Chapter 2
*Luna's PoV*
As I left the music room I felt some satisfaction and guilt at the same time. 'Why do I dislike him so very much? Just because he didn't notice me doesn't mean I have to be a jerk to him. Well he doesn't like me anyway so why bother being nice right? Well if I was him I probably wouldn't like me either being nothing but rude and sarcastic.' I sighed loudly and decided to apologize to him about my current behavior. I still wondered what really bothered me about having Xerxes Break around. Just then I see Sharon coming towards me. "Hello Luna. You look awfully puzzled. Is something troubling you?" I tried to read her face. I know she's close with Xerxes Break, so I figured she might be asking because Break might get some satisfaction of knowing something was bothering me. "Not really…" I said unconvincingly. Of course I suspected she wouldn't fall for my lame answer. "Luna-Chan your answer was most unconvincing now please, tell me what's wrong. Does this have something to do with Break?"I turned my face in embarrassment. " … I suppose you can say this." I said reluctantly. Sharon smile; it was such a pleasant smile it made me feel slightly better. "You can tell me about it if you want." I looked at her and came to the conclusion that I trusted her enough that I could talk to her my miniature problem. So I spilled out all my emotions and my problems to her. All she did was nod and listen. This comforted me somehow; that she never asked a single question when I was talking to her she just sat and listened. The she finally spoke up. "Luna-Chan I don't think you dislike Break at all in fact I think it's quite the opposite." This surprised me; then out of nowhere I laughed. "Hahaha! You must be joking right?" She looked as serious as she could possibly be. "I think you should give it some thought Luna-Chan you might like Break more than you think." I still thought the possibility of that was one in a million; that is until she did this. "What if I told you I was in love with Break?" This shocked me and I fell into a state of sadness. I looked down and blushed and said sadly "Well that's nice isn't it." The she smiled as if something was funny. "See you do have feelings for Break you've just hidden it with signs of dislike. Personally I think its cute covering up your feelings with dislike and not even knowing it." Her saying this kind of annoyed me; it made me feel like such a school girl, but I got over it quickly. I smiled gently at her and gave her a long embrace. "Thank you so much." I whispered in her ear and then I left to return to my home hopefully returning tomorrow.
*Oz's PoV*
I overheard everything Luna and Sharon were saying. Everything I heard seemed so unreal. My feelings for Luna grew much more than I thought they would and yet now I hear that she is in love with Break. This angered me. Break doesn't even like her and yet she falls for him! Then I felt a huge resentment for Xerxes Break. 'How dare he steal Luna away from me! He doesn't even do anything to deserve her! Ugh!' I then walked into the music room and decided to take out my angry on the one who enraged me the most at the moment. Xerxes Break.
*Break's PoV*
I was still in the music room, rethinking everything that just happened. Then once again a simple creek of the door interpreted me. I turned and glared thinking it would be Luna Stillwater once again, but it was Oz. I quickly smiled and asked "Well hello Oz what brings you here?" He didn't answer; he seemed to be glaring at me. "Why do you do this to me Break hmm? Is it so wrong to like someone else, maybe you were jealous of my liking her and slowly getting over Sharon-Chan so you went and had to steal her away from me." This confused me I had no idea what he was talking about, but he sure seemed furious about it. "I do not understand what you are talking about Oz I have not stolen anyone in anyway. It seems these were the wrong choice of words for with that Oz's emotions had exploded. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVENT STOLEN ANYONE YOU STOLE MY PRECIOUS LUNA-CHAN AWAY FROM ME YOU SELFISH BASTARD!" Now this frustrated me. "What in god's name gave you that idea? If you haven't notice Miss Luna and I do not get along and greatly dislike each other!" Saying this just raised the flame in the fire of Oz's rage. "PLEASE LIKE SHE COULD EVER DISLIKE YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER TALKING TO SHARON-CHAN! ALL SHE COULD TALK ABOUT WAS BREAK THIS AND BREAK THAT; I BET YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT HER YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT!" And with this I snapped. "I HAVE NO FEELINGS FOR MISS LUNA! AND EVEN IF I DID IT WOULDN'T EVEN MATTER I STILL WOULDN'T CHASE AFTER HER. SO GO RUN ALONG AND THINK ABOUT YOUR SO CALLED "PRESCIOUS LUNA-CHAN" I ALSO COULDN'T CARE ANY LESS ABOUT HER FEELINGS FOR ME SO NEXT TIME YOU SEE HER TELL HER I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT HER OR HER PATHETIC FEELINGS!" Oz seemed satisfied with my words and left with great pride although I on the other hand regretted every word I said. I didn't mean anything of what I said it was just Oz infuriated me so that it just seemed to come out. What Oz said made me think. I will admit I am attracted to Luna Stillwater, but that was it nothing else. Then I thought about her laugh and the how I felt when Oz gave her that necklace. 'Lousy Bastard' With this it became clear that I was not only attracted to her but also maybe falling for her. 'O boy...' Those were my last thought of the day for when I looked at the clock that was placed neatly near the piano it was 12:41. "My my, what a day it has been…what a day indeed well I'll be off to bed now" speaking to no one, but myself. I stood up and proceeded to my quarters.
