Driiiiiing!

The school bell screeched through the halls and everyone made their ways to their classrooms, except me, of course. I was waiting for someone. Obviously he was going to be late, so I had to wait and skip class, not that it was much of a party anyway.

Now along came Sam Alexander, strutting like nobody's business. I rolled my eyes at his incredibly confident attitude. If he knew what I was going to do to him he wouldn't have come to school today.

"Sam Alexander, the guy who thinks he's too cool for the world." I glared at him.

"Kayla Rand, the girl who magically returns to ruin a friend's life." He returned the glare. "Aw, I'm not that bad, am I?" I put my hand to my heart, like I felt hurt. He rolled his eyes, "What do you want?"

"Oh nothing, just wanted to say that you've always seemed different to me. Unique. Almost Super heroic." "Super heroic you say." He smirked and put his hands on his hips. "Ya' know I am pretty heroic, save kittens, help children, heroic stuff." I raised a brow, "You also remind me of a superhero, hmm….what was his name, Spiderman."

I watched his face go red and smirked, "I'm nothing like that web-headed creep!" He blurted.

"And how on earth would you know that?" I asked innocently.

"I-I…uhhh…" He stammered and I chuckled, "Never mind Nova-Ah I mean Sam, do you have any interest in space?" I asked. "A-Are you trying to imply something?"

"No. Why are you acting so strange? It's not like we haven't interacted before, I seem to recall you dropping me 70 feet off the ground." He stiffened.

"Honestly it wasn't that hard, you have the same voices, Ugh these New Yorkers, so…stupid." I walked around him like a lion would to his prey.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" He gulped, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well then I guess you wouldn't mind if I shared my theory with the entire school." I started to walk away but he grabbed my wrist. Suddenly, a spark went off in my chest and I yanked my hand away.

"Alright, ya' got me, I'm Nova." He stared at me, "Are you gonna strike a pose now or-" "Are you gonna tell anyone?!" He freaked and my smirk grew wider.

"Depends." He raised a brow, "On?" "On what you can do for me." I replied.

"I want you to help me around until I get settled." He nodded, "That seems under-" "But, you have to do anything I say. Like a dog. And you don't tell anyone about our deal, or that I know your secret." He objected. "Alright then, Nova." I started to walk away.

"Wait!...I'll do it." I looked at him. He looked like a beaten puppy. I hate puppies.

"Alright, go now, meet me on the café on Calvin Street, tomorrow, 8 o'clock, sharp." "Fine." He scowled and walked away, "Hey Genius, your class is that way. He stopped midway and stayed silent.

"Well see ya' wouldn't wanna be ya'!"


I quickly pulled up my hair into a pony tail. It's half past eight and I still haven't made it out of my apartment. Putting my dagger into my bag and slinging it over my shoulder, I get out of my apartment and in the street. I didn't even walk two minutes until I was lifted off the ground.

"Wha!-What are you doing?!" I attempted to strangle my captor.

"Krgh-Kayla, it….meh." Nova tried to say. I crossed my arms, "I know!" I fidgeted. "Would you put me down now!" I struggled to get out of his iron grip but he held on tight.

"We're above water now so you can't go anywhere." I looked down. Crystal clear waters, sun glistening on it, and from a thousand feet up, I had the perfect view.

I clung onto him for my life, we're so high up and I can't swim. "Can we go now?" My voice came out muffled due to clinging onto him so hard. He smirked.

"Aw what's wrong? Big, strong tiger afraid of a little water?" I scoffed, "Yeah right! You wish! Now take me back you retarted superhero!" I crossed my arms.

"If I'm retarted I might do this." He released his grip on my and I shrieked. Falling towards the ocean, my breath raced out of my lungs, tears pricked at my eyes. At the last 5 feet, he swooped down and caught me. I immediately buried my face in his shoulder.

"Alright alright, I'm sorry, please don't drop me." I whispered. He hummed in agreement and flew us make to the mainland.

After we landed I still clung on to him. "You can let go of me now." He chuckled and I let go of him, "Someone's a scardey cat." He smirked.

I glared at him, "That's because I have Aqua phobia you jerk!"

He tilted his head to the side like a confused child. "It means I have a deadly fear of drowning." I tried to slow my heart rate.

"Oh! I'm really sorry!" He quickly apologized. I scowled at him, "What would you even do that to a person!" I sat down and hugged my body.

"I thought it would be funny." He laughed nervously.

"What's so funny about almost killing somebody?" I asked, my voice barely audible. I looked away. That really shook me up. I felt like a little girl, a little girl hiding under her bed trying to hide from monsters. I felt like I was a kid again. But back then I had Danny to rely on. I'm such a softie sometimes.

"Hey how about we met tomorrow at the café, 8 o' clock, sharp, no funny business, I promise." I looked at him. He had his helmet off now, and he was carrying a duffle bag which I assume he uses to keep his helmet in.

I sighed and stood up. "Fine but it's not like I forgive you or anything." "Yeah-Yeah."
