Nova

After the tour we just went back to his room. He didn't say much before he went into his bathroom and shut the door.

Whatever.

I took my shoes off then laid in the bed, watching tik tok on my phone. It was about 30 minutes before he came out of the bathroom, but I didn't bother looking at him until he went to his closet.

That's when I saw his bare back and a towel around his waist. I think I saw a tattoo going up his side, but I wasn't sure. Once he went into the closet, I laid my head back down and continued what I was doing.

Not long after he came out in sweatpants and a short sleeve shirt then laid on the bed, facing away from me. There's something off with him...I think at least.

Maybe it's just the jetlag.

I'm so bored. I've been laying here for an hour and can't stop moving around unlike Grayson who has yet to move a single muscle in his body.

"Grayson?" I whispered. Maybe he's asleep. I slowly got off the bed and went around to see he was indeed asleep. I don't want to wake him up, so I decided to just go downstairs and chill in the living room.

"Hey, Nova." Paisley was already on the couch, so I sat beside her. "Hello, what are you doing?" I crossed my arms and put my legs beside me.

"Watching Gravity Falls." She looked at the tv. "That's fun." "Yeah, can I ask you questions now?"

"Of course you can." "Really?" She looked at me, excited. "Yes, I love questions." I smiled.

"Okay, what's your middle name?" "Actually, Nova is my middle name. My real name is Mazalin, but I like going by Nova."

"Wow, both names are really pretty." "Thank you. What's your middle name?" "Marie. How old are you?" "I'm 21."

"You're only 10 years older than me." "You'll be my age one day." "I don't want to be." She crossed her arms like she was mad.

"Good." She's probably the only young girl who doesn't want to get older, but that's good.

"Do you have any siblings?" She asked. "I have an older brother named Jacob." "What about your parents?"

"Well," I looked at the tv then back at her. "My dad passed away and I don't really speak to my mom."

"Oh, I'm sorry." "It's okay." I would ask her about her dad, but that's probably a little weird.

"My dad works a lot, but he's always home for dinner." She laughed, making me giggle. "That's good."

She stopped asking question and continued watching her show. I've seen this show before, I would watch it every now and then when it came out. I was almost 15 when it did.

"Hey." One of the other boys sat on the other end of the couch. I don't remember which one this is, maybe Nicolas?

"Hey." I looked at him. "Are you planning on dating my brother?" I laughed once he said that.

 "Uh no."

"Oh okay so Lance can get your number?" He smiled like he wasn't supposed to say that. "You fat little whore. I just told you not to tell her anything!" I heard from the top balcony.

I put my hand over my face and started laughing.

"It was worth a shot." Nicolas said. I remember their names now because Stephan is the younger one and now I can tell Lance is a little older than Nicolas.