*Next Day*
*Luna's PoV*
I woke up as early 6 am so I can go over Oz's place. I took a nice warm shower and found my cutest outfit. 'If I'm going to apologize I might as well look cute especially after I finally accepted my feelings for Break. I also want to look my best and a little flirty.' I'm usually not a flirt, but I think getting to Break after what I've been doing to him an apology might not be enough. I walked out the front door and straight to Oz's place. After about an hour an half of walking I was finally there and my feet were killing me! "I never should have worn my heels to walk to the mansion." I said aloud. I knocked on the door and not to my surprise Oz opened the door. Oz looked somehow …different. Oz said in a flirty tone "Well hello if it isn't the prettiest thing in town don't you look like something to bite into" he finished with a smirk. This made me blush. Oz's smirk grew even wider "Aw isn't that cute you're as red as an apple." He lifted my chin and went close to my face as if he were about to kiss me. I didn't know what to do; I was freaking out, but luckily I didn't need to do anything.
"My, my what do we have here?" I recognized who it was anywhere. My face was even redder than before. Ever since I and Sharon had that talk I haven't really figured out how to act around Break yet, since as you all know I use to act like I disliked him. "Nothing! Oz was just letting me in!" I said quickly. 'It had to be him that had to see this how embarrassing!' I thought to myself. I turned to Oz, whose flirty expression and tone had completely faded and seemed to be looking angrily at Break. "Yea we didn't do anything Break...but it's not like you care if we did anyway." Oz grinned slyly as if he knew something. Break's expression also changed as if he was taken aback by him saying this. "Well enough about that I am here to talk to Miss Luna about something. You may talk to her after I'm finished" Break said looking directly at me. I didn't show it in my expression, but I was super excited that he wanted to talk to me. "Come along Miss Luna we must not waste time." Break said, while he grabbed my hand and took me away to the balcony.
*Break PoV*
I grabbed her hand and took her towards the balcony. Her hands fit perfectly in my hand. I turned around to see her expression she looked calm. At that moment I realized how much taller I was than her, she looked so very tiny compared to me it was very cute. I also noticed her outfit, which was also very cute. We finally arrived at the balcony. It was nice and breezy outside, and to my surprise there was a table with two chairs and sweets placed on the table." O Break how nice this is…well since you needed to talk to me I want to tell you something first." Luna spoke in a soft tone. She took a deep breath and spoke. "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about the way I've been treating you lately and was wondering if we can start all over." She didn't face me; she was looking down and looked red in the face. I figured it was because she was just really nervous. "O well that's very nice of you. I didn't treat you very kindly either so I apologize as well, but that is not what I wanted to talk to you about. Let us take a seat shall we."
