Nova's POV
Our presentation went really well. We got a perfect score, the best in our class. Adam was right about Mr Samos' fascination with the Romanov family. He was holding on to every word that Luxe was saying.
"Pure perfection. You must take after your brother, Luxe. Next group!" Mr Samos called.
When we got back to our seats, Luxe muttered under her breath loud enough that I could hear her. "If anyone else compares me to my brother again I swear I'll actually vomit."
I chuckled and turned my view the new presenters. I had trouble paying attention to them, because I was too busy thinking of what Adam might be doing now that he's back at college.
I must have been daydreaming for awhile because the next thing I know the bell rings. Luxe and I pack our things and head out. Because its passing time, we can use our phones so I decide to check my Snapchat because I hate losing streaks.
When I open my phone, I notice a new text message from an unknown number. Adam.
A: How did your presentation go? Did Samos love it as much as I knew he would? 😏
Wow. Luxe was right. A bit arrogant.
N: yes. he loved the drawing and luxe did a great job with the oral section. :)
A: Well, to be fair, she only did well because I coached her.
N: hey, give your sister some credit. she worked really hard and i couldn't have done it without either of you so thanks 😉
A: Not a problem. Let me know if you ever need help again. 😚
"LUXE!" I shouted in her ear accidentally.
"WHAT!" She shouted back louder, not so accidentally.
"Look at the emoji your brother sent me! It's a kissing face!" I thrusted my phone into her face.
"That can also be interpreted as someone spitting. Plus, he could have sent that by accident instead of another one. That kind of thing happens. Point is, I know that you really like him and I can't imagine why, but I just don't want you to read into things. He will hurt you. I can guarantee that." Luxe said, trying to let me down gently.
I nodded glumly. Maybe things will all work out for us someday.
