9 chapter 8

"Nova?" I heard Blossom's musical voice fill my ears. "Wake up."

I squinted my eyes close, "C'mon, Novaaaaa." I heard Vanessa voice on the other side, is this a dream or real life? I opened my eyes, and everyone was staring at me.

"What are you guys doing here? What time is it?" I asked the girls.

"9." I groaned and lay back down.

"I need at least one more hour of sleep."

"Nope! We've got a full day planned, and it starts now!" Stella said, removing my comforter all the way off me.

I sat straight up and looked at her, death glare, I heard Zane's light laughter from the door frame, and there he stood, he now tried to hold back his laughter.

"I have to take a shower," I told them standing up and walking to the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I brush my teeth and look at my hair. I seriously need to do something about it, Need to make it a little bit more Jupiter, and a little less gothic horror.

I walked out of the shower and into my room and laying on the bed were clothes, I'm assuming the girl picked out for me, It was a pink crop top with long sleeves and you lace it up in the front with deep v neck, and light denim mom jeans, a thin belt with white platform sandals, and the light pink lace underwear I got yesterday.

I put on the outfit, staring at myself in the mirror, what would add a little more to it, I chose that my mom's small gold earrings would do the trick, and I placed them in my ears and walked down the stairs, to everybody in the kitchen.

"See, I told you that outfit would be cute," Nessa told Rose, Rose rolled her eyes.

"Okay, so we have a full day," Rose told me as she sat up, fixing her light blue tube top, it had a butterfly in the middle of the top, she rearranged her black sweatpants. "We're gonna go get your hair done."

"And then, we're gonna show you some stripped moves!" Stella eagerly told me, She was wearing a white dress with small dark pink flowers on them and it went to her upper thigh and the dress had tank top sleeves.

"And then we're going to come back here and watch our favorite movies as I said before. We're going to Movietown after we get your hair done." Rose smiled.

The front door slammed shut, "Sorry, I'm late again." Adele said walking in, wearing a black shirt, dark burgundy skirt with buttons all the way down the skirts, and thigh-high black boots.

"Where are we going to get my hair done?"

"My aunt actually owns a place on the good side of town>' Rose said, a tad bit of disgust put in her voice when she said good side.

"Zane, can you drive some of us there?" Nessa asked, she was only wearing a Nike Sweatshirt and mom jeans.

"Of course, Nessa," Zane said popping, a strawberry in his mouth.

"Alrighty,"

"So, what are we waiting for, Let's go." Blossom told us, wearing a purple and white tye dye crop tank top, and light blue jeans with a silver thin belt, and boots.

All the girls started to walk to Zane's car, I stayed back a little longer.

"You might want to hurry up if you want the front seat." I smiled at him, popping one of the strawberries he had in his hand into my mouth.

"C'mon, slowpoke!" I yelled with a laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~

I looked in the mirror at the salon, they washed my hair and dyed black again, it looked better than when I did in the gas station, the front two strands that shaped my face were now a deep raspberry red, the curls in my hair made it look like the red was everywhere,

"I like it," I said to the girls and Zane. I wonder where Nash was.

"Yeah. You look too fucking cute." Stella said, grabbing a piece of my hair and combing it with her fingers.

"Yeah, it looks good, Jupiter," Zane said, looking up from his phone.

"Okay, so Movietown is next door, Let's go over there," Nessa said,

"She has to pay, first," Kai told me. I open up my wallet, and count out 300 dollars, and put them on the counter.

"Miss, this is all for you to keep the change," I said to the hairdresser that I did my hair, and I walked out of the store with everyone.

We went to the MovieTowne next door.

"Okay, if they don't have our favorite movies, we can just rent them on Roku." Adele shrugged.

"I totally forgot that we could do that," Rose said, hitting her head with the palm of her hand.

"Well, already here so why don't we look for our favorite movies."

