Nova's POV

Harry and Fiona left last week. Apparently, Harry has some training that will take about two years max, so he won't be able to visit us for the next two years.

I pull out my phone to text Oct.

Me: Hey, where are you?

Oct: practice just let out. ill come in a few

Me: kk

I sit down on the bench in front of the school. Fiona calls me, and I take the call, wondering why she was calling me.

Oct's POV

After I text Nova back, I walk out of the locker room and to my locker. I hear familiar voices coming from the lab room.

"I really hate that bitch. How many more days!" a male voice says.

Wait, it sounds familiar. Who the heck is that! Ughhh. Think Oct. Think!

"I know baby." A female voice replies. Female. Female-Satiana!

"I have to go, can we talk tomorrow before lunch?"

"Yea, sure baby." Satiana replies.

Satiana and a guy! She wasn't dating anyone but...Shit!

Tears roll down my face. I run out of the school. I see Nova outside, talking to someone on the phone. I slow to a walk, my head down.

Nova's POV

"Yea sure Fi." I say to Fiona on the phone.

"Ok. Thank you Nova. I appreciate it." she replies.

"No-" I stop when I see October coming out of the school, her head down.

"Nova?" Fiona says.

"Uh. Hey, um. Can I call you back later?" I ask.

"Yea. Thats fine."

"K. Thanks bye." I end the call and slip my phone into my back pocket.

"Hey Oct." I say, walking over to her.

"Hey Nove." she replies. Her voice is a bit shaky, almost like she just cried.

"How was practice?" I ask, trying to start conversation.

"The usual." is her short reply. Usually, if I ask her about cheer leading, she goes on and on for hours at a stretch. I look at her, but don't say anything. I don't want to pressure her. If she wants, she will tell me what happened.

The bus arrives early today, and we sit in silence in the back. Oct has her earbuds in, and is on her phone, which she rarely does, unless she is immensely sad or very happy.

I have to find out what happened.

Oct's POV

I didn't talk to Nova on the bus, or while we walked home from the bus stop. I feel a little bad, but I also feel like a fool.

Trusting every word he said. Matt. I liked him so much. He was my crush since  the seventh grade, and we got together last year after he broke up with Satiana, last year.

I close my eyes when I hear knocking on the door.

"Oct?" I hear Nova's voice.

"Come in." I say.

She walks in and closes the door behind her.

"You ok?" she asks, sitting on my bed.

"Yea, why wouldn't I be?" I ask.

"Oct, I know you well." she just says.

"I'm fine Nova."

I hug my knees to my chest.

"What happened?" she asks kindly.

"He hates me." I finally give in.

"I knew it!" she shouts, punching the bed.

I jump a little.

"What exactly happened?" she asks again.

I tell her everything. Me walking out of the locker room, hearing voices in the lab room, what they said.

By the end of it, Nova was practically fuming.

"Did they see you?" she asks.

I shake my head no.

"Pretend like nothing happened tomorrow." she tells me. I just nod.

**The Next Day At Lunch**

Nova and I had walked into school like it was a normal day. Though it wasn't.

I sat through the first half of the day. Somehow, I managed to talk to Matt without killing him...or myself.

I sit at the lunch table, eating my pizza.

Nova suddenly slides in next to me. I look at her. She nods and gestures behind me with her eyes, and I nod slightly, understanding what she was trying to tell me.

"Hey baby." Matt says as he sits next to me.

I ignore him, and he looks at me, surprised. Mike looks up at me too, shocked to see me quiet.

"So, how is your girlfriend?" Nova asks.

Matt looks at her, eyes wide. "W-what do you mean? My g-girlfriend is October." he stutters.

"Mhm. And I was born yesterday." I roll my eyes.

"Baby. I-"

"Shut up." I interrupt him.

"W-"

"Get up." I interrupt him again.

"Wha-"

"I said, get up."

He stands, and I do too. I start walking towards Satiana's table. Matt stands there. I gesture for him to follow him, which he does.

I stop right in front of Satiana's table. The cafeteria is quiet now, and everyone is staring at me.

Matt stops behind me. I turn around.

"Now you can sit with your girlfriend." I say.

He stares at me. I give him a mock smile and walk back to my table.

I did it!
