Luna almost passed by Gallatin. Luckily she noticed him out of the corner of her eye and turned to face him. For some reason he stood with his arms open, Luna didn't understand but nearly put her hand in the air and for the third time today. "Hi." she said in her cheerful voice.
"Hey, why have you been running from me? You didn't respond the first or second time. Did I do something to you?" Luna asked curious as to why he had been avoiding her, she had no idea who he was so she didn't think she did anything to him. "If I did do something I'm sorry, my boyfriend always calls me a klutz and I can't normally think, or have a good thought process but hey that's all part of my charm." Luna added quickly after with a small laugh.

Hmm. So this girl was going for a friendly approach huh? Weird way to start off since it was the exact thing the last one did, but maybe they were feeling unoriginal today or simply forgot. Either way, Gallatin simply nodded to her. He wasn't going to give this girl the satisfaction of having him completely fall for the trick by "casually conversing".
He waited for her to whip out a balloon, or invite him to go to a diner or something similar; maybe they wanted to get him to stay after school this time for his abuse. At this point, he didn't care. All Gallatin wanted was for this stupid school day to be over.
The instructor noticed Gallatin had stopped his rounds around the track, and proceeded to begin yelling at him. "HEY MONADO! GET YOUR ASS BACK ON THE TRACK AND STOP CHATTING UP THAT GIRL!" He walked over and promptly kicked Gallatin in the backside, sending him stumbling forward before Gallatin transitioned into a jog back onto the direction of the other boys. "WE BOTH KNOW YOU AIN'T GOT A CHANCE IN HELL SO CUT YUR LOSSES WHILE YOUR NOT AHEAD AND SAVE THE LITTLE DIGNITY YOU DELUDE YOURSELF INTO HAVING!" Of course this instructor in particular hated Gallatin's guts also, but that was mostly because of how poorly he had always performed in this class. Being based on physical prowess, combined with his circumstance, Gallatin wasn't going to ever do well in it.
Eventually the bell rung once more, signaling the end of the period. Gallatin hurried off to change his clothes in the bathroom so that he could get to his last class of the day and go home. He'd probably play video games, cry a little maybe, possibly even blow up one of the girls' cars out of spite. At the very least, he just wanted the peace and quiet of being away from the judgmental eyes of his cruel peers.

Luna got no response from that at all, and honestly she was a bit peeved at this person for that exact reason. She asked if she had done something, said sorry and was still sure she hadnt done anything. It started to get annoying the way this guy was completely acting like such a jerk for no reason.
Eventually some guy separated them, rudly but Luna still had no idea what she was doing, plus those girls were just sitting there doing nothing so why couldn't he do the same? If Luna knew better she would message the school about this. This was wrong even in her eyes. "Freaking. Ughh come on." Luna said as he once again ducked out of the classroom.
This time Luna didn't wait. She kicked down the door to the boys room, though it was open. She didn't care this time and no one was around so meh. "Hey! I have a question for you." Luna said knowing he was in there. Since no one else was. "What's your problem. All I've said was hi to you and you treat me like I did something. I don't like that. How would you feel if you tried to talk to someone you just met and all they did was ignore you and run away from you huh? People don't like to be treated like outcasts you know." Luna said sounding mad and a little hurt, she just wanted to make a friend that wasn't staring at him. What was so hard about that?

Gallatin's eyes widened in shock as the girl from earlier literally kicked the door to the boy's locker-room/bathroom in and entered it screaming at him. Dang it. What was with her, she was acting as if he was the one being a jerk when she was the one trying to emotionally break him and humiliate him! What gave her the right to not only treat him badly, but try to make him feel bad about it when he didn't cooperate!?
Nevertheless though, as Gallatin was in the middle of putting on his pants when the girl had barged in; this left him in a very vulnerable situation indeed. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" He yelled out as he quickly brought his pants up. If these people wanted a reaction then they had certainly succeeded. "It's bad enough you people are wrecking my life! Can't you leave me alone for one day!? What did I ever do to you people do deserve this huh?!"
"Oh so you finally snapped huh?" It was at this point that ShadowGallatin had decided to return from whatever he had been doing. "Time to knock some teenage heads? Wait-no... Is it just me or did that sound dirty?"
However, Gallatin was too enraged at this point to even acknowledge his dark counterpart. He continued on screaming at the intruding girl while stepping closer to her. "How many times are you all going to keep messing with me huh? Because I am honestly getting sick and tired of it! So you all wanted a reaction, WELL HERE I AM! IM REACTING!!!" He waved his arms in the air in anger before finally settling down.
Gallatin took a deep breath before putting on a shirt. "What do I need to do before you leave me alone? I don't care what it is: paint balloons, bucket of water, stealing my clothes. Just do it already so I can go to class and go home."

