1 FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

Nova's POV

On getting to school, I accidentally bumped into someone. I turned to see who it was and saw a boy who was at least four years older than me, wearing the same school uniform i was wearing meaning he attends my school. The boy had emerald green eyes which was rare in country D and Navy blue hair. He was holding a woman who had the same fair skin as him. She was tall and beautiful like a model. Merely looking at her i was hypnotized by her beauty. Anyone who saw her will immediately recognize her as a top notch but she didn't have the same eyes as him. 'maybe he got his eyes from his father' i thought.

I stared at the boy i just bumped into. The boy was really handsome but the way he returned my gaze was what creeped me out.'i wonder what he's thinking'. I was brought out of my reverie when my mother ,Madison Casey, asked me if something was wrong. I just told her Nothing while noding my head in a negative response. Afterall it seemed like they were waiting for someone. I mouthed 'sorry' to him and kept on moving with my mum. It was the first day at my new school and I wasn't willing to be late. We got to the school gate and my mum dropped me off. She already signed me into the school hence there was no need meeting the principal. She waved me goodbye and gave me a thumbs up which i returned back to her. I was feeling really nervous but i tried to hide it from my mum. I didn't want her to be upset after she talked me through before coming. I knew it didn't work because I saw how worried she looked before she left. I was very bad at hiding my emotions so it was really easy for people to read me like an open book and my mother was the best at it. I knew i didn't get that trait from my mother since she was very good at hiding her emotions so i figured it's from my father, Stewart Casey. My father left us after he found out my mother was pregnant with me. He didn't want to get married yet so he fled. At least that's what my mother told me. After that i wasn't really allowed to speak about him and that's the reason why I lacked so much information about him. I was really angry with him but that didn't stop me from being curious about his looks. I really wanted to know what my father looks like but i couldn't bring myself to ask my mum since i didn't want to step on her nerves. I walked through the hallway of my school mustering up all the courage i could and soon i was standing at the door to my class Grade 3 class 2. I wished myself goodluck and stepped into the classroom with my teacher, miss Blythe, following behind me. She asked me to give a self introduction and i obeyed. I turned to the class and said "Hi. my name is Nova Casey. I'm 8 yrs old and I don't really have any hobbies aside from making friends. So please let's be friends." I was expecting an ovation but didn't get one. Most of the kids didn't even bother to look at me. Just then i was instructed by miss Blythe to seat at the last lane close to the windows. I followed her instructions and sat there. Just then, a girl walked up to me and asked if she could sit with me. I nodded my head in response and then she sat.
