Lost without you (Keith x Oc)

Chap 1: Meeting Him

Octavia's POV
The Galaxy Garrison, the most prestigious flight school in the whole of America. Most kids would be thrilled to be attending the famous academy, but me? I'm only here because papa thought it would be a great opportunity for me. Annnnd he teaches here-

I'm not exactly complaining, believe me I absolutely love space but my real passion lies in journaling and writing. I journal about everything in hopes that something interesting happens in my life that'll spark an idea for a novel of some sort.

Iverson found me on his doorstep when I was a baby and ever since then he's done nothing but help me achieve my best. I've got my Solo Pilot test today, a lot of kids think I'm only in the course because Iverson favourites me. But I made my way into the course all by myself. They can be jealous all they want, especially James.

. . . . .

I was to into my note taking to hear Iverson call my turn for the test. "Silver!" James snatched my journal from out of my hands, dangling it in front of my face. "Come on Silver, 'Papa' called out your turn you dork."

I always hated it when he mocked me. "James give it back!" I went to go snatch it off of him but the asshole kept lifting it higher because of the height difference.

If Iverson wasn't here I would've punched him fair in the face, but instead I quickly kneed him in the crotch and snatched my book back. I leant down and whispered a small "Oh did that hurt?" In his ear before walking into the flight simulator.

I placed my journal down on the chair so it would be safe when I sat down for my test. I made sure everything was positioned right before turning on the communicator.

"Silver to central command. Ready for take off." Iverson gave me the good to go and the flight test begun.

I knew I was going to ace it, I had never failed one of the flight tests. Especially the Garrisons Solo Pilot exams.

. . . . .

After I had landed the simulator ship to its destination safely I got out and was met with a big applause.

"Great job Cadet Silver, you aced your test with flying colors. (No pun intended) Top of the class as always." Iverson smiled as I gave him a quick hug. Some of the other cadets gave me small high fives and congratulated me before I excused myself from the room, sending Iverson a small salute.

I finally let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding as I walked back to my comfortable dorm to study a little more. One of the other Cadets Lance walked past and sent me some finger guns, which earned him an eye roll and small wave from me. I chuckled to myself as I opened my dorm door, welcomed to the lovely smell of citrus. That idiot's always been a tool.

.  .  .  .  .

I had only been sitting on my bed reading a book for a few minutes when someone knocked on my door. It was probably another student looking for another tutoring session.

I paused my music and took my earphones out before opening the door annoyed. "For the last time Lance, I'm not going to tutor you just so you ca-" It wasn't Lance this time, instead a slightly shorter guy with dark hair.

"Sorry to annoy you in your free time Octavia, but you left your journal in the simulator and Iverson asked me to drop it off to you." He smiled awkwardly and gently handed the journal back to me. 

"I couldn't help but read a few pages on the way here.. But the way you take notes and write things out is very detailed and talented." He looked down embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his neck.

I stood there stunned for a few seconds before reaching out to hold the sides of his face with a big smile, ignoring the fact that he had read some pages. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! If James got his hands on it I would have died! There has to be to be a way I can repay you. Do you want me to do your homework for the rest of the year? Or let you cheat on tests? I could ask Iverson to go easier on you." I smiled brightly and quickly pulled away after realising what I was doing.

"O-Oh my god. I am so sorry!" My face flushed pink, causing him to chuckle at me. "Don't worry Silver, it's alright. I feel kind of bad for asking but Iverson has been saying I'm slipping and I was wondering if you could help?-"
