Nova's pov:

9:23AM at the teacher's office,

"If you don't stop acting like this, we're going to have to take a strict action!" The teacher shouted from the top of his lungs. I rolled my eyes,

"You brat! don't you dare give me that attitude!" He slammed his hand on the table. What a loser, trying to scare an 18 years old high schooler by violence.

"Can I go now?" I asked, I can't bear another second in this damn room.

"Don't. Cause. Any. More. Trouble. Again." He warned me, not that I care. After what felt like an eternity I left the room and accidentally bumped into a girl.

"Blue head?" I mumbled, this isn't the first time I "accidentally" bumped into her.

"I-I'm sorry, senior!" She gave me an apologetic bow and ran away, like always. She reminds me of my pet budgie, tiny and blue. I saw a key laying on the floor and picked it up,

"Is it hers?" I kept it in my pocket and went back to my classroom. I'll give it back later.

9:35AM at the classroom,

After all that trouble, I finally got to come back. As soon as I entered the classroom, the students started gossiping about me, not that I give a shit. My seat was the one next to the window, the so-called protagonist seat.

"Where were you? I was looking for you everywhere!" Kian said, he is the guy who sits next to me and for some reason he kept following me around ever since I came here two years ago.

"At the teacher's office," I said, casually.

"Dude...what did you do this time?" He sounded really concerned.

"A teacher caught me smoking at the roof," I confessed. Kian took a deep breath and then he gave me this "fed up" look. "What? I was really stressed about something," I gave him a "I don't care"  look in return.

"You're gonna get expelled at this rate!"

"I won't."

"How can you be so sure about that?"

"I won't."

He rolled his eyes, "okay, you win!"

I smirked, "I always do."

"Don't get too cocky," he smiled, and nudged me with his elbow.

"I bumped into Clair again today," I said as I take my book out of my bag.

"Clair? Oh, you mean Luna?"

"Yeah, her"

"I still don't understand why you call her Clair."

"I don't know, maybe because she reminds me of Clair, my pet budgie,"

"You're weird."

"I know."

3:20PM on the way to home,

After the long day of school, me and Kian were on our way to home. I still don't understand why a smart and sane person like him wants to hang out with a guy like me. As I walk I was fidgeting with the keys that I found earlier.

"Whose key is that, Nova?" He asked

"What's with that question?" I rolled my eyes, "it's in my hand so obviously it's mine duh"

"Stop lying," He stopped walking and crossed his arms. "I know what your keys look like."

"Are you my wife?" I stopped walking too and turned towards him,

"I prefer hubby, thank you." he said in a sarcastic yet flirty tone.

I sighed, "It's Claire's" I confessed. "She dropped it earlier when we bumped."He looked at me with a concerned look.

"dude..why didn't you give it back? It could be important! What if she lives alone and she needs it?" He has a point. I didn't think about this.

"Look, I tried finding her, okay?" I looked down trying to avoid his gaze in embarrassment, I knew that its my fault in the end for not trying hard enough to find her.

He sigh, "what am I going to do with you?"

"I don't know, maybe anything that's appropriate?" I answered with innocent eyes.

"I can't promise you that." He laughed but it felt like he was...upset about something. "Look, you should still try to find her, do you have any idea where she lives?"

"Hmm I guess I saw her on the beach a few times before, maybe I should check?"

"Maybe, it's better than doing nothing."
