Chapter 31

Unusual Couple

The crisp air blew through the trees. A perfect Autumn Day. The burnt orange and brown leaves whisked away with the wind. A chill spread up the little girl's back. She clutched her coat closer. How she hated the chilly weather. Her mother was already in front of her, she was clutching her five year old son within a puffy winter coat. The wind whistled as the little girl continued her pace. "Hurry up Luna! Your Father is waiting!" called her mother. Luna held onto her brightly pink scarf that was around her petite neck. The girl picked up her pace. Her mother stopped outside a brightly lit café. The words 'Francine's Restaurant' hung on the wall in a sickening green lettering. Quite a suitable colour in the Autumn month.

The bell clang as the door opened. A few people hissed as the cold air entered inside. "Where have you been?" asked a very tall man with sandy hair. Luna's mother turned towards her. "She couldn't find her teddy." her mother replied. Her father gave Luna a look as if to say trouble maker. The family sat down at a table and ordered a light meal; chicken burgers with a side order of French fries each. Not really a light meal if you ask me..

As the parents chatted away to each other, Luna gazed past them towards the ice-counter. So many families enjoying themselves, laughing, chatting, smiling. Her cousins were busy chatting about some KND stuff which she would never understand until she got to their age. She was only seven years old, but she could act older if she wanted to. Her cousin Kimi looked up from her milkshake. She stared into Luna's eyes as if to say I feel sorry for you. Luna turned away towards the window. She wasn't allowed to stare at her cousins let alone talk to them. Her mother gazed over to the group. "Look at those rift-rafts." said Luna's father. Luna flinched. Those were her family. "I know, honey I think my meal is coming back up." smirked her mother evilly. Luna pinched her coat tightly to her body. She knew what was coming next. Her father pulled out a small glue gun. He aimed it towards the group. As he was about to pull the trigger, a hand covered the gun. "I don't think so, Sandy." said a manly voice. Sandy jumped and stared up towards the old man that was puffing on his cigar. "Mr Boss." squeaked Sandy. Sandy's wife shifted in her seat awkwardly. She never enjoyed Mr Boss's company. "My grand kids are down there too." he said grumpily. He took out his cigar and sprinkled it's ends onto the clean floor. A voice boomed. "Dad! I just cleaned that!" shouted a female voice. "Francine!" Mr Boss smiled cheerfully. He gave Sandy one last look before he walked over to his daughter. Luna enjoyed the feeling of her parents' plans failing. It has been a long time since it happened. Owen, her young brother picked up a spoon and launched it towards her head. Luna ducked and it flew into an old lady's bowl of soup. The old lady screeched as the soup went everywhere. Both Luna and her brother giggled, as the old lady was cleaning soup off her new fur coat. "I think it's time for us to leave, don't you agree Mushi." said Sandy. His wife, Mushi nodded her head quickly. Sandy grabbed Luna's hand and pulled her towards the door. A young red head boy caught her eye. His glasses slid down his face as he belted out laughs. His mother did not find it funny one bit. His grandmother was covered in soup, and so was the old lady.

Luna gasped. Her whole body was shaking with sweat. What the hell was that… She scratched her multi pierced ear (three piercings, because she is a 'hip' teen). Was that a dream or a memory?.. She yawned as the sun poked through her curtains. Her brother was already up, he was excited because of his new quad bike. He had received it from his birthday, which was over two days ago. Luna pulled on a pair of shorts. Her belly button ring was becoming quite annoying now. The mascara from the night before had ran all over her pillow. She creaked opened her door and made her way to the kitchen. She was looking forward to it.

"Don't touch that!" Mushi; her mother shouted. Luna continued to touch the pancake, the last one in the packet. "Bog off." Luna said while munching on it. Mushi glared at her. "You bitch." her mother said. Luna scrunched up her shoulders. She couldn't give a damn about her, like she does for her. She took the newspaper out of the trashcan and began to read the first article that appeared. Her mother scrunched up her nose, and exited the kitchen. She hated her daughter with a passion, she was no longer a child. Luna almost spat out her chewed up pancake. Menacing Black Child was in town. She had to get tickets to see them. It is like a must. She stared down at the ticket price. She couldn't afford that even with her weekend job at the Cinema. She scrunched the newspaper up into a ball and threw it into the trashcan. No point in sulking over it.

