at restaurant
Someone give her envelope
Emma
Emma
What’s this, Mom?
Emma
Emma's mother
It’s your money. You’re old enough now. I’ve already taken care of everything. I’ve arranged a place for you to live, close to your school.
Emma
Emma
Huh? *confused*
Emma
Emma
Mom, I’m 16 yrs old! *Raises her voice*
Emma
Emma's mother
You’re old enough to live on your own.
Emma
Emma
*sarcastically laugh* Are you seriously just kicking me out because you have your new family now?
Emma
Emma's mother
Watch your words *cold*
Emma
Emma
*Voice shaking* Why? What did I do wrong?? I’m your daughter! Why can’t I stay with you? Why not take me with you and your new family-
Emma
Emma's mother
-Because you were never supposed to be here!
Emma
Emma
*Eyes widening* what?
Emma
Emma's mother
You were a mistake
Emma
Emma's mother
You were never meant to exist. You’ve always ALWAYS been nothing but a BURDEN
Emma's heart stops, she tries to speak but can’t find the words
Emma
Emma
Mom...*tremble voice*
Emma
Emma
But..I’m your daughter...
Emma
Emma's mother
And you’re nothing to me now. *stand up* I don’t owe you anything. *walk off*
Emma
Emma
*freeze*..
Emma
Emma
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Snapping fingers in front of her face* Emma!
Emma
Emma
! *startled*
The class is watching her, some of them giggling.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*stands in front of her*
Luna looking at her with a mix of concern and irritation
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
You’ve been zoned out for a while now. Can you at least pay attention? We have an exam soon.
The class whispers, some snickering at Emma’s reaction.
Emma
Emma
*lost in my thoughts*
Emma
Emma
... Sorry *mumbling*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Sighs If you’re sorry, then open your book to page 45. Read the second paragraph
Emma’s gaze drops to the book in front of her, but the words blur in her vision. She forces herself to flip to the correct page, still shaken by the conversation with her mother
Emma
Emma
.. I wasn’t paying attention...
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Looks at her coldly*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Page 45. Second paragraph.

RINGGGGG
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
class dismissed
All: Thank you teacher!!
As the students pack up and chat amongst themselves
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*gaze lingers on Emma*
Emma
Emma
*Lost in thought, eyes unfocused*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*expression softens, but there’s still a concern in my eyes*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Emma!
Emma
Emma
Huh?
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Nods for her to come over* Come here for a sec
Student 1: *Whispering* Wonder what’s going on? She looks like she’s about to call Emma out.
Student 2: *Snickering*Maybe she’s finally going to give her a punishment for spacing out the whole time
Student 3: *Joking* If it were me, I’d be in trouble for sure.
Emma
Emma
..*walk towards her*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Are you okay? You’ve been pretty out of it the whole class.
Emma
Emma
I'm fine
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Are you sure? You don’t look fine.
Emma
Emma
I said I’m fine.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
.... *watches her for a moment*
Expression hardening slightly as she doesn’t buy it.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*steps closer, tone soft but persistent*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Have you taken your medication yet?
Emma
Emma
*Suddenly avoiding eye contact, fiddling with her bag*
Emma
Emma
Yeah, I did.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*notice*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
No, you didn’t. I can tell by the way you're acting. You always look away when you’re lying
Emma
Emma
Don’t act like you know everything about me. *annoyed*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*ignore her attitude* Go take your meds. It's recess time, you have a chance to go relax for a bit.
Emma
Emma
Tsk. Stop bossing me around. I can take care of myself *murmuring and walk off*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Hey remember-
Student 1: Are you done talking to Emma?
Student 2: Let me carry that for you
Emma
Emma
*walk away*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Hm..*worried*
.
.
Emma sits at the edge of the pond.
Emma
Emma
*Staring at the bandage on my side*
Emma
Emma
*Face is tight with frustration*
Emma
Emma
I can’t even look her in the eyes.. and it’s seriously starting to annoy me.
She huffs, her frustration visible as she looks down at the bandage
Emma
Emma
Last night..that was the worst.
Last night
at the kitchen
Emma
Emma
Don’t you dare get any closer! *point the knife*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Emma, calm down...Please, put the knife down. *tone calm*
Emma
Emma
I don’t know what you’re up to! You’re just touching me out of nowhere!
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Haha, did I startle you? Sorry, okay? *half-hearted smile.*
Emma
Emma
I swear, I’ll kill you if you keep acting like that
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
You think you can scare me? You’ll be in a world of trouble if you try that,😄
Emma
Emma
Stop smiling like that! You’re scaring me even more.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Jeez, calm down. *Takes a step closer*
Emma
Emma
Don’t come any closer!
Luna doesn’t flinch. She simply leans against the wall, crossing her arms, her eyes cool and collected
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
I wasn’t trying to scare you..I just needed to check on that bruise. I’m serious, Emma, you need to take care of yourself
Emma
Emma
I didn’t ask for your help..
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
I know you didn’t ask, but your mind was somewhere else when you were washing the dishes. That’s why I had to tap your shoulder..I didn’t think you’d react like this, though
Emma
Emma
...
Emma
Emma
*lower the knife*
Emma
Emma
*put the knife on the table and walk away*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*watch her from afar*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Wtf
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
She didn’t even apologize. Just walks away like nothing happened
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Sigh
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
That’s why I don’t like dealing with kids *scratch my head*
Morning
Emma wakes up, stretching and yawning
Emma
Emma
*yawwnnnn*
Emma
Emma
Hm?
