The Human Luna novel Chapter 9

Placing the tray to my side, I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned back, letting out a long, heavy sigh. I seemed to have been doing that a lot today. But it wasn't my fault if you asked me. This school seemed to put me on edge and I couldn't help but notice the small voice in the back of my mind that kept telling me that something was up in this school. Something was, not necessarily wrong, but rather something was being hidden. Although I felt like there was a mystery behind this school and the students and faculty that occupied it, I couldn't help but feel that the truth was right under my nose.

I shook my head and shut my eyes tightly. This place was starting to get to me and my thoughts were starting to be wilder than before. I really needed to get a grip before I completely lost it. But what I didn't know was that this was simply the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life. No pun intended.

The week went by rather quickly, and before I knew it, it was already Friday morning; and I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy that the weekend had finally arrived. I mean, it's not like it was a bad week or anything, it's just that no one even bothered to get acquainted with me. Not even when it came to discussing an assignment for class. Was I really that much of a bad person to approach?

But I always pushed that thought aside whenever I was left sitting on my own in my now usual spot in the library or in my classes. I really did want to make this year a memorable one, but everyone didn't seem to want to give me the chance to make it happen. So instead, I was left to myself in my hollow shell that I grew comfortable with over the years.

As I made my way to homeroom, I couldn't help but notice how many of the students were chatting with each other consistently about some party that was probably happening this weekend. I guess that's something I wasn't attending.

I finally entered the classroom after practically being bombarded by high school teenagers who seemed to be a little too animated for the early morning. I wasn't at all a morning person but I always tried my best not to show it; and seeing all of them with grinning faces as they talked more about this party didn't help my situation whatsoever.
