NOVA

After trying to cheer Brandon up with a little shopping he decided to give me lessons on everyday human life.

Which was so amazing because now I could know what a whore was!

I heard a little girl call her mom that when I had been walking out side. It must mean some kind of compliment... I bet it means pretty.

Right now I was sitting in the living room while Brandon was teaching me basic human terms that were used today like one of them were, "you are dragging it."

"So what exactly are you dragging?" I asked him as he sighed to himself. Pressing his fingers to his head he rubbed slowly before he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"It means you over exaggerate." He said as I nodded my head vigorously.

"I know what that means!" I said happily because I was getting something right, which I liked. I liked feeling smart because usually Brandon thinks I'm childish.

"Good." He said with a small smile before he tried to get back to the lesson. I hollered as I jumped up and down, smiling.

I can't believe I got it right!

Brandon looked at me blankly and impatiently trying to get back to the lesson. I started to copy a dance move I saw a girl doing on TV.

"Nova what are you doing?-" Brandon said as his face started to turn a light pink. I'd never seen it particularly this shade before, mostly red. Like a tomato.

Edwin suddenly came into the living room as he shouted, "go besfrien! That's mah besfrien! You better fuck it up!" He started chanting in a song like manner. I decided to keep going realizing it was lighting Edwins mood.

"Is she twerking?" Nick asked as he entered the living room, standing next to Brandon who nodded his head. The both of them watching me and Edwin dancing non-stop.

"Nova!" Brandon finally shouted, something I expected him to do earlier but I guess he gave me time to.. "twerk". It was always in a demanding tone but I didn't mind if it made him happier.

"Sorry." I said under my breath as I sat on my seat on the couch. Edwin walking away after me muttering a disappointing, "aww man" I watched him leave before I finally focused on Brandon again.

"Do you have any questions?" He asked me as I thought about one really important question I had to ask. I raised my hand aggressively wavering it in the air back and forth as he pointed at my hand.

"What's a whore?" I asked him with a smile as he sighed deeply and left the room. He hung his head, muttering something as he walked up to his room making sure to slam the door behind him.

"Does it mean pretty?!" I yelled out into the air as I got no response from him. I felt sad wondering if I'd ever know what it meant.

"Hey Nick what-" I politely tried to ask him as he turned away from me, walking out of the living room while muttering, "nope."

I decided to go back to Brandon knowing that Zion wouldn't help me. Although Edwin would definitely help me but it seems that Brandon was more... intelligent in most cases.

"Hey Brandon...?" I said softly as I knocked on the door, my fingers grazed against the wooden door, "come in." I heard him mumble trying to sound uninterested but I could tell he wanted company even if it was me.

"I'm sorry." We both exchanged at the same time as he laughed lightly.

Then I realized what he'd said, he'd apologized? "Wait. Why did you say sorry?" I asked asked him as he brushed off his thighs distractingly and sat up on his bed.

"I.. I'm sorry for being so hard on you." He said admittedly as he looked up at me with a hurt expression making me want to give him a hug but even on my planet there was a such thing as ruining a moment.

"It's ok!" I said happy that he did say sorry even though he didn't really have to. He kissed his teeth shortly as he messed with his beanie.

"No. No it's not, your trying to adjust as best as you can.. I guess maybe I'm jealous?" He said like it were a question but I looked at him strangely either way.

"Jealous?"

"Oh right.. on this planet jealousy is when you want something that someone else may want really bad. So bad you may even hate the person." He said as it felt like he stabbed me,

"You hate me?" I asked as tears welled in my throat.

"No! I mean I'm not that jealous of you I just don't know how you do it." He explained as I began calming down. I still didn't know what he was talking about though.

"Do what?"

"Be happy." He said playing with his feet as a pain welled in my heart,

Guilt.

"It's just ever since.. that night.. I thought I would die," He almost choked on the word trying to swallow it before he finally said it, "and I can't be happy like you, it's just hard-" he said as I could see tears form in his eyes that he tried so hard to hold back.

I wanted to give him a hug so bad that I couldn't hold back. I moved onto the bed with him, wrapping my arms around him like a blanket as he rested his head on my shoulder still trying not to cry. I remember holding in the same tears when my parents argued about the littlest things, I didn't know what to do, I was alone. So I thought of the bright side of things always, I never tried to make anyone feel as alone as I'd felt.

"Don't worry..." I said with my arm tucked around the crook of his neck, "You'll always be a whore." I tried to comfort him with a compliment as he stopped crying as looked at me. I waited for him to quick me out of his room so I began to get up except he started laughing instead until he turned red and his tears were happy.
