This is for one of my favourite authors ever, rusher13101! Everyone go read her stories :D I also had this idea where I do one of those 'six years later' thingy majigys for this story... if you want me to then review! :)
Hope you like it, Luna (if it sucks, lemme know and I'll write another one) :)
"No."
"C'mon!" KJ pleaded, shaking Luna's arm. She was trying to persuade her friend to come see the new movie that was having its first screening at midnight. "Why not?"
"I have to study,"
"All of your exams ended last week."
"Well, I don't want to go."
KJ crossed her arms, jutting her hip out. "I don't believe you." Luna mimicked her actions and raised an eyebrow.
It almost looked like a mirror, except for the fact that Luna was a bit taller. They both had the same dark wavy hair, the same tanned skin, same brown eyes... it was like they were twins.
Both brunettes continued to stare at each other until Luna sighed in defeat. "Alright! Maybe I don't want to go because I know Logan's coming along and... I just don't want to be the third wheel."
"But you won't! Logan and I will be on our best behaviour, I promise," KJ offered. Luna rolled her eyes. She really did want to see that movie, though. And the cinemas were only a few blocks from the apartment she and KJ shared - she could leave if she wanted to. "C'mon... we'll be the long lost music twins,"
"Plus Logan," Luna pointed out. KJ pouted. "Ugh, fine, I'll go with you! But you're paying." She accusingly pointed a finger at KJ, who eagerly nodded.
"And we're sneaking some snacks in, too. I refuse to pay $5 for a pack of skittles."
KJ left to get a bag and some snacks from the kitchen while Luna changed out of her pyjamas and into some jeans and a t-shirt. She grabbed her phone and KJ's wallet. A minute later they walked out of the apartment building. Luna rubbed her arms. The day had been really hot, but had cooled down dramatically now that it was night time. KJ turned to Luna. "You wanna go back and get a jacket?" Luna shook her head.
"I'll be fine." Ten minutes later the two girls stepped into the cinemas, where they met up with Logan and paid for their tickets. The cinema was practically empty - the only other people were a few teenagers. Luna, KJ and Logan sat down a few rows behind the front.
Just as the movie started two guys sat in the seats behind Luna, KJ and Logan; one a tall brunette and the other a tall blonde. The brunette put his feet up on Luna's chair, a foot on either side of her head as he lay back in his seat and got comfortable. Luna turned around and shoved his feet off of her seat before calmly turning around, popping a skittle in her mouth. The brunette only smirked. He leaned forward and took some of her hair in his hand, twirling the dark hair in his fingertips. "Damn, that's some nice hair," he told his friend, who rolled his eyes in response. Luna kept her focus on the movie. The brunette climbed into the seat next to her, looking her up and down. "And she's got an even nicer body." Luna clenched her fists but otherwise remained calm as she continued to stare at the movie screen. He moved the chair arm between then and sat closer to Luna, their legs touching. "C'mon babe, aren't you at least going to tell me your name?"
"Dude, stop annoying her," the blonde said from his seat in the next row. He was ignored as the brunette continued to tease Luna, doing everything he could to get her attention. "Seriously, James. Stop being an asshole."
Luna saw a half drunken slurpee in the corner of her eye. "Are you guys done with that slurpee?" she asked Logan and KJ. A few seconds went by with no answer from the couple. Luna looked to her right to see Logan's arm draped around KJ as he smirked and whispered something in her ear, while KJ bit her lip and blushed.
They were in their own little world while Luna was the third wheel.
Great.
She reached in between the couple and took the beverage, taking the straw and lid off and pouring half of the contents onto James' head. He shivered as the cold blue liquid traveled through his hair and down his neck, into his shirt. Luna leaned over and whispered, "Keep annoying me and the rest of this slurpee is going down your pants."
James immediately stood up, throwing a glare in Luna's direction before turning to his friend. "I'll see you later dude." he told the blonde. James stormed out of the theatre.
Luna turned around, her brown eyes settling on the blonde's caramel green ones. She narrowed her eyes. "I still have this slurpee. Are you gonna start pissing me off too?" Luna held up the blue drink for him to see.
The blonde simply shook his head. "Why should I?"
After a few seconds Luna's eyes softened. "You don't seem like the type anyway. What's your name?"
"Kendall Knight."
"Kendall..." Luna trailed off, a small smile on her face. She liked the way his name rolled off of her tongue. "Well, Kendall, I've completely lost track of what's happening in the movie anyways. How about we get out of here?"
