LUNA

That night when Luna got home from Karate she saw that she had two new text messages, one from Jamie and one from her Mom. “That’s odd, Jamie never texts, he HATES it. I wonder if something is wrong” Luna thinks to herself. Luna opens her text Jamie said “Hey... sorry about earlier today when you asked who I liked. I hesitated if I should or not, which was completely wrong of me to do, so yeah, sorry.”

“It’s fine. I understand that you didn’t want to tell me but well, why didn’t you want to tell me?”

“Because...”

“Because why...?”

“Because... I don’t know... I just... don’t want anybody to know”

“But, im like one of your closest friends.... can you please tell me... :(“

“I know, it’s just... I can’t, anyway, I gtg, so... bye”

“But... well, bye.”

JAMIE

Jamie laid down right as he said bye. He had to think of a better way to say “I love you”. He looked at his phone then scrolled down to his pictures. He took a long and hard thoughtful stare at the most recent picture of him and Luna. “Dude, you’re still liking her? Seriously? She’s only going to keep you in the friend zone...”  Riley’s voice had repeated in his mind. He shook it off. He can’t let Riley influence him, He loved Luna, nobody could tell him less. He took another look at his phone again, the picture of him and Luna was still there. He glanced at it for a second then tossed his phone away. He couldn’t do it, there was no way she’d be HIS girlfriend. He got up then turned off his lights. He was too tired to think about anything else. He walked back over to his bed then laid down and fell asleep.

LUNA

After she said bye to Jamie, Luna took her phone and reread the conversation. “Why do i feel so...worried? It’s not like Im in love with him... Right?” “Why doesn’t he want to tell me who he likes. Is it Jazz?! I bet it’s Jazz.” At this thought Luna’s eyes started to tear up. “Why am i acting like this?! Oh god... No, I-I-I i can’t be in LOVE with Jamie, can i? I don’t know...” As she kept pondering her feelings for Jamie, she started to think about how she felt about Riley... His awesome hair, and really cute big blue eyes, how tall he was, but then again, Jamie is also really tall. Luna decided to think about why she liked both of the guys. Riley is tall and nice and sensitive. He likes really good music. He has blue eyes, and a light tan. He’s got some muscles. Jamie is kind of the same, only pale. He doesn’t have jet black hair, he had light brown hair with bright red Highlights. He’s nice and smart and cute. He loves music that isn’t “main-stream”  “they are so different and yet... so similar. I think that i like Jamie more then Riley... maybe that’s good.” Luna admitted it to herself that she liked Jamie, and probably always had. However now it was more then she had ever liked him. She also admitted that she always had a lingering crush on him. But now it felt like more... “Do I love him?” is the only thought that kept going through her head until she fell asleep.

The next day went by pretty fast. Nothing really happened. Jazz was out sick so Luna just sat by Riley and Jamie as they worked. English and History were boring too. When Luna got home she found Jazz’s number and texted her.

Text:

Luna:You gonna be at school tomorrow?

Jazz:Maybe. I’m sick you idiot.

Luna:Sorry I didn’t know! What do u want me to get done on the rocket?

Jazz:I don’t know. The wings! Leave me alone let me sleep.
