Nova Rey is a no bullshit type of girl in all matters, but the heart.
Malik Vela is a 'care-too-much' kind of guy. Constantly putting others above himself to a point that it becomes problematic.
When Nova's impulsiveness takes command, she's catapulted into a world with a corrupt politician, an unsolved mystery and an infuriatingly attractive boy that makes her want to pull her hair out of her head every time he walks into a room.
Appearances can be deceiving, and bitter first impressions will obscure the truth hidden in the depths of the human soul.
What looked to be a pretty piece of jewelry, ended up being the heart dilemma Nova's not too sure how to solve.

"Or do you just like it when I chase you?"

It All Started With a Diary
I anticipated every breath, and every word. Each day, you could only take an uneducated guess at what he would say. What he would do. My heart tremor as he leaned in. "I was wrong, sweetheart. I was so wrong," he whispered, the words tickling my ears. "Because with you, there are no doubts. Only love, so, so much love. And, I will spend every single day, every minute, and every fucking second proving that I deserve it." *** Kimberly Wrighton, the new girl who is desperate to make it through her senior year with as little issue as possible.

Behind the Glasses
Her entire life so far had been like one sunny afternoon, passing quickly and soon forgotten along with all the other days that had no stand-out excitement or tragedy. At thirteen she was ready to explore the entire world, learn fighting and this new world. Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face. Her pain was evident in the crease of her lovely brow and the down-curve of her full lips. But her eyes, her eyes showed her soul. They were a deep pool of restless gold, an ocean of hopeless grief. As he looked into her eyes I knew, all the beauty of the universe could not even hope to compete with this simple thing: passion. Passion turned her eyes into orbs of the brightest fire, and in them I read clearly that she would fight to the very last tear for her life. She would not let the world break her. Sure she could cry, but she would never let them take her true self from her. She clung to it with passion. Passion that made her beautiful. He saw her passion! A story about love and finding her identity! Who is she? Enjoy reading. :)Complete
