Dancing for the moon

This is one morning you wished you definitely didn't have to wake up early for. After promptly kicking the slut out of your room, you found yourself slowly closing and sinking down the front door. You sighed at the absolute disgust you just experienced as the night repeated in your head. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck." you silently yelled. "Not only am I on the ropes for this by the oh so glamorous top bitch of the school.....I think I fucking enjoyed it." After another sigh you found yourself back to your feet. "Guess I'll get ready for work then. No use in worrying about it now." You lazily threw on your clothes still feeling fatigue from last night before exiting the room. Luckily, no students meant you were safe to wander the halls without the usual harassment from the casual greetings to the seductive suggestions. You walked slowly, almost inert, constantly thinking to yourself that you were basically screwed. There's no telling what this girl could do. I barely know her yet there she was on my bed like a fucking hound ready to pounce. Why didn't I just kick her out? I'm sure I would've gotten somebody on my side.

"Oh!"

It was then that you realized your mistake of bumping into someone. "Oh sorry Coco."

"You're fine Mr. Winter. You seemed lost in thought though, something on your mind?"

Upon hearing this question, you paused for a moment. Should I tell her? Maybe she'll understand what happened. Of course she is a bit of klutz when it comes to keeping secrets. "No, nothing at all. I was just thinking about what what I needed to get done today before the kids show up."

"Are you sure? You seem quite distressed?"

"Trust me, I'm fine."

"If you say so."

Coco made her way past you allowing you to continue to your classroom. Maybe I should've told her. She might be the only person who'll believe me. Damn, too late now. Five minutes later, you found yourself at your room ready to unlock the door. Upon doing so, you heard a slight gasp the next room over followed by a sad and quiet, "Oh man." After setting your bag down, you walked over to the adjacent classroom, peeking your head in just a little to see a young girl within picking up some papers from the floor. "Great now I have to organize them again."

"Excuse me but are you ok?"

"I'm fine thank you, just dropped some papers is all."

"Do you need some help with that?"

"It would be appreciated yes."

As you entered the room, you couldn't help but admire her from behind whoever she was. You were never one to observe a woman's assets, kind of rude in your opinion but this was kind of unavoidable as she was sitting flat on her butt with her legs out at both her sides. Not much was shown up top as she was wearing a very concealing sweater but down below was magic. She was wearing a pair of capris where the perfect amount of her butt was filled out allowing even a small part of her lips to show through. Having enough of being a creeper, you made your way to her and began picking up the papers along side her. You never took the chance to look at her directly but focused on the papers at ground level."So you must be the new student teacher I presume?"

"That would be me."

"My name's Winter Fall, I'll be the teacher showing you the ropes the next couple of weeks.

"I'm Moondancer, very nice to meet you Mr. Winter Fall."

Moondancer? Where in the world have I heard that name before. You finished picking up her papers, as did she, before you handed them to her. Almost simultaneously, your eyes met with instant curiosity. Wait a minute, I know the beautiful lavender eyes from somewhere. Almost immediately she jumped to hug you. Her arms latched around your neck, you spun her around before embracing. "Oh my god Winter, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Moondancer?! It's really you!"

And so reunites the destined lovers of legend is what you'd like to say. Kinda like how it is here, girls were all over you left and right back in Crystal prep because of your almost perfect good looks and impossible intelligence. After arriving at Canterlot High for your last two years, you came across a young girl....named Moondancer.

2 weeks after enrollment

"Damn, knew I should've asked for that tour of the school. 2 weeks in and I still don't know where the musical arts room is." You frantically searched for the room that said something related to music on the door hoping that it would be in plain sight. "How do you people find your way around this school? Maybe I should go ask the off.....huh?"

You immediately turned your attention to focus on the voice coming from seemingly nowhere. Almost like a magnet, you were drawn to seek out the voice until you ended up at a empty classroom. Empty, all except for a girl furiously studying it seemed. "And If I move that there, I should be able to remove this from the equation allowing the rest to achieve the required amoun.....No no no, that's wrong too dammit."

"Excuse me?"

"Maybe If I change this an..."

"Um...Excuse me?"

She jumped at your greeting throwing her glasses off in a blur. "Oh not again."

"Here let me get those for you." you offered. Upon picking up her discarded glasses, you did your best to clean them before returning them to her eyes. "There you go."

As soon as your eyes met, an immediate blush came across her face. "Um..thanks."

"No problem." A long awkward silence went across you two as the world seemed to slow with every passing moment.

"So you need something? I've never seen you around before so I'll assume you're the new guy?"

"Yep, name's Winter Fall."

"Interesting name indeed. Well I got a lot of work to do so if you could leave."

"Well that's one way to greet somebody."

"Look I just need to get to work ok."

"Why so much hostility?"

"None of your business ok!"

