—NOVA POV—
I tightened my ponytail while looking in the mirror.
Turning around, I looked at all of my boards hung up thinking about which one I should pick to use today after work.
I decided on my standard which had been wrapped in Hello Kitty.
"Tom! We're going to be late for work!" I shouted out, walking over to his room.
"Shut up, ranga."
"I don't have time for the ginger hate. Can we just please go?" I sighed, pointing in the direction behind me. "Yeah." He grabbed his phone.
Tom and I both ran down the stairs, stopping at the kitchen first, I opened the fridge and grabbed a Red Bull. "You need to stop drinking that." My mom calls me out, from the couch.
"That's like... me telling you to stop drinking. You still do it. Just like how you still buy me the Red Bull." I joked, cracking it open.
"Come on Nova, she doesn't have a problem. You have a problem." Tom defended her.
"Auntie Simone?" I stepped away from Tom.
"Yeah?" She straightened up her seating on the couch. "Remember how Tom told you that last night he was coming to the skate park with me?" I glanced over at him, hehehehehe.
"Well... he actually went to Amanda's house and I heard she had a nice phone call with planned parenthood last week. Yikes..." I gritted my teeth, looking at everyone.
"She did not." Tom hit my shoulder.
"I don't know, you should get him checked. I heard he like... nutted in her." I nodded.
I smiled toothily at everyone. "Just thought you should know!" I shrugged, grabbing the car keys out of his pocket. "Bye Tom, have fun!"
I closed the door, and walked over to the car, before turning it on. Now I can drive and he gets in trouble.
Little steps for an average person.
Big steps for Nova.
I turned on bluetooth, connecting my phone to it. About five minutes went past before Tom came out, his arms crossed in a walk of anger.
I rolled down the window. "You getting tested, pretty boy?" I teased, unlocking the doors.
"Fuck you." He got in buckling his seatbelt. "Aww, now you can't fuck Amanda. Poor cock you got there." I pouted at him.
"Drive, we're already late." He pointed to the road, I sped off. "Not that fucking fast Nova, Jesus!" He held onto the side of his seat.
"Shut up."

"What can I get for you?" I smiled, at the girls who walked in. "Is your hair natural" One of them remarks. "Yes." I kept my best smile on.
"That doesn't look natural?" The other one raised her brows. "Do you want ice cream?" I pointed to all the flavors.
"Strawberry." "Vanilla." "Watermelon sorbet." All of them called out, I threw the rag over my shoulder, starting to scoop their flavors.
"Are you sure your hair is natural? It looks like it's been dyed, it doesn't look that good. You should go back to your natural color." Her nasally voice rang in my ears. I stayed calm, just scooping.
"Good thing I'm not being paid to care about your opinions then huh?" I looked at all of them.
"11.32 is your total cash or card?" I questioned. "You should get your manager, you're being like totally rude right now." The brunette says.
"One second, let me be quick and go get her, so your ice cream doesn't melt."
I turned around, the back of my shirt saying assistant manager on it, before I turned back around. "Hi! How may I help you!" I beamed.
The three girls all looked at each other. The blonde one in the middle didn't say anything, handing me the money. I slid the ice cream down the counter. "Where's my change?"
"Looks like we ran out of coins, sorry." I closed the cash register.
"What kind of establishment are you running?" She kept on yapping, there was a line building up. "Tom!" I called out, with a sigh.
"What?" He came from the back.
"Do you have 68 cents?" I asked, he reached into his pocket. Grabbing the change, I handed it back to her. "Have a jolly evening!" I waved goodbye. "What can I get for you?" I glanced up to the next person in line.
It was a whole family, I'm going to die.
"We only have change in cash, it's a busy Saturday, hope that's okay?" I was already over today, I mean come on. Those girls were my age.
Grow up.
"That's fine." The old lady smiled gently at me.
They all told us their orders, as Tom helped me scoop into the kid cones, cups, and adult cones.
"34, even." I gave everyone what they had ordered. I got handed a $50 bill, I started to rummage for change, but the lady stopped me.
"You keep it. Seems you've had a rough day." She stopped me from handing her, the change.
"Thank you so much, I appreciate it," I said kindly. "Of course, have a nice one." They all started to leave. See, the customers aren't always horrible. Usually only if they're teenagers.
"Rae. Kaulitz. break." The manager called out. "Free ice cream?" I gave him my best convincing face. "Sure." Ben agreed with a laugh.
I scooped up some chocolate for Tom and me, taking it to the back, we sat down on the couches. I laid my feet on his lap, leaning back.
"I don't think you understand how much I hate teenage girls." I started to dig in. "What did they say?" He shoves the spoon into his cup.
"Made fun of my hair then asked for the manager, I just showed off my shirt." I explained, "Want me to fuck them, then leave?" Tom asked. "Yes, do that." I pointed at him.
"Seriously, you come for ice cream! Why can't you have a good summer, and be nice." I cried out loud. "You're not nice."
"I'm only mean to you because we're like, eh, not siblings, you're just... you're the best part of my life." I tried my best to get the words out.
"Aw, how sweet."
