she didn’t realise who the hand belonged to before it was too late , she’d already made eye contact . “ oh, uh - , ” she spoke in shock , snapping her hand back from the book as though it were a red hot poker . this was precisely why lu was served so poorly by her tendency to daydream , to drift softly from the reality surrounding her . the grand library was quiet this time of the day , most other students were having lunch or simply still asleep , and she was browsing particularly obscure pieces of fiction on a neglected row of shelves . it was unsurprising , however , that the hand that reached out for precisely the same book , at precisely the same time as luna , belonged to none other than caleb gardner . somehow , it was always the library in which they found themselves meeting . “ sorry . ” she muttered , refusing to meet his gaze . “ i — uh . you go for it . ” as she spoke , luna took a demonstrative step back . it was probably safer to leave distance between herself and the boy .

     “ i know but━ “ he paused , knowing there was no way he could win this argument . “ fine , but only if i pay the next time. “ he said with a soft chuckle leaving his lips . money wasn’t the issue here , both were in kingshill thanks to their families which only meant that money was something both had plenty of , but it was more of an appreciation situation , she had done so much for him , probably more than his family has ever done , which is why he wanted to thank her in way , his own very weird way. “ i’ve never met him actually . “ cliff stated , he wasn’t really one to spend time near the library , which is why the place wasn’t well known by him , but at least he had heard of it . “ now i definitely have to meet him .“

a soft smile blossomed across her lips . “ you’ve got yourself a deal . next time . ” that was something lu could agree to without any fuss . despite being her opposite in almost every way , clifford was also a very dear friend . and , okay , she also liked to keep a close eye on him to make sure he wasn’t getting into TOO much trouble . “ he’s ... certainly eccentric . although , who am i to talk ? ” a giggle escaped her lips as she shook her head gently , self-aware enough to recognise that she was prone to strange habits and fascinations . as an only-child , and a lonely one at that , luna had passed much of her time preoccupied by obscure historical events or scientific theories . any subject , really , that had an encyclopaedic entry or a book written on it . these days , she often found herself lost in a wikipedia wormhole for hours on end , only surfacing when one of her sorority sisters pulled her away . “ how have you been , cliff ? how was your summer ? ” she asked , linking arms cheerfully with the boy as she started in the direction of the quirky café .

    it really was her lucky day , considering cliff rarely has his school supplies near him , in fact he even made a tiny effort to go to class , he stayed twenty minutes , but that’s not the point . “ to solve a what? hodge━ never mind ” he said as he tried to process what the girl had just said , but even as hard as he tried , the numerous times he skipped his classes just showed he had no clue what luna was talking about . “ coffee sounds nice . ” he said with a soft smile appearing on his face . ” my treat though , i can’t let you pay for me , right ?”

“ that’s not really how saying thank you works , clifford . ” a fond smile tweaked up the corners of her mouth . “ i’m paying . no arguing , please . ” she gave a delicate wave of her fingers , as though to signal she simply wouldn’t hear any more of it . money was no object for either individual , and yet it was still important to luna that she be the one to buy the coffee . he had helped her out , majorly , and for that she owed him her gratitude. “ how about that little place just past the main library ? you know , with the slightly strange but very nice owner. ” lu liked to think of herself as something of a coffee-shop connoisseur , considering she often studied in them when it felt as though the walls of the library were slowly closing in on her .

    a laugh was quick to escape cliff’s lips . it was not every day that you see a person so eager to write down an equation. “ i mean i probably have one . ” he said as he started searching through his backpack ,which wasn’t really a hard task considering she was half empty , but within seconds he managed to find a pen. “ yep, here you go. ” he said as he gave her the desired item. “ you’re probably the only person i know , that would panic over an equation .” he replied  , though she really was the only one , most of his friends probably didn’t even know what an equation was, so it was safe to say she was the smartest of the bunch “ guess i’m a lifesaver then huh ? ”