"Nash is here just in time too," Zane said, watching Nash walk through the door, Zane walks to them and does a handshake, oh my god, I want a handshake with Zane now.

"Alright, let's go on the hunt." One of my favorite movies is The Shining. So, I'm gonna go look for it there.

I walked over to the Horror Section, where Nash was looking at the movie, "The Exorcist."

I walk up to him, thinking, maybe the shining would be over there.

"Hey, Nova." Nash greeted.

"Hey, Nash? Is the Shinning over there?" I asked. He picked a black DVD case marked with taking and a sharpy and in messy handwriting it read, the shining.

"Thanks," I told him and grabbed the disk from his hand.

"You like old horror?" He asked.

"Yeah, of course, and I can see you do too." Adele was on the other end of the horror section, looking at the movies.

"Yeah, I have always loved the exorcist ever since I saw it when I was 8."

"Yeah. I saw, The Shining when I was 7 with my siblings, nobody but I slept for like a whole month." I laughed to myself.

Adele came up to us with her black DVD holder, "What do you get?"

"Insidious."

"I got mine, how about everyone else?" Rose said holding up her movie.

"What is it?"

"Mean Girls," Rose responded by putting it up to the lady, Zane came back holding Fast and the Furious.

"That's your favorite movie." He shrugged.

"One of them." He said placing it on the counter, he all passed the movies up.

"What did you get Kai?" I asked her.

"50 first dates." She answered,

"I love that movie, too," I told her, and she smiled at me.

"How about you, Blossom?"

"Pretty Women,"

"That's actually a pretty good movie," Adele stated.

"I haven't ever seen it actually," I told her.

"Good thing, you're seeing tonight, or else we couldn't be friends." Blossom laughed.

"Nessa, what did you get?"

"Back to the Future,"

"Every movie night." Nash groaned.

"What did you get, oh let me guess, the exorcist." Vanessa rolled her eyes. "So, I'm not the only one who's predictable now." She faked yawned at Nash.

"Stella, what did you get?"

"Clueless." She said a proud smile.

I think I asked everyone what they got,.

"Now, to the Strip Club," Rose said, with the bag of movies after paying the lady. "Can I ride with you, Nash?" Rose asked a sweet tone filled her voice.

"Of course, you can Rosie," Nash said. I've never heard anyone call Rose, "Rosie" before now.

Rose got in Nash's car, and the rest got into Zane's.

"Are Rose and Nash going out?" I asked Zane, as we all buckled in. I sit in the front seat of the car, and the rest sit in the back of the white SUV.

"They're thinking about it," Zane told me.

"I like them together." I smiled at Zane, he nodded and started to pull out going to the Strip Club.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, so you're gonna want to put your leg around like this." Rose was in nothing but shorts and a lace bra, her leg wrapped over the pole and her arm on swang over it. She was at the main pole, and I was at the silver ones in the back.

I had my jeans on still but only my lace bra on too, My leg was swung over and my arm was too, Rose pushed her leg and went swinging around the pole, she did so gracefully, elegant, and then stopped, planting her foot on the ground.

"See, now you try." I laughed, and I tried to kick myself off the ground, and it didn't work, I ended up following.

"Rose, why don't you try, her just spinning and working your way up to that?" Kai said, cleaning the glasses.

"I guess, that makes sense." Rose put her arms around the pole and spun. I sat up, I already fell 6 times.

"Well, we have a shirt tonight."

"I have what? I barely can stand on the stage and you want me to do what you guys do?"

"It's not that hard, we'll find you a good song, and you're going on right before Adele."

"What, about Birthday Sex?" Kai called out.

"I actually know that song," I said back walking up the main poll, and grab it with both hands, and try again, to just get around it, and this time, I didn't fall.

"Omgoodness! You did, Nov." I put my feet hard on the ground.