"Ok ok, I can tell when i'm not wanted." you said as began to exit the room.

"Um..wait please. I'm sorry about that, i've just been dealing with alot today."

"Trust me, everyone has a bad day here and there. What you need is someone to talk to and a little bit of hakuna matata."

"Oh hey I love that movie...I don't know though...we literally just met."

"Hey I'm a naturally nice guy. Least you can do is give me a name."

"It's.......Moondancer."

"Moondancer huh? That's a very beautiful name."

She blushed like a fire hydrant as she adjusted her glasses. "N-noted......."

"So.....something on your mind?"

"I was gonna ask why you're here?"

"Well, I was trying to find the music room in the confusing school when it sounded like you were having some trouble."

"Oh...sorry about that. I was studying and I kind of zone out when I study which usually includes a increase in volume."

"Sounded like you were going over some...i'm gonna take a wild guess and say math."

"Exactly, I was taking a shot at my math homework early but something about this equation just doesn't add up. The more I think about it, the more frustrated it makes me!"

"Hey calm down a little, no need to get worked up. Maybe I can help."

"Knock yourself out."

You looked over the problem, basic stuff it seemed except for the scribbles that she made all over it. "See here's your issue, you messed up early in the problem."

"Wait really?"

"You got the wrong number before trying to solve for x. Erase all this and instead...." You promptly instructed her to the right number allowing her solve the rest of the equation. "And there you go."

"Are you kidding me? I've been throwing my head against that equation for like an hour. You must be a math wiz."

"Well no actually. I excel in history and science more than anything."

"We are quite alike in that field, I mean I never really understood math but if I want to maintain my GPA, I gotta know it.

"Seriously, I never understood the whole x and y thing. Like if it's my x then y am I looking for it."

She let out a hearty giggle as she smiled only slightly. "That...was kind of funny.

"There's a smile. See what i mean, hakuna matata."

"You're so cheesy."

"It's my charm I know. Although I hope math doesn't make you this angry all the time."

"N-no."

"You wanna talk about it?"

"I don't know."

"Hey I got morals, I'm not gonna pry."

"Alright fine."

"If you don't....Wait what?"

"I'll talk."

"But I didn't even.......if you really don't.....You know what, just go ahead."

"I was harassed only slightly by some girls in the school, nothing serious."

"Harassed?"

"Yea, they say call me funny things like nerd hair, and moonbrain, those jokesters."

"Sounds more like bullying to me. Why haven't you reported this?"

She sighed before bringing her legs to the fetal position. "What's the point? It's not like I can report every single person that does it. Then majority of the entire school would be in trouble."

"So that stereotype exist here too."

"What stereotype?"

"Well, back in Crystal Prep, guys who got the looks and the smarts were praised like gods. Girls on the other hand, weren't praised like goddesses for having looks and smarts. Instead they were almost always treated like trash for being nerds when their looks could kill. It's like being a female in the school, both smart and good looking, was a crime. Sad to see it happens here as well." You glanced back at her only to see her cheeks peachy red. "Something wrong?"

"It's...just...um." she said before readjusting her glasses. "You put alot emphasis on looking good and being smart there."

"Well yea, women don't get enough credit around here, and well....you are cute." She was blushing wildly at this point, the way she continously adjusted her glasses remained the cutest part of this situation. Just then the bell for class rang making you jump up. "Holy crap i'm late. I gotta go but can I see you later?"

"Wait a second Winter." Before you could leave she slipped a piece of paper into your hand. "Text me at lunch ok?"

"Got it."

"Oh and the music room, just passed the lunch room, 2nd hallway."

"Why didn't I check there? Anyway thanks."

And that's where things romantically ended for both of you. You texted back and you guys had your fair share of moments but the question of relationship never came about, at least, not until graduation. You felt the urge to state your feelings for her but before you could do so, she let out that she would be attending college....out of state. You were devastated, downright depressed at the fact as she left for this out of state college right after graduation. Unlike most personalities however, you accepted that she moved on, the only girl you ever truly liked. You accepted your own path to college within the city and after 4 years, you joined the student teacher program where you spent the 5th getting harassed by various groups of girls. After all the sexual bullcrap you've received over the past year including Lily's sexual attempt last night, the only girl you ever wanted to be with is in your arms.

"I thought you were out of state for good Moon."

"Well at first I was, then I heard about this program and thought it might be a good career path."

"Well I assumed you'd be off becoming the smartest scientist in the world or something in that category."

"While that was a childhood dream, I had to be a bit more realistic with my career. Teaching seemed like the most likely beneficial....and...well....I really missed all my friends here."

"And boy did we miss you. I assume you're the new physics teacher?"

"Yep, just started today. I've specially prepared a few lessons for....."

