Black Rain, Stevidot

Chapter 10

Nova's pov 🌺~

       I don't remember what happened... I just woke up with ragged breaths, sweat rolling all over me. I would have to take a shower. I had an ache in my gut, something bad is going to happen. For some reason, I think it might be good, too.

I brushed my curly blonde hair out of my blue eyes and stood up to get a shower. Before I went to the bathroom, I stretched and wondered what would happen today.

     I look at my watch impatiently and wait in line for my donut. All I wanted was a donut! In front of me was a girl called Connie (I knew her from school. Not personally, though, I don't care to meet her personally.), a green, yet oddly cute what I assume is a girl with triangular hair, and a short, chubby kid with curly hair.

      I decide to talk to them to see what the problem is. I tap the green girls shoulder and she spins around. It all happens in slow motion. Her eyes look bored, and slightly careless, her long eyelashes outlining them. "Yes?" She asks me hesitantly.

      "What's the hold-up?" I ask simply, staring at her with a light blush along my cheeks. "Hold-up..." She mumbles to herself, seemingly trying to remember something. "Oh, yeah! The Sadie human is sick, and the Lars human is not around." She says simply.

        I raised an eyebrow at her weirdness. "Okay?" I mutter as an end to our conversation. She doesn't turn around, though. "So what are you addressed by?" She asks. "Excuse me?" I ask, confused.

"She meant what is your name." The chubby kid is looking back at me, smiling. "Keito." I tell her. "I am Peridot." Peridot holds out her hand for me to shake. I grab it and savior the warm feeling it brings to me.

It was no doubt, I am fascinated with her. I want to learn more about this odd girl. I feel like I would to anything to. I felt determination flare in my heart. I will get to know this girl.

I forgot about getting a donut and left the store, excitement bubbling inside of me.

I walked inside the donut store. I didn't bother to look at the sign, I just knew it was a donut store. I was sent by my mother sent me to get donuts for me, my two siblings, and her. I wish that I was walking in this store to get donuts for dad, too.

I blinked away the forming tears and my eyes and put on a poker face as a walked up to the bar. There was an angry looking teenage boy and pale blond girl, who looked sick. I ordered three chocolate donuts with rainbow sprinkles and one cream-filled donut with no hole.

The teenage boy looks at the sick looking girl expectantly. "I'm sick you idiot! I wouldn't be here if you had actually done your job!" She yelled angrily. The teenager groaned, annoyed, and packed up the donuts for me.

I began to walk away but tripped over something. The bag toppled to the floor but luckily, no donuts fell out. A young girl helped me up, along with picking up the bag, and handed me it.

"Thank you!" I smiled at her, gratitude shining in my eyes. "Your welcome." She smiled back. "My name is Nova." I told her, shaking her hand. "My name is Connie." She grinned, "Would you like to sit with us?"

"Sure!" I replied, not knowing who us was. She lead me over to where two other people were laughing and blushing. I saw Connies smile falter. I felt a burning dislike for them, I mean, how rude to just laugh and talk while your other friend is away!

She plastered on a small, fake smile. "This is Steven," she said, motioning towards a curly haired boy, "And this is Peridot." She said with less excitement, not bothering motioning towards the green girl with triangular shaped hair.

I felt a burning dislike not for Steven, who greeted me kindly, but for Peridot, who simply stared at me strangely. I enjoyed my time with them, nonetheless, sitting and talking and laughing with my new friend Connie.

I had to go eventually, though, and bring the donuts back to my family.
