Moonlight by Aiden R. Ranks (good short books txt) 📖

it was instant love, or first love in sight, I never believe in such a thing.” I said solemnly.
“It’s funny how you say that” Ryan said.
“What do you mean?” I asked
“Well, some people don’t believe in such a thing, but trust me I do” he said up and smiling
I looked at the sky as well, people might not believe in that fact. But I didn’t believe in it either, until I met Emily.
“To be completely honest, I’m actually afraid” I said not trying to sound intimidated.
“In what way?” he asked
“Listen, I’ve been through this before, once and I tell you they where the most depressing days of my life”
He noticed I was getting a little sad and began to tap my back. It was really nice and comfortable telling this to someone.
“Same here, I’ve been down the winding road” he said solemnly
“It’s just I don’t want to get hurt again, not again never again. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to deny these feelings either. It’s just the fear”
I told him the other thing I’m scared about.
“In my life, I’ve had so many relationships. Some of which I regret, some of which I will never forget but only one that I thought to be the one. I’m tired of fake love, falling on me like rain from above” I said sounding poetic.
“I agree, but why don’t you just tell her that” he recommended
“I just met her, which would be extremely odd” I said as he laughed
“Just remember this, never deny what you are feeling deep inside or that you think you might be able to feel you never know if it could be a very beautiful thing, and once you find love or love finds you cherish it and never let it go” he said with a very kind smile.
“Thanks, it really helps” I said.
I changed the topic and decided to talk about my weird and mysterious dreams lately.
“There is more though” I said
“Go on” he replied
“This might sound a little strange, and supernatural.” I laughed sarcastically.
He laughed as well.
We began playing football as Mr. Richards yelled at everyone to not be scared of the ball or to get tackled down.
“Come on ladies” he yelled
“I’ve been having these strange dreams, two so far but there strange no doubt” I said.
“Ok like”
“Well these are weird, but the night before yesterday I had a dream where I sat in front of white grand piano. It was silent, so I tried to play it, but I couldn’t. I tried again and again but I could not. It was scary as if I have never played the piano before.
“I don’t know it sounds like an ordinary dream or nightmare to me” he said
“It does, but what was odd was this. Before I had that nightmare I had another dream, I was playing the piano when a violin theme I have never heard in my life joined me in my sonata. The next day, in sixth period Emily was playing that same theme” I said a little spooked.
“No way, that is weird, huh no wonder you looked like you’d seen a ghost or something the other day”
“Yeah, Well, I had another dream last night, this one was not as bad, because the first one was seriously freaky, the feeling I felt was terrible, I did not like it at all, I felt cold and lifeless”
“Scary, seriously no kidding” said Ryan
“Hey! You two quite chatting and get your heads into the game” yelled Mr. Richards at us.
“I seriously don’t feel like playing football, it isn’t that fun in the first place or in my opinion.”
We apparently had to stop our conversation due to the threat Mr. Richard told us. Either we play or we clean the entire boys’ locker room.

Lunch time had finally come and I was hungry today. I think it was all that energy I used up playing football. Ryan and I sat in our usual spots and talked about all the rumors and news.
“How about this, I’ll talk to Emily for you” he said finishing his servings.
“No it’s ok, I can do that myself but I don’t know how. I plan to just let her know that I like her, that I think she is very attractive, to me and I would like to get to know her better” I said hopeful
“That sounds about right, and here is your chance buddy” he said waving at someone behind me
I looked behind me knowing who it was going to be he was waving at. Emily made her way towards us along with her was Daisy.
I did the simplest thing to do, I panicked.
“Hi there” said Emily happily
“What’s up Emily, you sound happy what’s going on” asked Ryan
“I’m kind off excited, Mrs. Patterson is going on a field trip, and I get to go.”
“What’s the field trip about?” asked Ryan
“It’s a live play about romance and music and all the sort of stuff you guys are not interested about” she said.
“Yeah, unlike us girls who love romance.” said Daisy eyeing me oddly.
I felt a little awkward that Daisy would sometimes give me little gestures in an awkwardly situation.
“I’ve been waiting for this field trip, I love things like these.” said Emily widely.
“Mrs. Patterson huh, hey I have Mrs. Patterson for my fourth period. She’s language arts right.” I said
“That’s her.” said Emily
“Hey, you might be able to go she’s taking students who want to go from all her classes”
This was perfect, I wanted to talk to Emily and get to know her better and tell her about my feelings. This was just perfect.
“I’m going” I quickly said I had found courage.
“Really that is really nice Lewis” said Emily
“I wish I could go” said Daisy sadly
“Cheer up, me and you can have a load of fun in lunch tomorrow.” said Ryan excitedly.
Daisy smiled and nodded.
“I guess.” she said

