Daniel walked slowly getting towards the school gate ,,,,
” Hey ,,,thanks for today ,,,,you were really great “” Cindy said sharply following him around

” Skyle ,,wait up “” that was Kira
Getting to him ,skyle stop
” You weren’t in class today?? Are you okay ?? Kira asked feeling worried
” Yeah ,,,am fine thanks ,,,see you later “” skyle replied leaving
***************
” It really is so beautiful,,,,,,,,it must be so special to him “” Luna said sadly
“” She stood outside the school gate ,,,,, looking at the necklace
” Should I give this back ?? Luna asked herself
Just then ,,, Daniel walked towards her
” Hey” Luna called tucking the necklace back into her pocket
” Hey”” Daniel replied back looking at her
As much as he wanted to ignore her ,he couldn’t,,,
He really felt like walking away ,,,,,but stopped
” Aren’t you going home “” Daniel said without looking at her
” I’ll just take a cab home ” Luna replied
Daniel took one step and again he stopped,,,
” Follow me ,,,I’ll give you a ride home ” Daniel said ,he turned back to look at Luna
She stood still shocked
” What ?? Luna said looking at him in suprise
Just then ,,skyle came out also
He walked towards Luna
” Skyle ,,,”” Luna called which made him stop immediately
” Are you okay ?? Luna asked
She really wanted so badly to give him back his necklace
And most importantly,,,,to know if he’s okay
Skyle turned back looking at both Luna and Daniel
He walked towards Luna ,,,,,,then he held her hands
” If you wait here longer ,,,you might not get a taxi ,,,,it’s getting late “” skyle said looking at her
Trying to utter a word ,,,skyle spoke again
” I’ll give you a ride home “” he said while Daniel looked in shock
Luna looked at Daniel whose fist were so tight
Just then ,, feeling angry , Daniel walked away
Luna looked at Daniel as he walked away
” Can’t he for once be on my side ,,,,he’s always so hard heartened”” she said almost feeling like she could cry
” Jerk “” Luna shouted on top of her voice walking away even without skyle
” Wait up Luna “” skyle called but instead she ran away from him
Luna ran so fast ,,,,, holding her breath,,,
Suddenly she stopped,,,,only to catch her breath back
She kept on hitting her chest so hard ,,,her tears wouldn’t stop ,,not one bit
She was actually ready to go with him
******************
” Luna !!! Luna !!! Skyle shouted as he walked ,,,he couldn’t find her
But still he didn’t stop searching,,,,he kept on running towards different directions looking for her
He stopped looking around,,,, trying to catch his breath
” Where the hell are you ?? Skyle asked himself rubbing his hair roughly
He stumped his feet so hard hitting a can ***
Luna sat down looking at the sky,,,,,,
She had really forgotten about her work
” Beep !! Beep !! Her phone kept on ringing
She looked at the caller
” Nicole “” she said as she carried her phone rejecting the call
Sitting for so many hours,,, different thoughts ran through her mind ,,,,,,but still she couldn’t help the tears
While skyle kept on searching so badly ,,,, he wasn’t ready to give up
*******************
Another bottle plsss”” Daniel said waving at the waitress
She came towards him
” What the hell is wrong with him “” Nicole asked herself as she looked at Daniel who wouldn’t stop drinking
She walked away ,,,,,
“” Luna pick up plsss,,where the hell are you?? Nicole asked herself feeling worried
****One moreee*** Daniel shouted again,,,,
” What the ***** “” Nicole couldn’t finish her statement when Daniel eyes became watery
” I think I might really like her so much,,,,I jus don’t know , I really don’t know ” Daniel kept on saying
” What is he even talking about”” Nicole asked herself
She dropped the bottle of alcohol on his table
” But seriously,,,he’s way too cute to do all this “” Nicole said to herself looking at Daniel
She was about Turing away ,when he held her hand
” I lost them both ,,,,it crashed me ,,,,it made me nuts “”
” And now am scared ,,,,,I found someone I can call mother,,,but am scared she’ll be taken away from me soon ,,,,,I don’t think I wanna loose anyone again,,,,I’ll die ,,,”” Daniel said as he tightened his grip on Nicole unaware of what he was doing
” Hey what are you doing,,,,” Nicole asked looking at him
” Am in pain ,,,,so much pain ,,,and now grandpa is the only family I got “”
Nicole looked at him ,,,,her heart beat increasing the more
Just then she remembered something
” He’s just like me ,,,,,,only that I got no one ,,,,am all alone “” Nicole said to herself
Her dad was in jail ,,,,he had been in jail for more than 8 years now
*** Those painful memories came back to her
She remembered how her dad was being dragged by the police
He was a truck driver,,,,,he had been accused of ki||ing a family years ago””
Her mom died after a year as she kept on crying constantly
Growing up in an orphanage,,,,she soon met with Luna and they became friends
Her dad had promised her and mom that they would leave the country
She felt so happy ,, telling all her friends
” Dad when will you be coming home “” Nicole asked her dad hugging him
She was only nine years old
” Wait for me sweetie,,,Daddy has only one last job to do ,,,after that ,,,dad will become rich ,,daddy will be able to take care of you and mommy ,,,,, we’ll all leave the country together and start up a better life again”” her dad said
“” Yeeeeaaa ,, thanks Daddy ,,,you’re the best ,,,I love you “” Nicole said hugging her dad so tight
Without sleeping,she waited desperately for her dad ,,,,,only for him to be confirmed a ki||er that day
“” Daddy !!!!!! Daddy !!! Daddy !!! ” Little Nicole kept on screaming so loud while her mom held her crying
” My angel ,,, daddy is so sorry ,,,am so sorry “” he kept on shouting till the van drove off
END OF FLASHBACK****
a tear fell from her eyes ,,,,,, Nicole looked at skyle
He was asleep already,,,,,,,,she sat down beside him looking at him
She touched his hair slowly,,,,,,,then smiled
” How have life been so unfair to you “” Nicole asked
She smiled again ,,, though the tears wouldn’t stop pouring
********************
Luna sat still ,,,,,,,
Just then skyle came towards her ,,,,,,,
” Are you okay ?? He asked standing beside her
She raised her head only to see him
” Why are you always everywhere?? Luna asked cleaning her tears
Skyle sat down beside her smiling
” I guess now you’re the cry baby right ?? Skyle asked
She smiled bringing out his handkerchief
” Here I actually forgot to give it back “” Luna said
” Don’t you think you still need it ?? Your face is a mess “” skyle said
” Thanks”” Luna smiled
” You okay ?? Luna asked as they both walked together without any destination
” Maybe I guess so “” skyle replied
” Care to talk about it ,,,,I’ll listen “” Luna said without looking at him ,,,
” Thanks,,,,, maybe some other time “” skyle replied
After walking a while ,,,,,Luna boarded a taxi heading towards home
Standing still skyle watched as the taxi disappeared out of sight
” How can I really stop liking you ,,,,,,am trying to avoid you,,,but it’s only getting me entangled with you more “” skyle whispered to himself leaving towards home
