The Center Of Every Star

Chapter 8: Stupid Earthlings

*Andromeda's POV*

I wonder why Noah thinks that Aster dislikes him... After all he did allow him to stay in our house...

In Emera, children are required to move out of their parent's home at the age of 15.

I waited until Aster came home to confront him about what Noah had told me. Aster walked in through the door and saw me sitting on the couch, waiting for me.

"Hey Andromeda, how was your day?" He asked, setting down his briefcase on the sofa.

"It was good, how was work?"

"I had a nice day; I made a couple sales on my route." He answered, plopping down next to me.

"Do you not like Noah?" I blurted out, not able to contain myself any longer. Aster looked back at me, a confused look on his face.

"No of course I do, Noah's a great guy." He answered, slightly too quickly. I quirked my eyebrow up, looking back at him.

"Okay, thanks for answering." I said, slight disbelief running through my mind. I walked out of the living room and back to my bedroom.

I wonder why he seemed slightly uncomfortable on the subject.

I brushed it off and lay down on my bed, stared up at the ceiling, and slightly frowned.

Earth was contacting Noah. What if they took him back home?

*Aster's POV*

Andromeda walked away and out of the living room, allowing me to let me take a deep breath, and wipe the fake smile off of my face.

How dare that little Heliotic tell Andromeda that I dislike him?! I was lucky he didn't mention the incident after the movie. Well that kid is about to learn a lesson.

*Noah's POV*

I was laying on my bed, but bolted upright as soon as Aster stormed in, anger splattered all over his face. He slowly began walking toward me, a menacing look on his face. I slowly walked backward, until I slammed into the opposite wall.

"How dare you tell my sister that I disliked you? You think that you can win her over me?! She is my sister and she will always look up to me. She will always take my word over yours. You're lucky I told her that I thought you were a decent guy." He snarled, gripping the front of my t-shirt.

"You better stay away from my sister on a personal level Sharman." He got closer and closer to me. He jabbed me in the chest with every word he said. I smacked his hand down, rage running through my veins.

"Get your goddamn hand off of me jackass." I hissed through gritted teeth. He chuckled.

"Oh, you think you can take me Noah Sharman? " He laughed once more.

"You think you, a little stick, can take me?! I am so much stronger, and so much bigger than you are. You, a little earthling cannot take me you little idiot." He landed a punch smack dab on my nose, causing blood to flow out and onto my shirt. I tried to fight back, but he caught my punch mid swing. He grabbed me by the collar and flung me around to face the other direction.

"You earthlings really are stupid." He said, chucking me down atraight into the desk. I felt the back of my head come in contact with the sharp wood, and the coolness of the blood dripping down my skull.

My eyes slowly fluttered shut as a black wave of unconsciousness engulfed me.
