Hayes looked at me
"Stars and back huh?" He laughed lightly
"Yeah why not?" I smiled laughing
"It's cute" he blushed smiling at his lap
Still kinda nervous I see, he'll warm up eventually... Well hopefully.
"C'mon lets go to my locker I gotta grab some books for my next class" I smiled at him and he looked down and nodded
Jeez I thought he came out of his shell, what happened but I guess not.

I snatched his hand softly
very warm, sweaty and soft.
My heart started to beat super fast and I could feel my face get hot
Why am I blushing? I'm the one to took his hand uhhh.
I'm so dumb bye kms

I lead him to my locker while he scanned the school looking around.

I saw Lindsay, Tasia, and Alexa looking at Hayes hungrily. Oh lawdddd...

"Hey why are you with the star freak cutie..." Lindsay stared at him with an intense uneasy stare.
I quickly switched my eyes to his face he was looking at me with pity and annoyance then quickly shot his gaze to Lindsay.
"She isn't a freak." He said slightly loud
"What bullshit. Have you seen her she's the definition of freak babe. She has stars written all over her notebooks and only thinks of the stars not to mention she's suicidal but you wouldn't know that. You're new and clueless. She's a freak, cutie. A total freak." She snapped and stared at me smirking.
I was humiliated, how did she know about that? And Hayes now knew about it?! This isn't fair, why me I just wanted one friend but this just turned upside down on me real quick. my gaze shifted to my wrist. Light lines that could be seen fairly well if you looked that them, I was surprised not as many people knew it was extremely hard to cover up scars and cuts.

I then noticed I was crying. I realized how ridiculous I am for crying in front of Hayes. I took a step forward and ran to the end of the hall the turned the corner and slid down the wall looking up at the ceiling, pursing my lips trying to hold back my tears then closed my eyes and began to cry my eyes out. Everything they said there was so true. Hayes will never like me now, not in anyway shape or form... I hate myself, I hate everything, I'm more than done with life...

"Nova?" I hear a voice say as they come towards the hallway I'm in.
I get up quickly not wanting the person to see me this way I look like a total mess.

I sprinted the best I could away from them. But you can't run very fast when you're wearing jean shorts...

"Nova stop!" I heard as I scrambled to turn the next corner, I was mortified I couldn't face him after what had happened and the fact that I looked like a train had run me over.
But he was quick, like oddly quick to run so fast. He spun me around and grabbed me around the waist and lifted me up as I wrapped my long legs around his waist and hooked my feet together so I could keep myself up as I held around the boys neck like the world was falling around us.

It felt right. Like I had a purpose.
It was an extraordinary feeling, my stomach was bubbling even though on the outside I'm sobbing into his shoulder while he's breathing heavily.
He leaned his back against the wall, still holding onto me for dear life it's like he felt I'd disappear at any moment. At this moment I knew he'd be in my life forever and I'd never have to worry about losing him.

"Are you ok" he asked not sure weather he wanted to break the amazing moment or not.

"Now that you're in my life, I'm gonna be ok"
