“You, you fucking bitch ...”
She swings her arms at Luna, who is standing within an instant and smashing Wren’s face to the table. The thud is almost drowned out by Wren’s scream, but it doesn’t stop Luna. She cages her in from behind, with her hand gripping Wren’s hair, keeping her in place.
“I thought you might have learned from Saturday, but clearly I was mistaken. Every time you try me, it’ll get worse, do you understand? I couldn’t give a shit who you think you are, you have no idea who I am and what I’m capable of. I recommend you keep that in mind for future reference,” Luna growls.
With that, she stands tall with her hand still wrapped in Wren’s hair, lifting her up off the table and shoving her back in the direction she came from.
“Pepperoni pizza and meat feast pizza for Steele and Watson,” a waiter approaches with a tray loaded with food.
Luna doesn’t even spare Wren another glance.
“Yeah, perfect timing. Thank you,” she answers calmly, like none of that just happened.
Wren goes straight out of the cafeteria with her girl group chasing after her.
The girls start eating, is this another universe?
Are we not going to address anything that just happened? Jessica glances around the table noticing all of us staring at Luna with our jaws slightly loose, and she just giggles breaking the silence at the table.
“Fuck me beautiful, you can gladly have me by the balls. As a matter of fact, I insist. I’ll even buy a pretty jar for you to put them in, yeah?” Oscar says out loud.
Everyone just looks at him when Roman bursts out laughing.
“His fucking purr,” he chuckles, and the table breaks into a fit of laughter.
Except Oscar.
“Luna baby, tell them,” he pleads, holding his arms out wide.
She takes one look at him and grins.
“Well if they’re as small as I think they are, I can wear them as earrings, yeah baby?”
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
(Luna)
I don’t even understand what happened at lunch. As if I’ve not dealt with enough already, and it’s not even been four days yet. My life back home was easy, simple really, how I like it. There is so much going on here that I can’t control.
When Parker took a seat, I didn’t really consider the repercussions until Red mentioned it. When Parker responded, it was clear in his eyes that he meant it. I’m not sure what I actually did earlier, to make him stand his ground with his friends, but he seems happy about it.
I could see he hadn’t meant for it to cause such a stir, it shouldn’t be a big deal for him to sit where he wanted, but it caused a power play. One that left me in the shit, yet I still couldn’t bring myself to be mad at him.
From the way Wren screamed it’s obvious Roman is the leader, and his presence brought the power. That thought has me remembering Roman’s whispered words.
“You better not make me regret trusting Parker about you. I know you’re a little liar, and it won’t be his fault when you fuck up. Now, she’s about to cause a scene, and you Princess are gonna show me you can handle it. For Parker, because he’s never paved his own path before, do you understand?”
I’d simply nodded, this was a big deal, bigger than me, and usually I’d say fuck that and run, but I felt the need to validate Parker’s confidence in me. Roman seems adamant I’m a liar, and I don’t have the care to understand why.
I seriously needed to lie down, but sadly I was sitting in the Rolls heading back to Weaponry. Wren was nowhere to be seen, so I managed to jump in a car on my own. Luckily, Ian was the driver and he was happy to help.
See what I mean? Ian is already on my Christmas list.
Arriving at the main building, where the lockers are, I gather my belongings and head to get changed. From what I can tell, this building is just to hold the mini vaults and the changing rooms.
I kick my heels off and feel instant relief.
Bliss.
Hanging my uniform, I change into a loose black top over my sports bra and a pair of tight black shorts. Popping my combat boots on I feel like me, this girl in the mirror I know. Taking a few minutes to just sit, on my own, in silence, was just what I needed, seeing as I was on my own in here.
I sat on the bench, back straight against the wall with my head tilted up slightly. Taking a few deep breaths I find my center, relax my mind and the weight of the world doesn’t feel so heavy again.
A knock on the door gains my attention.
“Sakura, you ready?” called Kai.
There goes my silence.
I lock my uniform away and grab my suitcase. Stepping outside Kai is alone, offering me a quick smile and then he’s leading the way. Since our screaming match this morning I’ve found that isn’t really his character. He’s very quiet and observant, which I like.
He offers comfortable silence, no small talk, it’s perfect.
He leads me out of the main building and towards what looks like a giant circus tent, all blue and white stripes. It looks odd compared to the rest of the campus, but out here there is only the Combat building as well, so it doesn’t look as garish as it could.
Kai holds the door for me, and I step into a massive space which is laid out with different target practice areas, for both guns and blades, around the outside and a small seating area in the middle.
Following Kai’s lead, we head to the center. The rest of the guys are here, along with the guys from Diamond and Hearts. I read that all men from the top three blocks are required to attend weapons whilst only the women
