Kaden's Luna

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven - Horrid Henry

Kaden drops me home that afternoon and I walk into the house after waving goodbye. Locking the door, I rest my back against the hard wood and sigh in relief. A few seconds pass before I let out a happy, excited squeal as I dance on the spot.

"I assume you had a good time?"

I shriek, jumping out of my skin before glaring at Eva who is cackling like a maniac. "Evangeline!"

"I told you never to use my full name." She snaps in mock anger before grabbing my hand and leading me to the couch.

"Tell me what's got you so excited." She asks as I place my bag on the coffee table.

"Um...Kaden asked me out." I mumble shyly, playing with the hem of my shirt.

"Oh my god, when?!"

I frown at her in confusion. "Just there when -"

"No, you idiot! I meant when is the date?" She interrupts, her green eyes sparkling in excitement.

"Oh, it's on Friday. He said he'll pick me up at three."

"We need to decide on an outfit." She states, beginning to get up from the couch.

"No! It's the day after tomorrow, we have plenty of time." I pull her back down before taking off my shoes and tucking my feet underneath. "How was your date with Maddox?"

A bright blush graces her cheeks and I squeal in excitement, shaking her arm. She shoves me lightly, muttering for me to "shut up," and that "it wasn't like that."

She tells me that they just went out to the café for food and what she had, stating that she wasn't a fan of the cappuccino she decided to try out. Then she rambled on about how Maddox paid for their meals when she went to the bathroom and how it was sweet but annoying at the same time.

"Why do you find that annoying?" I ask, resting my cheek on my hand.

"Because..." She trails off, her words coming out in a quiet mumble when she spoke again. "It's not like we were on a date or anything."

"Would you want to go on a date with him?" I ask, trying to stifle the smile threatening to bloom on my lips.

She shrugs half-heartedly, avoiding my gaze as she picks on the end of her sweater. "Maybe..."

I squeal excitedly, tackling her into a hug. She cries out as she loses her balance and falls backwards, taking me with her. We both stare at each other before bursting into a fit of laughter. I sit back up and pull her up, fixing the cardigan that had slipped of my shoulder.

"I'm so happy for you." I smile widely, thinking of how excited Maddox will be when she agrees to go on a date.

"Oh shut it, it's not like he likes me too or will ask me out anytime soon." She rolls her eyes, shoving me lightly,

"Hmm, you never know." I sing, standing up and making my way upstairs.

"Wait, what's that supposed to mean?! Luna Winters get back here right now!" She yells, making me laugh as I run to my bedroom and lock the door before she can catch up to me.

Maddox comes home around three and mumbles out a greeting when he meets me in the kitchen. I greet him in return before adding the noodles in the stir fry that I am cooking. When I look at him, he looks down and I decide to ask him what's wrong.
