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.
