Episode 1: late night chat

I opened my eyes, groggily checking the time. 3:00 AM glared back at me.

My mind racing from the nightmare, I reached for my phone to distract myself.

Luna: What are you doing? I'm not sleepy. What about you?

Me (Leo): Oh, you're awake too. I thought you were asleep.

Luna: Ok, but tomorrow bring my game.

Me (Leo): What?! You're asking for it back already? I just borrowed it yesterday!

Luna: My cousin wants to try it. I told him I gave it to you, but he didn't believe me.

Me (Leo): Fine... (yawn) I'll bring it tomorrow.

Luna: Okay then, good night.

Me (Leo): You should say morning~

Luna: Whatever, bye

I chuckled, shaking my head. Only Luna would text me at 3 AM.

The next morning, I rushed to school, remembering the game at the last minute.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late!" I muttered, hastening my pace.

Mr. Donald's punishment loomed over me. I had to avoid it.

As I entered the classroom, I scanned the room for Luna, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where is she?" I wondered.

Mr. Donald's stern voice interrupted my thoughts. "Ah, Leo, you're late again. Five minutes of standing punishment!"

I stood, whispering apologies, as my mind began to wander. Then, one of our classmate, Pedro came near me and started telling some kinds of- blah blah blah, like "hey bro, you're late again did you play games late at night or something else? (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)"

Me(Leo) : What? Something else, what do you mean?

Pedro: Something like, Late night chatting?

Me: ........, don't speak rubbish.

Just then, the door swung open, and Luna walked in, her hair messy, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. Traffic," she said with a weird face but cute.

I made a weird face back, feeling a mix of relief and... something else.

"Luna, where were you?" our classmate, Joseph, asked.

Luna launched into a story about last night, chilling and fighting with her cousin.

As she spoke, I found myself stealing glances at her.

The class continued, with Luna occasionally catching my eye and raising eyebrows.

During lunch, Luna plopped down beside me.

"Hey, where's my game?" she asked, eyes sparkling.

I grinned. "Forgot. Sorry."Σ(゜゜)

Luna playfully rolled her eyes. "You're going to pay for this."( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

As we bantered, our classmates began to stare.

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.

"I'll bring your game tomorrow," I promised.

Luna: "Better."

With that, she walked off to her next class, leaving me wondering what the day had in store.

Luna is not like ordinary girls, wearing makeups, pretty fancy dresses and especially shy. She's a bold girl with a boyish type personality. That's why we twos are best friend, I can share everything with her,

Even for that we don't hesitate.

This is the introduction of our friendship.
