Rough start

I hesitated for a moment looking at the chair Luna motioned me towards. Sadly, the look in Luna's eyes indicated she wouldn't take no for an answer. So I pulled out the chair carefully, feeling Gilda's death glare at me. "So Orion how are you today?" Luna asked in a surprisingly calm voice.

I hesitated, mostly because I thought Gilda was gonna kill me. "I'm fine.." I answered. Luna simply nodded and looked over at Gilda, "Could you step outside for a bit Gilda?" Luna's voice made it sound more like a demand then a question. Without even a word Gilda got up, gave me another glare, and walked out. Luna then gave me a smirk, and took a sip of her coffee.

Luna gave me another look, "So, about what happened on Friday." Luna said in a more stern tone then usual. I put my head down, "Look, I didn't say anything I just saw her....then she chased me." I answered. Luna gave me a curious look. She shook her head and sighed.

"You know, Gilda has had a lot of these situations before. I want to make a deal with you." Luna said. I looked back up, wondering what she meant by this. "What do you mean?" I asked.

Luna gave me another look, "I need someone to keep an eye on her, make sure she gets to class and stays out of trouble." I knew almost immediately what she was getting at. I gave Luna a death glare. "Hell no." I said sternly. Luna simply shook her head and looked back at me.

"Why not?" She asked in an almost childish voice. I gave her another glare, "She nearly killed me!" I said getting irritated. She gave me another calm look "Shes done that to nearly everyone." Luna said back. I took a deep breath to try and calm down.

"Why would you even want me to do this?" I asked trying to calm down. Luna took a second to get the right words and answered "You blend in easily, you pay attention to detail, and you are fast...incase she chases you again." I gave her a dumbfounded look.

I sighed again, "what do I get in return then?" I asked, somehow considering what she wanted. Luna gave me a smirk, she then reached down from her desk and pulled out two boxes. A gunpla of Epyon from gundam wing, and what looked like a whole army of Blood Angel space marines. I looked intently at the two items.

"So you're bribing me to risk my life? for plastic?" I asked. Luna nodded with her smirk. "You have a deal." I said to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both me and Luna exchanged phone numbers, so I could call her in case Gilda ran off. I walked out the door, feeling somewhat smug. That was until I felt Gilda's now signature stare again. All of my confidence seemed to shrivel up and die when she did. I turned my head slowly, trying not to shake...sadly I failed.

I tried to bring words to my mouth, but each one died on its trip. She just stared at me, "I already know. Follow you around or I'm expelled." Gilda said in a terrifying tone. I simply nodded and motioned her to follow me. She just paced past me, "I already know the first class dweeb." I snapped out of my fearful state, shocked someone still used dweeb as an insult.

She then turned her head with anger in her eyes. "What?! Come on lets get this over with!" She ordered at me. I quickly went back to my scared state. So I did what she said and continued to walk behind her. I put my head down trying to calm down.

My eyes explored the yellow floors of the hallways, I was always amazed by how clean they keep everything. Guess that Discord janitor was good, even if he seemed off. I was still nervous to be around her, I still had a feeling she'd kill me; but I still managed to be somewhat relaxed.

I moved my head back up after calming down more. My eyes were met my something I really wish I didn't love staring at. Gilda's bottom was secured in her blue jeans. It was surprisingly large for her, but she was well endowed. I really wanted to look away, as her catching me would be a death sentence for me. Sadly my willpower wasn't the strongest...

Thankfully for me Gilda knocked loudly on the door of our first class. It scared my head backup to normal. It was math class, and the bell rang awhile ago. Hopefully Luna called to let the teacher know. That said teacher did open the door, their expression changed when she saw Gilda. "Go on, seat yourself." Time Turner said to Gilda. He simply smiled and nodded at me. Thankfully no one seemed to notice me, they all seemed to be focused on Gilda; although, a few looked at me when the noticed me next to her....crap

If to make that worse the only spare seat was next to Gilda, which I sat in awkwardly. I heard a few whispers in the back of the class, no doubt talking about Gilda...and possibly me too. Turner taught multiple grades for math, freshmen to junior to be exact. I simply sighed and pulled out my notebook. Turner continued to teach fractions, I simply too notes. I then noticed that Gilda had no paper or even a pen.

I quickly and quietly took a piece of paper, a spare pen, and moved them both over to Gilda's desk. Gilda turned to me curiously with a very confused look on her face. She gave me a quiet yet clearly sarcastic thank you. I just shook my head, but at least I tried being nice to her. The rest of the class was uneventful, this included the next two classes.

Throughout all three of them I could hear people muttering when they saw Gilda, they did it more when the saw me with her. I simply tried to ignore them, but it was still tough for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both me and Gilda walked in the lunchroom. She practically led me to our own table. There were three guys sitting there, but seeing Gilda walk towards the table made them all bolt. I felt sorry for them, but I somehow doubted I could protest. Once we both sat down I pulled out my lunch bag and rummaged through its contents. A trail mix, slices of an orange, carrots, a brownie, and a sandwich. Gilda on the other hand, had nothing.

"Do you?...have any....food.." I asked not being able to not be quiet. She gave me another glare, but saw something different in her face. She seemed somewhat saddened by that question, I was just surprised she could hear me. I looked down at my contents.

I just shook my head and handed over my sandwich. "What are yo-" Gilda said until she saw the look on my face. "Just have it, I have plenty of food." I said to her. She gave me a curious look, one that for once wasn't laced with anger. She grabbed the sandwich from my hands. It didn't take her long before she started eating.

We sat there quietly in silence. I tried to think of something to start a conversation. "So....what type of music do you like?..." I asked, thinking of a cliche question. Gilda turned her head to me, with her eyebrows cocked. She sat there in silence for so long I thought she chose to ignore me. "I like metal and rock.." Gilda answered.

I turned to her, actually interisted in her answer. "Me too actually, favorite bands?" I asked becoming more comfortable. She seemed to be a little more comfortable too. "Well, ffdp is pretty good. Dethklok was good before they canceled the show"

My face lit up, "Oh I love dethklok, really wish adult swim kept it" I said actually not quite scared of her beating me up. She chuckled slightly. "I know, it was hilarious. So what hobbies do you have?" Gilda asked.

I looked at her and gave an honest answer "I paint miniature soldiers from a scifi universe, I assemble figures of Japanese robots, and I tend to draw." I could see her small smile fade away almost in seconds. She turned her head away from me "You ruined it, you made it nerdy." She said sternly.

"But...I...dammit.." we sat at lunch in a silence again. At least I got somewhere with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of the day both of us walked out the front doors. I turned to say a friendly goodbye to her, but she seemed to have disappeared. So I just continued to walk forward. Seeing my dad in his car to pick me up. His old green colored, I could never remember the name but it was a 70's model.

I got into the car, and tried to relax. "Hello sonny, how was your day?" my dad asked in his classic calm and warming voice.

"It was something.."
