"Know that I'd gladly be The Icarus to your certainty"
|Nova Sinclair|
The hallway is flooded with people I don't recognize, all going over to the same notice board at the end of it. Taking a deep breath, I venture through them, muttering excuses.
The paper holding my sanity is small and filled with names, at the top was mine. Relief floods through me upon seeing the A grade and ninety nine percent.
Someone points to me as I try to move away, "You're Nova?"
"Yeah, that's me." I respond.
He nods "Theo's gonna be pissed when he finds out you beat him" He says and walks away. Uh okay?
I glance back towards the board and find another name below mine, with almost the same percent. Theodore Abbott.
When I got out of that suffocating hellhole, I take another deep breath and continue the way back to the dorms.
One of the main exams of the year was conducted just last week, at the beginning of the year. They claimed it was a surprise to test the actual knowledge of students and I freaked out. Turns out it was for nothing.
Moving here wasn't entirely my idea, nor was it my decision but I didn't find any problems so I agreed. It looks like I left out having friends.
Naina, a childhood acquaintance, was the only person I know at Stellar. She moved here two years ago so I guess she'd know her way around everyone.
Reaching our room, I almost sigh at what awaited me. Perks of a private school? A dorm that could be mistaken for an apartment with the size and appearance.
We've got two bedrooms, each with closets and desks, a living room, a balcony and a kitchen with a table. I mean- this is the life, man. The best part, ours is the penthouse.
After leaving my bag and taking a sweater, I make my way towards the huge cafeteria hall at the far edge of the campus.
Halfway through, a guy comes up to me with brown hair and- a pretty face. "You're Nova?"
"Yeah that's me," He's tall. "Anything you want?"
"I'm Theodore." Oh, that's very interesting.
"Ah," I grin "You're supposed to be my rival, Theodore."
"I know, but I don't really care. So, I just came here to see if you did." Very interesting, indeed.
I shrug, I didn't care either. But, my nightmare of a mother does.
"I don't as long as you don't."
"Great," He smiles and shut up, he looks even prettier "See you around, then."