"We still have some work to do before tonight!" I said, trying to put my foot over the pole and arms the same way.

~~~~~~~

I breathed out, trying to hype myself in my head. My hands were still shaking with nervousness, and my inside felt knots, I breathed out trying to calm myself down when I felt a strong pair of hands grab me into the next room.

"Nova, you're shaking," Zane said, concerning tone.

"I'm nervous," I told him.

"You're gonna do great out there, I took a sneak peek and you look good." He smiled, I hit his arm playfully, he wasn't supposed to see till the show. "Just make eye contact with me, while you're up, they'll do great." Zane smiled, Blossom was done with her dance and they're about to call mine, star. Or that's what Nessa told me she picked out for me.

"Okay, Nov. You got this." Rose smiled giving me a thumbs up like everyone else, I started to go out on the stage wearing nothing but a small black robe over my light pink lace underwear set.

"Now, this girl is new, just starting tonight so let's show some love to Star." I stepped out, bare-footed because I couldn't even take a step in those heels, so I just didn't wear any.

I walked out, trying to be as confident as I could, I walked up the pole, and wrapped my arm around and did a little spin, around it.

I walk up to the front of the stage and untie my robe. I try to find Zane's brown eyes, there, he's sitting at the bar watching, I turn around and walk over to the pole, tightly holding it with one leg, I move my back and let my arms fall down and the robe with him, and then I put my around the pole and lift myself up wrapped the other one around it.

I kept my eye contact with Zane the whole time, I got off and grind the pole and then I walked to the front of the pole and bend over, and shake my ass and bend down, and go back up and then I went back to spinning on the pole slightly.

The men were all throwing money at me, but I kept looking at my friends, I honestly have never felt this way about other people than my family. I didn't mean for it to happen but it felt like, fate? I don't know but then the song ended, and I grabbed my robe slowly bending over to do so, and then walked off.

"That was so fucking awesome," I yell to the girls., the biggest smile on my face.

"Didn't think you had it in you, kid," Nash told me, and I shook my head and talked to the girls.

~~~~~~

We were all in the basement laying on the very large brown couch, Rose and Nash were on the other end sharing a large brown and blue blanket, Rose's head was Nash's shoulder, and Nash's arm was around Rose's shoulder,

Stella was sitting next to Blossom And Kai. Stella was using a red and white Christmas themed blanket, and Blossom and Kai were using a green blanket with little white sparkles all over them. Vanessa and Ade;e was sitting close to me and Zane, they were under their own blanket, it was thick and it was red and blue with a large picture, I couldn't see what was, Zane and I were sharing our blanket, it was a big enough to comforter for a bed, and it was plain grey, 

I was snuggling into Zane's side, his arm was around me and the foot went up on the couch, I felt Zane's head on top of mine.

I hadn't ever felt this way about anyone, not even Leo. Zane is much different than Leo, or what I've gotten from him. Zane is I don't know but he's something.

"So, what movie do you guys want to watch first?" Kai asked.

Our phones were all turned off and in a bowl at the end of the stairs, Rose stood up and had a hat, a random ass hat.

"Nova, since this is your first movie night you can pick which one you watch first." I reach into the hat, and pull out a small folded up piece of paper, I unfold and neat writing reads, "mean girls."

"Mean Girls," I called out, and Rose jumped up and smiled, doing a little dance while walking to put it into the DVD player.

The only thing this is missing is my family, Eli would probably say a quote from the movie, "She doesn't even go here" was her favorite line, Lucine would tell us to be quiet before the movie is even in the player.

Mars, the oldest brother would tell Lucy to shut up because she was being a bitch, Lily, the youngest after Mars would tell him not to say "Bitch", Aspen would laugh and continue to say Bitch until My mother would tell him if he doesn't stop she won't give him any of the popcorn, and while she was talking about that Rowan, the youngest brother would be eating the popcorn and the youngest of us all Dove would just sit there, looking at us all like we're crazy while My dad was putting in the movie, soon my siblings and most things will go back to normal besides my mother and father not being there.

But, I could handle that.

I could handle anything.
