Until The Blue Moon Rises Again

Chapter 1: Astronomy Class

[Luna 1st person POV]

"... George Washington was the Commander and chief of the Continental Army..." our history teacher was saying to his class.

I sighed sleepily, not absorbing anything Mr. Dane wasn't saying. I looked at the clock - 12:08pm. I silently groaned.  School ended at 3pm.

Since there was nothing better to do, I started to daydream about my fat, grey cat, Mr. Fluffles, turning into a lion and eating George Washington. I giggled quietly at the thought.

BRIIIIINNNNGGG!!! rang the school bell.

Yes! I thought, On to astronomy class!

I put my history book in my navy blue backpack and slung it over my shoulder. I ran to the Eastern most tower in Oxford Middle School. (A/N: Don't question that. Please just roll with it. :) Please.)

I was so excited. I loved Astronomy Class and Mythology, which was after Astronomy. I loved to sit outside and gaze at the stars, that's why most kids called me the teacher's pet.

"Hello, Luna," our brown haired astronomy teacher, Mrs. Gothil, greeted me as I came in. "Take your seat, please. We will begin momentarily."

I walked in and took my seat behind Alexandria Finkel, a black haired girl of about 5'1". Her green eyes followed me until I sat down with my astronomy book.

"Hey, Luna," said an ugly voice from behind me. I turned around. It was Peter Volcne, the fattest kid in school, and the biggest bully.

I forced down my growing disgust for the greasy black-haired kid.n "Hey, Peter..." I sighed.

Peter smirked. "Are you going to be Ms. Know-It-All today, too?"

Okay. That made me mad. Nothing makes me mad except when anyone calls me teacher's pet or a know it all.

I shrugged it off, not wanting to get too angry.

Peter sneered at me. "What? Cat got your tongue?"  I didn't answer him, just glaring maliciously at him with my blue eyes. I wanted to murder him so bad right now.

"Ha ha ha," I retaliated, unable to hold my anger in anymore. You see, I'm very quick tempered. "You think your soooo smart. Well guess what? You couldn't memorize the North Star in a map, even if you tried."

At this, Peter's face turned as red as a tomato."Why-! I could too if I tried! You under estimate my abilities." he stated rather proudly.

I snorted. "Yeah right. The only thing I don't under estimate is your ability to be stupid." I said calmly.

Peter was really mad now. He raised his hand, ready to hit me. I knew it was coming, but I stood the confidently. He was about to smack me in the face, but suddenly, a hand gripped his wrist.

I looked up to behold my rescuer, and I saw Dowa. His milk chocolate eyes glowered intensely calm as he looked at Peter. His shaggy brown hair was in his eyes as he looked down at the smaller boy.

By now, the whole class was watching us.

"What are you doing, Peter." he asked quietly. i think it was more of a statement that she question. Dowa stared into Peter's beady hazel eyes. Peter tried to wrench his wrist out of Dowa's grip, but he wouldn't loosen up.  "Boys don't hit ladies."

Suddenly, Dowa dojo flipped Peter on his desk.

The class gasped. I suddenly remembered Mrs. Gothil - where was she? Oh well.

Peter groaned. "Wow..." he mumbled, sitting up and rubbing his  back, "I didn't know you could do that... ouch..."

Dowa was as calm as ever. I couldn't understand it. Why was he so calm? Why did he intervene? Argh! It was driving me crazy as I stood there watching the exchange, mouth open in surprise and confusion.

"Don't underestimate me, please," Dowa said with nonchalance. "I don't like that. And please don't underestimate Luna." He glanced at me. "I'm sure she wouldn't like that either."

BRIIIINNNNGGG! rang the bell. Dowa gave me a court nod and headed back to his seat.
Err... wait a second.
Did a boy just stand up for me?! Did the hottest boy in school just defend me?! I was internally freaking out by asking myself these questions, but on the outside, I conveyed confidence and nonchalance.

Mrs. Gothil walked in, oblivious to what had happened moments ago. "I'm sorry, class," she said sweetly, "I was talking to the principal about your homework assignments."

She walked up to her deals and move some papers around. "Today's lesson is on the constellation Lupus. He is my favorite one. It has very may stars in it, but you are going to learn where four of its main stars are: Alpha Lupus, Beta Lupus Gamma Lupus, and Zete Lupus. Lupus, the wolf god of the cosmos,..."

I stopped listening to Mrs. Gothil, and I started to wonder what the god of the cosmos would look like if he weren't made of stars.

Before I knew it, it was 2:15pm.

"I have an anouncement, before you leave class," Mrs. Gothil said. "After tonight, for 5 consecutive nights, there will be an epidemic that only happens each 60 years. It's called the Blue Moon Eclipse. As you can probably tell, the moon will turn blue. Nobody knows why the moon turns blue; scientists have been researching it for years. Earlier, as you may know, I was talking to Principal Corin. I asked him if you could have the next 5 days off school-"

We cheered.

"-only if you write a report on what you saw."

Que the groans!

"Well! Off to class, go on! Don't be late!"

And with that, I was off mythology class, and after that, home.