"Shhhhh Moon." you said as you placed a finger across her lips. "Organization will not save you here."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm giving you your first tip of the day. It's best to follow your own conscience when it comes to these students. Organization will only slow you down if you rely on it."

"R-really? What am I going to do? Organization is my thing."

"Memorize the lesson?"

"But there's so much to memorize, I don't know if I can."

"Hehe."

"Why are you laughing?"

"You are so easy to mess with."

"What?"

"You can organize a little bit, it helps actually."

Just then, you felt a playful punch to your arm. "You jerk."

"The best. Here let me help you get set up."

"Thank you. So how you been?"

"Fine most of the time except for the constant prettyboy issues."

"Hehe, what an interesting development. When I called a friend here about the student teacher program, she repeatedly mentioned how there was this student teacher who was absolute man candy in her eyes."

"Who could've said that I wonder."

"Her name was Coco Pommel."

"Of course it was."

"Why do you know her?"

"Know her? She was the first person to hit on me when I joined up. Since then we've become really close friends."

"The way she described you though was thoroughly......inappropriate."

"She was first in that line."

"Hahaha, indeed she was. I meant however, after graduation."

"After? Well, I guess I did the same as you, went to 4 years of college right after. I've been here since pretty much the beginning of last year. What happened to you after college?"

"I.....experimented with a few different careers."

"Like?"

"Well first I was a doctor."

"How'd that go?"

"Let's just say the staff won't allow me near a stethoscope to this day."

"Oh....What else?"

"Next was a librarian."

"Sounds right up your alley."

"I got fired for being too organized."

"Since when does being too organized get you fired."

"Well first, I spent over four hours making sure the entire library was in order.....then things happened.

"Things?"

"Some kids messed up the organization of the books as a joke...I didn't...take it that way."

"Oh boy."

"I snapped quite frankly......things were said.....people were hurt."

"Now I feel bad for them."

"You're right to take their side. Every other career choice was like that as well, my obsession with organization and logic got me in trouble....alot. So I looked to the one thing where my organization could possibly do some good, teaching."

"Hope you'll be a good teacher."

"Hope?"

"Well students like a friendly face to teach. I always imagined you as very strict."

"S-strict? Not possible."

"Very possible. The last thing you'd want is for students to be having fun when work is the main priority. I've seen you study and you can get pretty serious about it."

"You may deem it serious, I consider it focused above all else."

"Focused sure." you said in a sarcastic tone. "Like that one time I caught you studying at lunch and when I tried to talk to you, you literally growled at me."

"I was having a bad day." You looked at her with an annoyed expression as she retreated behind her sleeves in embarrassment. "Ok fine, I do take it a bit seriously. That's only because I knowledge is my sole reason for living and you know it."

"Well yes we are both indeed insanely smart but I wouldn't consider it the sole reason of my life."

"Then what would that be."

"I guess it would be making people happy."'

Suddenly a blush came to her face as she nervously coughed. "So...any fun things happen in the last 5 years."

"Not that I can think of. I mean I had a few parties in college but nothing crazy."

"And I assume you had like 50 girlfriends during that time too."

"No actually, I may have experimented a little in college but the idea of a relationship never really came about." You did your best to hold a normal conversation knowing full well the encounter that occurred last night. You were eager to tell her, eager to have someone understand that you were basically a victim of rape, but reluctant to do so as she would most likely assume the exact opposite of what you wanted. "What about you? Someone had to admire that intellect."

"A few...turns out I was a bit too much for them though."

"I expected that, most of them can't dance with the moon if they can't outsmart her."

"Did you just use my name as a metaphor?"

"That doesn't upset you does it?"

"No, I kind of liked it actually."

"Yay, that's another win for me." you said as you let out chuckle.

"Another?"

"Yep, Now we're tied."

"I won more over you plenty of times."

"Last time I checked, we were had our equal share of wins."

"Oh really? Remember when you thought you knew the answer to that math question."

"Ok that was one time."

"Let's not forget when we bet on who could get a higher score in the pacer."

"I'll give you that one."

"Let's also not forget..."

"Alright fine, you got more than me ok."

She did a cute little dance even though it was to humiliate you. "Ha, I won this one."

"Haha, you're very immature, you know that?"

"It adds to my charm."

"Hey that's my line."

"Well i'm stealing it."

"Damn you for being so cute."

"I thank you for the compliment."

"I'm starving though. Wanna grab some breakfast?"

"Well, i still need to set up..." She was immediately interrupted by her growling stomach as you both smiled.

"I'm guess that's a yes?"

"Um....yes hehe."

After relocking your doors, you both made your way in the direction of the lunch room. Out of the corner of your eyes however, you swear you caught a small glance of blond hair around the corner next to your room. You were curious more than ever but assumed it was nothing, wanting nothing but to catch up with your former classmate.
