“Miss Foster, she would see you now” the secretary of the therapist walked up to me where I was seated in the waiting room “Thanks” I mumbled, dragging my feet into her office“Hello Nova” Miss Ken said with her professional smile, she was always in character ready to pry into my life“Hi” I whispered before taking a seat on the plush couch opposite where she sat“How was school?” She asked“Do you mind me lying down?” I asked“Sure whatever makes you comfortable,” she said, and I took off my shoes before lying on the couch. My eyes were fixated on the plain white ceiling and the beautiful crystal chandelier that hung right above my head.“Do you want to talk about your day?” She asked“It was fine” I gave her a straightforward answer“You want to give me a quick summary?” She asked“My first class was a grouped session, then everything else was pretty normal, I had lunch in between, and returned till class ended,” I said briefly “What was the discussion during the grouped session?”
As we walked out of school, I saw a big banner plastered just by the entrance of the building. “THEATER WEEK STARTS NOW,” the banner read, sending a sharp pain through my heart. I thought I was over it, but seeing it again in my face just made my heart hurt. I had anticipated it so much that I thought I was finally going to live the dream where all I had ever wanted came to reality, but it wasn’t that type of dream; it was a fucking nightmare.“Theater week is here” I heard Amelia's voice scream through the speakers“It is going to be a fucking movie trust me you don’t want to miss it” she added making me roll my eyes I was jealous and hurting I could easily admit that to myself “That means we don’t have to come to school” May cheered“Really?” I asked“There would be no classes until their fiasco is over,” she told meI let out a deep sigh. Thankfully, I wouldn’t have to sit through the torture of watching her perform on the stage. I thought I had the opportunity to grace her and w
I woke up with my head pounding like someone had hit me with a brick. The light creeping in through my curtain felt like it was stabbing my eyes and my mouth tasted like something had died inside it. My body felt very heavy, my limbs weak and slow. I didn’t need a reminder to know I drank way too much last night. The whole night was a blur, just flashes of lights and voices, and music. But I remembered one very clear moment that stuck with my brain. Dylan.When he fucking kissed me during the game out of nowhere. Everything rushed through my head all over again feeling as fresh as ever and I had to get up and go to school not knowing what the fuck the day was going to bring me.I ruffled my hair angrily, kicking my feet in the air before I shot up the bed so I could get dressed, I got up too fast and immediately regretted it. My stomach twisted and I reached for the edge of the bed to keep myself from falling. I ran my hand over my face, trying to force the memory out of my head, bu
She lazily tried to wipe the mess away from my clothes, her hand moved but no difference was made, she was very tipsy and clearly couldn’t handle alcohol.“Just leave it” I pushed her hand away“Let me clean it” she staggered in her steps wiping the corner of her mouth My eyes travelled down her body from head to toe and I couldn’t believe my eyes that she was the same Nova I knew. She looked different way different than I have ever seen that I couldn’t bring myself to stop staring, I have been staring from a corner since I noticed her stopping every guy that tried to approach her I held myself back from walking towards her when that guy sat beside her but when it got too much I couldn’t watch and had to step in.“What the fuck was that for?” The guy I knocked down charged at me “Get the fuck out of my face if you don’t want to leave here with a broken nose” I warned firmly through my teeth, I was going to use the anger in me for touching her with his filthy hands and the fact that
“What? Where?” May asked looking around immediately “What the fuck, is he fucking bug or what?” She askedMy heart rate increased drastically, I was looking for an escape and not to bump into a schoolmate, and worst of all fucking Dylan. It was like doing a bad thing for the first only for it to come back and bite you in the ass.“Don’t look at them or act like they exist. We don’t know them” May said“Know who?” Kelsey appeared out of nowhere making me jump“Dude don’t get us killed” May clutched onto her chest“First of all damn,” Kelsey said staring me down from head to toe“I didn’t recognize you, I only saw May’s hair and thought she was chatting to a stranger” she added making me let out a shy laugh“Why has my hair become a means of identification?” May asked“That is the best way to find you anywhere” I laughed“Does it look bad?” I asked “What no, you look really sexy and a little bit naughty but in a good way” She winked at me and I felt my face heat up instantly “As she
NOVAI was bullied to wear the damn dress, I kept tugging it down but it was as good as useless because of how fast it kept riding up“You can now look,” May said, handing me a mirror, I opened my eyes slowly and a gasp left my mouth when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I looked different in a good way, the makeup was so extraordinary that I couldn’t believe I was looking at myself. It was loud makeup, nothing like the soft one she usually made me wear to school. This one had bold, smoky eyeshadow that made my eyes look deeper and intense. She gave me a dark cat-eye liner that stretched out sharply at the corners, making me look a little edgy but sexy at the same time. I barely recognized myself in the mirror. It was dramatic, loud, but somehow it worked and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it.“Wow” I breathed out “You like it?” She asked staring at me waiting for me to say something“No,” I said“I could change the eye look if it is too much,” she told me“I love it” I grinn
