start a fight. Remember what happened last time we tried to have a party? He nearly shifted that time.”
“But you’ll be there to stop him.” She pleaded with me.
“Fine. But were getting new bathing suits tomorrow.”
Nova practically squealed in delight. “Great. Do you want a ride home?”
“I’m good. I just want to be by myself right now. Plus there’s some things that I need to do.”
“See you soon.”
I highly doubted that. I didn’t plan on being back until the morning.

Chapter 11
Alexzander
Nova and I were watching Astra and my brother bicker. I turned to look at Nova spinning around; I noticed she does that when she has nothing to do. I grabbed her by the shoulders and spun towards me, “Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot.”
“Well there is this-“I stopped mid sentence and noticed Astra waving her over. She followed my stare and grimaced. She looked over at me and pouted.
“I’ll be right back. If you wait I can drive you and your brother home.” She turned around and sprinted towards her best friend… sister… cousin? I wasn’t really sure.
Collin walked up to me, smiling like an idiot. I knew the look though. “So, what happened?”
“I asked Astra to help coach our team.”
“And?”
“She said yes.” Collin started to smile like an idiot, again. I punched him in the arm and laid down. I tucked my arms under my neck and slowly closed my eyes. Nova’s face kept popping into my mind and no matter what I did, my mind betrayed me. It didn’t just betray, but tortured me with since the first time I met Nova.
It was my first day of school. I just finished 5th period, but I was having a hard time looking for my biology class. I walked through the halls and stomped up the stairs two at a time. The school numbering system was messed up because first it was A1 then A3 but skipped to A8. I finally gave up and started walking towards the front door, but a person caught my eye. I turned around to see a girl with black jeans and a zebra striped shirt on. She was mumbling on the lines of Charlie and stupid assignment. “Excuse me.” I nervously called out. She turned around and gasped. She had black hair and violet eyes.
She walked over to me and stared at me. A smile crept on to her face and she started to jump up and down.”I have never seen you around, I’m Nova.”
I laughed at all her energy,”Alexzander.”
“Are you new?”
“Yeah, how could you tell?”
“Everyone had the same look on their face on their first day of school.” She knit her eyebrows together and pushed out her lips.
“I did not look like that,” I laughed.
“Oh, yes you did. What classes are you suppose to be in?”
“Right now, I need to get to Mrs. Attaway’s biology class.”
“I am going in that class, follow me.” She skipped down the hallway, and turned around. “Are you coming?”
I ran to catch up to her and we stopped next to room A7. “I swear I passed this door five times and I never saw the sign.”
“It looks like every other door. Watch out, our teacher is a b-“What must have been Mrs. Attaway walked out.
“Nova get into the classroom.”
“I was showing a new student to the class. Mabye you should get a neon sign.”
“Haha, this won’t get on record, you’re lucky he is here.” She smiled at me and pushed me into the classroom.
“Alexzander!” Nova screamed in my ear.
I mumbled and opened my eyes, “Hello.”
“Are you coming?”
“Yeah.” I held my hand up and Nova pulled me up. Once I was up I didn’t let go of her hand or stare. It stayed that way till we heard and that cough broke us apart. I turned around and glared at my smirking brother.
“I’m cold and the car is locked, so if you can just unlock the door, you two can go back to your staring contest.”
Nova walked past me without looking at me and went to the car. I sighed and glared at my brother from behind him. So close.
Chapter 12
Collin
I enjoyed making Alexzander angry with me. It was always the highlight of my day. But this time I didn’t mean to. I was actually cold.
I didn’t see how Astra could be out here practicing. When the heat turned on in the car, I practically melted into a puddle.
Nova pulled out of the parking lot leaving behind Astra. “What about Astra? How is she going to get home?” I asked.
“She said that she had to do something. And she has her own ways of traveling.”
“Oh.” I sighed. I was really hoping to spend some time with Astra before we went home. “Thank you for taking us home.”
“My pleasure. I hope you can forgive the way Astra spoke to you. She’s just really protective of me.”
“What’s up with that any way?” Asked Alexzander.
“It’s been that way since our grandfather died. She doesn’t want anyone to get close to me. She’s afraid that if I do, they’ll hurt me.”
“That makes sense. Our dad is the same way. He thinks no girl is good enough for us. And doesn’t like us to have girlfriends.” Said Alexzander.
I just sat in the back listening to them to talk. I was enjoying their conversation. The way they talked to each other was amazing. It was like they understood each other completely, and had known each other for a long time.
I wish I knew a person like that. Someone I could be myself with. But my father wouldn’t allow it. Especially since he was the leader of the HS. And that made us royalty. He only wanted the best for us. And that even meant girlfriends. I was set on making Astra my girlfriend. And proving to my father that anyone would do.
