nova's pov (flashback) :
"we hosted this party! we have to go!" perla argues
i groan and fall back onto the couch, cuddling into my knees, rocking back and forth.
"i don't want to though." i murmur
"just because your husband and the witch is going, doesn't mean, you're not." grayson says
perla starts laughing loudly and i gasp in shock, tossing a pillow and throwing it at grayson.
"what was that talk you guys had yesterday?" grayson asks
i look over at perla to see her staring at me, her eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.
"he just... he wanted to ask why i was being so distant with him."
"did you tell him?" grayson smirks
"tell him what?"
"that you're in love with him dumbass!" perla waves her hands around
"are you crazy?! i'm never telling him. he's happy with alison."
they both sigh deeply and look at each other, shaking their heads.
"well we have to go to the dance. you and grayson decorated it and i made the posters and shit. we're going and that's final." perla states
i frown and get up from the leather couch, waving them off and getting into my car, going over to my place to get ready.
—
"just stick with us ok?"
i nod and play with the bangle ethan gave to me, feeling nervous. grayson slaps my hand gently away from the bangle and mouths a quick 'stop!'
i roll my eyes and bring my arms to my sides, playing with the fabric of my white dress.
"doesn't perla have a date?"
"ya, the guy who's been obsessed with her forever." grayson snorts
i shake my head and he laughs at my reaction.
"so i'm your date then?" he questions
"no. i'm like your sister and you're like my brother. that's weird." my eyebrows furrow
"just act like it."
"why?" i ask
"cause! some girl has been following me around since last week just please get her off my ass and be my date! we won't do anything. obviously." he cringes, teasingly
i punch him gently on the arm and he chuckles.
"hey grayson."
we turn around to see alison and ethan, hand in hand. i scan alison's dress and my daw drops at how amazing she looks.
of course he wouldn't pick me.
"you look amazing alison." i smile
"thank you nova! i love your dress." she grins
i nod my head, whispering a small 'thank you' and i look over to ethan who stares at me with guilt. he scans my body up and down, making me nervous so i hide behind grayson and he chuckles.
"what's wrong novs?" he questions
i point to ethan carefully and he looks over, chuckling even more.
"he's checking you out."
my eyebrows scrunch up and i look up at him, tilting my head.
"no he isn't." i chuckle in disbelief
"ok. whatever you wanna believe." grayson chuckles
