I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh whoa
"Shut the damn thing off Juliet"
Nova groggily let out from under her mountain of pillows and bed sheets, referring to the alarm clock that was blasting the song by Natasha Bedingfield.
"Rise and shine" Juliet chanted and threw the curtains open, revealing a rainy outdoors.
"Never mind"
Nova got up looking at her wild brown hair in the mirror.
"I understand your nerdy self needs to be right on time to class and all" she tied her hair up into a ponytail "but you don't have to act so happy about it"
Juliet rolled her eyes.
"There's an assembly today, the headmistress has some huge announcement" it had only been one week till school has started again, Nova dreaded having to spend two months back home in New York so she spent them with Juliet in Connecticut.
Before she could answer Juliet's computer lit up.
"Why follow that stupid gossip blog? Everything there is a lie." Nova recalled the time they claimed she had plastic surgery when she had a bandage on her nose because she hit herself with a door.
"I know" Juliet huffed "but other than the useless (but entertaining) gossip, they have actual information about the school events"
Nova approached the computer
"Melanie Jackson hooking up with Charles Darwin" She read out loud.
Juliet proceeded to face plant on the floor in her rush to get to her computer, she quickly stood up and stared gape mouthed at the computer.
"No way" they both said
"Isn't he a guy?" Juliet exclaimed
"Do you know any girls names Charles?" Nova replied.
"Shut up, you know that having any relationships with the boys from St.Helen's isn't allowed. And most definitely not 'hooking up'" she said holding two fingers up in the air at hooking up.
"Who cares, her problem if she gets STD's if she doesn't already have them"
Juliet sat down to read the article any ways.
"I thought we had an assem-"
"Shush" Juliet said not taking her eyes off the computer.
"Alright then, I'm gonna shower" Nova got her stuff and headed to the dorm showers, she poked her head from behind the door.
"But fill me in on the dirt afterwards"

Nova and Juliet walked together down the halls of Ashford. The school was pretty old, located in Rhode Island at about a 20 minute drive from the nearest town.
Nova had been forced to come by her dad. She had been behaving a little rebellious after her mom died, but hell broke loose when her dad got himself a bitchy young girlfriend.
Juliet was thrilled to be there. She got herself a scholarship. Her parents didn't really care about where she or her brother went to school or ended up working, as long as they were making money. Her family didn't have a lot of money like everyone else at Ashford, so everyone looked down on her, except her best friend. Nova.
Looking around something was off. New people were piling into the assembly room, gradually more "new people" started to pile in until half the auditorium was filled with them.
Before Nova could let a comment out of her mouth, a familiar ball of hot pink came rushing toward them.
"Oh em gee! Oh em geeee!" The ball of hot pink (who's name was Carlie) squealed out.