“ brilliant , thank you ! ” she exclaimed , eagerly taking the pen from his hand. despite the worry clifford often caused her , at the end of the day , she knew she could always count on him . “ it’s not JUST an equation . it’s part of an attempt to solve the hodge conjecture . a crappy attempt , but an attempt none the less. ” she carefully wrote the equation down on the back of an old , crumpled receipt she’d located in her pocket , a relieved smile curving up the corners of her mouth . tucking the receipt back into her jumper , she held the pen out toward clifford . “ a lifesaver. ” she agreed with no hint of sarcasm or exaggeration . “ let me buy you a coffee , or something , to say thanks ? ”

it wasn’t until lu had collided with the boy that recognition flushed her features , having been too lost in determined thought prior to the unexpected impact to notice his presence . “ cliff , hi ! ” she exclaimed , struggling to catch her breath . “ i - do you possibly have a pen i could borrow ? ” she asked , bright eyes hopefully flitting over her friend as though the writing instrument would magically materialise . “ it’s just , i REALLY need to write this equation down and , stupid me , i don’t have a pen. ” the words were delivered at approximately four times the acceptable speed for a sane person to talk , leaving the girl breathless once again . she simply refused to let yet another perfectly good theorem slip through her fingers , certainly not like that time a few months back when she’d been too slow getting out of the shower and it had disappeared from her thoughts like a particularly mocking magician . 

    cliff was raised in a family where achievements meant way more than showing love and affection towards your child . it was evident to him , and probably everyone around him , who was the favorite child of the reyes family. and even thought his brother wasn’t his father’s child it still seemed like they preferred him over clifford . which is why it was nice from time to time to spend time with someone who cared just like luna . there was something about her , she was genuine and nothing like the people he would usually spend his time with , but maybe that’s why he liked hanging out with her , it was a nice change for him. “ well hello to you too. ” he said as a grin appeared on his face . “ if i didn’t know you better  i would think you were trying to ignore me. what’s the rush ?”

her mouth had fallen open approximately fourteen sentences ago , when sienna had first started describing this unhinged whirlwind of an adventure . it was only now that luna gathered herself enough to close it , although her widened eyes gave away every last inch of her incredulity . she’d always been an open book , but sienna was granted an usual degree of access . “ bungee jumping ... in our underwear . ” she repeated slowly , as though to make certain she’d heard this insane scheme correctly . but , alas , she had heard it with perfect clarity . “ i don’t know if i want to experience ... THAT . ” both girls were quite aware that they would take a bullet for the other , just like luna was quite certain she would eventually be worn down & left with no choice but to agree to the ludicrous proposal . “ i — how did you even come up with that idea , si ? i mean , it’s definitely interesting but , well , it’s also ... rather unusual . ” tactful as ever , she was careful not to criticise it outright . 

     “ okay , i know perfectly well you’ll shut me down .. BUT , hear me out .. “ sienna throws her open palms into the air , as to motion for the other one to stop searching for the logical part in sienna’s words . maybe because it’s never there to begin with or because the brunette just wanted her soulmate to stop for a second and let herself be  f r e e  . either way – sienna was determined to get her point across . “ if it’s warm enough , it will be perfect . think about it .. bungee jumping in your underwear is the closest experience to your birth you could ever get . “ she stressed , palms moving to clasp together . “ it’s perfect , lu – it’s going to be  a m a z i n g ! “ sienna almost whines out . having ideas that were questionable was somewhat of a specialty for the van kirk heiress . “ i promise i’ll do my research . no one is losing their panties , lu . you have to do that with me ! “

“ mads ! ” a smile blossomed across her lips , spring flowers yawning into life following a sleepy winter . “ yes ! in fact , i might even be more excited than you . i haven’t been able to sleep for like , a week . ” luna was more than aware how ridiculous that sounded , but she was an only child and her sorority sisters had long-since become a surrogate family to her . “ but whilst i absolutely want to hear ALL your ideas for zeta , first , i want to hear about you . how have you been ? how was your summer ? i want every last detail . ”

          ❝  Hᴇʀᴇ’s ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ sᴛᴀʀᴛ of another wonderful  year .  ❞     maddie greeted the other with a wide smile .     ❝   are you as excited for what zeta has in store for this year as i am ?  ❞

the girl wasn’t certain how she’d ended up trapped , listening to d.c. rejoice about his classes . of course — lu was genuinely pleased his schedule had shaped up so nicely , but had she stumbled into a strange , alternate universe in which everything was plain sailing between them ? they didn’t make small talk like this anymore . so deep in perplexed thought , his question caught luna off-guard . “ pardon me ? ” her response came instinctively , accompanied by rapid , confused blinks . “ oh — schedule . gosh . uh , well . ” a tiny line appeared between her eyebrows , “ it looks ... good , i suppose . unfortunately i have both friday and evening classes , but i rather set myself up for that . ” her shoulders quirked jerkily upward in a shrug which was intended to appear nonchalant , but likely had quite the opposite impact . 

STARTER : open.

