AN: Second chapter is up. Thanks for all the comments. Also I'm really bad at writing song lyrics so here is my best try.
Chapter 2:
Luna's POV
The annual spring talent show is the largest concert in Royal Woods. People with all different talents come to perform and the whole town shows up. And once again I am going to write an original song. I mean what else would I do.
I judge down the steps to the kitchen and grab myself a cup of coffee trying to wake myself up. Everyone else in the house looks like zombies. I forgot how annoying it is to wake up for school. After my coffee Luan and I make our way upstairs to get ready.
"Are you performing a song at the talent show this Friday?" Luan asked.
"Are you serious? Or are you waiting for me to answer to make some kind of joke?"
"It's too early to make jokes, just answer the question."
"Of course I'm singing, I just don't know what song yet."
"What about that song you were playing yesterday?"
"You heard that?! You weren't here, I didn't think anyone heard it."
"I was only downstairs working on my act. And you play loud enough that everyone in the house can here you." I smile brightly. "Besides it was really good. You should definitely play that one."
"It's not done. There are no lyrics and I've only written the music for the chorus."
"So just continue it. You could write about a special someone…" Luan wiggled her eyebrows.
I averted my eyes trying to hide the huge blush covering my cheeks. "I don't know if that's a good idea. What if Sam is there and know it's about her. Then everyone will know."
"Ok fine" Luan huffed looking a little disappointed. She started looking around the room for other ideas. The room was a mess and she could hear the shouting and yelling coming from all the other rooms of the house. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. "You could write the song about us." I gave her a puzzled look trying to see where she was going with this. "Ya know, write about life living with this crazy family and then you can add in other things to."
"That's actually a great idea." I look over at the clock and rush to finish getting ready. "But I will work on it after school. We need to leave like now if we are going to catch the bus."
This math class can't go any slower. Ideas have been rushing through my brain for lyrics and melodies and I just can't write them down fast enough. I should probably be listening to my teacher explain how to factor because we have a quiz coming up but all I can think about is getting to talk to a certain blonde after school. I look up at the clock and see it is 3:30. Only five more minutes then I can go talk to Sam. The seconds were ticking away so slowly but finally the bell rang. I was out of the classroom before anyone else even processed the bell had rung. I ran to my locker to grab my stuff. I calmed myself down so I wouldn't look to crazy and started to walk over the where Sam's locker is. I round the corner and see her standing at her locker. I am about to walk up to here when this guy who I don't recognize walks up to her.
He is taller than me, had dark brown hair like mine, and looks to be a junior (a year older than Sam and I). Who is that guy? How does he know Sam? Why is he talking to her? Why is he smiling so much? There was a tight feeling in my stomach. Before even meeting this guy, I knew I already didn't like him, especially when he was hanging around Sam. Is this jealousy? I don't know. I wish Sam would turn around so I could see her face during this whole interaction. Maybe he was just an annoying guy that she didn't like to be around? Yeah it' s probably that. Wait, what if she thinks he wrote the note? Crap, that can't happen. I could go up and talk to her. No that's too obvious. All just stand here behind these lockers and try and listen in. That's not creepy at all. Or at least that's what I am trying to convince myself of.
Sam's POV
Okay, I'll just grab my stuff and go and try and find Luna. Maybe I can catch her before she goes home. She probably is playing at the talent show and needs to practice but a girl can hope, right? I am about to leave when I hear a deep voice call my name.
"Hey Sam" I turned around to see that it was Logan who called my name. He has a good foot on me and has a really good body shape. He definitely works out.
"Oh hey Logan. I was just headed out." I am trying to keep this conversation short because I really want to try and catch Luna before she leaves.
"Ah come on don't leave so soon. I haven't seen you in a while how are you doing?" Clearly he did not need to go anywhere.
"I'm good." I fake a smile. "I've just been really busy and need to get this homework done," I lie.
"I'm happy you are good. So, are you performing at the talent show this Friday?"
That question caught my interest. He and I had never been great friends. I met him at a rock concert two years back and we talked and exchanged numbers. I thought he was cute but that never went anywhere. We occasionally talk and stuff but he has never tried to hold a conversation with me at school. "Um…no I am not. I plan on going and just watching and listening to some of the acts." Mostly just watching and listening to Luna perform, but I did not say that part out loud. "Why do you ask?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." We stood in silence for a minute. "Hey maybe you would want to go with me. We could hang out and talk and just have fun."
"As friends…?" I asked timidly.
"Well, actually more as a date." He seemed to be getting nervous. I have never seen him nervous before. And then the realization dawned on me, what if he wrote me the note? What if it wasn't from Luna? Oh crap I totally made up that situation in my head. I did exactly what Ava told me not to, I got my hopes up. I don't even want to go to that talent show anymore. I way too embarrassed. My heart started to race and my mind started to wander.
Logan cleared his throat and it brought me back to reality. I looked at him in silence seeing if he wanted to say something. He looked at me the same way, but I had nothing to say. "So do you want to go with me."
Quickly realizing what was still going on I tried to come up with an excuse not to go with him. "Oh I just remember I can't go anymore sorry." I shrug my shoulders and give him a sorry smile.
I expected his face to fall to a frown but instead it formed into a grimace and a death stare. "Can't or won't?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is it me? Are you making up excuses to not go with me?" His voice was slowly getting louder and I was trying to calm him down before he made a seen.
"No that is not what I am doing I just don't feel like going." I couldn't stop myself from saying those words. Realizing they did match up from what I said early, Logan huffed out in anger and stepped closer to me.
"You are going to go with me." It was not a request. I turned to leave trying to get away from this situation but then he grabbed my wrist rather hard.
"Ow that hurts!" I don't care how loud I was being. I just wanted to get away from him. "Just let me go!"
He reluctantly let me go but he didn't back away. Instead he managed to step closer getting right up in my face. "You are going with me." He said again, this time slightly calmer.
"No I'm not! Just leave me alone." I was starting to get pissed.
You could see the anger in his eyes bubble up. He took in a deep breath and raised his hand to slap me, "Why you little-"
"She said leave her alone!"
Luna's POV
"Ow that hurts!" I heard Sam yell out. I had been watching this whole interaction and it was making me blood boil. Watching this guy grab her and try and force her to do something was just too much for me. I was about to get in when he released her arm. It looked like Sam had controlled the situation and I wouldn't need to step in. I couldn't quite hear what he said next but I heard Sam yell out. "No I'm not! Just leave me alone." Everyone around her probably thought she sounded brave but I could hear the slight hitch in her voice. She was so scared right now.
When I saw him raise up his arm that was it. I left my hiding spot and practically ran over to her and that ass. Without thinking I put my hands are his chest and pushed him back as hard as I could. "She said leave her alone!" I spoke with strength in my voice that I had no idea I even had.
He just stared at me, confusion and anger swirling around in his eyes. He straightened up and stood very tall. This was the first time I noticed how tall her really was, probably eight or nine inches. I had to look up at him but I didn't care. My eyes never wavered, never showed any sign of hear.
"What did you say, girl?" His voice was deep. He tried to sound scary but I never faltered.
Without missing a beat and with new found calmness in my voice, I answered, "I said leave her alone."
