Heartbroken

Chapter 2

Nova's POV

I wait at the bus stop with Oct, scrolling through my instagram. I get a message from my best friend, Riley.

Riles: hey i wont be on the bus tdy

Nova: y😢

Riles: bcs johns coming to pic me up 😍

Nova: oh god sis calm down. just bcs ur bf got a car doesnt mean u can ditch me like that😭

Riles aw, dw sis. im not ditching u. ight johns here byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nova: mhm. u just ditched me

Yea, those are how our texts go, usually. I know, for best friends, those texts are weird. But, whatevs, thats my life. I plug in my earbuds and listen to a random song on my phone. The bus arrives at 7:14, and we get on. After a few stops, we reach the stop that I always wait for...

My boyfriend's stop. His name is Jake. John and Jake are best friends, just like Riley and I. They are both on the basketball team, and pretty good. They are the best players on the team, actually. Yea, I know, you are probably wondering how Riley and I, the two most unpopular kids in school got together with the most popular people? Yea, I wonder that too. Apparently, I am pretty. Sorry, but I am not that pretty. Decent is more like it. I am the least popular girl, as I said before, but whatever.

"Hey babe." Jake says as he comes to sit next to me.

"Hi baby." I reply. He kisses me lightly on the lips, and I giggle.

"So, how was your summer?" he asks.

"Babe, I called you legit every week. Come on, you know everything that happened."

"Novaaaa" he drags my name. I chuckle at his childish behavior.

"What?" I ask innocently.

"You don't know what?" he asks. I shake my head, and he gets a mischievous grin on his face.

Oh shit, I am so screwed.

And right when I think that, he starts to tickle the hell out of me and I can't stop the giggles spewing from my mouth.

"Ah, stop, please," I try to say to him between my laughs. Finally, he stops and I am able to catch my breath. We sit in the back, so no one really heard us.

"Dude, we are on the bus, calm down babe." I say to him, playfully swatting him, remembering when I met him. He was a complete jerk when we met. Then, we started to talk more, and then it was love. Yea, I probably sound very cringy right now, but I could care less. I moved here last year, because of my mom's work. I was bullied in my previous school, because I was a nerd. Here, I was welcomed. Well, at least by a few people anyways. I found great best friends and an awesome boyfriend. What more can I ask for?

"Babe, where's Drew?" I ask Jake.

"Oh, he moved."

"Oh, really? Nice."

Drew is one of my really good friends. He is a senior, one year older than me. His sister and my brother were dating. Since he moved, I will have Jake, John, and Riley with me this year and the next. I love Jake and he loves me. Life couldn't be more perfect than this.

Or so I thought...

Hey. Honestly, I have no god damn clue how to write this story rn. I am getting writer's block sm. And my mind's on so many things. Srry for the late update.
