Heartbroken

Chapter 3

Nova's POV

"Babe, wake up," Jake says while shaking me.

I sit up, and realize that we are at school. I had fallen asleep on Jake's shoulder. And he just woke me up. I mean, hey, come on, I slept at like 2 last night watching the volleyball game. We both get up, and get off the bus, walking towards the school, hand in hand. Jake looked deep in thought.

"Jake, are you ok?" I ask him. He looks at me.

"Mm-hmm." he replies. I know something's off, but let him be... for now.

We walk to my locker, and Jake stands there, looking at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You have something on your face." he says to me.

"Oh shit, is it maple syrup? I practically shoved pancakes down my face this morning. Why didn't you tell me this morning on the bus Jake?" I freak out.

"Nope." He says calmly, popping the 'p'.

"Then what is it Jake?"

"Never mind, its just pretty."

"You are such an idiot," I say to him, playfully smacking his shoulder and laugh.

"Ugh, stop flirting, my eyes and ears are bleeding." I hear Riley's voice. I roll my eyes and greet her with a bear hug and John with a wave. Jake and John do the boy handshake thing where they hold each other's hands and then slap each others backs.

"So, how's life?" I ask Riley and John.

"The usual," they both reply at the same time.

"Jinx, knock on wood, black magic!" Riley says to John in two seconds as she knocks on the door to the classroom right next to my locker. Jake and I chuckle as John silently whines. We are all babies, yes, I know.

****

It was finally lunch time, and man, was I hungry. Riley, John, Jake and I sit at the same table, as usual. October and her boyfriend, Matt, came to sit with us as well. I had a weird feeling about Matt, like he was cheating on Oct or something, but I never said anything to her about it. I mean, she probably won't believe me anyways, so whatever.

The bell rings, snapping me out of my thoughts. I get up and walk with Riley to our next class, science. I really like science, because...well, I really have no clue why. But I like it.

"Hey, you have tryouts today, right?" Riley asks me about volleyball tryouts.

"Yea," I reply. She nods.

After science, I have a free period, and then study hall. I'm at my locker when I feel two arms wrap around me. I smell Jake's scent, and turn around.

"Are you trying out?" he asks me, referring to the volleyball tryouts. I just nod my answer.

"Jake, imma be late if I don't go now." I say. He whines and lets me go though.

I walk to the girls locker room to change for tryouts, and then walk out into the gym. The volleyball nets are set up.

"November Rainhart" I hear my name being called and reply with a here. Mrs. Lock, the volleyball coach, then divides us into teams and we play. She watches us closely, writing things on her clipboard as she walks around the gym.

After tryouts, I text mom to come pick me up. She texts me back, saying she will be here in ten minutes. I just sit on the bench in front of the school, on my phone as usual. I look up when I hear a car approaching, and see my mom. I wave and walk to the back of the car. I throw my sports bag into the trunk, and hop in front.

"How were tryouts?" mom asks.

"Good as usual, im tired as hell tho." I reply.

"November Topaz Rainhart, what did I tell you about your language?" my mom says.

Yea, well, remember when I said that she was a hypocrite? well, she curses, a lot, but when Oct or I curse, she goes all, November Topaz Rainhart and October Opal Rainhart, mind your fucking language. And we both go, but you curse so much, it's bound to rub off on us mom. Yea, we are babies. Wait, I already said that. But, whatever.

"Is not what I'm gonna say," she continues. I look up at her in shock.

"Who the hell are you and what did you do with my mom?" I ask.

Mom chuckles before responding. "You know, Harry was allowed to curse from this age, though I am pretty sure you and Oct have done it since lord knows when, right?"

"Wow. And, yes, we did." is all I can think of as a reply. She chuckles, and we drive home with me singing to random songs on the radio.
