A couple of weeks had passed since the Moreno's went to the Driftwood Auditorium to see Luna and her friends perform their music. It was also on that same night that Andy had developed feelings for Luna. After a long while of keeping his feelings to himself the young couldn't contain it any more. He had to confide in someone about his feelings. Trouble is who would he talk to? His mother would always lend an ear to him but would she be able to help him? He could tell Sam, Ruth and George about it but would they keep it to themselves without accidentally letting it slip? Andy was conflicted with who he should talk to.

"Andy!"

Andy looked up to his mother surprised. He was currently doing his homework at the dining room table. "Yeah mom?"

Ana looked at her son with some worry. "Are you ok, mijo? You had such an intense look on your face."

"Yes I'm..." Andy paused. He then sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I don't know."

Ana pulled a chair out and sat at the table. She felt like this was going to take a while.

"I...have something that's been on my mind." the boy claimed.

"What's on your mind Andy?" the older woman asked. She was starting to feel concerned for what was going on.

Andy opened his mouth but nothing came out. Even if he did decided to confess to his mother it wasn't easy to say. He was still uncertain. Eventually he mustered up the courage that he needed.

"I like Luna. Not just as a friend but a bit more…." Andy trailed off, nervous about the reaction he would get.

Ana wasn't surprised at the confession but she wasn't expecting it either. "Oh...oh sweetie is that what's bothering you?"

Andy just nodded while averting his gaze away from his mother's eyes.

"Andy that's nothing to feel bad about. I-" the mother paused to collect her thoughts. "I had a bit of a feeling you had a thing for her."

"You did?" the boy asked in disbelief.

"Well they way you acted when we went to visit her after the music performance wasn't exactly normal." Ana stated with a tiny smile.

"Ugh..." Andy groaned, having remembered that moment.

"Believe it or not, monkey, but your father was like that too. He got so flustered when it came to talking to me it was cute." the older woman reminisced. "And to see you do the same…it reminded me of him."

There was a pause between the two. Andy was moving his eyes around, looking at one object for a moment and then moving on to the next. Ana was still thinking about her late husband. Eventually Andy broke the silence.

"What should I do?"

Ana closed her eyes and exhaled. "You could tell her. But if you do tell her and she doesn't feel the same way at least take it with some maturity and continue being friends with Luna."

"Okay." Andy replied, returning to his homework.

However that suggestion brought up another concern within the young man. Would Luna still want to be friends with Andy when he confesses to her? Andy didn't believe she would do something like that but it could happen. Confessing his feelings would cost him a great friendship but he didn't want to keep it to himself in case he would never gets chance to tell her. Despite finally revealing his feelings to his mother, Andy was still stuck in square one.

The next day Andy was in Algebra, his fourth period class. He was still thinking about his feelings and what to do with them. So far his mother was supportive of the young man but he didn't know what his next action would be. After some thought Andy decided to go to someone else for a second opinion and he knew who to go to. He stealthily pulled his phone out and sent a message to the person he was relying on. After a few seconds he felt the phone vibrate and saw that his second confidant agreed to met him during lunch for a private discussion. A few more minutes passed until it was time to head to lunch. Andy headed to the library which was the meeting point. He didn't have to wait long for his associate.

"Hey Andy."

Andy looked up and smiled. "Hi Ruth. Sorry for calling you here so suddenly."

"It's fine you don't have to worry about it." the red head replied sitting next to the young man. "So is everything alright?"

Andy was quiet for a moment then opened his mouth. "I know this is sudden but I have something to say. I…have feelings for Luna."

"I knew that." Ruth said without missing a beat.

Andy had a stunned look on his face. "Y-y-you knew? How?"

"Well the obvious clue was when you visited us at the backstage of Driftwood." Ruth explained.

I should've suspected that. Andy mused in disappointment.

"That aside you have been looking at Luna in a certain way. Like your face brightens up when you see her." the red head explained.

"That makes sense." Andy spoke. "I tried to keep it to myself but guess I wasn't that good at it."

Ruth shook her head. "It's not that. I was merely guessing and didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong. But that aside I wanted to ask what are you going to do?"

The young man didn't say anything for a few seconds. He then sighed heavily. "I don't know. I want to tell her how I feel but what if she doesn't want to be friends after I tell her? I want to believe she wouldn't do that but who knows for sure."

"Luna wouldn't do that." Ruth replied. "She cares about you too. If anything she would still be friends with you."

"I guess but I…don't know if I should tell her yet."

Ruth put her hand on Andy's shoulder. "Only you can decided that Andy. Whatever happens you still have me and Sam and Georgie. But there is one thing I will tell you. Don't keep it to yourself for too long because you may miss your only chance."

"I'll figure it out, Ruth. Thank you for all of this." Andy said.

Ruth smiled "I'm sure you will and if you need someone to talk to I'll lend an ear when I can."

Andy returned the smile and Ruth gave the former a hug. The young man felt a bit better about having Ruth to also rely on. He still had his doubts and fears however. There was much to lose if he confessed but if he missed his chance he'll have to live with it in guilt. For now Andy decided to think about what his next move will be.

Study hall had arrived and Andy was feeling blissful because next to him was Luna, who was studying quietly on her homework. Andy had finished his homework during class so he had some time on his hand. The young man was reading a book to pass the time. He had read a couple of pages when Luna turned to him.

"Andy you finished this biology assignment right?" the purple rocker asked.

"Yeah I got it done." Andy responded. "You need some help?"

Luna chuckled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head. "If you don't mind."

Anything for you, Luna. Andy thought and smiled as he proceeded to help the girl with her homework.

"So I've been at this question for a few minutes." Luna explained. "It's really head scratcher."

Andy looked at the question. "Oh this one. Its kinda hard but I can help."

