MY LIFE RIGHT NOW PART TWO

CHAPTER FOUR

UNPAID INVESTIGATORS—

LUNA’S POV-

You know what I find funny?

People who somehow know your life better than you.

Like—

Excuse me?

When exactly did you become a detective?

Because somehow—

The moment people hear one tiny thing—

Suddenly they become investigators.

Unpaid investigators.

And unfortunately for me?

I had become the latest topic.

Again.

Honestly?

At this point, I deserved money for all the drama my life carried 😐

It all started after the Jake situation.

And trust me—

I genuinely thought it ended there.

Closure.

Boundaries.

Finished.

Done.

Back to peace.

Or at least—

That’s what I thought.

Because tell me why—

The next day—

Everybody suddenly became interested in my relationship.

Actually obsessed.

And honestly?

It irritated me badly.

Because why is my business your assignment??

The first sign that something was wrong?

My phone.

Too many notifications.

Actually too many.

DMs.

Missed messages.

Weird replies.

Even random people reacting to my posts.

And immediately—

I knew.

Something happened.

Bad.

Very bad.

Then Amelia texted.

Amelia 💀:

“Please tell me you’re alive.”

Pause.

What kind of message is this?? 😭

Me:

“Why?”

Seen immediately.

Then—

Amelia 💀:

“Because people are talking.”

Oh brother.

Here we go again 😐

Because somehow—

Whenever Amelia says people are talking—

Peace disappears.

Immediately.

I called her.

“Amelia, what happened?”

She sighed dramatically.

“Luna…”

That pause?

Scary.

Very scary.

“What happened?”

Then she said—

“Apparently, people think you and Jake are back together.”

Silence.

Real silence.

Because excuse me??

WHAT??

I almost laughed.

Actually laughed.

Because there is absolutely no way 😭

“Who said that nonsense?”

“People.”

Oh wow.

Helpful.

Very helpful 😐

“What people?”

“You know my school.”

And unfortunately?

I did.

Drama headquarters.

Information spreads there faster than exam malpractice rumors.

One person says something—

Suddenly the whole school becomes CNN.

Actually insane.

“But how?” I asked.

“Apparently somebody saw you.”

Pause.

Saw me?

Doing what exactly??

Breathing??

“Doing what?”

“You know… with Jake.”

Oh my goodness 😐

Suddenly—

Everything clicked.

The meeting.

Closure.

Wow.

One tiny meeting and suddenly—

Relationship analysts everywhere.

Amazing.

N: The thing about rumors?

Nobody asks for facts.

They just collect tiny information—

Then create a Netflix series.

LUNA’S POV-

And trust me—

It got worse.

Fast.

Very fast.

Because somehow—

People started creating stories.

Different versions.

Actually creative versions 😭

Apparently—

Jake and I had been secretly talking.

Apparently—

I still loved him.

Apparently—

Me and Trent were “having issues.”

Apparently—

I was “confused between two guys.”

Excuse me???

Confused where?? 😭

At this point—

People were just freelancing lies.

And honestly?

I tried ignoring it.

Because one thing I learned?

People always talk.

Today it’s you.

Tomorrow it’s someone else.

But somehow—

Ignoring it became difficult.

Because suddenly—

People started asking weird questions.

Random DMs.

Random messages.

People I barely even spoke to.

“Are you still with Trent?”

“I heard Jake came back.”

“Who do you actually want?”

Sir???

Madam???

Mind your business 😐

Honestly—

Why do people enjoy drama this much?

Especially drama that doesn’t concern them Okayyy 😭 I forgot Trent already knows. Let’s change it from “Trent finding out” and continue it better.

But trust life—

To somehow make things worse.

Because apparently—

People weren’t done with their investigations.

Unpaid investigators 😐

The next day—

I got to school already irritated.

Because honestly?

I was tired.

Tired of whispers.

Tired of weird looks.

Tired of people acting like my life was their final year project.

And somehow—

The moment I entered school—

I already knew something was off.

Too many people looking.

Too many whispers.

Too much staring.

Like excuse me??

Did I miss something??

Then Oliver walked up to me.

Fast.

Too fast.

And immediately—

I knew.

Drama.

“What happened?” I sighed.

She looked annoyed.

“People are talking again.”

Oh my goodness.

Again??

Can everybody rest 😭

“Talking about what now?”

She hesitated.

And somehow—

That scared me more.

Then—

“Apparently someone said Jake is trying to get you back.”

Pause.

Excuse me?

Trying to get me back where exactly?? 😐

I almost laughed.

