Its seven when my alarm goes off. The chime of it echo’s in my ears, I quickly shut it off, still only half awake I fall back to sleep until the next alarm goes off ten minutes later. I think it’s safe to say that I am not a morning person. I proceed to go back to sleep, but my plans are foiled when my mom bursts into my room to make sure I’m up. “Luna you got to get up and get ready you can’t be late on the first day of school, and don’t forget to pick up Rosa today,” “okay” I reply. I get up slowly and get ready for school. Before I know it, I’m out the door to get Rosa and go to school.

Rosa is my best friend, we’ve known each other our whole lives. 

   When I arrive at Rosa’s she comes out right away, she’s wearing almost all black the only color she is wearing are her black and white shoes. When she gets in the car, I greet her, and we head to school. We get to school a little early, but it gives us enough time to find are first class. Luckily, me and Rosa have most of our classes together except two. There was only four people in the classroom when we got there but more would soon come in. I’m talking to Rosa waiting for class to start when I’m struck with a weird feeling. It feels like my whole body is going numb, my heart starts racing, and I feel like I’m about to collapse.

   “Did you feel that Rosa?” “feel what?” She asks with a puzzled face.

  Maybe I’m sick, I then quickly press my hand against my forehead. Nope no fever, “Alright let’s do attendance” I hear the teacher, and I stop feeling my head like a weirdo and sit up straight waiting for my name to be called. “hey Luna, you okay you seem like your acting funny” “oh yeah I’m fine Rosa,” I say with a smile. The teacher calls out the names for attendance “Elena Aaker,” “here,” “Adrian Adams,” “here,” then he calls my name “moonlight Alezado,” “here,” I reply. I look down at my notebook and start to draw in it as the teacher continues. 

  “Lorenzo Ramirez” “here, but it’s just Enzo” my head rushes up to look at the person talking, and my heart starts racing again.

  He’s got long dark black hair pulled back into a ponytail both of his ears are pierced at his bottom lobe but there are also some at the top. He’s wearing a loss black under-armor jacket, with the zipper open, you can barely see the tight white shirt he’s wearing underneath and just from looking at him you can tell he’s got a well-built body. He also has a sharp jawline and nice dark skin that go with his big dark eyes that makes me feel as though I can’t look away from them. As I’m looking at Enzo he suddenly turns and looks at me I quickly look away hoping that he didn’t notice me looking at him. My hearts still racing, and I can feel my face turning red. After I calm myself down a little bit I look up at the teacher, and ONLY the teacher fearing that if I look towards Enzo, I won’t be able to look away.

   I can feel his gaze on me, why won’t he stop looking at me it’s driving me crazy. I focus on the teacher trying to block the feeling of Enzo’s stare. The teacher announces that we are going to be doing a get to know you activity I’m eager to hear his words. I try focusing on what I’m going to say for the activity instead of Enzo. As the teacher makes his way around the room its then Enzo’s turn, “my names Enzo something I like to do is” he pauses for a second then answers, “go running and I’m a senior,” the entire time he was talking I didn’t look at him, just the sound of his voice makes me fell weak in the knees and sends a shiver down my spine. I’m relieved when it’s over. It takes a while before the teacher makes it to the back row, and it soon becomes my turn. After I’ve finished the teacher continues with the rest of the class until the bell rings for us to leave, I stay back in the classroom for a second hoping Enzo would leave before me, but he didn’t. Instead he looks at me one last time, and I look at him.

   Wow he is really tall probably more than six foot, but before I get lost in his stature, I leave for are next class, and Rosa soon follows after me. The day went by fast and the whole time all I could think about was him. After school Rosa and I head to my house to hangout. As We’re sitting in my room theirs this strange feeling that comes over me to go look out my window, I look out the window and lift curtain slightly open. I’m surprised when I see Enzo and a little boy stopped right in front of my house. Enzo is about to look up at my window when I quickly shut the curtain and look away hoping he didn’t see me. A second later I look back out the window to see if they are still there. I see them walking away from my house and towards the other homes across the street. “What are you looking at” Rosa asks “oh nothing just thought I heard something” I say with a smile.

  The next morning I decide to get to school early I don’t know why I just had this feeling that I needed to be there early, I didn’t have to pick up Rosa today because she had an appointment so she wouldn’t be there for first period, before I leave for school I say good bye to my family then head off. When I enter the class only the teacher is there, “good morning” Mr. king says happily “good morning” “I got go make a copy of a few things but I’ll be right back okay” “okay” I reply.

    As I wait, I doodle in my notebook until I am rudely interrupted by the same strange feeling as yesterday, and I know exactly what’s the cause of it, it’s him. I don’t look up at him and continue to draw in my notebook. It’s just the two of us in the room and it’s driving me crazy, my head starts to hurt, and my body begins to ache. What’s happening to me, I lay my head down on the desk trying to make my head stop hurting I begin to involuntarily make sounds of pain, “are you okay” Enzo’s voice calls out. His voice makes me feel dizzy, adding to the pain in my head. I start making a low growling sound and realize what’s happening. I then stand up out of my seat grab my things and rush out of the classroom heading for the school. When I get in my car, I am overwhelmed with relief my headaches stopped and my body doesn’t hurt anymore. Considering with what just happened I can’t go back to class, so I head home.

   When I get home my mom is in the yard pulling weeds “moonlight what are you doing home, school starts in five minutes” she said in a confused voice. “I don’t know what happened I got this huge headache, my body started to ache, and I kept feeling dizzy” my mom looks at me, concern painted on her face “do you think it could be because of what tomorrow is” I ask. My mom pauses to think for a second, “that could be part of it,” she replies, “but was there anything else?” “Like what” “like have you been feeling sick the past couple of days, you could just have a cold but because of tomorrow it’s worse.” “Ummm well I mean I ha-have been acting a bit weird lately” I say in a high voice sounding nervous. “How so” mom says in a interested tone, “Well when I see this guy or when I’m even in the same room as him my heart starts racing, I begin to go numb, and every time he speaks it’s feels like a force pulling me to him.” My mom looks at me in amazement. “You can stay home for today,” she pauses, “but after school you have to find that boy and bring him here” my mouth drops open. “Qu-que, mama you can’t be serious I don’t even know him,” “do you know his name?” “Y-yes” “then you know him” “I don’t think that’s how it works,” my mom gives me a stern look. “THAT’S how it works because that’s how I said it works, now no more talking back, you are going to get that boy and bring him here you understand” “sí mama” “good”.

   I went back to school just before the bell rang, people come flooding out of the school building, I watch looking for Enzo, until I finally spot him.

“Hello, my name is Moonlight Alezado, I was wondering if we could talk?”
