don't delete the kisses

This is how it starts

Nova sits down in math class. It's her senior year and she really can't wait to move out from Southhampton. It isn't like she doesn't enjoy her life. It has been great, she has had a great friends since 5th grade and an even better ones since sophomore year, when Kyle and Alice joined Nova and her best friend. She just doesn't like long island.

Mr. Jacobs walks into the classroom which is a sign that class is starting. She puts away her notebook full of lyrics and sits straight.

"Alright class! We have a-" he gets interrupted by the whole soccer team walking in. "Mr. Dawson. You're late. Anyway we have a pop quiz so put away everything on your desks."

Alexander Dawson, the star player, captain of the soccer team, still standing at the door looks around and sits down next to Nova. She shifts slightly in her seat uncomfortable and starts focusing on the quiz infront of her.

"Hey!" he whisper yells after a couple of minutes, "Nova!"
"What is it?" she doesn't lift her gaze.
"Help me please" he whines. She lifts her head and looks at him. He has that stupid player grin on his face. His ralph lauren cap is backwards and his honey blonde hair is abit longer than before summer.

Nova looks at their teacher and back at his paper. She shifts her paper closer to him and tries her best to not cover her answers so he can copy them.

They don't exchange any other words during class. The bell rings and everyone starts gathering their things. Nova walks out to her locker thats right next to the classroom. Alex  walks out after her and leans onto the locker.

"So, thanks, stargirl." He smirks at her.
"No worries" Nova shuts her locker and starts walking to her next class ignoring him.

It's almost a month into senior year and for some reason Alexander has gathered interest in Novas friend group. His best friend Kyle has been in it since sophomore year but none of the girls have spoken to Alex more then a couple hi's at parties. Now though, Alex has even eaten lunch with them a couple of times.

She gets passed her next couple of classes without any problem. She is just waiting for lunch because she can finally see her best friend Gianna, who has been away in Brazil for two months. Her and Gianna have been friends since they were 10, and planned how they're leaving Long Island to move to London since they were 13. Since Gianna wants to study fashion and Nova wants to study journalism, it's the perfect place for University.

The bell rings and she practically runs out of the class twoards the cafeteria. Gianna has no idea of any of how Alexander has been acting with her and Alice so this lunch will be the best one after a long while. In the corner of the cafeteria sits Alice, Kyle and Gianna, Nova runs up to them and hugs her best friend. Gianna lets out a little scream and turns hugging her back.

They hold their hug for a couple of minutes until Nova grips her shoulders.
"Do not EVER leave me for that long again!" she practically yells, Gianna laughs and shakes her head.
"I promise i won't, and anyway, in a year we will live together!" Nova hugs her again.

They sit down and everyone starts asking her about her trip until they get interrupted by non other than Alexander Dawson. He sits down next to Kyle, giving him the usual bro hug, like it is the most casual thing ever. He looks up from his plate and spots Gianna infront of him.

"Alexander?" she questions. The table stays quiet.
"Yes lovely to meet you ....?" he puts his hand out twoards her.
"Gianna? Martez?" she says shaking his hand.
"Nice" he scratches his neck seeing as Gianna is still giving him a questioning look, "well I don't know if you know but Kyle is my best friend so i decided to join this little squad you guys have going on." Alex explains.