"Sure." Kendall nodded. "Shouldn't you tell your friends?" Luna looked back at KJ and Logan, who were still in their own little world.
"Meh, they'll be fine without me."
Luna and Kendall quietly walked out of the dark theatre and into the lobby. They left the building and slowly walked down the cold dimly lit street. Kendall shoved his hands into his pockets and turned his head to look at Luna. "So, tell me a little about yourself," Luna shrugged and kept her eyes in the pavement in front of her.
"There's not much to tell. I'm 19 and in college, and my friend and I share an apartment. Her boyfriend is always over though, so I'm basically the third wheel. You?" She took this time to look up at Kendall.
He had caramel green eyes, which seemed a little darker because of the lighting. His dirty blonde hair was pushed to the side, and he had a little scruff on his jaw. As he talked, his dimples popped out. "I'm 20, and I live with my three best friends. One time, they all had their dates over, and I was the seventh wheel. The guy who kept teasing you was one of them, James. He might seem like a douche, but once you get to know him he's a cool guy. And... I'm rambling now, aren't I?"
"Just a little," Luna giggled. The two turned the corner of the street and continued to walk. After a few more minutes of walking a park came into sight. Kendall grinned and started to walk faster.
"Let's go to the park!"
Luna rolled her eyes but smiled anyway, picking up her pace. Once they both reached the playground Kendall jumped up and grabbed onto the mokey bars, swinging himself up to sit on them. He looked at Luna, silently asking her to join him. "No."
"Don't be a debbie downer!"
"Who the heck says 'debbie downer'?"
Kendall put his hand up childishly."I do!" Luna raised an eyebrow, trying not to smile.
"Are you always this childish?" Kendall shrugged. Luna shook her head and moved to stand on the grey platform. "I can't believe I'm about to do this..." she muttered to herself. And with that she grabbed onto the closest red bar, hauling herself up. With Kendall's help, she sat next to him on the edge of the monkey bars.
"See? Isn't this fun?" the blonde asked Luna, swinging his legs back and forth.
"I guess..." Luna and Kendall talked for a while longer, talking about everything from their childhood to their hobbies.
"Watch this," Kendall said. Securing his legs so he didn't fall, he slowly leaned back so he was hanging upside down. After swinging himself a few times he loosened his legs and flipped, landing perfectly on the tan bark beneath him. "You try."
Luna looked to the ground. It was only a little over two metres... nothing could go wrong. She leaned backwards over the edge of the monkey bars, doing exactly what Kendall had done. Luna swung herself back and forth two or three times, then took a deep breath and flipped. By the time she flipped one foot had gotten stuck in between one of the bars and she lost her balance. She cringed when a pair of strong arms caught her. "Shit I am so sorry I shouldn't have told you to do that-" Kendall was cut off by a small laugh from Luna.
"Kendall, it's fine. No injuries, no big deal."
"But I just told you to do something that could've killed you..."
"And I'm still alive, aren't I? Believe me, it's okay." A few moments of silence passed, and Luna swore Kendall was slowly getting closer to her as each second went by. Before their lips could meet, Luna awkwardly cleared her throat, reminding Kendall that he was still holding her in his arms. The blonde gingerly put her down. He let out a light laugh. "What?"
"Well, in some weird twisted way," Kendall took a step closer to Luna, a smirk gracing his lips. "You just fell for me."
Luna smiled and shook her head, stepping closer to Kendall. "I guess I did."
Luna turned around when she heard someone call her name. KJ and Logan came running up to Luna, but stopped when they saw a random blonde next to her. KJ raised an eyebrow at Luna, who smiled sheepishly, before turning to Kendall. "Hi I'm sure Luna's had fun and sorry to cut your little moment short but we really have to go so make it quick." Logan leaned over to Luna. "When we get home you are going to tell us everything." And with that, KJ and Logan left for the other side of the park to give them some privacy.
"Sorry about that..." Luna told Kendall, now feeling awkward.
"It's okay."
"Well, like my friend said, I've gotta go now. But it was really nice meeting you."
"You too." Kendall smiled, his dimples popping out.
Luna slowly walked away, only to come back a few seconds later. She crashed her lips on Kendall's, arms coming up to rest on his shoulders. He kissed back, bringing Luna closer by the waist. The need for oxygen came and they broke the kiss. Kendall's eyes flickered over to KJ and Logan on the other side of the park. "They're waiting for you." Luna nodded, giving Kendall one more kiss before walking away. "Wait!" he called out to her. "You didn't even tell me your name!" She turned back to the blonde.
"It's Luna. Luna Santiago."
