Chapter 3: Jerk

Nova's POV

Math class. Two words. Bore-ing

"That's actually one word Nova" Addie says

"Ughhh," I groan "annoying piece of shit"

Addie chuckles but then her face morphs into one of seriousness. "If you hate me that much, I'll just leave"

"Go ahead, the doors right there" I say sassily and point towards the door.

She gets up and stomps her way to the door, a very predictable expression on her face. 3...2...1

"Actually, its math and I need to study"

"Atta girl" I grin knowingly.

Spending just three years with her- two of which were only 'hi' and 'hello'-I know her ways like the back of my hand.

I know that whenever she tries to fool us, she has a hard time containing her laughter. I know that whenever she runs, she keeps one of her beside her in a folded position while the other fiddles with the hem of her shirt. I know that whenever she's concentrating hard, her eyebrows scrunch up. I know that every time she gets embarrassed, she smiles it off. I know that whenever I stare at her, she looks at me from her peripheral vision and raises a single eyebrow. I know that whenever I say something she doesn't like, she goes into mom mode. I know that whenever her paper goes bad, she sticks her tongue out and shakes her head. I know that whenever she's about to blush, she licks her lips and smiles. I know that she refuses when someone offers her food for the first time but takes it the second time. I know that whenever I point out something about her that she hadn't noticed herself, she becomes awkwardly frazzled and nods her head furiously. And I especially know that whenever she stomps her foot like that, she's not actually mad, she's just pretending to be.

Now I may seem like a stalker or something to you judgmental people, (not judging :P) but when you call someone your best friends, there are some traits that you come to learn without them having to tell you.

I spend the entire class staring at the clock, pouting, huffing, tapping my feet and tapping my fingers, whereas Addie decides to actually take notes. If you guys are wondering why I'm not taking any notes, I'll just ask Addie to send a picture of hers. That's how we roll. You already know that Addie's the nerd, thus she tops every class whereas I'm the carefree girl in class who cracks jokes, makes fun of teacher and stares at the clock like crazy yet I manage to get a good grade at the end of the year. That's an A.

As soon as class ends, I rush out of my seat, having already packed my bag and wait for Addie to exit the classroom. Staying in a room full of students for more than six hours is too much for me. It gets to congested. Addie soon came out, her bag hanging loosing on her shoulder. She gave me a tired smile and we made our way to the gate.

"What do you plan on doing this weekend?" Addie inquired

"Uh... I have this family dinner. I hate them because I have no one to talk to and I have to actually dress up for it. I mean, why can't I go in my pajama with my messy hair and no makeup?"

"Just for the record, I'm always online for you"

"Yeah but I might or might not have the phone. Also, my weird cousins has the tendency to poke their nose into others business" I say through gritted teeth

"Don't worry; I'll be right there for you"

-------

I hate this. The food is delicious yet I hate being here. People, way too many for my liking. My hair, a mess. My food, finished. My cousins, a huge pain in the butt. I wish Addie were here.

"Yeah Nova, it's like you have the phone in hand. And it's not like Addie told you that she'll be there for you." Do you ever shut up, brain? I didn't think so. "Yeah well, if I shut up, you wouldn't have any ideas would you?" Touché, brain. Well played.

I quickly fetch my phone from my pocket and call Addie.

"Addie Scott speaking, what is your distress?"

I chuckle at her childish antics and start speaking, "Hey Ad's, I have officially lost it. Too. Many. People. No Food. Sense my discomfort" I purposely make a sniffing sound

Addie tsk's through the phone and then she starts soothing me, "Don't worry, so tell me what are you doing? Where are you?"

"I'm currently on my aunts porch and I'm surrounded by children." I glance around me in irritation and catch one of my cousins' eye, "Speaking of, jerk # 1 just arrived."

I heard Addie speak through the phone but her voice was inaudible because jerk # 1 began speaking, "Who are you talking to? Your boyfriend maybe?"

"Are you kidding me? I don't have a boyfriend remember? Of course you don't. I'm talking to my best friend" I retort

"Are you sure?"

I shove the phone in his direction without any warning and he quickly presses it to his ear, "Hello?" he says in a seductive tone

After exactly one minute and twenty-four seconds, I snatch the phone from his hand and start apologizing profusely to Addie.

"I am so sorry once again, but you know as they say 'payback is a femal dog'"

"Hey you just quoted me!"

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did! I swear I said this the other day!"

"You might have but I'm definite I said this before you had ever said this"

"You liar!" Addie accused, a goofy grin on her face

"You're just jealous because I come up with better sayings"

"This is pointless, you're impossible"

"Impossibly Awesome!!!"

"Sure Nova, whatever makes you sleep at night" she rolls her eyes but laughs along with me
