Chasing his Luna back

Take care of yourself

Aaron

“What are you staring at?”

“No… I… there’s nothing” I replied, still staring at the disappearing car and dad took me inside. We walked inside with a lot of eyes on us.

Several ladies gawked at us as we walked into the mall, I began picking out my clothes with an attendant following to take what I got.

I looked back at the small pile and took a box and decided it was enough. I got my favorite skin care products then a big box and some boots before we went to the counter where dad paid for everything with his credit card and handed a new phone to me as we walked out while the attendant put my things in the trunk.

We entered the car without uttering any words, there were words but how to speak them was the problem. “Son, be careful with whatever you’re doing… This is the human world, flings are acceptable but don’t go overboard, if you start feeling anything for any human come back to the human world… We can’t be with humans, we can live with them but being together is creating a hybrid, there’s no telling what we can create,” He advised and I nodded.

“Your course is for three years and you’ll start acting for big industries, take care of yourself and don’t forget your promise to always visit. Your mom is very worried about you, anything that happens, come home fast okay…” Dad urged as he drove into the Drama school.

My mouth was agape as I stared at the large building, a lot of people were walking around, their dressing was unique and mere staring you could tell who the next model and actor would be.

I felt my heart race with excitement, I was about to embark on a journey, I was building my career. It’s my performance in this school that’ll determine whether I’ll be what I wanna be or whether I’ll have to return to the wolf world even though there’s something waiting for me there.

Dad stopped and asked for directions to the dormitory before speeding off. We reached a place where cars couldn’t go further and we alighted.

“Don’t forget all I told you, take care of yourself son and never forget we love you… I’ll still be searching for Amanda so you don’t necessarily have to stress yourself” Dad muttered and I nodded.

I brought out my things and placed them on the road while dad passed a file to me. “These are your files, your room number is here and your schedule is written, in case what you need isn’t there, come home. I’ll be taking your old phone back, I’ll visit with your mom next month because she would be curious to see this place… Protect yourself please” Dad muttered and I hugged him tightly before I bade farewell and walked down the road with my box where my clothes and other things were.

I waved at dad who was still waiting and waving… I had worked down the road and couldn’t see him clearly before he entered his car and drove out.

Everywhere was brightly lit and I used a small map on my phone to head forward, staring at the buildings to read the names.

I walked inside the gate that seemed like the main dormitory and I felt a lot of eyes fall on me as I began to hear several murmurs.

“Gosh he’s so hot!”

“A natural-born model!”

“Look at those legs… I can die for them!”

“And that slender waist… It’ll be a shame not to wrap my legs around his waist. He’s soo hot… I bet he’ll be very huge down there…”

My head was filled with all sorts of words and I was startled at first. I only glanced around, wondering what I was supposed to say to the struck ladies.

I wanted to ask about my hostel but it seemed like they were all busy taking in my handsomeness. Seems like I’ll be having a major problem in this academy.

“Hello, sorry, I’m searching for Anchovy Hostel” I muttered, moving forward to three girls and their eyes widened as they gasped, covering their mouths.

“Me?” One whispered with a shaky voice, pointing at herself and I was taken aback. The excitement, surprise and broad smiles made it seem like I had just proposed.

I raised my head to stare around and it was then I noticed everyone had gone quiet and they were staring at those girls enviously. They were all straining their ears and trying to know what I was saying.

“I’m trying to get to Anchovy Hostel” I repeated and they nodded, standing up at once.

“It’s on the other side, this is the female area… I’ll take you there” The first lady suggested and the other two refused.

“No! Why should you take him when I can take him there?”

“He was talking to me, both of you should stop arguing!” I stepped backwards, confused at home it all got messy in a matter of seconds.

“Why do you think he was talking to you?”

“I should be the one to take him! He was facing me!”

“He is mine! You both have boyfriends already!” The three girls began to argue and I rolled my eyes, wondering what having boyfriends had to do with me getting to my hostel as it was getting late already.

“Please just give me the directions, I’ll find my way” I suggested and the girls calmed down. One began explaining only for the others to keep interrupting with their own descriptions and after five minutes, I managed to grab something out of their blabbering.

“Thanks, I can find my way…” I bade as I walked away, pleased that I could get away from the noisy area. I could see disappointment written all over the faces of the other girls and it made me walk even faster. I wanted to get away as fast as possible.

I followed their directions and sighed with relief when I saw my hostel name boldly written from afar. I wanted to cry for joy as every lady I had passed by was gawking.

I checked for my number and entered the hostel, ignoring the looks I got from some guys. I saw some violent faces but didn’t pay attention, I was stressed and all I wanted to do was sleep.

I found my room after some minutes of searching and opened the door, ready to embrace life only for me to see a guy sitting on one bed while another was on top.

I looked around the small room, wondering if it was enough for breathing not to talk about arranging things. “Are you my roommate? Welcome! I’m James! It’s soo good to finally have a roommate. I’ll help you set your things” James, my roommate, had a lot of energy and he seemed excited for some unknown reason.

I just stared at him with horror, wondering if this was the drama academy I said I wanted to attend. “Come in, stop standing outside” He urged as he pushed me in gently before placing my book beside the wall.

“I’m sorry I had to take the lower bed since I was the first but we can still swap positions though. What’s your name?” He questioned.

“Aaron” I muttered, still in shock and his phone beeped. He picked it up, stared at something which made his eyes widen before staring at me. He stared at and returned his gaze to his phone and I began to wonder what was wrong.

“Are you this Aaron?” He demanded, showing me his phone and behold, pictures of my back and far distance pictures flooded the group with a lot of tacky comments.

“Damn! You’re famous on your first day. Do you know what it means?” James demanded with excitement and I shook my head.

“It’s for the best! Fame! You’re famous without doing anything… it’ll be easy to start acting if you maintain this fame… You can do anything!” He explained with excitement and I remembered Amanda.

“Anything? Even find a person?” I requested and he nodded.

“Easy as hell!” He retorted and I smiled. Maybe this early popularity wasn’t a bad idea… It seems like the moon goddess is willing to help me find Amanda. I’ll use this chance to find her.
