TWO

Alice was able to show Luna around the entire school with nearly five minutes left of their first period to spare. The black-haired beauty learned a little bit about her family, for example: she had four adoptive siblings who all went to the same school. Alice then explained that as the day went on she would likely meet some of them. Supposedly they weren't hard to miss. 

"Do you mind if I take a look at your schedule again?" Alice asked, taking the paper once Luna held it out to her "You have next period with my brother. History. I think you two will get along well. Oh, and you're welcome to sit with us at lunch if you'd like... I'm sure you'll have no problem finding us."

Luna smiled, "I might just take you up on that offer. Thank you."

"Of course." Alice nodded, being caught by the bell, "I'll see you later, Luna."

Luna nodded, earning a surprisingly tight and bone-crushing hug, before feeling Alice's grip leave her body. Her dark eyes were wide, she couldn't believe someone that small could have that much strength. Luna then watched as Alice waved to her one last time before turning her heel and walking away, leaving her alone in the hallway.

She glanced down at the paper in her hand and back up to the room numbers on the wall. The classroom she needed to get to was number one-o-four and currently she was at one-twenty-four, which meant that she needed to go to another hallway. She let out a sigh of defeat and embarrassment. Luna had definitely thought that it would be easy since Alice had shown her around not even ten minutes before, but it wasn't hard to admit that it was difficult to navigate through the halls with dozens of other kids surrounding you.

While looking down at the paper she continued to walk forward with the crowd that surrounded her. Seconds later she walked headfirst into an oncoming student, causing their books and binder to fall to the floor along with the papers in her own hands. Luna let out a small gasp and looked up at them, a bright red blush covering her entire face mixed with a bit of self annoyance. She immediately dropped to her knees and began to help pick up the person's belongings.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He told her, a southern accent coming out with his voice.

"No, no, don't apologize that was totally my fault." She quickly replied.

The boy also squatted down, picking up the belongings that had scattered across the hallway. His dark, golden curls covered the sides of his face as he looked down at the floor, collecting the papers. Luna licked her bottom lip and held out the writings to him, watching as he studied her extended arm. He quickly looked away and took in a deep breath, staring at the bricked wall next to them.

"Hey, do you think you can help me out?" She asked him.

The boy replied, finally taking the papers from her but still not maintaining eye contact, "Depends on what it is."

"Classroom one-o-four, the AP history class... I have no idea where it is and I don't exactly know my way around the full hallways yet." She explained, "Do you think you can point me in the right direction?"
