After dinner Luna and Melody walked back to their dorm room. Luna took notice of the school guitar she was was borrowing and pulled it out of its case. She looked over at Melody.
"Don't worry about noise I'm going to hang with some kids I met in my Studio Art class. Were going to practice drawing my drawing each other." She explained she left. "Don't worry I won't be out to late."
Luna gave a nod and set her stuff up. She started to practice but found she lacked the motivation. Her mind was focused on one thing only, Sam. She missed her so much. Poking out of her supplies bag was some sheet music, blank sheet music. She carefully picked it up and looked at them. It had been a long time since she had written a song, it was defiantly before she moved into campus. She placed her sheet music on her bed before pulling out a pencil. Something was pulling her to write. Immediate she knew what to put down. We used to be so close but now it seems we're so far apart. Now I'm forced to wonder where did it all start? But she did know where it started it started in a library.
Almost four years ago a fourteen year old Luna walked along the fiction section of her local library. At the time she was currently getting over a crush on an upperclassman named Tess. The worse part of it all was realizing that Tess was straight. It just so happened that she was at the library with her boyfriend and Luna needed to clear her mind for a moment. As fate would have it she accidentally grabbed the same book as a blond haired, green eyed girl, named Sam. She went to a different school called Winston Prep. Luna met other students from that school and assumed this would most likely be their only encounter. Boy was she wrong.
When sophomore year came around Luna found herself with English last period. After a long boring first day Luna took her favorite seat one in the middle. She started to get set up when a girl she didn't recognize walked in. She had blond hair with a bright, light blue streak. Luna didn't pay much attention to her and wasn't bother by the unfamiliarity. It was impossible for her to know everyone in her school or even in her class.
"Hi everyone ready for a new school year." The teacher greeted after the bell rang. "Well I figured the perfect way to start of was with assigning seats."
Luna heard a bunch of groans come from the rest of the class. She was indifferent to assigned seat but wasn't a fan of moving her just unpacked stuff. Quickly she gathered all of her stuff and moved to the back of her room. She recognized a few of her classmates, such as Justin, he and girlfriend were trying to find a new guitar player for their band. Luckily for Luna she didn't need to wait to long to get her seat she was assigned to the third out of five seats in the first row. As the teacher read off the other named Luna begged for someone she knew next to her.
"Okay for the seond row we have James Jackson, Justin Marckle, Samantha Sharp."
"Samantha Sharp?" Luna thought to herself after the name was read. The name was a knew one. If if she didn't know the person personally at least the name would ring a bell. Looking around the class she noticed the girl from ealier walked over and take the seat next to Luna. Something was off this girl, Samantha seemed uneasy.
"Hey I'm Justin nice to meet ya." Justin greeted turning around as the rest of the seats were given out. Luna chose to ignore them. Taking a tiny peak she noticed a guitar sticker on Samantha's binder.
"Looks like they found their guitar player." Luna thought to herself and didn't think of the girl for the rest of class.
"Um excuse have we met before?" Luna turned around and saw Samantha looking at her.
Luna took a good look at her. Their was something familiar about her but she couldn't think of how. Luna titled her head a little. "I think so were you here freshman year?"
"No I went to Winston Prep." That's where it hit her. This was the girl she met at the library.
"I like you hair like that better." Luna said taking notice of the new blue streak.
"Thank, it took a lot of convincing for my mom to let me dye it. I actually wanted all of my hair blue but she didn't want it. So we settles on a streak."
"The streak suits ya, bra." Luna found herself leaning on the wall. "It makes you look more rocker chick."
Samantha looked to the see the seat in front of her was empty. "Do you know anything about Justin?"
"He's a nice dude. He's written some pretty good songs."
"Well it's he asked me to be the guitar player in a band he's in with Danni and I wasn't sure if I should do that." Sam looked down and took out her notebook. "I'm not sure if I should show him this."
Samantha hand Luna the note book opened to a certain page. On it seemed to be a poem. As Luna read the poem over she realized that it was actually lyric to a song. They appeared to be about frustrations to someone and judging by her recent statements it was her mom. A series of lyrics stuck her. It makes wonder all the tings I have to hide. Including the romantic feelings I have inside!
"Well that's deep." Luna said looking at the last lyrics.
"Eh my mom can be stubborn." Samantha shook her head a little. "She also refuses to call me Sam. Everyone else calls me Sam but her and a few teachers."
"The line about romantic feelings really struck a cord. I spent some time trying to figure out who I am. That included if I was into girls or not." Luna sighed at the memories.
"I date a girl a bit last year." Sam admitted leaning her arm on the desk. "My parents were chill with it luckily."
At the moment Luna could feel her heart starting to race in her chest.
A few weeks later Luna found herself sitting at the same table as Sam, Justin, and Danni. She thought it odd since she was the only member in the band. The three had their instruments.
