thank you!" I look at him "Where's Mackenzie?" Jake frowns "I don't know." Marissa shows Mackenzie Jake hugging Luna and giving chocolate to Jake. "See I told you." Mackenzie frowns "How could she..." Ethan looks down at Luna and Jake "Liliana..." When i'm done with lunch I see Ethan in the hallway "Hey Ethan." Ethan walks by without acknowledging me "Did he not see me?" I frown "Did I do something?" Jake see's me in the hallway "Mackenzie isn't talking to me." I look at him "This is the first time i've seen Ethan not respond to me..." Jake frowns "Marissa..." I look at him "What?" Jake puts a hand on my shoulder "I'll fix this!" Jake runs to Ethan "Ethan we need to talk!" Ethan looks at Jake "Ok."
