The Dreamer And The Diffuser (Being Submitted to Agents)

Chapter V

The final exams results for Geometry are being passed around and Luna can’t help but feel worried. She closes her eyes and says a little prayer.

“Sweet!” she exclaims.

“Why?” Marcus excitingly asks. Luna then hands him her paper while she smiles from utmost joy.

“I knew you could do it!”

“All thanks to you”

“Hey don’t worry about it”

“I’m just so happy babes! I went from being a C+ to an A-“ while eating a sandwich with Priya in the school cafeteria. From a table across them is Marcus reading a book with his usual lonesome self.

“You should definitely thank him! Maybe you can bake something for him! I’ll help you out”

“Yes we could do that”

Luna stands up and walks slowly onto Marcus’ table.

“Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Marcus drops his book and smiles at Luna.

“Go ahead”

“I just want to thank you again for helping me out. I want to bake something nice for you and I’d like to know what flavor of cake is your favorite”

He leans closer to her.

“Well actually, there’s something you could do to return the favor”

“What is it?” Luna looks intrigued.

“I’d like to take you to the prom if you allow me to”

Luna’s world seems to have stopped.

“Are you serious? Don’t you want to go out with Jessica Vega? She’s very smart and beautiful”

“So this is your way of rejecting me…” he says with a look of disappointment.

“No silly! I just didn’t expect that you’d want me to go with you to the prom.  All the girls in school want to have you as their date”

 “All the girls eh?” he smirks.

“Oh you’re so full of yourself. So what flavor do you like?”

“Red Velvet, but wait is that a yes?”

“Yes ok yes are we done?”

He gives an OK hand signal to Luna while he smiles from ear to ear.

“I guess I’ll pick you up at 6ish?”

“Make it 6:30ish”

She walks back to their table with an ecstatic on her face.

“Babes what? Come on tell me!”

“I’ll tell you later when we’re looking for prom dresses” with her face barely returning to its normal state because of utter happiness and excitement.

In a store called Dress4Less

“Marcus is taking me out to the prom” Luna mumbles while holding a white empire cut dress.

“Wait what?! Gosh babes!”

“I knew it! I knew that guy likes you! I can see it in his eyes whenever he looks at you!”

“Let’s not jump the gun. Maybe he’s just comfortable with me and that’s the reason why he’s taking me out to the prom. By the way you didn’t tell me who’s taking you yet. Spill!”
