“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
Somehow May shoved me into the bathroom to put on the dress while she called Kelsey to tell her about the party.“This dress is trying to suffocate me” I struggled as I tried to put it on even knocking down the bathroom shelf in the process“What is going on?” I heard Kelsey say on the phone“Nova is trying to put on a dress,” May said“Sounds painful” Kelsey laughed“It is painful!” I shouted“So are you coming?” May asked“Hell yeah, I just have to find the right excuse for my mom,” Kelsey said“Perfect, the dress code is sexy” May purred“I would try my best because May sexy is a different type of sexy” Kelsey laughedWe know well enough that May was different than both of us. She was into fashion and you can easily tell just by looking at her, unlike me who didn’t know a thing and Kelsey who had a specific style of dressing.“Come on out” May knocked on the door“This dress is trying to kill me I am not joking” I called out“I am coming in,” she said before swinging the door open
I was home alone, and it was not like I had anything fun to do like most teenagers. My mom should be lucky she had me as a child. I have never escaped at night to go to a party, and worse, I had never been to one in my years of living, but I already knew it wasn’t my scene. In movies, they always made it look fun, but I hated noise. Why would an environment where loud music is being blasted in your ears supposed to be fun?“Hey May,” I said after I picked up my ringing phone“What do you think about going for a rave?” She askedHow was she talking about a party when I was just thinking about one“You might really be a witch” I laughed“And I don’t do parties or none of that shit” I added“My neighbor who is a college student just told me about a rave that is happening at midnight in the woods, I need to go see what it is like” I could hear the excitement in her voice“You can go, I am not interested,” I told her“Don’t be a killjoy” she whined“First it is a school night and second I
I walked through the door still tired as fuck, the last thing I remembered was Miss Ken the therapist asking me how I was feeling about returning back to school for good. After that, I was awakened by a little tap that my session was over. I had slept off without even realizing and she let me be, maybe she isn’t so bad after all.“Hi mom” I greeted her absent minded, I was about to walk up when something made me stop. My eyes caught her, she was all glammed up, wearing a long black dinner gown that hugged her body in all the right places like it was made just for her. The dress was sleeveless with thin straps, showing off her smooth arms and her neck. The fabric shimmered a little under the light, soft and silky like something expensive.She had her hair in an updo, pinned neatly at the back of her head, with a few loose strands framing her face. It made her look elegant, older even, like someone out of a magazine. The hairstyle pulled her features out more, her sharp cheekbones, her
NOVAI couldn’t stand the eyes on me, my anxiety picked up and I wanted to run out instead of dealing with it but after pleading one last time they left me alone and it felt like I could finally breathe. People weren’t focused on us anymore and returned to their meals.I picked up the plate and tossed it in the trash. And just then the bell rang, I was dreading having to return and sit through about three more classes before I got to go home but not like I was left with any other choice. I couldn’t just keep skipping classes, I had neglected my studies for more than a month and it was either I get back to it or face the consequences of having bad grades. However, my mom didn’t really care about my grades, maybe because of how confident she was in me.Moving school constantly never really affected my grades; it only affected me psychologically. I couldn’t even tell which of the two would have been a better option. I wasn’t the best student, not that I couldn’t be if I wanted to. I alwa
