"Nova?" Kelly shakes me. I look away from him and down at my friend.

"Yeah?" I ask my mind foggy.

"Come on." She takes my hand and drags me to a secluded corner.

"What the hell!" She whispers and shouts.

"What?" I'm confused by her outburst.

Her eyes widen at me. "What the hell is Liam doing here?" Realisation takes over me.

"Oh!" I completely forgot that his name was called.

"Yeah 'oh'!" She flies her arms in the air.

"Maybe he's coming along like you are?" I shrug. She can see right through me and gives me a 'really' look.

"Please tell me he isn't in on all this too." She sighs.

I don't know what to say. Because he is. She takes my silence as my answer. Her shoulders slump in defeat as she frowns at the ground.

"Of course he is." She whispers sadly.

I rub my hand up and down her arm in a comforting manner. She lets out a sigh and composes herself. Looked at me like nothing ever happened. "Let's go." She smiles as walks ahead of me.

I follow behind her as we make our way to our group. The six of us all stand in a close circle and what I'm guessing to be our trainer stands in front of us all.

Kelly nudges my shoulder and points her head to the trainer. Oh, I know. He is tall and has muscles everywhere, his Sandy hair is pushed back showing off his defined facial structure. Pretty blue eyes, high cheekbones and a great jaw.

"He is hot," Kelly says rather loud.

"Agreed," I say as we both eye our trainer.

"Hey!" Eva comes up to us with a smile. I'd never met her before this, but I know everyone.

"Hey." Kelly waves to her.

"I don't know you?" Eve looks at Kelly trying to put a name to the face.

"Kelly." She holds her hand out for her. Eva takes it with a smile.

"You must be Nova. I've heard loads about you and your family." Eva turns to me.

"That's me." Eva looks back at Kelly confusion laced across her face.

"She's my friend." I break her away from staring at Kelly.

"Oh! That makes sense now."  She nods her head.

"So what were you guys talking about?" I and Kelly look at each other and then point to the trainer.

"He is hot," Kelly repeats her words. Eva stands next to Kelly so we're all facing him.

"Oh my. He is yummy." I nod my head still looking at him.

God took his time on this one.

"You know who is hotter?" Eva asks.

"Who?" Kelly asks.

"Blackwell." The moment she says his name my eyes dart over to him. He stands there looking rather angrily staring right at me.

"No way," Kelly says in awe.  I already know what she's going to do.

"That's the guy!" She shouts gripping my arm.

"Yes. That's him." I smile as she starts squealing.

"What about him?" Eva asks confused.

"She had sex with him!" Kelly shouts.

I close my eyes letting out a breath. Shout louder Kelly don't think the people on Mars heard you.