We went toward the table. She and I took a seat. I took some cake and I looked straight at her. She really did look beautiful. Then a hard breeze blew her hair and then for that moment I showed my affection for her. I reached out for her flawless face and pulled her into an intense passionate kiss. Then I quickly recoiled. I looked at her to see her reaction. She seemed stunned that this happened so quickly. "I'm sorry I was very out of place I –"That's all I got out before she put her finger on my lips. "We can talk later ok? It seems like you need to think." She came close to me and gave me a quick kiss then whispered "O and by the way I like you…a lot." She turned on her heels and then left me to think. I took my fork and popped some of the delightful cake in my mouth. "O boy I really am I in trouble with her." I laughed to myself and took another bite of my glorious sweets.
*Luna's PoV*
I was in bliss. Break kissed me! I skipped down the hall and saw Oz again. I felt slightly awkward being around him after what happened this morning. "So how did the "talk" go?" He seemed slightly peeved. "It went good…" I tried to hide it, but I failed I couldn't help but smile when I thought of our little talk. "I see… he must have hurt your feelings real bad after all I was supposed to tell you first." Oz's expression turned into an evil grin as if he knew something that I didn't want to know. "…What do you mean?" "O nothing really he just told me to tell you that he doesn't care about you or your pathetic feelings." I felt as if I'd be slapped in the face and kicked in the gut. "Wh-what he would never say that! You're lying!" I yelled holding my hands close to my heart because it seems that at any moment it would break apart. "O but he did say it. Those were his exact words too. He said them to me in the music room the other day." I fell to the floor for my knees felt like they were kicked right under me. I tear was running down my face; I didn't even notice it. "You're lying…you're lying…he would never say that." I slowly looked up at Oz. He's expression was full of sorrow and pity. He was telling the truth. "Luna…I'm sorry I didn't want to tell you this, but Break just wanted you out of his life he said you were so annoying and ugly inside and out. I don't think that though. I think you're beautiful. I overheard you and Sharon talking the other day and I know me saying this to you must be hard." I started to cry even more now. Then I felt arms around me. I looked up and Oz gave me a quick kiss. "I'll always be here for you…" I didn't know what to do; I was so confused about things. "Oz… I'm so confused." He pulled me into his chest and I cried; I cried until I blacked out.
I woke hours later in Oz's room. I was placed in his bed and Oz was sitting in a chair besides it. "You took it a lot harder than I thought you've been out cold for about 3 hours." Oz said with a warm smile. My head ached and my heart ached as well. Oz gave me a quick kiss on the head and said "Well now that your up would you like something to eat?" I shook my head no. Then I spoke. "Oz please don't take this the wrong way, but please don't kiss me I need some time to think and you doing that make everything so much more confusing." Oz looked at me a bit hurt, then he reply "Ok anything for you" He picked up my hand and kissed it lightly. "That is the last one." This made me blush. "Uh… I got to get some fresh air." I left and quickly ran outside to the backyard.
*Gil's PoV*
I saw Miss Luna running to what seemed to be the backyard. "What a sweet girl" I said aloud. I know about Oz's feelings for her and I can see why, she was or what appeared to be a sweet and over all nice girl. "I must tell young master about the ball that is taking place tomorrow night." I walked until I reached the young Master's room. "May I come in? I have something most important to tell you." I asked. Oz's quickly replied "O yes! Come in Gil please." I opened the door and he looked in high spirits. "Well I am here to deliver a message to you it seems you have been invited to a ball tomorrow night, Miss Sharon, Xerxes Break and I have also been invited. You are allowed to bring some people; may I suggest Miss Alice and Miss Luna?" "That's a splendid idea! You said Break was also invited correct…" he asked. "Indeed I did is there something wrong with that?" Oz quickly turned so I didn't see his expression. "Oh no, nothing is wrong…please make sure Miss Luna stays away from Break. You see Break isn't very fond of her. I have no idea why though." He said. It seemed as if he was choosing his words careful as if he did not want me to know something, but I did not question it. "Well I shall be on my way now. Oh! I mustn't forget the ball starts 8:45; a carriage will pick you up around 7:15." "O ok I shall remember thank you Gil." "You're welcome young Master." I closed the door behind me and proceed to my room.
