We Got Turned Down, We Failed, Had Set Backs, Had To Start Over A Lot Of Times. But We Kept Going At It. In Anybody's Case That's Always The Distinguishing Factor. - Nipsey Hussle 💙🙏🏽

"You really got me going to this shit." Chris grumbled sliding a jean jacket over his baby pink hoodie.

Nova continued applying mascara to her lash extensions she had gotten while she was in San Francisco. She somehow managed to tune Chris's complaining out ever since he arrived at her house, which was about an hour ago.

It was now the Saturday of Aaliyah's gender reveal, which was the weekend after Chris and Nova were in California. They had gotten back to Texas late Tuesday evening. Nova was officially set for college; all the other things she had to complete were small ones- like packing, shopping for books and supplies, buying things for her side of the dorm- which she was somewhat dreading since she was going to be staying in a small room with a complete stranger- and other small necessities.

The more she thought about moving to a whole different state without anyone she knew or felt comfortable around, the more anxiety built inside of her each day. On the outside and to others she seemed really excited and prepared; but on the inside she was a complete wreck. She may have been somewhat prepared physically, but mentally was a whole different story. All of her previous actions about college was creeping up on her causing her to second guess herself a lot. She was trying to act like she wasn't fazed by the whole situation, which was working so far, but knew she wouldn't be able to keep the act up for long. Plus if she were to say how she were feeling about the whole situation there was nothing anyone could say or do to help; she realized that she wanted this for herself, so she had to deal with it herself.

Turns out making friends was going to just as hard as she predicted. Nova had tried to have some type of connection with the girl Kiara but the whole boyfriend situation with her made Nova not even want to be associates. So for the rest of the time she was at orientation she kept to herself; and for the rest of the trip she had Chris to keep her company so she didn't find a huge need to try and talk to anyone. Nova was hoping her roommate wasn't a complete freak so they could have at least a small friendship; it would be awkward to not have some type of relationship with someone you're basically living with.

Nova honestly just wanted to push college out of her head and enjoy the rest of her summer with people she loved and enjoyed being around; hopefully her anxiety and negative thoughts about the situation left her mind just for the last month and few weeks she had left in Texas.

"I really don't see why you're so pressed." Nova says putting a layer of lipgloss over her lips then turning her bathroom light off and walking out.
