apartment twenty-three l.r.h.

0.1

"Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four." Luna slides the key to her new apartment out of her pocket to unlock the door. She drags her heavy bags into the ,somewhat large, room and lets them collapse around her. She lets out a long heavy sigh "new beginnings" she whispers quietly to herself. Luna grabs her phone and sends her best friend Mel a text asking her to come over and help her unpack.

   Luna and her parents had already set up her furniture earlier on in the week so she just had to unpack her clothes and things like that. Luna carries one of the bags to her room and begins hanging up her clothes. A loud bang come from the living room causing her to jump. She hangs up the shirt she has in her hand before going to the door. She opens the door slowly to reveal a really tall blonde haired blue eyed boy. "Hi I'm Luke your neighbor" Luke says looking the new girl up and down not to see if she has a nice body not that at all. Just so admire her choice in clothing. She's wearing black work out shirts that cling onto her legs and a grey hoodie with red writing on it.

   "I'm Luna" she speaks quietly because she is quite shy around people she doesn't know very well. "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." Luke speaks softly with a slight smile his words causing Luna's cheeks to flush red. Luna had a boy call her anything like that before she had never even had an actual boyfriend. "HI!" a loud voice from behind Luke yells and he lets out a sigh. All he wanted was to talk to the beautiful haired girl in front of him. "Mel?" Luna asked only to see the girl with freshly dyed red hair peek out from behind Luke. "Who's the guy? He's cute." She speaks walking into the apartment "I'm her neighbor" Luke spoke to the red haired girl "oh the boy next door" Mel says winking at her best friend. "Well we need to unpack but maybe you can talk to Luna another time?" Mel says before closing the door. "Mel! That was so rude!" Luna scolded her best friend "what's with you today? Normally you act like my older sister."

   "Well if you must know. Ashton asked me to come over to his house for a party tomorrow," Mel spoke quickly "no I'm not going Mel." Luna said quickly before the red head could continue. "Yes Luna you are now let's finish unpacking so we can plan what we are gonna wear!" Luna rolled her eyes knowing it was no use to try to argue with the taller girl. "Oh Sam and Belle are coming too." Mel informed her walking off to find her bedroom.

Luke looked over at the clock which read 1:35 a.m. Luke never really slept much ,but tonight something felt different. Normally he would toss and turn trying to fall into a deep slumber ,but tonight. Tonight he felt content with everything. All Luke could think about was the girl next door. The way her dark chocolate brown hair fell in front of her face and the way her hazel eyes that were the perfect mix or brown and green looked up at him. The way her cheeks turned red when he called her beautiful.

Luke was determined. He was determined to get to know Luna better something about her intrigued him. Maybe the way he couldn't quite read her emotions by looking into her eyes. Or maybe how he didn't know why she chose to move into the rosewood apartments. But he was intrigued and he was determined. He wanted to know everything about her and he wanted to share all his secrets with her. He wanted to know everything.

Luna on the other hand was sound asleep. Her best friend Mel had gone home around 12:00 after making sure her best friend was completely settled. Luna was also intrigued by Luke. She wanted to know what he had hidden underneath his sparkling blue eyes and perfect appearance. Yes Luke was very attractive ,but to Luna attractiveness didn't phase her. It was what was inside that counted as cheesy as it sounded. Her mother always told her that. Everyone who knew Luna knew she tried to see the best in everyone though there were very many people she disliked. She didn't show them that.

Luke wondered if Luna was still awake he thought about knocking on her door. He stopped himself with the thought that she could be asleep and he didn't want to disturb her. So Luke laid there under his black duvet listening to his clock buzz. He thought about the brown haired girl nonetheless and Luna dreamed of the boy in apartment twenty-three.