“Thanks for the ride. We’ll see you tomorrow.” I just realized that we had arrived.
I got out of the car. Nova drove off leaving dust in her trail. “It’s a wonder I can even breath around that woman.”
“I know exactly what you mean.” I said the Alexzander. “I wonder what they’re going to do tomorrow before they come.”
“We can always follow them. They’ll never know we where there.”
“True. But for that were going to need a good night’s rest. Because if there’s one thing I do know about women, they can spend all day looking at nothing important.”
Chapter 13
Nova
I was exhausted by the time I got home and the house was a huge mess. I probably shouldn’t have left my destructive friends alone, but I want to spend time with the boys. No matter what Astra says, I won’t stop talking to them.
I crawled up the stairs and pushed open the door. I grabbed a pillow and blanket; I fell asleep on the floor next to my phone.
By the time I woke up next time it was 9am. I pushed myself off the floor and went into my bathroom. My hair was frizzy and afro looking. I straightened my hair and changed into black skinny jeans and a green tank-top.
I walked down stairs and found Astra sleeping on the couch. It looked like she didn’t even try walking up the stairs. I walked into our kitchen and looked through the fridge. I grabbed an apple and walked back into the living room and sat on Astra legs.
“Wake up Astra; I need a new bathing suit.”
“And I need sleep.”
“After you get us a new bathing suit.” I whined.
“Fine.” She tried to get up, “Get off of me.” I jumped off of her and ran towards my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and put a little bit of make up on. When I got out Astra was already ready and was standing by the door. “Car or motorcycles?”
“The car.”I grabbed the keys and ran out the door. Astra slowly followed me and hopped into the passenger seat. I put on my jacket and started the car. “I love that sound.”When the garage opened me and Astra flew out of it and raced towards the mall.
Thirty minutes later me and Astra were walking into the mall. We walked past tons of stores with bathing suit sales, but Astra and I knew what store we were going to. Hot Topic.
Astra and I looked through racks in till I found a perfect one and pushed Astra in a changing room. Minutes later Astra walked out with a midnight blue bikini.”Amazing.” A heard a few people whistle behind me and saw Astra blush a little. I walked back towards the racks. I found a white with neon green splatter paints and rushed towards the changing room.
An hour later we were driving back home with a trunk full of bags and a smile plastered on my face. I quickly changed into my bikini and put on my black shorts. I waited for Astra to come down the stairs and we walked towards the boy’s house. Cars filled the streets and I was happy that we walked in. I couldn’t stand still and was pretty much jumping up the stairs. Astra knocked on the door and Collin came into view.
I have to say, for someone who is a complete jackass, he had a great abs. “Hey Astra.” Collin smiled. I coughed and looked up at Collin. He hasn’t taken his eyes off of Astra yet, “Oh hey Nova.”
“Yeah whatever.” I pushed past him and looked at their house. It was HUGE, but there was hardly any room to move around, it was too packed. Everyone at school must have been here, and I knew most of them. I walked around saying hi to people and found Lilly and I walked toward her, but before I could some wrapped their arms around me and spun me around. “Well, hello.” I smiled.
“Hello to yourself.”
“Nice party Alexzander.”
“I wouldn’t call it my party. I did nothing and but watched Collin put this together.”
“Nice. I wouldn’t blame you though. It’s hard to put up streamers.”
“See, I’m happy not the only one who thinks that.” We laughed and walked outside. I sat at the side of the pool and watched Alexzander walk around and talk to everyone. Lilly sat next to me and looked at me. “So.”
“So what?”
“What is up with you and Alexzander?”
“There is nothing up with us.” I blushed.
“Sure. I saw you guys in the house. The way you guys were looking at each other.”
“Were we looking at each other in a weird way?”
“Yep.” She got up, “I’ll see you later.”
I watched her walk away and Alexzander sat next to me. “Hey.” He bumped my shoulder.
“Hey.” I bumped his shoulder back. Then he splashed me and got me all wet.
“I’m sorry. I just… and then… I didn’t-“I pushed him into the pool and started to laugh my ass off. He surfaced and spit out water, “You think that was funny?”
“Yeah.”
“Then is going to be hilarious.” He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into the pool.
Chapter 14
Astra
I have to say. This is the first time I’ve seen this many preps together in one place, besides at school. I didn’t do well around so many people. And I wasn’t feeling that good. I was a prep phobic.
Just then someone wrapped their arms around me. I turned and saw that it was Scott. “Thank god for a familiar face. I was beginning to think I wouldn’t get to see you today in all these people.”
