nova's pov :
"promise me we're not fighting on this trip." ethan holds his pinky out
"ethan. how am i supposed to promise that?" i chuckle
he glares at me and motions his head towards his pinky. i sigh and intertwine our pinkies.
"we're not even leaving yet. we have two days left here." i say
"i don't care. we're telling ourselves we're not fighting on this trip."
"ok but how would you know-"
"no nova!"
"how would you know-"
"guys! stop!" grayson yells
"you're already fighting like fucking animals and we haven't even left yet." perla rolls her eyes
— 2 days later —
"would you stop getting souvenirs? we live here nova." ethan groans
"but there's so many cool things ethan." i point at a teddy bear
he grabs my hand and my mind completely goes blank. he pushes me through crowds of people and catches up to grayson and perla.
"almost didn't make the flight." ethan points at me
i let go immediately of our intertwined hands, feeling guilty for some reason. ethan gives me a confused look but chuckles a bit after, taking my abnormal action as a joke.
"you ok?" he asks
he places a hand on my shoulder and i shrug it off immediately too.
"mhm." i murmur
the intercoms call for passengers who are going to greece and i grab my backpack, drinking my water awfully fast.
"you only drink your water that fast and then complain afterwards because you need to pee, when you're nervous." perla points out
"ya. you ok?" grayson asks
"i'm fine!" i whisper shout
i storm off without them and give a flight attendant my ticket. she hands me it back and i fast walk into the plane.
i see an awful lot of people shoving they're way through others to get to they're seats and to put they're own luggage away. i sigh deeply and get in line with people who look exhausted and irritated with anyone who passes by them.
i finally get to my seat and drop my backpack next to the seat. i look up to see a guy in the seat next to me.
i thought ethan sat next to me?
"hey. i think you might've been mistaken. i sit there." ethan points to the seat next to me and chuckles
"no. this is my seat." the unnamed guy proudly smiles
ethan's face turns stern and before he can say anything else i step in.
"can i check your ticket if that's alright?" i ask
the guy nods and hands me his ticket and he is supposedly in the right seat.
"he's in the right seat." i murmur
"what?! that's bullshit. i made sure that i was sitting here-"
"look man, it's not that big of a deal. unless, she's your girlfriend or something." the guy shrugs
ethan starts to get closer to the guy but grayson grabs him by his arm and shakes his head.
"let's just talk to a flight attendant and pick a new seat. why does it matter so much anyway?" grayson asks
ethan's mood turns gloomy and nods in response, following grayson.
my phone vibrates and i get it out of my backpack, seeing i got a text message from ethan.
"wanted to watch our fav movies together but guess that'll have to wait till greece :/"
i pout but chuckle at the message and look up to see ethan at a far distance. he gives me a thumbs up and then turns back around to talk to a flight attendant about his new seating arrangement.
"y'all a couple?" the guy asks
"no, no. just best friends." i smile
