My Moon by S. D. A. (a court of thorns and roses ebook free .txt) 📖

to Other Hana, cause I thought it would hurt her and her delicate bird bones.
"Ah, see? Don't I make you feel better?" She laughed and sighed at the same time.
"I never thought I'd do this again, Rowan." I felt something wet on my shoulder, but when I looked at her face, it was dry. I didn't remind her she hugged me for the pie last night. It seemed liked she wasn't talking to me anymore.
For the first time since I've seen her normal, I took a good look at her. It seemed like a white light surrounded her whole body; like a halo. She was wearing a pumpkin colored sweater dress, like she knew today there was a a ceremony. She wore pumpkin and gold hightops that really completed the outfit, as if she were ready for a sprint.
"You look really pretty Hana. Swan-like and girly." I said, smiling. "You really want to go to school with me? Or is it just to keep my hopes up?" She smirked.
"No, I want to go, since it is my choice. I'll explain everything when your ready, but you also need time to remember on your own." She smiled but it felt like she was avoiding my eyes. Even though I didn't know her too well, I could tell she was hiding something, but I kept my mind busy thinking on what outfit I should wear. I knew she could read minds. That was a fact since I first found her during my accident.
She smiled, and jumped up gracefully, and landed on the sole of the sneakers. Though they landed quietly, they ended up squeaky. It took all the strength I had to keep my laughter in. Hana looked around unaware it came from her feet.
My giggle exploded from my mouth and I had to bury myself in a pillow to muffle it. She shrugged when I was done, and grabbed my arm to bring me to my closet. She tapped twice on the knob and opened the door. I gasped in shock for the second time.
She made. My closet. Into a mall. There was a giant mini mall inside, full of cabinets and tables, and at the back were three vending machines. One for shoes, accesories and bags. I looked at Hana, my heart jumping at the sight before me. I squealed in delight as I hugged her with a hundred thank you's and I love you's.
"Let me do it first for you. You seem too eager. It's just magic!" She was laughing but squeezing my shoulders in anticipation. She was the same height as me so it would be perfect to share.
I followed her as she picked out my outfit for the day she asked me questions, like the day it was today and my favorite color and number. I asked her questions too. Her favorite color was autumn, a nice blend I had never seen before, though I guessed it was like the season. She said it was because I hadn't been to her homeland before either. She turned her head away for a second while she looked through Abercrombie shirts.
Her favorite season was summer, she loved omelettes, she enjoyed swimming and flying when she was a swan. I enjoyed getting to know her at the end of her pursuit for the perfect outfit for me. I honestly considered her my first friend. I laughed,best friend.
"Voila!" She held up my outfit."It's complete!" I stared at my outfit. There was honestly no good enough word I could think of to compliment it. It was more beautiful than charming, it was more different than unique, it was more perfect to suit anyones taste. It was f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s. It was a silver silk blouse with puffed sleeves, and jean skirt that had blue rowan flowers on the side, that matched my eyes. Then it was complete with silver ballet flats and jean patch carrier bag.
For the first time in a long time, it felt like me. It made me feel beautiful and organized. My bag was even half-filled with everything I needed. And this bag was small! Everything is so neat! Its so me! Everything was small except for a binder that held three wallets and a good 700 sheets of paper. The wallets were marked: Emergency, Cash, and Utensils.
I almost started to cry, it was like magic! "It is magic silly goose." She bumped my elbow as we quietly went down stairs, careful not to wake anyone. I grabbed two Pourtugese rolls from the bread box and they were buttered and stiff, like biscutts. She laughed at my effort, and I laughed when she sniffed it. I quickly scribbled a note for Gran, and wrote the time for Benny's bus schedule.
Hana and I were laughing quietly as we walked out the door, nibbling our 'biscutts' when I saw a tan boy our age at the bottom of the porch steps. He had chestnut hair with red highlights, and you could easily tell he worked out from the muscled arms under the blue sweater he wore with black jeans.
I wasn't the only one who stared. The boy was staring at Hana and me with an awe in his eyes and a playful smirk on his lips. Hana just stared at him, laughter written all over her face, her eyes turned brown for a minute. The sun was shining through now, and you could easily see her eyes. The boy's eyes were an almost gold, very light.
Both of us were walking closely to each other and I followed her as she walked to the stranger's side. I kept staring, keeping my thoughts to myself. Hana looked the guy up and down and started laughing as she grabbed his arm. "You clean up good, wolf boy." She smiled that perfect smile. His smile was strikingly as kind as his voice, and my bad thoughts vanished.
"Not to shabby yourself, bird girl." He looked at me briefly before turning back to her.
