• First day of school, already?! In another state, city. Ugh, how crappy. Fighting reluctant tears, looking out the bus window. Keeping eyelids open, fighting the urge to sleep. How the hell did I get here? Why did this happen to me? Ugh.

    "Harold! What's this tab for Lorette's Place doing here?!" Nova's mother screeched.
    ". . . Must have been the wrong adress, Mary." Harold lazily replied, not even paying attention to what his wife's saying.
    "It has your name and our house phone number on it! You bloody t**t! How could you do this to me?!"
    "Easy!"
    "What was that?!" She'd had it. Mary darted to the living room, jumping over the loveseat, tackling Harold to the ground. Punching and screaming at him, Nova walked in and saw her mother.
    "What the ******** going on?!" She wailed, almost screamed.
    Mary was holding Harold in a too-tight headlock, his face turning red. Nova, frantic, called 911 and told the emergency dispatcher about everything she's seen.
    It was my fault, I ******** forgot. Nova was only thinking negative thoughts, repeating last night's horrible mistake in her head, since this morning.
    "Excuse me," brought Nova out of her horrible memory.
    Looking up at him, the most goregus boy she's ever seen.
    "Is this seat taken?" His voice was like a mezmorizing harmony.
    All she could do was blush and shake her head. Watching him plop down with the "I don't care about anything" attitude, Nova was amazed. She sighed, looked out the window and began to nervously twist the ends of her multi-coloured black and blonde hair until it got into a knot. Brushing out the knot, the boy finnaly said without looking at her,
    "You new?"
    Breathlessly, she squeaked and nodded;
    "Oi."
    Holding back a giggle, the boy said
    "Nice to meet you, I'm Jasper. And I'm guessing you're French?"
    "No, but I'm German, does that count?" Their laughter suddenly roared, draining out the sounds of the younger kids on the bus.
    "You know, your eyes are the brightest colour green I've ever seen." Jasper was just staring into Nova's eyes. Lost, she replied
    "T-thank you."
    "I never caught your name."
    "It's Nova."
    Jasper started to flush in bright pink, shaking his head for his dark brown bangs to hide his cheeks. Nova didnt notice, she was lost in HIS eyes.
    "Wow. You have a name as amazing as your beauty" Jasper murmered mostly to himself.
