All Chapters of No Longer His Perfect Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ZARAJae didn't move.He just stood there beside the bed, staring at her. One of the machines was still beeping, but the sound was flat and wrong, like it had forgotten that there was supposed to be a person attached to it. The room smelled like disinfectant, and the air conditioner was freezing my arms, but neither of us seemed to notice."Jae, we need to go."He shook his head slowly. "She—she was just talking. Zara, she was just talking to us.""I know.""No, you don't understand. She was awake. The doctor said she was stable.""And now she's dead."He looked at me like I'd slapped him. I grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the door before he could argue. He stumbled after me, looking back at the bed one last time before I dragged him into the hallway. We didn't stop until we were outside.The night air hit my face, but I still couldn't breathe properly. I leaned against the car while Jae stood a few feet away, both hands buried in his hair."She was fine," he muttered. "She was

ZARAI didn't say anything to Selene. I picked up my drink, turned around, and walked away, hoping she'd understand that I wasn't interested in talking to her.She didn't."Zara."I kept walking."Zara, wait."I pretended I hadn't heard her and walked into the nearest store. I didn't even know what I wanted to look at anymore. I just needed her to stop following me.I moved through the first few aisles, picked up a handbag, looked at the price, and put it back. When I reached the next display, I glanced over my shoulder.Selene was still there.She hadn't even looked bothered by my ignoring her. She walked through the store at an easy pace, looking at things as though she'd come here with me on purpose.I turned back around and continued browsing.For the next few minutes, I tried to lose her.I moved from handbags to shoes, then to a rack of clothes near the back of the store. Every time I changed direction, Selene somehow appeared a few steps behind me. At first, I thought she was j

ZARA “And who did they say put on the petition?” My father fired rapidly. I could see that he was very angry and he looked like he was about to spit flames from his mouth as he picked up his phone. Jae also looked pissed. “ This is all the handwork of that wussy headmistress.” Jae snapped. “ Why was the previous headmistress taken out?” I asked. That was a question that none of us had asked until now, he turned to me and his eyebrows twitched as he snapped his fingers. “ That's true.”“ We aren't meant to be bothered by that. Are we?” My father asked. He moved to grab the phone again but I was faster, I snatched the phone away from his hands as I shook my head and said, “ No, dad.” “ Why?” He asked, he stared down at me with annoyance. Even Jae gave in, “ Just let him.” I turned to him with an eye roll as I said, “ Is that how easy you switch sides?” He shrugged, leaning back in the chair as his hands moved to the folds that had formed on his forehead. He messaged it slowly as

ZARA“I was already waiting,” the headmistress said from behind the door, stepping aside to let us in. I walked inside with Jae following closely behind me, and my eyes immediately landed on the thick petition sitting neatly on her desk. Seeing it there made my stomach twist because I knew this meeting was about to become serious.“Please, have a seat,” the headmistress instructed, gesturing toward the chairs in front of her. I nodded politely and sat down, while Jae took the seat beside me. She picked up the petition, opened it slowly, and looked through the pages before finally raising her eyes toward me.“Zara, do you know why you are here?” she asked, her voice serious but calm. I nodded slightly, looking at the papers in her hands. “Because of the petition, ma, but I honestly don't understand what is going on or why I am being accused,” I answered, trying to keep the confusion out of my voice.The headmistress studied me for a moment before asking, “Why would you bully another st

ZARA'S POV“Zara, you are being suspended for two months.”For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. I stared at the headmistress, hoping she would take back those words, but she simply gathered her papers while the people around me continued whispering. Two months. Just like that, everything had changed.“Please, Ma,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Can we please discuss this again?” I didn't know what else to say. My eyes moved around the room, searching for someone who would understand, but nobody seemed willing to meet my gaze.“The decision has been made,” the headmistress replied coldly. “You are expected to leave the premises immediately.” She turned toward the council members, dismissing me as though I were no longer part of the conversation.I swallowed painfully, fighting the tears threatening to fall. I had never imagined standing in front of so many people and feeling this helpless. The whispers grew louder, and I wished the floor would open beneath my feet.Jae stepped for