As Andy helped the Loud with her homework, it felt like his heart was trying to escape his chest. It didn't help that the rocker had sat closer to Andy when he offered his help.

"Thanks Andy. You're a life saver." Luna said after she solved the question.

Andy blushed a bit. "Well I'm not as smart as Lisa but I hope I helped out well enough."

Luna grinned. "Don't matter if you got Lis brains you're plenty of help."

The rocker's praise made Andy's cheeks flush. It felt like everything she said managed to make the young man feel great. Eventually he came back to reality and noticed Luna wore a worried look.

"Is everything ok?" Andy asked.

"I was gonna ask you that. Lately it seems like you've been looking red an awful lot, dude. Are you feeling well?" Luna inquired.

"O-oh…I'm okay. It's just that…." Andy paused trying to find an excuse. "its been hot lately!"

"Its January though." Luna replied slightly confused.

Once more Andy was thought of an excuse. "W-w-well it's been...stuffy! Yeah its been stuffy!"

Luna was about to ask more questions but shrugged and gave up. Andy exhaled in relief and went back to feeling blissful about his current situation. He just needed to keep his blushing in check to avoid having to make more excuses.

This is perfect. Just me and Luna. Nothing can ruin this~

"Hey Lunes."

Andy's ears perked up. The two teens looked up and saw that a boy had approached their table and started to talk to Luna.

"What's up, dude?" the purple rocker asked.

"Nothing much. Just looking forward to the dodge-ball match at gym tomorrow." the rando teen said.

Andy could tell that this boy was making small talk. Normally this wouldn't bother him but it seemed like this guy was just talking to Luna. Was he trying to flirt with the rocker? If so Andy certainly didn't take it well.

"I mean I'm usually good at dodge-ball. Ever since elementary." the small-talker spoke.

"Well I can't brag but my little sis is good at sports so this dodge-ball thing will be a breeze." Luna replied.

The small-talker nodded. "How about we team up an-"

The rando fell quiet and happened look over to where Andy was sitting. The Moreno boy exhibit an intense aura around himself. Andy then locked eyes with the small-talker which made the latter feel shivers down his spine. Andy's cold yet fierce gaze had petrified his classmate. The chatter wanted to ask Andy why he seemed so hostile but the words wouldn't come out. The rando eventually lost any desire to continue with the small talk and told the two to have a good day and walked back to his table.

"That was…weird." Luna said tilting her head.

Andy went back to a happier mood and made smiled. "Don't worry about it Lunes. Lets get back to helping you with biology." the boy offered to which Luna accepted.

School ended and the halls were flooded with students either leaving the school or going to clubs. Andy had accompanied Luna until the rocker and her sisters exited outside of the school. The young man felt a bit disappointed that he didn't get to spend more time with Luna but he at least had tomorrow to do so. A few minutes later Ana finally arrived to pick her son up.

"Hey hijo. How was school?" the mother asked as the boy buckled his seat-belt in.

"It was ok I guess." the youth answered as they drove home.

Ana made disappointed look over the response she received. "Nothing eventful happened?"

Andy sighed. "No mom. It was a regular school day."

The older Moreno woman gave up on the conversation and just continued driving. Andy was looking out the window but began to think back on the day. The conversation with Ruth and the rando appearing sprung up in his mind. As much as he wanted to keep his feelings to himself the world wasn't going to be so cooperative. Andy had to confess eventually.

"Actually," Andy spoke. "some things did happen at school."

Ana's curiosity peaked. "Was it something bad?"

"Oh no, nothing bad. Well…at least I don't think so." the boy replied.

"What do you mean?" the older woman inquired once more.

"I don't want to insult you mom but I talked to Ruth about my feelings. I had some worries that Luna wouldn't want to be friends if I told her my feelings."

Ana nodded. "I'm not mad. It's understandable that you'd need a second opinion. But I think Luna wouldn't just stop being friendly to you. She's a good kid."

"I know, I know. I shouldn't have been so doubtful about her." Andy responded as the Moreno's entered their driveway.

The two waited until they went inside their house to continue talking. Since Andy was done with his homework sat on the living room couch with his mother.

"Anyways something else happened." Andy started speaking. However he was a bit hesitant to talk about it due to his attitude during the time.

"What was it?" Ana asked.

The black haired boy sighed. "In study hall while I was helping Luna with her Biology work, some guy came up to our table to talk about a dodge-ball gaming happening tomorrow. He was only talking to Luna about it and that made me a bit…jealous..." Andy trailed off in embarrassment.

Ana frowned. "They were just talking about dodge-ball, baby. You shouldn't be so envious over that."

"He was bragging about how good he was at dodge-ball. It was like he was flirting with her!" Andy replied.

The older woman said nothing before bursting into laughter, which surprised her son. "Honey I doubt Luna would be impressed over a guy being good at dodge-ball. You just overreacted."

Andy was about to counter but found it hard to do so. His mother was right, he overreacted. However he wasn't going to tell her about how he stared the small-talker down. "You're right, Mom. It was silly." Andy finished, giggling a little.

Ana finished chucking. "Just don't do that to every guy who talks to her."

"I won't. But I have been doing some thinking." Andy paused. He wasn't sure this was a good idea but it was something. "I think I'll tell Luna how I feel soon. I don't want to miss my chance nor do I want to keep it to myself any longer."

Ana smiled. "Do what you feel is right, Andy. Just promise me that no matter the outcome you'll still be you."

"I will mom." Andy replied with a smile. He then went in for a hug with his mother.

After breaking the hug, the youth went back to his room and began to play his guitar. He had a goal in mind. All that was needed was to find the right time to confess. This was special moment in Andy's life and no matter what problems arrive, Andy was determined to achieve his goal.
