You Will Get There When You Are Meant To Get There And Not One Moment Sooner....So Relax, Breathe, And Be Patient.

The pink highlighter ran across the notebook paper filled with many notes that would soon have to be deeply studied.

Nova sighs rubbing a hand down her face and continuing to write important notes for one of the many finals she had coming up. This week had been filled with nothing but stress for her; school was her main priority right now. Finals were in less than a week and Nova was determined to do more than a good job on them. Even if that meant staying up past 1 in the morning studying her life away.

A hand was placed of Nova's shoulder making her flinch a little and look up at who's dirty ass hand was on her.

"Sweetie, class ended five minutes ago." Nova's fourth period teacher says looking down at the student with concern. Nova cringed at her preppy voice before turning her head to the clock hanging from the wall, realizing that it was now lunch time.

"Oh, sorry." Nova chuckles packing up her things. "Just got caught up in something." She says before rushing out the class and into the lunch room, which is where everyone was sitting and making conversation.

"Where were you?" Kayla ask as soon as Nova had sat down in her usual seat beside Chris.

"Class, I didn't even hear the bell ring." Nova states opening one of her many notebooks and continuing on her notes, she was honestly just trying to keep herself busy.

Chris had noticed Nova's actions this last week; he had been coming to school with terrible bags under her eyes and looked half dead every time he saw her. Not to mention she was barely eating, Chris had offered many times to stop for breakfast and even for food after school. Her continuous response had been, "I'm not hungry."

"You look terrible." Ny'Asia says eating a hot fry while eyeing her friend from across the table.

"Well thanks. I do try" Nova sarcastically mumbles rolling her eyes and jotting down on the paper.

"You've been doing your homework everyday at lunch. I get you're in AP classes, but damn." Cydney says sipping  her strawberry lemonade.

"Finals is next week." Is all Nova says, tuning them out, and grabbing a blue Paper Mate pen out her pencil pouch.

"Are you hungry? Do you want anything?" Chris ask standing from his seat, and preparing to go over to the lunch line with Christian.

"I'm good." Nova states with a reassuring smile.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Aight." Chris huffs before following Christian over to the long lunch line. Due to a fun raiser being held at school, the school was selling Little Caesars.

"Are you Okay Nov? I'm serious." Aaliyah says placing a hand on Nova's shoulder. All Nova did was let out a small laugh and begin shaking her head.

"I'm fine guys, I'm literally acting myself." Nova says shrugging her shoulders.

"The bags under your eyes are noticeable from a mile away....you look like a fucking crackhead." Ny'Asia says, being her complete honest. She'd rather say it how it is rather than sugar coat anything.