Actually laughed.

Because people were genuinely creating cinema.

“Who even said that?”

Oliver sighed.

“Apparently somebody saw you guys talking.”

Talking.

TALKING.

And suddenly—

Relationship analysts everywhere 😭

Amazing.

Fantastic.

At this point—

My school needed hobbies.

Real hobbies.

Then Vixys entered the conversation already annoyed.

“They’re even saying Trent should ‘be careful.’”

Pause.

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT??

Me??

The same me that literally rejected Jake??

Actually insane 😭

I rolled my eyes immediately.

“People need jobs.”

Badly.

Because honestly—

How are people more invested in my relationship than their own studies??

No seriously.

Explain.

Later that afternoon—

Things somehow got more annoying.

Because random girls started asking weird questions.

“Are you and Trent still together?”

“I heard Jake came back.”

“Who do you actually like?”

Excuse me??

What kind of interview is this 😐

And honestly?

That irritated me badly.

Because one thing about me?

If you have something to say—

Say it properly.

Don’t ask weird questions and act innocent.

Then somehow—

I got a text from Trent.

Trent ❤️:

“How’s school?”

And immediately—

My mood softened.

Because honestly?

That boy somehow knew how to calm me down.

Me:

“Stressful 😭”

Seen immediately.

Trent ❤️:

“Again?”

Me:

“Your fans are jobless.”

Pause.

Then—

Trent ❤️:

“LMAOO what happened now?”

And honestly?

I laughed.

Because somehow—

He always made bad situations feel lighter.

But little did I know—

Someone else was about to make things worse.

Again.

And trust me—

This time?

I was actual curious

But little did I know—

Someone else was about to make things worse.

Again.

And trust me—

This time?

I was actually irritated.

Because tell me why—

While I was literally trying to survive school peacefully—

My phone buzzed.

I checked.

And immediately frowned.

Jake.

Again???

Sir—

Please rest 😐

I opened the message.

Big mistake.

Jake:

“People are talking already anyway.”

Pause.

Excuse me??

What does that even mean?

Then another message came.

Jake:

“Guess I messed up for real.”

Oh wow.

Congratulations for realizing late 😭

I sighed and locked my phone.

Because honestly?

What exactly did he want me to say?

“Welcome back”?

No thank you.

Then Oliver looked over.

“What happened?”

I turned my phone.

She blinked.

“Oh.”

Exactly.

OH.

Vixys looked too.

And trust me—

Her reaction?

Immediate irritation.

“Why is he still texting you?”

THANK YOU 😭

Because honestly—

I wanted to know too.

“Apparently he suddenly regrets life,” I said sarcastically.

Oliver laughed.

“Men always realize late.”

Actually 😐

Very late.

Then somehow—

Things got more annoying.

Because during break—

A random girl came up to me.

Smiling too much.

Which already scared me 😭

“So…”

Pause.

Why do people always start drama conversations with so 😐

“You and Jake?”

Excuse me??

“What about me and Jake?”

“I heard he wants you back.”

Oh my goodness.

Actually no way.

Because how is this even spreading??

“We’re not together,” I said immediately.

“Oh…”

That oh?

Yeah.

She definitely wanted gist 😭

Then she asked—

“But are you and Trent still together?”

At this point—

Was I in an interview??

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

Another OH 😐

Then she walked away.

And somehow—

That irritated me more.

Because honestly?

Why are people so invested??

Like—

Don’t you people have assignments??

Homework??

Anything?? 😭

Then Amelia texted.

Amelia 💀:

“Bad news.”

Immediately—

No.

I hate those words.

Me:

“What now?”

Seen immediately.

Then—

Amelia 💀:

“People are saying Jake wants you back and Trent is gonna leave you.”

Silence.

Actual silence.

Because wow.

People were freelancing stories now 😐

I nearly laughed.

Actually laughed.

Because imagine random people predicting my relationship like football scores 😭

Then my phone buzzed again.

Trent ❤️:

“How’s school?”

And immediately—

My mood softened.

Because somehow—

That boy always calmed me down.

Me:

“Stressful 😭”

Seen immediately.

Trent ❤️:

“Again??”

Me:

“Apparently my relationship is public property.”

He replied almost instantly—

Trent ❤️:

“LMAOO who’s stressing my girl?”

And honestly?

That made me smile.

Because after all the drama—

At least one thing still felt safe.

But somehow—

I had a feeling.

And honestly?

I hate when my feelings are right.

Because the rumors?

They were only getting worse.
