The Other Me

Fitting in

Luna's pov
"So you don't have a..dude equivalent for she-s-p?" I asked. I was happy to see Sol so much better than earlier. "No nothing like that, I can't sense things, how does that even work?" He asked with a laugh. "I don't know, at least you can fly!" I added. It was weird to think that this guy was me from another dimension, so I didn't. "Why do you get to wear blue, it's like my favorite colour!" I said. "At least it's normal to wear skirts over leggings" he said straight back. "Might I suggest bringing sol to school tomorrow, after all it's probably the same curriculum" Shela spoke up. "Can you do that?" Sol asked with a smile. "Let me guess, you love education too?" I asked. "Of course, the random information is great" he replied. "Ok it's all worked out, now you two need sleep, you have school in the morning" Shela joked.

We arrived at school the next morning and stood at the gates for a moment then we walked in. "Luna, who's you're new friend?" Xander asked as he walked over with Jack. "He's a friend, his dads a friend of my mom and they are going through some difficulty's right now" I said trying to sound convincing. "Well I hope things get better, welcome to the school. "I'm Xander and this is Jack" he cheerfully said. I looked over to Sol and saw that he looked sad. "Anyway...we have to go, I promised Sol I'd help him catch up on what we have done so far" I said and grabbed his hand pulling him over to the side of one of the buildings. "Are you alright?" I asked looking at him, he looked like he was on the verge of tears. "Just breathe" I added. He seemed a tiny bit better. "You're friends, are just like mine" he said with a hint of melancholy in his voice. "I know it must be hard but you can get through this, you are me after all" I said. "Let's just get to class" He said and I gave him a hopeful nod.

We sat down in history class and got out our books. in. "Oh my goodness, is that a picture of a guy version of Georgina Washington!" Sol asked a bit too loudly. I put my finger to my mouth then whispered "Georgina Washington, do you have a girl version of the musical Hamilton in you world?". "Alexandra Hamilton, the most under appreciated making mother" he said with a sigh. I gave a chuckle at the girl equivalent to founding father. "Sorry miss Hamdon, I Hope im not interrupting but would you mind sharing what's so funny with the class" Ms Jones said as she approached the table. "Well we were talking about the topic of reversed gender in history and the implications of women being in charge when we thought of the female version of the founding fathers, it wasn't very good because Sol came up with it on the spot, I couldn't help but chuckle" I calmly explained in a scholarly voice. "Well that's very interesting indeed, perhaps if we finish our work quickly enough we can have a class discussion" She chirped.

"She likes when people sound intelligent, makes her feel intelligent, like she's actually thought us something" I explained. "So wait does England have a king in your world,oh wow you're worlds America hasn't had a male president yet!" This is so weird I whispered. "Look I get that You're exited by this, I am too but I really want to fit in while I'm here and my world is basically the poler opposite to yours" Sol said still whispering. I was about to say something else when the bell rang for next class. The next class I sat with him and Xander. "So?" Xan asked expectantly once we finished our work. "Well, What?" I asked back. He looked past me to Sol. "Oh that, exactly what I told you and jack" I quickly replied after realizing what he meant. He gave me an unconvinced stare. "Ok he's not a son of my moms friend but he's important to Shezow" I said, trying to keep it short. "Why do you look so similar?" He then questioned. "Long Story" I simply replied as I noticed the teacher looking at us. I looked over to Sol and saw him happily writing the short essay we had been given. I smiled to myself before going back to my own work.

When lunch finally came around we all sat at a table with Jack. "Sol, What are your interests?" He asked. "Music, gaming and fightin...." he started but I cut in "And fencing". I stared at him for a second and he understood why I had stopped him. Xan and Jack were both part of some compulsory sport thing for certain people so me and Sol were alone. "I forgot that I never told Jackie" he said. "So does your world's version have a crush on dudepow?" I asked jokingly. "Xandrea says that all the time!" He replied with a small laugh. "Thanks Luna, I appreciate everything you're doing for me" He said sincerely. "Shezow has to help anyone in need so of course I would" I replied "Now let's get ready for our next class!".