Luna calmly listened to everything he just said, she stared at him as he looked at her before telling her all these things. Luna took in a nice deep breath before screaming at the top of her lungs. "I JUST FREAKING MET YOU!!!" she shouted close range at the teen before grabbing him by his shoulders. "I just came here, I just said hi. All I've done was try and talk to you, all I've done."
Luna then shook him a little. "If you wanted me to leave you alone you should of. Oh I dunno after I said hi say. 'hey, sorry dont wanna talk right now.' and I would of left you the hell alone. Now all you've been doing is making me worried I did something to upset someone, upset you." Luna said noticing she was weirdly in a position to block anything coming at him.
"But no now I find out the whole reason behind this is because you just assumed I was trying to do something, you just assumed that i was going to be rude. Why the heck did you do that? Assuming makes a ass out of u and me!! Do you just assume everyone around you hates you? Cause I don't. All I wanted to do was talk to the one person not looking at me with contempt in their eyes or have them buldging. But no, apparently just wanting to talk to someone means I want to hurt them!." well Luna snapped.

Once again Gallatin froze at this girls comments. Wait, she wasn't lying was she??? No way, this had to be some sort of trick. There was no way that after socializing with those girls and following him around it wasn't a trick... it had to be a trick, right?
"HAHAHAH! The one person that doesn't hate you and you f**k it up by treating her like she hates you!" ShadowGallatin was apparently finding this situation incredibly amusing. "You, my good sir, have the best luck ever. No seriously, it takes a special kind of luck to have such a screwed up life."
Gallatin however, was still in shock about this. He couldn't believe his ears, this girl was actually sincerely being nice to him and saying hi, not setting up for a prank or something?! It seemed too good to be true. He had to confirm this though. Uncertainly letting his voice echo out into the bathroom, Gallatin spoke once more. "Wait... So your not making fun of me? This isn't a joke, your serious?" He had to be sure; after asking the question, he waited in bated breath, half expecting some other people to jump into the room to shout "PSYCH" and bring him back to reality.

Luna slowly let go her anger slowly subsiding as she took a quick breath. "No, I'm not joking. I'm serious all I wanted to do was say hi maybe talk a little, you know get to know another person." Luna said before crossing her arms and looking away seeming a little hurt. "But instead all I got was yelled at for things I didn't do. People staring at me and some weird girls asking me to make friends with someone just so they could prank him. Honestly that was the thing that sickened me the most." Luna admitted still not understanding that it was Gallatin.
Luna still had be back to the door and was still ready to block anything. For some reason she didn't trust those people to let it lie. "I just, don't know why you would do that. Why do you just assume everyone you meet doesn't like you. Or was I just a random special case?" Luna asked wonder. She knew people were never just born mistreating, born evil. Something had to happen.

Gallatin was astonished. "Wow. I can't believe you honestly aren't joking." He guessed that the conversation with the girls being "friends" with someone was most likely their next prank on him. He filed that information for later though as he thought of a way to explain to this girl the current situation of the school. "Hmm... wow how should I explain this? Well, the thing is that I'm essentially a social outcast that everybody in the school enjoys teasing, pranking, abusing, etcetera. The cruelest though are the girls. You can't really blame me for not thinking you were their latest sendee after their last prank which involved one of them fake confessing to me."
He hoped the white haired girl would let go of his shoulders soon. His cheeks tinged a light color as he realized how close their faces were. His face felt especially hot and he could even feel her breath. His eyes landed on her face and he froze up upon realizing that an attractive girl was holding him by the shoulders and inches away from him while not hating him! Today was turning out to be a good day all in all! However, Galltin still felt really bad now for the way he treated her. "I-I'm sorry for the way I acted and treated you like a jerk. C-c-could you please forgive me."
"Holy shit Gall. BREATH! BREATH! ITS GETTING WAY TOO HOT IN HERE!!! Cant. Handle. Teenage. Hormones." ShadowGallatin antagonized him, making him mentally decide to somehow find a way to punch his other self in the face later.

"Well believe it." Luna simply said before hearing the rest he had to say. "Well that's horrible. Sorry they do that to you." Luna said almost offering to beat them up for him, that wasn't something humans normally did right? Or was,it? Humans are confusing. "Also confess what?" Luna asked not knowing what they would be confessing to. Did they steal something from him?
"Yeah alright I forgive you, no worries." Luna said before letting go of him and giving him a rather powerful pat on the back. Not strong enough for anything digimon suspicious so she was learning how not to use her power, it was hard when you had to be ultimate level while using the suit.