"You didn't tell her?" There was accusation and mock anger in his voice.
Hana fidgeted. She turned back to me, and wrapped her arm through mine. "Okay, Rowan Walker, Lupin Lunaer; Lupin, Rowan. There you've met again, happy?" She looked great even rolling her eyes. I stared at Lupin, I had my poker face on. Inside, I was screaming, WTH?!?. It actually didn't really surprise me. I wondered why I was like that...
He mocked bowed. "Glad to entertain you." he muttered sarcastically,"I hope she didn't give you a shock, Rowan. I wouldn't be good if she made our dear friend die from shock, would it?" He smiled, pulling out a hand. I blushed as all three of us laughed. I shook his hand, my cheeks still burning, when he pulled me into a hug. I stood still and straight like a bird. Something was scratching through his throat when I realized it was his laugh.
I pulled away, smiling,the hug felt good, like Hana's.Almost welcoming. "Let's go!We can't be late to school on our first day!" I grabbed their hands and pulled them to the bus stop. They both made a face. "Shes worse than you." He pointed at Hana. "No, its good to be in control!" Hana said, defending me. We both stuck our tounge out at him.
Lupin, rolled his eyes. We all laughed, and they both looped arms with me, and that felt so wonderful and familliar. That made me think of something.
Four children, by their back, one boy at each end and they were all hollding hands. The girl with longest hair pulled away, and turned to me, but I couldn't see the child's face. She started to cry and scream, and ran into some woods they were walking by. The other three children stood still crying, but one boy, the ones hand she had been holding ran after her. As I watched the two children grew to look as though they were fourteen.
From the woods, the little girl with long hair didn't return with the boy, until he walked forward, limping with an unconcious girl in his lanky arms. The boys face was hardly visible, tears were running down it. I just stood there, suddenly behind the boys frame, as he screamed a girls name that I couldn't hear.
But the girl stood up, backing away from the boy who ran after her, and something trickled down her face. I couldn't tell whether it was blood or tears, but she looped arms with the other two and never looked back as she ran away.
I was pulled back to Hana and Lupin, and they were talking to me. "What's a bus like? Is it as big as a dragon, or clunky like that thing?" They pointed to my Gran's car.
Tears were in my eyes and I blinked them away, shocked at those tears. "It's normal, yellow and big. But, no, not as big OR clunky like my Gran's car or dragon! " I rolled my eyes and sighed in relief. The tears were gone. This will take some time getting used to, I chuckled as they half covered me as the bus came.
"Well, it smells like sweaty jocks, its yellow, and it brings a dragon to shame." I muttered, "This is what a bus is." I patted their arms and pulled them aside.
"Watch me." I explained. I walked toward the doors and said good-morning to the bus driver. He was friendly looking, and had red cheeks from happiness. I liked him instantly. Slowly Lupin and Hana came when I beckoned them. "First time?" the bus driver asked kindly. Both of them looked sharply at him. "Yes." They both agreed at the same time and looked warily at the half full bus.
"Thanks!" I shouted as I walked to the middle of the bus where it was empty. Both of my friends followed quickly to my side and we shared the three person seat, me in the middle. Some jocks where behind us, whistling. "Hey, sweetheart! My names, Yours." I turned around to stare at an impish guy staring at me with wild eyes.
Lupin started to get up when my eyes narrowed, but I looked at him.
Can I please go? Please? He seems like a jerk who needs some shredding...Lupin asked. I think you shouldn't not if you want Rowan and me to get hurt, Lu. Hana smiled, then added Maybe after school, we can use a mask? Oh, I can persuade them to come over and you can beat them to a pulp! Can we Rowan?! She looked at me pleadingly,eagerness seeping through her smile.
"After. And please, please don't kill them." I pointed at Lupin,remembering he had wolf instincts. He smiled.I turned back to the jock, really wanting to do something, and purred,"Yours, right?" He nodded eagerly at me tone. "Well, can I tell you a secret? You can take Yours and screw yourself. I personally would kill myself rather than be with an ass like you, who has a girlfriend and two other girls who are older and unaware of eachother. How unfortunate...if something like that were to slip out if you try hitting on me again."
I batted my eyelashes and smiled, rememberng how much that pissed the guys off in middle school.
The jock wasn't smiling when I turned around, my friends laughing their butts off. I was proud to finish, but at the next stop, he came up to me, his breath in my ear, and Lupin turned to him, anger in his eyes, Hana her hands into claws. But he whispered,"No girl gets away with dissing Burns Howe. So, none of your friends get hurt and you don't get any problems from my buddies over there, get it, sweet cheeks?" I nodded at
