Matters Of The Heart

Luna Lombardi

Ever been called fake? Ever been called a spoil little shit?

Well i have, growing up my parents always gave me everything, till it got out of their hands and well I took things for granted.

My friends are fake, even i know that, but I didn't like being alone so I was always with them.

I needed a wake up call.

"Princess, you're gonna be late." Dad yelled.

"I'm here." I said walking to the kitchen and grabbing some coffee.

"No breakfast?" Mom asked

"Don't have time, I woke late. Later parents." I waved before leaving.

"This behaviour of her need to stop, she used to make time for us." dad said to mom.

"She'll come around."

"Hi people." They look down to see my little sister, Avery. She is four.

They adopted her when she was a year.

"I'm hungry." They both chuckled.

▪▪▪▪

Finally arrived at school, couldn't wait for senior year to be over, sadly it's the first day.

Just then someone bumped into me.

"Watch where you're going." I said as I continued my way, didn't bother looking at them.

Yep, this is exactly why people hate me. I didn't care,I just wanted this damn year to be over.

"Hey, girl." I was greeted by my 'friends'.

Meet Dana and Lucy.

"Hey, gorgeous." Zeke said wrapping his arms around me.

And this is my boyfriend. Do i love him? The answer would be no.

I like the attention, plus I know he cheats on me, what else is new. I know it's toxic but eh, it is what it is.

"You two need to get married." Dana said.

"Yeah no thank you, it's not me, it's you." I said turning around and pecked his lips, then I left to class.

"She's such a bitch." Dana said.

"True, but she has money and popular, let's deal with her." Lucy said to them.

"I want to be the first one to pop her cherry, after that I will dump her." He said to them and they both laughed.

After class it was lunch time, I sat with my "friends" on our table.

"They're all losers." Dana said laughing.

"Yeah." I said nonchalant.

"We should all hit that new place after school." Zeke said.

"What new place?"

"It's a new bakery." Lucy replied.

"Okay."

"Just try not to eat much." He said touching my belly.

"Yeah, don't ever say that again." I slapped him and made my way out.

I need new friends, but everyone pretty much hates me, so I'm stuck with those fake ones.

As I made my way to my locker I bumped into someone making me fall.

"Don't you watch where you're going?" I asked.

"Afraid to get a little dirt on your clothes, princess." He said in an annoying tone.

I got up and glared at him.

"You need some manners." I said to him.

"Funny coming from the queen bitch of the school." He said.

"I'm not a bitch, but you are an ass." I said before storming out.

▪▪▪▪

I arrived home and collapsed on the couch.

"Ughhhhh."

"Bad day?" Mom asked.

"Let's see." I said as I filled her in.

"Why do you keep hanging with them, they're fake friends." Mom said to me.

"Because everyone in the school hates me, I'm queen bitch. I don't even know how I got that name."

"Have you been rude to the people in school?"

"Sometimes, but only cause they get on my nerves."

"I suggest you change that attitude, cause senior year just started, and it's a long way." She said before leaving.

"My attitude is okay, why change it." I said to myself.

I went to change in comfy clothes, I decided to call my nana, she understands me.

"Hey, nana."

"Hey, Lunita."

I told her what happened.

"I went through the same. People though I was a bitch cause i was popular, I was involved with the wrong friends at the beginning, then I met my two best friends, if you meet someone like them, then you're lucky."

"Nana, everyone hates me." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Ask yourself why is that, maybe a change is all you need."

"Change is hard." I said sobbing.

"Yeah, but sometimes we need to make some changes in our lives."

"I'll try, I love you."

"I love you more, my Lunita."

We said bye and hung up.

I sighed, changes are hard, but I'll try my best.

"Hey, sissy."

"Hey, Avery." I said as she climbed my bed and hugged me.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because, crying is good sometimes."

"But I don't like when you cry." She said wiping my tears.

"I love you, munchkin." I hugged her.

"I love you too."

We talked a little and eventually we both fell asleep.

"You heard that phone call right?" Dad said to mom.

"Yep, our Luna is not happy and that's thanks to her attitude." Mom sighed.

"She's smart, she will make that change." Dad said hugging mom.

My parents worried about me, mainly cause I fake being happy, I got good at it, but nothing gets passed parents.

They just let me be and hope i come around, back to the old Luna at fifteen.

Truth is i do need a change, but that's easier said than done.