Gallatin stumbled forward when the girl patted him on the back. "WOAH!" He nearly fell on the floor. Jeez, she was really strong for someone of her size and build. Speaking of build, Gallatin couldn't help it as his eyes almost wandered down from her face before ShadowGallatin snapped him back.
"Eyes forward, soldier!" ShadowGallatin chanted, causing Gallatin to straighten up in surprise before settling once more on the girl's face.
"Um... s-s-so you should probably get out of the Boy's room before someone sees us and gets the wrong idea." He said while opening the door for her. "By the by, my name's Gallatin... and um... I-I guess it's nice to get to know you...? I'm sorry, I'm really bad with talking to people. Especially girls..." He said while holding the door open for the girl to go through, almost inaudibly whispering the last part.

Luna wondered why his eyes started drifting down, wasn't anything there. After that whole booby thing with Dante before Luna made sure if that since that even kinda scared her for a bit. And she really didn't understand what it was about anyway still very worrying.
"Wrong idea?" Luna shrugged after saying that though, she would just take his word for it. "Nice to meet you also Gallatin. I'm Luna." she said in a cheerful voice, luckily for her Luna was a actual name people could have, and it made sense with her hair and pendant so if asked she could pass it off as a nickname. Luna then left through the door.

After the white haired girl, who Gallatin now knew her as "Luna", left through the door, Gallatin stood there for a minute thinking to himself. "Wow. I can't believe it." He thought to ShadowGallatin. "I think my luck is turning for the better. I mean, a girl actually doesn't hate my guts here!" A grin creeped up his face at just the thought. This was a good day after all!
"I can't believe how late you are to class." ShadowGallatin piped in sarcastically. It was at this moment that the grin on Gallatin's face slowly drooped down into a frown to accompany the horror in his eyes. Pushing open the door and knocking it into the face of some boys carrying a basin of water, most likely to dump on him again, he dashed as fast as his legs could muster force for and ran through the hallways to the last class of the day.
Well, at the very least it was "English" class so he never needed to pay attention in class. As he finally approached the classroom, Gallatin dejectedly walked inside to the classroom while everyone snickered at him. Someone even pelted him with a paper ball or two, but he honestly didn't care. Taking his seat, he was about to take his usual position of resting his head on his hand and stare out the window when he remembered he could talk to someone now!
Gallatin turned around while wondering if Luna had gotten to class alright.

Well Luna had no idea where she was going, since she wasnt following someone she wasn't able to figure out where she was going, at least until the same,guy dragged her to the classroom again. Was this guy just everywhere or something, felt really off that he was just everywhere at once for no reason.
Luna sat back in the same seat as before somehow making it to class before Gallatin, which was weird since she had no idea where she was going. When someone threw something at him Luna felt the need to throw some ice spears but she knew she couldn't. Wouldn't be right these things could kill.
When he turned around she gave him a small wave but didn't say hi this time.

Gallatin waved back at Luna before turning around in his seat. It was really nice having someone not hate your guts in school for once. Speaking of which, he then resumed his activities of playing the "How many people hate you in the class" game, but smiled when he came to the letter L before stopping the game altogether. It seemed pretty useless to brood over people hating him now since he'd actually found someone that didn't.
After a few minutes of his teacher speaking in what he fondly called "Engrish", Gallatin was still very bored. Not only that, but the school day still had an hour or so left in it. Turning around in his chair to look at Luna, he decided to do something he wouldn't normally and converse with another person. "Hey Luna. I noticed that you didn't bring any school supplies with you. Did you lose your bag?" If need be, Gallatin could always just lend her his things since he rarely used them for anything other than random doodling.

Luna still had no idea what was going on, though she could always just leave since she had no obligation to be here, did she? Then Gallatin turned around and asked why she didn't have a bag, maybe it would be best to tell exactly why. "Oh, well the reason is kinda funny. I actually don't go to school. I was meeting someone then got lost around here and dragged into this building and thrown into this class. I kinda froze up and went along with it though." Luna admitted figuring there was no point in lying, it would just make him sad when she didn't come tomorrow.
"But this school thing is, pretty dull if I'm honest. Why do you come here?" it made little sense to her, and if all that happened here was he got insulted why did he come in the first place? And further on that point why did anyone come if all that happened was people talked about pranks and insulted one guy? This would be a great story to tell Dust later.
