Nova's POV:
Skip a week
The last week has be dreadful. Riley's been hanging out with Payton and sleeping over literally every night, she hasn't been home at all.
Payton and I haven't spoken at all. We have some awkward moments where we look at each other at the same time at the dinner table, or pass each other in the hall.
It's hard to have to always see them cuddling on the couch or making out with each other.
And god I wish these walls were thicker. I can hear everything that goes on in his room.
I mean we waited over a month to get to that part, they've been dating for only about a week, like c'mon.
Today from what I heard from Payton's room, yes I did listen into their conversation, but in my defence I wasn't trying to I just have good hearing and they have problems not being able to be quiet.
Anyways carrying on from what I've heard I guess Riley's leaving today because her family was complaining about how she's never home anymore.
It honestly just feels like I'm living the same day everyday. I wake up shower, do homework eat, talk to Harper and sleep. It's just so repetitive.
Currently I just finished up my homework. And now I'm going to go downstairs to get some food.
I walked downstairs to and headed to the kitchen. I decided to make grilled cheese because, I barley know how to cook anything but grilled cheese is something I can make.
I grabbed a pan, some bread, cheese and butter. And after about 15 minutes I successfully made a grilled cheese. I brang it over to the dinner table and started eating it.
I started thinking how bland my life is becoming. I gotta start doing things. Like seriously.
I can't get my mind off of Payton though. As much as I try to get him off my mind and just except that we are just friends, I can't.
I keep getting into an argument with myself about it. I can't expect being just friends, I feel like we aren't even friends anymore, he's been kinda just ghosting me.
My thoughts got interrupted from Payton and Riley giggling while walking down the stairs.
"Do you have to go" Payton pouted swigging Riley's arms from left to right. "Yes, my family misses me" Riley giggled.
"But I'll miss you" Payton pouted sticking out his bottom lip. "I'll miss you too, but I'll be back" Riley smiled pecking Payton's cheek.
She turned around about to walk out he door when Payton took her arm and spun her around and grabbed her waist pulling her in for a kiss.
The kiss lasted a good 45 seconds until Riley finally pulled away. I rolled my eyes and stood up and placed my dishes in the sink.
I had a feeling that they looked at me but I wasn't facing them so I don't know for sure.
"Well bye" Payton smiled giving Riley one last kiss.
"Bye, I love you" Riley said. "Love you too" Payton responded closing the door after Riley left. Payton sighed then went to sit on the couch.
I didn't say a word to him and just continued past him and up the stairs to my room.
I sighed and fell onto my bed. I should've never came to North Carolina. I should've just stayed home with my mom.
I've been here for about 4 month already and I've dreaded most of that time. Only 3 more months to go.
I honestly just need a break. A break from reality, reality is just to disappointing.
