Love As Sharp As A Knife

I.

Note: The sentences that are italicized are Nova's thoughts. There's also a lot of cussing in this book, read at your own discretion.

Nova's POV

**Ring Ring* *Ring Ring**

"Ugh." I groaned, wanting to stay in bed longer. I knew I had to be up and get ready for school, but I just wanted to stay in bed all day. I decided to get up and looked in the body mirror seeing my long hair, brown and dyed pink tips, all over the place. I then decided to get in the shower real quick before school since my alarm was for 6:30 am, and class didn't start until 9:00 seeing as I'm a senior. After my shower, I decided to wear something light because it was hot in Arizona although, I don't live in the hot and sunny parts of Arizona. I wore a cropped black tank top with denim shorts, a long black hoodie and my black shoes.

I know a lot of black but since its my favorite color why not, plus I'm not trying to impress anyone, well except Ty. Ty likes when I wear my comfortable clothes.

I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs to feed my dog, and let her stay in the backyard until I got home from school. I live by myself so no one else would take my dog, Ginger, out and feed her.

*Ring Ring*

I looked at my phone to see Ian, my best friend calling me.

"Good morning sleeping beauty, I am outside waiting for you," Ian said enthusiastically.

"Damn, how are you so awake at 7:40 in the morning bestie?", I said tiredly. I grabbed my lunch money off the counter and he replied, "Bestie, we are getting a new math teacher and I'm betting he will be fine as hell, I am not finna wait to see him. Now come on Chica, I came early so we could go to Dunkin.", he didn't have to tell me twice, I left the house and hopped in Ian's car.

Third-Person POV

They make their way to Dunkin, ordering their favorite coffees and avocado toast. They made their way to school laughing and talking about all the boys and men that Ian has been with. He loves to build up a portfolio of different males he has been with.

Nova and Ian made it up to the school parking lot and kept talking about Ian being a slut to men and how Nova needed to figure out a way to get Ty away from their witch of a girlfriend. "Ian why won't you just get in a committed relationship instead of being a heartbreaker?"

"What's the fun in that? No one is ever able to just shut me up, tie me down, and tell me who the boss is. I want that but never get it. "

"Ian, there is someone out there that is like that for you, be patient. I know there's someone willing to dominate you just how you want."

"Says the person who can't even get their crush away from a vindictive, terrible, rude person", Ian said making Nova end the conversation knowing he was right... like always.

Nova's POV

We make it to school, and head to our lockers, which is across the hallway from each other. My locker happens to be near my crush, Ty's locker. They have a partner, although I wish she were dead so I could have Ty. Vivian, Ty's girlfriend, is a huge bitch and is literally mean to everyone. She's literally using Ty, but they can't see that. Vivian happens to be one of the popular girls, everyone is so afraid of her but not me though, she could bite me for all I care. Vivian's parents happen to be one of the rudest people alive, but they're also very rich. Vivian's mom is a model and her dad is a scientist. Oh what it would be like to kill her and send them little presents of her body.

I started going into my headspace when Ian says, "Nova, girl, are you okay? You're just staring into the distance." I shook out of it. "Are you overthinking about Ty, again?" Ian sighs, looking at me. "Yeah, I just can't understand why Ty won't notice that Witch is using them," I replied. I sighed, thinking about how hurt Ty would be knowing that Vivian is just using them. Ty isn't a very sensitive or dumb person so I always wondered why they didn't notice what Vivian actually is.

My sadness quickly turned into anger, while the thought of Vivian being tortured by me, by my hands, screaming for help, made me smile. I quickly shook the thought out of my head, seeing Ty approach me with a smile. Gosh.. Ty's smile is so lovely and beautiful, I just wanna kiss them. Their dark chocolate skin glowed in the white lights of the schools hallway. Their black-greyish eyes twinkled so bright. Once again, I snapped out of my thoughts, hearing Ty say, "Good morning, Ian, and Nova, how are y'all this morning?"