"You know Luna you should join us for a jam session some day." Justin said grabbing his carton of milk. "Sam here says you're a killer on guitar."
"She did." Luna turned and Sam give a cute smile at her.
"I know she's only been here about two months but I think we found a new song writer." Sam blushed at Danni's compliment and looked at her notebook. "See she's writing one write now."
"Oh I don't think we could preform this one" Sam closed her notebook and held it close to her. "It's different than our normal style. It's a love ballad."
Justin shrugged a little. "Well a writer needs to be well rounded."
"Well showed this song she was working on about when she was struggling with her identity and it inspired me to write this one." Sam blushed a little and looked towards the ground.
Luna continued eating her lunch she felt her heart pounding for some reason. It felt so familiar, the last time she felt her heart doing this was last year. The last time was when she was in her computer class year. And it was at that moment she knew. She knew she was falling in love.
"A secret admirer letter?" Justin said in amazement after Sam told her what she had found in her locker the previous afternoon. Luna walked in as he said this and hod her wide smile. She was overjoyed that her crush smiled once reading the letter. Now she was telling her friends giving Luna much more hope for a relationship.
"I'm serious." Luna looked over and saw Sam was holding the letter in her hands. Her face had a twinge of blush on it. Her hands held the letter gently as if Sam was holding the greatest treasure in the world.
"Any idea who it is?" Justin leaned in closer and Sam crossed her arms gently over the note.
"I don't have any idea." After she said that Luna swore Sam glanced in her direction. "But I have someone who I hope it is."
A few weeks later Luna was packing up her stuff as English class was ending. She noticed that Sam had placed the love letter given to her in her binder. Aside from that the binder was empty in the covers but Sam had decorated them with stickers.
"Excuse me Luna." Sam said with a smile getting her attention.
"Is something wrong Sam?" Luna said being concerned that the smile was a fake one.
"No I was just wonder." Luna noticed Sam was blushing a little. "I was hoping that you would be able to be my partner in the Scavenger Hunt next weekend."
"I'd love too." Luna said blushing before looking a away.
Sam laughed before she started to walk out. "I'm glad you can. I can't wait."
When the day of the scavenger hunt arrived Luna and Sam eagerly stood at the front. Everyone was all set when they headed off. Luna and Sam were quick to get a head start. They found about five items when an argument happened. It would have been alright if it didn't happened again and again and again. It got to the point that they ended up lost in the woods.
"How did end up like this?" Luna said leaning on a tree.
"Well you said you weren't into video games and proceeded to think I was joking when I said that I did. To top it all off you said I wasn't the type." Sam glared at her from the other side.
"For the last time it came out wrong. I can't remember you ever mentioning that you did." Luna defended herself.
"Well you didn't tell me that you liked Dessert Storm." Sam added with her face unchanged.
"Seriously how do not like it?" Luna turned away before sighing. "Where did this go wrong? I wanted to get to know you better. I didn't want to fight the entire time."
The two remained quiet for a while. This was a hard thing to say, neither knew the prefect words. After some time Sam spoke up. "In a way we did. Not in the way we wanted to but at least we know that there are things we disagree on."
"I've been spending too much time with my older sisters." Luna joked holding in a laugh. "I keep thinking my life will be like those cheesy high school romantic comedies."
"Yeah they are pretty silly." Sam laughed a bit. "You want to go my place. and watch School of Rock"
"You bet bra." Luna said as Sam led the way. And as they walked they both felt a spark.
And it seems in the moment in the woods alone. We both knew it was our love that shown. Luna wrote before shaking her head. As those memories replayed themselves for over the two hundredth time, the words flowed on the paper. She had hoped that writing a song would put her in a better mood. So far it hadn't worked. This song seemed more like a love ballad instead a rock song. Well with some tweaking it could be a rock song but Luna didn't think of it.
Luna felt a buzz and looked over and saw a text from Sam. Hey Luna what are you doing?
Just free writing a song out of boredom. Luna felt too embarrassed to admit it was about Sam.
Better than me I'm forced to sit through this presentation of Student Life.
Then why are you texting me? This sounds important babe :P.
Well I wanted to see how your first classes went and that I missed you. P.S. This was supposed to be an hour long and its already gone 15 minutes over.
As yes the bores of Fall Orientation. Luna's mind flashed to all the assemblies and meetings she had in only a single weekend.
Oh hush and so what if my mind needed a break.
Luna opened her Gallery to an album she called Thing to Cheer Sam. She went to her go to which was a bunch of puppies. She immediately sent it and waited.
Why do you always go for the puppies? Luna could tell she was teasing but decided to answer honestly.
Because I remember when we watched Yuko and You with Simon and his girlfriend. You balled your eyes out at the ending so I stored a bunch of puppy pictures for ya
OMG you're sweet babe! We just got out of the assembly. I'll call you as soon as I get to my dorm. I want to hear all about classes.
Luna gave a smile. At this moment she knew it was completely worth it all.