Emma
Emma
(Something feels off..)
Lifts up her shirt, spotting the bandage on her stomach
Emma
Emma
!!
Emma
Emma
How did the bandage get on my body?!
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*from the door* I put it on
Emma
Emma
GAHHH!!!😱🙀🙀
Emma
Emma
Where the faq did you come from?!!
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
(My my..language)
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
I applied it for you. Your bruise was bad. Now, hurry up, you're gonna be late for school
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Oh, and because your bruise is looking... *pauses and thinking*…quite colorful, take your antibiotics.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
It’s in your bag pocket. Don’t forget to take it after meals. You’d better not skip it. See ya. *Starts to leave*
Emma looks confused, still trying to wrap her head around the situation
Emma
Emma
Wait, hold up... She saw me half-naked? *face-flushed*
Luna hearing Emma’s muttering, looks back with an amused expression
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
It’s not like you’re wearing a “secret” body. You have nothing to hide, Emma *chuckles*
Emma
Emma
*Eyes Widen, completely flustered*
Emma
Emma
Wha—?! *Blushing hard*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Smirking playfully* Relax. I’ve seen worse. 😉 *walk away*
Emma
Emma
*Flustered* ///////////
Emma
Emma
//// *EMBARASSING*
Back to reality
Emma
Emma
This is crazy. I need to avoid her for a while. I can’t look at her without... *face turns red* …thinking about that
Emma
Emma
Stupid of me to think she could just do whatever she wants..even with my body! *face reddens*

Night
Luna checks the clock and frowns
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
She's late
Luna pulls out her phone and dials Emma’s number
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Come on, pick up..
[THE NUMBER YOU DIALED IS NOT AVAILABLE,PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AND TRY AGAIN]
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Great. Of course she’s not answering
.
Meanwhile
in hotel
Emma
Emma
Haa, I feel so refreshed...*wipe my hair*
Emma
Emma
*check the phone*
Emma
Emma
A missed call?
20 misses called
Emma
Emma
oh *Unimpressed*
She casually scrolls through the missed calls and then swipes to turn the phone on airplane mode
Emma
Emma
🤷🏻‍♀️Who cares *Lays down on the bed*
Emma
Emma
I just need some sleep... then I’ll head home tomorrow
Emma
Emma
(This is nice..no one to bother me. Peaceful nap mode, activated.) *close eyes*
She shuts her eyes, letting out a content sigh
Emma
Emma
Zzz
Next morning
Emma cautiously opens the door. She steps inside and freezes in her tracks
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Welcome home😄😄
Emma
Emma
!
Emma
Emma
*Hesitant* Uh... mn
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Tilting head* Did you sleep well at the hotel? 😀😀
Emma
Emma
*Eyes wide. stiffens as if hit by lightning*
Emma
Emma
(H-HOW DID SHE KNOW?!)
Luna sipping her coffee, acting nonchalant
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Oh, don’t look so shocked. I’m just glad you’re safe and sound. You know... it’s dangerous for a young girl like you to go wandering off in the middle of the night, staying at a hotel all alone😃
Emma
Emma
*GULPS*
Emma
Emma
Uh..
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
It’s a good thing I’m thorough. Remember when we first met? I might’ve... added a little tracker to your bag😀😀😀😀
Emma
Emma
(She WHAT?!)
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
You’re welcome. For keeping you safe from yourself
Emma
Emma
*Nervous laugh* I-I didn’t ask for that.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Oh, I know. But I did it anyway. Because someone has to keep you out of trouble *walk towards her*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Leans forward slightly, voice lower* Don’t think you can avoid me that easily.
Emma
Emma
*Takes another step back*
her face flushed from the sheer intensity of Luna’s words.
She turns to leave, desperate to escape the awkward tension
Before Emma can fully retreat
Luna moves swiftly, pinning her against the wall with a loud thud as her hand slams beside Emma’s head.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
(KABEDON)
Emma
Emma
! *Startled, eyes wide*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Avoiding me again, huh? Running away isn’t going to solve anything *Face inches from Emma’s, voice serious but soft*
Emma
Emma
I-I wasn’t running away *Flustered, avoiding eye contact*
Emma
Emma
*tries to turn her head*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*gently tilts her chin back with my fingers, forcing her to look at me*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Listen to me. If you ever pull another stunt like that, sneaking off, ignoring my calls, I will find you. Every. Single. Time. And you won’t get away that easily
Emma
Emma
*Stammering* U-ugh...
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Leaning in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper* Are, we, clear?
Emma
Emma
*Nods quickly, too overwhelmed to argue*
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
...
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
*Pulls back*
her expression softening as she gently brushes a strand of hair from Emma’s face
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
good.. *soft smile*
Luna straightens up, her usual calm demeanor returning, though there’s a faint smile on her lips
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
Sorry if I scared you. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.
Luna (Violet)
Luna (Violet)
breakfast is ready. Don’t let it get cold. *Walks away casually*
Emma
Emma
*GASP* Haa haa
Emma
Emma
(What the hell was that?!)
BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP
Her face burns bright red as she slides down the wall, clutching her knees
Emma
Emma
*BLUSH*
Hot
