~Luna's perspective~

I stand there in shock unable to processes what is happening, or what had happened that I don't remember. I back up keeping my eye's on my hands the blood covering them only to bump into someone behind me as they took that opportunity to grab me. I scream as I'm lifted off the ground, fighting to get out of whoever is holding me but to no use. I'm dragged out of the room and down the hall, students watch as I'm dragged down me screaming in the person's arms begging to be put down. I start to panic remembering my dream and how similar it was to this making me scream more until my elbow connected with the persons face as they grunt, letting go of me to cover there nose that was bleeding.

 I panic not sure what to do until I meet with the eyes of the boy I have hit, his eyes were a bright purple just like star's as his features were also like her's from his pale skin to his black hair that looked like he just got out of bed. "what are you staring at" he asked me giving me a death stare and my god if looks could kill I would be dead by now "umm" is all I manage to say looking at my hands still red as I begin to shake tears beginning to fill my "Oh for fuck sake don't start crying" I heard him say but I couldn't help "who are you?" I heard a familiar voice "new exchange student, why?"  "don't talk back like that and He asked looking at me as I look back threw blurry "I was bringing her to the office but she punched me making it a bit harder." the boy spoke looking at me with such hate but a smile formed on his face that sent shivers down my spine "your nose is bleeding are you OK?" "Oh ya it's fine it stopped  bleeding already."  "Well then I'll take her down you can go back to class and maybe clean up your face, they are already dealing with Ms.Hail." He didn't seem to like the idea but nodded anyway and walked down the hallway whistling some tune and turning the corner, I looked at who I realize now to be the art teacher Mr.Dale as he seemed to proceed with caution around me like I'm a rabid dog ready to snap at any moment "follow me."

I followed him without question until we reached the office and stepped inside, everyone's eyes were on me some students I recognized from the class looking at me, scared of me "Luna see me in my office" I jump at the principles voice looking at her but without word I follow anyway feeling everyone's eyes on the back of my skull. 

I enter the room and I take a seat in the chair as the principle sits behind her desk crossing her arms over her chest "you know why you are here Luna?" "yes," I say in a small voice as her eyes look at my bloody hands "Luna this is not like you and frankly it scared a lot of the students in the class, they said that you just lunged at her and..." She stops for a second trying to think "you beat Ms.Hail so bad she has to go to the hospital and you bit the arm of our guidance counsellor who also needs to go to the hospital and one of the students said you were smiling when beating  Ms.Hail."  I have no words to say to that as I don't know what I looked like but the thought pains me but now I know what the metallic taste in my mouth is "I'm sorry" I say weakly but that was the wrong choice of words "sorry? that's an understatement Luna you practically killed her and you think a sorry will change that makes everything better? I'm at a loss for words "n...no" I say "I have called your parents they should be here soon and I am suspending you for your behaviour I have no choice but to ex" she was cut off by the door opening and my mom's voice is heard "Luna? Oh my baby are you ok" "excuse me is she ok? you should be asking if Ms.Hail is ok after your daughter beat the living hell out of her!" My mom looked at me with anger before she smiled "I'm so sorry about my daughter's behaviour she's taking medication for it" I look at her confused as well as the principle "pardon?" 

"oh she has been acting like this recently due to some disorder and we just went to the pharmacy to get her medication like 5 minutes ago  to help with her outbursts, It won't happen again." The principle seemed to think about this "ok but she suspended for a day you may take her home now"

We leave the office I keep my head down "you should clean your hands in the washroom," my mom says looking at the now dried blood on my hands, I like looking at it as a small smile twitches at the sides of my mouth "Luna?" I snap out of my trance "right doing that now." I run into the washroom and I go straight to one of the sinks turning it on running my hands under the water and pouring some soap on my hands rubbing them together trying to get the blood of as the water going down the drain is stained red. I finish and dry my hands looking at them now clean from any blood, I look at my reflection in the mirror my eyes are red from the crying and there is some blood on my face as well as my shirt "great" I mumble as I turn the sink back on washing my face and drying it with paper towel. I look back at myself in the mirror a small smile on my face my grip on the edges of the sink tighten, as I stare back at myself "she deserved it though, bitch had it coming, such a shame she didn't die, why did I stop?" I find myself saying in the mirror as I shoot back falling on the floor curling into a ball "no, no, no" I say over and over again. I get up and look at the mirror again "what are you looking at" I let out a small chuckle but I stop and bring my fists into the mirror as it cracks at the impact as I slam my fists against it again and again until there was no glass on the frame. I breathe heavily my heart racing  as I try to calm down blood dripping from the wounds on my hands "Luna are you ok?" I hear my mom say behind the door "I'm coming out in a minute" I yell back, I look over to see one of the sink broken pieces of it on the floor as well as the tiles below broken. I look at my hands covered in wounds caused by the glass so I walk to one of the stalls and use toilet paper to wrap my wounded hands.

I step out of the washroom and my mom looks at my hands the toilet paper starting to go red "oh my god Luna what happened" "I slipped on some broken glass that was in there" I say calmly. "we will get that cleaned up when we get home" my mom mumbles under her breath saying to herself more than me.

my dad was apparently in the car waiting, as I walk beside my mom staying silently scared to speak as I walk down the hall,  students looking, pointing and whispering about me "Fucking pieces of shit I'll wipe those smiles off there faces."  

I shriek out at the voice my mom giving me a concerned look before I look down and continue to walk towards the exit only to meet eyes with Star.
