nova's pov :

"he didn't say what time..."

"what?" ethan chuckles, confused

"he didn't say what time!" i spring up from the bed

grabbing my phone quickly, ethan runs up to me and grabs my phone.

"ethan! now is not the time!" i yell, jumping up and down trying to grab my phone out of his reach

"ah, ah, ah. you gotta tell me what you're hiding." he smirks

"i'm not hiding anything." i huff

his eyebrows raise, doubting my statement and i roll my eyes, chuckling.

"one day, your eyes are gonna stay like that. i can't even count how many damn times you've rolled your eyes at me." he points at my eyes

"because you're mean!"

"stop acting like a kid and tell me." he demands

"me? a kid! you're making me tell you my plans just to get my phone back!"

he deeply sighs and stays in his position, making me groan in frustration.

"i'm going on a date with tyler. he didn't tell me what time he's gonna pick me up-"

"date? like a... date date?"

"... yes ethan." i laugh

his other hand reaches up to tugs at the roots of his hair but i pull his hand down, stopping him.

"why are you mad?" i laugh, confused

"i'm not."

"but you're-"

"nova. why would i be mad." his arms flop down and he tosses my phone on the bed

his arms cross across his chest, making him look taller. not caring about my phone, my focus remains on ethan, confused about his reaction.

"it's just... i don't know. my best friend is going on a date."

"ya... and?"

"can i come?" he suddenly asks

"what the hell? no! absolutely not!"

"why not? you came with me for my dates."

"because you told me to ethan!"

he groans and tugs at the roots of his hair. his shirt goes up in the process and i look away, knowing i'll blush for no absolute reason.

shaking my head about the thoughts popping in my mind, i grab my phone off the bed and text back tyler, ignoring ethan's presence trailing behind me.

"what time are you coming?"

after sending that text, i toss my phone back on the bed and anxiously bite my nails.

"why are you so nervous." ethan laughs

"i've never been on a date e!"

"what about that date to spy on lauren." he smirks

"that was fake."

he nods, agreeing and falls back into the bed.

"what am i gonna do without my best friend for four or even more hours?" ethan groans

"you ditch me all the time for alison so that shouldn't be a problem."

"i said i was sorry n." he pouts

"i know, i know. i'm just teasing." i chuckle

he shakes his head and tickles my sides, making my legs shake, resulting to me falling back on the bed with ethan falling on top of me.

"ethan! s-stop!" i laugh

he laughs and let's go, finally letting me get a breath of air. still laughing, i look up to meet his eyes and he smiles and stares into mine. my heart rate picks up and he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear.

snapping back to reality, i push him off me gently and shake my head.

"i-uhm... i have to go."

i grab my phone and walk out the door with my key card, not bothering to hear what ethan might be saying.
