Chapter 21: Meeting Princess Catherine

[Luna]

It's already late at night but I'm still wide awake. I got up from my bed and decided to walk outside the dorm even though it was a bit dark. Only a few streetlights illuminate the pathway, but some area is still dark.

My feet subconsciously brought me to the garden. I sat under a tree and leaned on it while looking at the moonlight with a serene smile.

Whenever I look up at the moon, it makes me calm and at ease. It's like my grandmother is always watching me.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" a voice echoed in the silent night. Her sudden appearance surprised me a little. A girl is lying on the grass, hands both under her head while also looking up at the moon. Why didn't I notice her? Perhaps I’m lost in my train of thoughts.

"Yeah..." I uttered with a smile. She got up and approached me.

"Are you new here? I didn't see you before," she said and sat down next to me, then stared at my face. I felt conscious of the way she stares at me.

"Yep, I just got here today," I answered.
