Luna and Vance walked to school
As they walked in, everyone stared at Vance's poor state.

It was new for them.
Normally if he got beat up he would just skip school.

The kick team snickered, excluding Bruce.
"Little puppy got beat didn't he?" Mark teased, faking a dog whimper.

"Shut the fuck up."Vance said
"What did you just say?" Mark said, standing up

"You have ears don't you?"

Mark took Vance's poor state as an advantage to try kneeing him in the stomach.

Vance swung his fist across his face as he tried running up to him.

"Vance don't get in another fight." Luna said

Lain charged towards Vance at full speed, Vance held him up against a locker and punched him in the stomach.

"Vance!" I turned him around.
"You promised me no more fights! Not until your wounds heal!" Luna shouted.

"We don't need dad beating you to be worse than you are!" Luna shouted before clasping her hand on her mouth. She said too much.

Everyone gasped or looked at each other in confusion.
The rest of the jock team were shocked or just felt bad.

Vance grabbed onto Lunas  hand and walked her to class.

He let go of her hand when she made it to class.
"I'm sorry." She said before walking in.

"It's okay." He said. She walked into class and sat down.

-

It was pouring.
Vance was gonna be late cause he got a detention.

Luna was walking to the school gate before Bruce met her there.

"Hi." He smiled
"What."

"I'm sorry about uhm. Your dad.." he said, holding the umbrella.

"I don't need your pity."

"Can I atleast walk you home? It's pouring and it seems you forgot your umbrella.." he smiled.

Luna scoffed and walked away. Bruce followed her and walked next to her, hovering the umbrella over her head.

"I have a uhm, a baseball game tomorrow. Is it okay if you come?" He said

"Yeah whatever." She said
"Uh it's at the field.. across the grab n go.." he muttered.

"Noted." She said

The rest of the walk was in silence. She made it home.

"Uh. I'll see you later!" He smiled.
Luna slammed the door.
She walked to her room, picking out a book to read.
She sat on her bed, laying the book on her lap and reading.

She fell asleep a few chapters in.
She woke up to Vance tapping her shoulder.

"Hmm?" She blinked heavily.
"Can we go to the grab n go?" He whispered. She chuckled lightly and nodded.

He took a few quarters he saved up and shoved the it in his pocket, they walked to the grab n go.

As they walked,
Luna saw Bruce and his team practice for the game in the field across the grab n go.

She actually contemplated going.
She shrugged, walking in behind her brother.

It was the same routine.
She kneels down against the wall, reading a book as her brother swears over a ball in a glass cage.

"Shit." Vance muttered under his breath, pressing a bunch of buttons as the numbers go higher.
After half an hour,
Bruce and his stupid baseball team came in, chattering with self confidence.

Luna peeked over her book before looking back down
Muting their voices in concentration to her book.

She ran her eye through each word, narrating in her head.

Bruce looked around. Not for food, but because he saw her walk in here.
She was in the corner of the wall, a few feet next to the pinball machine.

Behind her book, she saw Bruce walk up to her and kneel in front of her.

She put her book down.
"Yes?"

"Whats this book about?" He peeked.
"Just some murder case I guess." She shrugged.

"Planning on coming to my game tomorrow?" He grinned.
"Sure?" She curled a brow.

He smiled.
"That was a yes or no question, Lu."
"Lu?" Luna chuckled.

"Yes. For Luna." He laughed.
"Well, I guess yes." Luna said, making Bruce smile wide.

"I'll see you there." He said, standing up and walking to his team— who teased him.

"Bruces game? Really?" Vance scoffed, still focused on his game.

"Did you really listen in?" Luna chuckled lightly. He shrugged.

"Focus on your dumb game." Luna rolled her eyes.

"It is not dumb. Do you want me to show you how to play?" He said.

"No." She said, continuing to read her book.

6:30 PM

"Let's go home." Vance tapped Luna.
She opened her heavy eyelids, fluttering her eyes as he grabbed her hand.

She leaned onto his shoulder as they walked.
She was half asleep.

"Do I really play for that long? To the point you fall asleep?" He chuckled under his breath, she nodded and smiled.

"Well I'm sorry." He said.

They went home.
"Take a nap." He said, walking to her room.

She laid down and tossed onto her side, falling asleep

He sat on the floor, next to her
After an hour the telephone rang.

Vance curled a brow, grabbing the phone.

"Who is this?" He asked.
"Huh?" Bruce said confused.

"Who the fuck are you? Why are you calling my sister!" He said.
"I'm Bruce!" Bruce said.

"Oh." Vance said.
"Well Luna is sleeping. Tough luck." He said before hanging up.

Vance looked around Lunas room.
He found her shelf of books. He never thought this moment would come, but he grabbed a random book.

After like.. five minutes.. he closed it and put it back.

Luna woke up. He looked to her.

"Morning. It's like 11PM, good luck falling asleep." He chuckled, walking to his room.

She looked around. She was still tired. So she fell asleep again.

-

She woke up.
She wasn't so tired but her body felt heavy.

She tossed herself to different rooms to change and get ready for Bruce's game.
