A $5 bill five different lives

Nova

Nova Hernandez is a 16-year-old girl from Arizona who lives with her Mom, Dad, and older sister.

She works as a cook at a fast-food chain.

While she's not at work, she likes to do stuff with her girlfriend Jimena Flores.

The two met at an after-school activity and have been dating for six months.

Today, Nova and Jimena are at their local park on a walk.

The weather that day was clear, sunny, and hot.

It wasn't unbearably hot, but just enough for the ice cream truck to be making its rounds.

"Babe," Jimena says. "Let's go get ice cream."

"Alright," Nova replies.

Nova's dad tries to give her some date money she can spend on herself and Jimena.

Two five dollar bills, and a 10.

The two walk to the truck and look at the menu.

Jimena gets a cookie n' cream ice cream bar and Nova gets a snow cone.

"Are you gonna pay or am I?" Jimena asks.

"I'll pay, I got the money for it," Nova replies.

Nova takes a five-dollar bill out of her crossbody purse and hands it to the person in the truck.

She and Jimena take their treats and sit on a bench to eat them.

After, they continue their park date.

This is the end of Nova and how she spends her five dollars.
