Roommates
Daya didn't want to choose one over the other, it felt impossible to her. They were both her favorite people in the world and either of them could be her favorite on any given day.
However, there was something special about sharing a bunk with Nova. Daya would study with her when it was late and they were supposed to be in their quarters and Nova would always be there to hug Daya when she was having a nightmare. It was something special that Daya cherished more than anything else in the world.
"What's gonna happen when we move out?" Nova would ask one day as Daya clung to her, Korey still in their own classes. It wasn't Korey's fault that they were two years their elder but it did mean a lot more work.
"I won't let you leave me," Daya said, half joking and half not. "You and Korey are my best friends."
"I love you too."
