Chapter Six:

Nova noted her siblings stare and followed her gaze to see nothing in sight. "Nicole, are you ok?" Nova said waving her hand in front of her face. Nicole snapped out of her stare and just nodded solemnly as they walked down the dark halls.
It was particularly rainy today and most students had already started their first class of the day. After Nova had departed from Nicole, she busily ran down the halls to the library. As she entered, she spotted Tyler and Caleb sitting at one of the tables and shyly joined them. "Hey Nova," Tyler greeted her casually. Nova's head remained bowed and she gave him a small wave. The guys noted this and became confused.
"What's wrong?" Caleb said giving her a stern look. She gave them sad eyes and scratched the back of her neck. "It's Nicole. She said that she saw a hand mirror in our bathroom and she claimed she had cuts on her arm. But when I found her, she was just unconscious and well in physical health."
"So?" Tyler asked.
"The weird thing is Nicole and I don't own any hand mirrors."
Tyler had a confused thought racing through his mind while Caleb seemed unaffected. "Did she say anything else?" Caleb asked sternly. Nova shook her head, "Bring Scott and Nicole to the Colony House tonight. We need to find out more about that mirror."

As Nova walked to Calculus, she heard moans and stopped. She listened soundly again and heard they were coming from the Broom Closet. She leaned closer towards the door and heard voices. "Oh Reid," the feminine voice said. It was followed by a low growl. A twinge of jealously pierced Nova inside. Why am so jealous? I shouldn't be. I mean, it's not like him and I are together or anything. Less than that friends. I mean, come on we barely get along. Just as she was about to step away, another moan escaped the room and she felt anger overwhelm her causing her to wretch the door open. The sight before her just made her even angrier. There was Reid kissing some redhead on her collarbone, her shirt wide open. Once the two noticed Nova was there, Nova had grabbed the redhead and wretched her out of the closet, pushing her against the wall. She screamed and her eyes went black before Nova strongly punched the girl in the faces. Blood poured from the girl's face and tears escaped Nova's eyes. Just as Nova was about to punch the junior again, she felt someone grab her fists and spun her around. "What the hell are you doing?" Reid's voice growled as he gave her a solemn stare. His eyes seemed fierce.Why am I doing this? she asked herself. She wretched her fists from his grasp, picked up her books and ran down the hall. I can't love him. she silently screamed in her mind as she continued to class.
As Nova bustled away, Reid noticed she dropped one of her notebooks. He bent down to pick it up and looked around. Nova had disappeared from sight. He opened it and skimmed the pages until one suited his fancy.

Colors Of My Heart

Verse 1:

I'm here tonight
Come take me away
Hold me tight
And say the things you meant to say

Bridge:

So hold my hand now
Cause I'm falling for you somehow
And this moment right here
I have nothing to fear

Chorus:
I love you so (and we have so much to talk about)
And I can't let you go (cause you're all I think about)
Just wrap me up and take me away
And we'll paint the colors of our hearts today
Oh yeah, today
Oh yeah

Verse 2:

You've been so good to me
And I treat you so carefully
The tears on my pillow are gone
So now I write you this song

Bridge

Chorus

Breakdown:
Your embraces mean so much
And all I wanted was your touch
Call me crazy but it's true
I have fallen in love with you
In love with you

Chorus (x2)

I'm here tonight, so take me…away

Just as he was about to turn the page, he spotted scribbling in the corner. Mrs. Nova "Evangeline" Garwin, it read. He looked down the far end of the hallway and smirked. She loves me, he thought to himself and immediately understood. She loves me.
