Luna walks through the doors of the same high school she has been going to for the past couple of years. Most would say the doors are heavy but Luna was used to them since she'd been at the school she called 'the hell school'. She rushed down the hallway to her locker which like every morning was filled with papers taped on the front reading "fag,emo,bitch,go kys, etc." The hurtful words didn't bother her instead she just took them down carefully making sure to read every single one so she knew how she was seen in the eyes of her peers. When Luna finished the principal, Mr. Guerrero, walked over to her and asked in his stern yet soothing voice "may I see your wrists today?" He looked at Luna's wrists as she pulled up her sleeves, he saw nothing but old scars he then said "alright, what did they put on your locker today?" Luna hesitated before handing him the papers he read through them with care, when he finished reading them he put the papers in the binder he carried everywhere that was full of the papers from Luna's locker he looked into Luna's eyes which were watering now "we'll have an assembly on bullying tomorrow, alright" he then walked away from Luna when she knows he is gone she mutters to herself "why does he care nobody else does" she opens her locker which is filled with more papers that she doesn't care to read and just tosses them in a nearby trashcan she wipes her eyes grabs her essay for English from her locker and closes it only to find Mattie Hope,the biggest bully in the school, walk down the hallway Luna tries everything to avoid her and her bitch squad but what do you know somehow they make themselves from the middle of the hallway down to the left side of the hallway and "accidentally" bump into Luna making her books fall out of her hands along with her essay Luna hurriedly crawls to her items and pick them off the floor on her hands and knees as everyone laughs at her just then a familiar voice that of a woman come over the intercom, "Luna Sanchez please report to the principles office as soon as possible thank you" everyone stops laughing and starts oohing and saying she in trouble when they stop talking Luna recognizes her voice, Vanessa from the office, Luna gets the rest of her things and speed walks to Mr.Guerrero's office, when she gets there the principal is standing in his office with a wide grin on his face "Luna, I have a surprise for you." says Mr. Guerrero as he steps aside to reveal a tall girl with a smile on her face and medium length dark brown hair and tan skin she is wearing ripped blue jeans and a white short sleeve shirt Luna stares at the girl and thinks to herself "She seems so happy but... I know that look... The look in her eyes that says... Hiding my pain... I know that look because I-I've had that look in my eyes since third grade" Mr. Guerrero breaks the silence and says "Luna, This is Jazzy-Jazzy Crescent you will be her guide around the school" Jazzy looks at Luna and extends her hand "Hello, Luna is it?, I'm Jazzy but you can call me whatever you like" says Jazzy her hand is still in front of Luna but Luna just stands there stiff as a brick until Mr. Guerrero breaks the awkwardness by handing Jazzy a school uniform which snaps Luna out of her trance and back to reality Jazzy smirks and says "You were checking me out, huh?"  Luna stutters "No-i just-its not like that- I was just- I ugh..." Sighs Luna Jazzy looks at Luna who is now hanging her head with her eyes closed "Hey, it's alright 'cus I'm damn fine to look at" says Jazzy as she makes Luna smile when on the inside Luna is screaming "WHY WAS I CHECKING HER OUT I HARDLY KNOW HER?!?!?!?" Jazzy smiles turns around and walks into the office bathroom to get changed but before she fully walks in she winks and blows a kiss at Luna. Luna puts her hand on her forehead and looks down "what's wrong?" Asks Mr. Guerrero Luna looks at him and says "Nothing, I'm just tired and I have a question..." "Anything" answers Mr. Guerrero " Why didn't you assign her to Mattie Hope or one of your other choices why did you choose me?" Asks Luna Mr. Guerrero opens his mouth to say something but Jazzy walks out of the bathroom just in time for him to stop himself "Oh Jazzy,Hello" Luna looks at Jazzy and admires her eyes, and hair, and beauty of her altogether as she thinks to herself "her eyes they are... they are brown the color of my grandmother's whom I feel safe with, no wonder I felt safe with Jazzy, but they are hiding something from her past maybe or...is she hiding something for the present, her hair is a dark brown which she looks perfect in and it, it just makes her so beautiful, she looks as if God has sent an Angel to Earth... and she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard it's soft and calming to listen to it has a sweet sound to it, I wonder how she sings... she's beautiful inside and out.....DAMN IT I DO LIKE HER!"