The Autumn air was fresh, and crisp. Luna could feel the wind underneath her coat. She loved the Autumn season, it was always brought a smile to her face. The air entered her lungs as she breathed slowly. It felt so relaxing. The wind picked up and her grey woolly hat flew down the sidewalk. She grumpily followed after it, as her dyed hot pink hair waved in the air. "This is so unfair." Luna stated as she chased after it. She followed the escapee until it flew into a person's face. "Sorry." Luna shouted. Dumb hat, she thought. The owner of the face pulled it off and handed her back. He looked quite.. Handsome for someone who got hit in the face with a hat. "It's okay." he replied. His red hair was ruffled by the wind. Luna stared. This boy was none other than Alan. Her long-time crush, and her best friend. "Alan." laughed Luna awkwardly. He smiled sweetly. She blushed slightly, as she pulled her hat over her head. "How are you?" she asked quickly. He grinned. "Fine. Just off to see Menacing Black Child." he replied. Luna choked on her air. Did he just say… "Oh my God… Really?" she said with shock. He nodded even more. "Yeah, but my sister bailed on me. I have a free ticket." he said with a hint of sadness in his voice. He was playing the violins deep alright. "Do you want to come." he said with a grin. She stood staring at him with a questionable look. What was his game… "And if I say yes what would I have to do?" she asked. He stopped grinning. "You must eat Kangaroo balls." Alan replied with a serious tone. She crossed her arms over her chest. "No really." she said. He shook his shoulders. "Nothing just a… little date." he smiled. She choked yet again. "A date?" Luna whispered. He nodded. Luna stared into the distance. Was this a dream.. She pinched herself to make sure. "Fine." the teen finally said. Alan punched the air with his fist. He had been waiting for an excuse to ask out his best friend, and what better way to blackmail her with tickets to her favourite band..

"I can't believe you had tickets!" shouted Luna. She was wearing a band t-shirt, which was signed by Javy Michaels the lead singer. Her face was bright red with excitement. "I know, wasn't that lucky." grinned Alan. He had to thank his sister for that. "Thanks." smiled Luna. The wind blew an old oak tree. It squeaked as it lost leaves to the wind. The sun had already went down, yet the sky did not look dark because of the bright stars and moon. "So about that date." smiled Alan. His piercing shone in the moonlight. The silver ring was dazzling. Luna blinked twice. This was happening. This was real and this was her life. Her life with this boy.. Well maybe, it all depended on this moment and what came next. She licked her lips, she couldn't understand her feelings it was all confusing. Was her best friend the one she really loved?…. He cleared his throat. Did she even like him in that way?… So many questions raced through the teens heads. "Stuff it." said Luna. Alan jumped, as Luna pulled him closer. Their lips touched with the softest touch. Butterflies erupted from their stomachs. As the kissing turned into a make-out session, a door banged opened. "LUNA!" shouted Sandy. Luna jumped. "Dad." she said angrily. A few neighbours told them to shut up as the pair argued in the house. Alan awkwardly walked away towards his house.

"Isn't that cute." said Kimi. "No." replied Ben. An 'Ow' was heard as the boy got punched by his little sister. How embarrassing…. "They are so perfect for each other." Madison said while she hugged tighter into Ben. Sophie nodded, she was busy tucking into a hot fudge cheesecake. It was straight from the oven, the steam was basically rolling off it. Their stares were at a certain couple in the corner. They were both sharing an milkshake with fries. The fries were dipped into the milkshake. "Yeah, but they are unusual aren't they." stated Trevor, as he turned away from his shared milkshake with Louise. He stared at the fries. How could someone like that. "Yeah they are, but they are a perfect unusual couple." grinned Madison. "Chicks and their mushy talk." Ben grumbled into his cheese burger. David, Trevor, Charlie and Chris stared at their fellow bro. He was in trouble. The girls turned towards Ben. Ben felt their glares on his back, maybe he shouldn't have said that. His arms began to ache from the punches he received. Maybe he should go to the gym more as well.

Hey yalllll! I bet you all thought I was dead or something… Anyway how did you like this beauty of a chapter? I did this within 2 hours, which is quite impressive. So please give me feedback. And also sorry if some parts don't make sense, I'll fix them in the morning/afternoon when I'm less tired. Some things have changed in my life, so Fanfic is going to be put on hold for example I'm not a highschooler anymore, I'm a college gal! And also I have a boyfriend which has been keeping me busy. Also I have been drawing more so deviant art is benefiting from this than you are fanfic. So yeah I need to dash, night all.
