This is my first Druna story and it is my life's mission to make this ship much more famous! Spread the religion! WE HAVE TO, MY FELLOW DRUNA SHIPPERS! I LOVE YOU!

I looked into the mirror, naked -I was skinny, too skinny. But that was alright. I just put on my baggiest grey T-shirt and black jeans. I pulled my knee lenght hair up. They surrounded me like a garment if I didn't. I didn't want to develop The new weirdo persona in Montana; not that I really cared, but it would be nice to live without shocked, irritated glances all the time... besides, my anorexia had almost gone. I didn't need to hide anymore.

'Mum, I'm leaving!'

No response.

Of course she didn't give a flying fuck that her daughter was going to a new school. I sighed, but I was used to it. Don't cry over spilt milk, I reminded myself, slung my bag over one shoulder and walked out of the door.

Montana high was as pretty a school as I expected. My absentee dad could grant anything but his own attention. Not that I was complaining, my mum was enough for even me, and I was the most patient person I had ever met.

I was silently walking when a very bouncy redhead with an exasperated looking boy jumped on me. Literally.

' Hello Hello Hello!' she shouted with no pause at all as I tried to extract myself without losing a limb. It was hard. Very, very hard. (A/N-No innuendo intended. Please.)

I was thrown off by her affection, to say the least.

'Hi... um, I'm Luna Lovegood. '

'I'm Ginny! And this is my boyfriend, Harry. Come on, show me your schedule. maybe we have some classes together.'

I smiled. Warm affection like this was hard to come by.Maybe I had met her somewhere earlier...but I hardly think I would forget hair that bright. Ginny hummed as she compare my timetable to hers.

'Nice,' she commented, 'we've got maths and bio and P. E. together. ' she grinned up at me.

PE... I was struggling not to hyperventilate.

I couldn't stand people leering at my disgustingly thin body.

Calm, calm, calm. I didn't have PE today, at least.

I kept chanting it to calm the fuck down and smiled back again.

Ginny didn't seem to notice anything off with me. Thank the gods...

' I'll drop you to your English class, ' she good naturedly offered.

'Thanks.' I noticed her boyfriend. He had a badge on his chest. Prefect.

He gave me a half-smile .

'I've got English too, so I'll go with her.'

He kissed his girlfriend full on the mouth.

Ginny gently pushed him back. Harry whispered something in her ear, and she flushed bright red. Harry chuckled. As did I.

Ginny glared at me. Oh, shit.

'No, you dirtyboy, I won't have you polluting her mind. She is my friend. Not yours.' She spoke with mock anger, but her lips carried a smile.

She tugged my hand along with her. A boy with hair as red as hers caught my interest. Ginny noticed the direction of my glance while she kept pulling me by the arm.

'Don't even think about him,' she grimaced. Harry followed suit.

'Hmm? ' I was absolutely clueless.

'He was arrested last year. For domestic abuse charges. He is a twisted bastard, okay? I don't want you near him. Ever', Ginny declared. She was protective. Of me...

It was nice to matter to someone after such a long time. I squeezed her hand and nodded before I finally walked inside the class.

What sickened me was how anybody could hit a person they claimed to love. It must be horrifying to have such darkness around yourself. Enough to warp your mind and strike a heart you once loved. I was not cruel, yet I could not empathize with it.

The bell rang and pulled me out of my mind. I swear, I didn't even realize when I got so caught up. I was still standing at the doorway of an already crowded class.

I swept my gaze to find a seat, but only one remained. A boy with platinum blonde hair sat alone. I walked over to him and sat down. Without asking him, since lonely people tended to refuse company. Not that knew a lot about them. I just tend to try to help.

He glanced up at me emotionlessly. And nodded his head just once. He didn't say a word, so I stayed silent as well. Small talk wasn't my piece of cake. I talked about things that made people think I'm crazy. So why not?

'Have you read Orbiting Jupiter?' My brain decided to ask.

No answer.

'It's this book about a kid who gets a girl pregnant but never actually sees his baby girl except in pictures through which he falls in love with his child but can't find her. But he died at the end so it is a really sad, short read. ' I ranted this all. In one breath.

Now he looked annoyed. Really annoyed.

I was about to go on a rant again, and I guess he saw that.

'Can't you shut up for a second, you skinny idiot?' He asked coldly, and I was very slightly taken aback.

'Sorry.'was all I murmured.

He scrutinized me again. His eyes... They were beautiful, silver, haunted. More striking than any other pair I had seen. His face was well crafted. My eyes landed on his lips, and for the first time in my life, I wanted to kiss them. I was a teenage girl. Of course I had kissed other boys. But I never really felt it.

After a long moment, I found that I had zoned out completely. Brownie points, Einstein!

'Um... what did you say, again? '

He, unlike many people, did not give me a weird look. He just gave a sufferer's sigh, like he knew me.

'I said, "Sorry, I didn't mean that. I just had a shitty day."'

He said this as if he's talking slowly to explain it to a child. He shook his head at me.

Colour rushed to my cheeks as I nodded my head and gave him a grimacing smile.

I took out my books a second before the teacher entered the class, and then I promptly dropped them off the desk again. The boy sitting across me snickered, and I realized that I didn't even ask for his name.

Review with feedback or any corrections, and new ideas are always welcome. I'm used to writing in the present tense, so this is really very different.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS SHIP SO MUCH THAT I'M HYPER VENTILATING RIGHT NOW!!!

*deep breaths* Okay, back to normal.

Hope you enjoyed! Me loves evvybody, to quote Daisy!
