Sun And Moon

As much as I dreaded going back to school, as much as I dreaded seeing Jason or Tyson, I had no choice but to attend it.

The school buzzed as usual. I noticed a few glances at me but I shrugged it off.
Just as I was about to turn into the hallway, i was cornered by three figures. And did I mention reeking of too much perfume?

"Hey Nerd. Its been long hasn't it?" Sky's voice bounced around me.

"I know you missed us didn't you?" Phoebe teased.

"Oh God. You guys stop bullying her already. Look at her. She looks ugly enough. She doesn't even have a personality to bring down. What a shame" Josephine blew her fingers and chuckled.

"Listen. I don't mean anything. Just let me be" I replied feebly and tried to move past them.

"Not so fast EverNerdy" Phoebe put out an arm to block me.

"Be careful. She might bite you. You never know, she can give you some serious babies" Sky injected.

"Rabies. God! When will you ever learn?" Josephine hissed. "Anyways, I heard about your little romantic trip with Jason. I wanted to clarify some things. What. Exactly. Happened. Between. Jason. And. Tyson" she spelled out.

"Look, I don't know-"

"No,don't you fucking tell me you don't know" she slammed me into the wall.
" I want to-" she was interrupted by a cough from someone around us.

A lanky freshman stood next to us looking extremely timid and shook.

"A rose for the most beautiful lady in this school" he read off a paper.

"Awwnn really? I'm flattered. I mean I've heard it soo many times but it doesn't hurt to hear it every now and then" Josephine let go of me as she smiled at the cowering teen.

"No. No.... It's for her. Eva" he pointed at me and my eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

A rose? For me? Was this a prank?

He pushed the bright red flower into my hand and scrambled off as fast as he could.

Josephine looked so angry, she couldn't make up a full sentence. I almost could see a red flush on her dark skin.
"Not. Over. Yet!" She screamed and waddled away with her two minions by her side.

Who could have given me a rose?
"Are you Eva?" Someone tapped me from behind.

A boy again, but this time wasn't looking scared stared at me.

"Yeah, I am."

"Um okay this is weird but I'm supposed to read you this poem. Ahem. A flower cannot blossom without sunshine.  Here is a rose for you, my sunshine" he presented a red rose and smiled at me.

"You are one lucky ass girl to have him" he commented.

Whoever this was, he sure as hell had lot of power.

"Who? Who is he?". I asked desperate to solve this mystery.

He gave me a weird look and left me alone, standing in the hallway.
I guess in going to have to figure it out alone.

I pushed my hood up and proceeded to find my locker.
So far, I hadn't met either Jason or Tyson. In fact, I hadn't met anyone. I had to take the bus this morning even though it was a hard task as the only seat available was full chewed gum and all sorts of trash.

I noticed a locker next to mine decorated with all sorts of red things. Hearts, roses, name it.

It wasn't valentines day yet heck it wasn't even Christmas yet.
As I moved closer, I noticed that it was in fact my locker.
Was I dreaming?
