Nova Whales was lying flat on her bed texting rapidly to her best friend Lucie, when her dad came into the room looking angry as ever.
"Nova, I simply cannot tolerate this any longer." He said, mixing up some words like he usually did when he was angry.
"Tolerate what?"
"The fact I heard about Ellie's bag going missing."
"Relax, Dad, it was just a silly prank. it didn't mean anything."
"So the fact that she didn't get home on time because of her money was in that bag and she had to walk all the way home is what you call a silly prank?"
"... What do you want me to say?"
"That's why I have decided that I'm sending you off to a boarding school," he said, looking smug.
"WHAT??"
"Yes, my beautiful daughter Nova, I have decided with your mother. You are going to be sent to a boarding school." Nova couldn't believe her ears. Her. Boarding school? What would people think about her? Nova is going to a boarding school? This is not good, she simply had to go to her mum and beg her since her father was not listening to her. She rolled out of her bed and put on her night shoes, for it was simply 10 and her father had come to disturb her at her resting time. She fast-walked until she was at her mum's bedroom door, slamming it open.
"MUM!!!" she screamed, approaching her mother at her reading table.
"Yes, dear?" her mum said calmly, already knowing what the conversation was about.
"WHY ARE YOU AND DAD SENDING ME OFF TO A BOARDING SCHOOL?!"
"Because we want the best for you."
"If you want the best for me, you won't send me off to a random school. The best thing for me is for me to remain in Gallio and attend school in Kira."
"I'm sorry, but me and your father have already contacted the school and you'd be resuming on Monday. Don't worry, we have already made all the necessary arrangements, you'll be safe." Her mum thought, 'I'm glad I rehearsed for this conversation'.
"B-B-But Mummyyyyyyyyy. You can't do that... It's not right..." Nova said as she burst into huge wails and her voice started failing her. Her mother, seeing her expression, nearly fell for her trap until a tiny cough was heard from her husband, and she regained composure.
"I'm sorry, Novi, but it has already been agreed upon. Go to bed early because I will wake you up at seven, and you will start getting your suitcase ready. After all, today's Friday, and this was quite unexpected." Her Mother paused, seeming to be lost in thought, "and I would have your phone too. I'd give it back to you on Sunday morning before you go so you can use it to communicate with us."
"NOOOOOO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT."
"Nova Anya Whales," Nova's full name sounded odd in her mouth. So Nova Flinched.
"But Lucie and I are on a 479-day streak on Snapchat, and I don't have pro, so I can't regain it. Unless... you can get the pro for me."
"Young lady, you would immediately hand over your phone before you regret it," she continued.
"Bu-"
"NOW!!"Nova having no choice, headed back to her room and started texting Lucie about what was going on.
Me
*Girl, you won't believe what's happening.
Pokie
*What's going on?
Me
*My parents are sending me off to a boarding school!! I'm leaving on Monday.
Pokie

*Exactly and she also told me to give her my phone so I would have to go in a minute.
Pokie
*Girl, we have a 479 day streak!!!
Me*Ik...
Pokie
*This is unbelievable ngl
"NOVA!!!" her mum's voice called.
Me
*Sorry but I've got to go if I want to be able to talk to you on Monday.
Pokie
*Ok... I honestly cannot believe. Bye
Me
*Bye. I'm gonna miss you loads
Pokie
*Me too.
Gabriella turned her phone off and headed back to her parents' room and handing her phone to her mum.
"Don't forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed." Her mum said giving her a peek at her check.
Nova's Pov:
My pillow's soaked with tears now from my constant crying. I can't sleep and can't believe. I can't believe they would send me away like this. I can't believe it and I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!
More sobs leave me. I can't help it, I'm broken to the point of disbelief.
Didn't they think before they did this? A boarding school? Didn't they realise that I would leave my friends? My life? For what? All because I pulled a legit prank on Ellie, my whole life's getting messed up? I hate this so much, I hate the fact that I'm going to leave my luxurious room and start staying with roommates. A bunch of random people to use me for my money and be all fake! Fake, fake, fake people! All fake!
I hate my life, I hate my parents, I hate this new boarding school I'm going to and I hate every single person who helped and thought it was advisable to pull me from my life and dump me somewhere garbage. I HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE! I NOA ANYA WHALES HATE EVERYONE ON THIS PLANETTTTTTTT! Except my friends, of course.
But seriously though, this isn't happening, my life isn't being ripped-
Wait, wait, wait. I know what's going on. It's a dream, I'm going to sleep and wake up tomorrow, and everything is going to be fine. Nothing would change, I would have my usual Saturday of shopping, gaming, eating out and going out to the gym. Yes, all I need to do is sleep.
And with that, Nova's wails came to an end as she lay her head on her pillow and fell asleep. Waking up the next day and realising her life really has changed. With nothing to say about the matter, she placed her stuff in her bag and prepared herself for life in a boarding school. Leaving on Sunday as early as possible and vowing to have a great time and make something out of herself. Only...