My next class was Mr. Alvord’s class, but I did not mind getting one tardy I ran towards Mrs. Patterson’s class. I wanted that permission slip, tomorrow was the field trip and her class had already passed today it was my only chance. I was determined for this.
Mrs. Patterson had a class for fifth period and I had to walk through the class.
“Lewis, what are you doing here?” she said with her southern accent.
“I came as quick as I could, I hear your inviting any student from any of your classes to the field trip and I want to go.” I said catching my breath.
“Lewis I mention that a two days ago.” she said going through her papers.
“You did?” I said trying to remember if she ever did
“Yes silly, but you day dream to much.”
I felt my face began to blush intensely, I think I know why I did not hear her talk about the field trip. My mind drifts off often.
“But here, you can still go just bring it back tomorrow ok.” she said handing me the paper.
“Oh thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot.” I said as I plunged out the class room.
I was ten minutes late but I did not worry at all. As I ran out on the hall way I looked out the window and noticed Simon walking with a bunch of big beefy guys. The football team no doubt, I still couldn’t figure out what he meant by me day dreaming same thing Mrs. Patterson had said, I was pretty sure I knew what they were talking about.
Day dreaming, I haven’t seen him but he has seen me, I did not hear Mrs. Patterson mention the field trip, I was too distracted to notice them, Emily is the only focus I’ve had these past two days. Now I felt guilty. “I’ll talk to you later Simon” I thought.

I walked out of fifth period plunging to my favorite class of the day where Ryan, Emily and I began a daily routine where we would come in sit together and talk until we began practice. The day went on as usual and I had the time of my life, like every other day. I played with the entire class. Our seating arrangements had changed; Emily sat with the Cellos and by the Violinists’ I got to sit by them which was neat. Ryan had the opportunity to sit near the bells which were similar to the Piano. I focused on the Piano and tried to stay focused, but her beauty was amazing and vivid. Boy I have a problem. Class was over soon and I thought it was too early to finish class but to my surprise a whole hour had gone by. Time sure does go by fast when you are having fun.
The bell rang and everyone started leaving once they had put their instruments away. Emily had to go, her parents where here for her since it had gotten extremely cold outside. She said bye to Ryan and I and what was shocking of me was what I did next.
“Emily?” I said her name.
She was about to turn and walk away but she stopped to look at me.
“Yeah what is it?” She said wondering what I had to say.
“You’re leaving without a hug” I muttered the words. I could feel my face turn red. I was blushing intensely I felt like a tomato. She smiled and opened her arms. I smiled at her and moved towards her. I couldn’t believe it I actually had courage enough to give her a hug. Inside I exploded with pure happiness. She smelled so nice and rich. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. She was so warm and for a moment I was the happiest person in the universe. But it quickly went away she let go and waved good bye. Now I was lonely and a cold.
“There you go see I knew you could do it” Said Ryan smacking me on my right shoulder.
I was nervous and still. But then I smiled and began to laugh.
“I did it ha, I knew I could deep inside” I mention.
Ryan had to go home and left telling me to keep it up. I smiled at him and said I would try my best. The busses were about to leave and it was freezing outside. I definitely did not want to walk home. It’s October and it’s cold but what can I say it’s nearing winter. I jumped on the bus and said hi to the bus driver who seemed so friendly. I usually sit on the back but this time I sat 4 seats away from the bus driver. The reason to that was the heater was in the 4th seat. I was warm the whole way home.
I had to walk home for 5 minutes from where the bus drops me off and when I got home a blue car was parked outside of my house. I ran inside wondering who it belonged to.
I walked in and saw Mike and Simon wrestling on the couch they stopped once they saw me.
“Your home that’s great, how’s the talented pianist doing?” he asked standing up to give me a hand shake, he gave me a little family hug.
“I’ve been great Simon, thanks, tell me how you been?”
“Oh me, I’ve been great as well, life has
