The sun had risen hours ago. Many of them where still fast asleep on the rounded sofa. The empty bottles littered the floors and now the couples had made it clear how close they where. Literally the where all bunched together cuddling and sleeping away last nights chaos— as well as probably forgetting the reasoning bending the many lipstick stains on their faces and necks....
Athena and Lizzy were the first to be woken up. They worked together to clean up last nights Ned and set up a bunch of bottled waters for the others to help them with the aftermath of all of their shit.
"You didn't have to clean— it's my garage and your technically my guest. I feel bad, Athena..." Lizzy said tossing Athena her own bottle to drink after washing their hands and after throwing out the bag of shit left behind by the sleeping wheel demons.
"It's not a problem really, I didn't mind. Plus you said if I wanted to be apart of something I have to work for it— correct?" Athena commented.
"I mean yes— that is true... but the others are easy... I think it's more of earning Nova's trust... and most of us haven't even achieved that fully yet—" Lizzy said with a sigh afterwards. "I understand her reasoning though... she's very quiet because she doesn't want him to find out— not with everything going on especially." Lizzy said now sorta letting out hints and pieces for Athena.
"I'm picking up on what you mean—" Athena had caught on. Lizzy smirked, "oh really—? Then please enlighten me..." they said slyly, kinda curious on how much Athena understood from that.
"Well Novas reasoning for hiding her name probably has something to do with her boyfriend and I'm assuming he and her haven't been very— content hence the amount of shit coming from Cassia and the others last night.... She's worried that he would turn her in most likely—" Athena said now causing Lizzy to smile at her in return, as well as sliding her a golden star.
"A gold star for the A+ student" they joked. Athena laughed I'm response.
Athena grabbed her bag now, "I gotta get going— do you need anything Lizzy before I leave you with the others?" Athena asked to clarify.
"Actually could you bring me the brown box in the garage, I have to finishing unloading the new sets of paints and LEDS for Kayla's car..." Lizzy said, "... with all the chaos I forgot to bring it down."
"Alrighty one brown box coming up—" Athena responded and went over to the garage— she looked around and noticed the box next to the door, she had also noticed an article of clothing on top of a black car with white strips— with purple lights emitting from the bottom due to the poorly lit garage.(Reference photo above)
Athena grabbed the jacket and admired the details of it. She messed around with the textures— and how it seemed plain out front but the inside seemed to be detailed... especially with the name written on the collar inside. "Faith Kogane" stuck inside in a lovely shade of purple, standing out— obviously was a gift. She flipped it over a few times and realized that the name "Nova" was sorta almost drawn on the back with a cool sorta supernova explosion type detailing on it as well...
Nova—
Nova—?
F.K!?!?!
"Your kidding me right—?" Athena said, "she was just using her initials— how pathetic..." Athena rolled her eyes and folded the jacket carrying it with her back to Lizzy.
She would sit the box on the stool and look over to see that Lizzy was cooking. "Umm I got the box Lizzy—" Athena said announcing her return, "— but I have a question if you don't mind."
"Shoot—" Lizzy said turning over to face her.
"Do you happen to know where Nova is—?" Athena asked.
"Why are you looking for F.K—" Lizzy asked confused by the question.
"I— I just am wondering...." She answered avoiding the true reason as to not worry the other, or accidentally start anything.
"O-oh well... she's probably at her apartment to be honest... or maybe she's at the bar on the rooftop of the building complex downtown— what day is it?" Lizzy rambled a bit.
"It's umm Sunday—" Athena answered after checking her phone.
"Definitely going to be at the bar tonight then— that's probably the best time to go find her...." Lizzy said honestly using the info she gathered by being her friend for a while— plus roommate before she ditched on the whole a college degree thing.
"Alrighty thank you—" Athena responded, now going towards the door. "Have a good day! Oh! And thank you for everything!" She said while she waved goodbye and went out to her car."So it really is Faith... I mean that explains why she can't stay the fuck awake during the lectures..." Athena laughed to herself setting down her bag and the jacket before driving back home to freshen up for tonight.
"To think— on top of being a top student... she's breaking the law at night..."