          “ HONESTLY, YEAH, 8AM’S SUCK but at least i’m done by 1pm every day. and no class on friday ? it’s shaping up to be an amazing semester, ” d.c. grinned. he’d lucked out that none of his required classes were in the late afternoon. “ what about you ? what’s your schedule look like ? ”

                                            ... wait , SHUT UP ! luna is walking by . 

       look at her , not only is she a heir of the bianchi-vega’s but she got into zeta nu theta as vice-president . 

hi ! i’m sof ( she / her ) and i’m super excited to be here . this is a bit of a mess , i apologise in advance . i’d love to plot with you all so pls like this or hmu !

full name :  luna chiara bianchi-vega nickname(s) : lu , lulu , lala , tunes age :  twenty - one     dob :  august 12 place  of  birth :  rome , italy origins : cosenza , italy & buenos aires , argentina  languages  spoken :  english , italian , spanish , french ,  ( swiss ) german , ( conversational ) russian

sexuality: heterosexual

born to an italian father & argentine-italian mother and cosseted by her parents from the day one

her papa is a b i g time mob boss ... lots of $$$ but obviously not the safest occupation in the world

luna had a very lonely childhood because her father was ( and still is ) a deeply paranoid man . she spent most her time ensconced in the safety her family’s sprawling renaissance villa in central rome

her best friend growing up was classical music !! y’all i swear , there’s nothing this girl can’t tell you about it

moved a lot from the age of about twelve ( unsurprisingly , due to safety concerns ) bounced around from luxury penthouse , to exclusive boarding school , to distant relative

loves her parents and family with every fibre of her being , but they’re willing to force her hand when necessary to protect the ‘ business ’ 

she desperately wants to live up to their expectations and prove herself to be ‘ worthy ’ whatever that actually means 

honestly , in general luna gives a lot of herself to ppl and sometimes she doesn’t really know who she actually is anymore because of it

very human ! she’s scared of the dark and doesn’t like crossing busy roads alone and cares a lot about what people think of her even though she tries not to

absolutely craves validation ( probs her biggest weakness , it makes her do things she definitely wouldn’t otherwise )

if you say anything remotely negative to , her she’ll probably think about it for months afterwards & overanalyse the entire conversation

she can be a little reticent about what she’s really thinking . she absolutely hates burdening other people and would rather try to deal with things alone

probably a little too tough on herself , has a heck of a lot of criticism within her own head

somehow she’s still a bit of a girl next door ??

like … you’d want to take her home to your momma. she bakes really good treats and makes yummy lemonade and always let’s you know if you left your car window rolled down or a light on

big angel energy

an absolutely huge heart !! she genuinely wants to make a positive difference & she’s just a bit of a sweetie in general

almost always working on a new philanthropic endeavour

she’s S M A R T smart, loves mathematics especially and is currently pursing a degree in it . invariably can be found in the library at odd hours of the day

loves her sorority and her sisters with her whole heart . they’re her favourite ppl and she feels very blessed to have them in her life 

head canons :

goes by a variety of nicknames with family / friends and loves using nicknames for everyone she knows , too

most used emojis are the gold heart , the baby angel , and the puppy dog / pleading eyes

comes from a family deeply committed to the catholic faith ( ha ha some nice irony ) luna isn’t convinced by any of it but she does go to church every sunday because she’s a good girl™

plays four instruments ( violin , piano , cello , and harp ) and attended pre-college at juilliard

a stress baker . you’ll know her level of anxiety by how many hampers of cupcakes , cookies , brownies etc . end up on your doorstep

she loves vintage cars and has a massive collection , however she’s an objectively t e r r i b l e driver lol

here’s her pinterest ! 

wanted connections :

these are very bad and vague so sorry about that in advance 

luna’s first love . i don’t really have an exact idea for this so could have ended on good terms, bad terms, somewhere in between

just exes more generally !

best friend/s !! a lil gang would be v cute honestly :)

a bad influence ?? idk someone who takes advantage of lu’s kindness or is maybe just always pulling her into sticky situations

study buddies . maybe they sat next to each other freshman year or even just kept seeing each other in the library and bonded over how awful school work was lmao

hear me out … someone who’s using her for physical intimacy , but she thinks it could something more . she tends to fall hard & fast and really just craves validation so this could be angsty 

this is overdone but someone lu is a good influence on ! maybe she wants to help / ‘ fix ’ them somehow idk

honestly anything ?? i’m so so so bad at thinking of connections rip

In the end, always laugh. And do not lose this strange habit of having faith in life.
