"I told you not to call me that. Either you can call me Nova or don't talk to me."

Only two people could call me that. That is my dad and it WAS my mother. I loss my mom five years ago, which is one of the many reasons why I don't like Rochelle.

My mom hadn't even been dead that long before he moved on to a new bitch. He claimed that mine and my brother's opinion of her mattered, but evidently it didn't. Otherwise he wouldn't be three years into a marriage with this bitch and I wouldn't have a little sister on the way.

My dad is a very successful man. He's a doctor. Doctor's make the big bucks. That's what attracted Rochelle to my dad. Any and everybody can see it but him. She's a fucking gold digger. All she does is spend his money on unnecessary bullshit. She doesn't do shit a normal housewife should do. This bitch can't cook. She doesn't buy household stuff. She's just a waste of space, money, and food that she doesn't know how to cook!

Since it was my mom's time to go, I would have been just fine with it being my dad, my brother, and I from now on.

"Fine then bitch. I won't talk to you."

Ooo, if she wasn't about to pop I swear I'd pop her in that smart ass mouth of hers. It would only take one good jaw to the fucking face before she realize that I'm not the one to fuck with.

"Whatever skank."

I was about to walk away from her but she grabbed my arm. Her sharp manicured nails dug into my skin. This wouldn't be the first time she's put her hands on me. If only I had nothing to lose.

"You can say whatever you want, but I'm here to stay little girl. I'm m-"

I painfully snatched my arm away from her then went back upstairs. I have a feeling she was about to say something way out of line.

I got a gray cardigan then I went back downstairs. I grabbed my keys in the foyer on the way out the house.

There's no sign of my brother in the house or outside, so I'm sure he's gone to the other side of town. That boy stays gone from home. With a stepbitch like what we got I see why though.

I walked to the end of the driveway and sat down so I could check my phone again. I had two missed calls from Asia.

I dialed her back then put my phone to my ear.

"HELLO?!"

I scrunched up my face then checked the volume on my phone.

"Why you yell honey?"

"My bad bew. Taylor bad ass trying me."

I shook my head. That's something I've noticed about my friend. She always seems mad or upset about something. Her anger has been especially bad as of lately. I though I had a slight attitude problem, but I'm softer than a kitten compared to her.

"What you doing Nov? Took you forever to answer me."

"I know I'm sorry about that. I was trying to get ready to leave the house."

"Where you headed? Over here?"

I looked around the neighborhood before answering her.

"Probably so. That guy from school Malik text me and said he wanted to take me out."

Asia squealed in my ear and giggled. She can be such a girly girl at times.

"Girl you better let him take you out! You can't say you wasn't feeling him. If you wasn't he wouldn't have your number."

I huffed and furrowed my brows. She made a valid point. I knew she'd respond this way. I can't help but think about Ethan though. Long story short, Ethan and I were together for years and he was cheating on me for years. He made me feel so special and so loved, but it was all an act. Our relationship ended with me getting checked for STD's. I had sex with him once so I figure I had to get tested. I would have demolished his ass if he gave me anything.

He was my first and only time. I let that boy take my virginity and he chose to repay me by acting different and fooling around with other bitches. Bitches that would smile in my face and act all friendly to me. He had me looking like a fool. I was a damn fool.

"Fuck Ethan. Let Malik take you out. You can't let one bad experience stop you from going on with your life."

"He hurt me so bad though Asia. You have no idea how afraid I was thinking I had something. Have you ever had an STD scare?!"

"No but Devin was fucking with that nasty bitch Shai. I better get myself checked."

"You can never be too sure about these niggas these days."

I got up and put my keys in my pocket before leaving out the driveway.

"Sure don't. But seriously Nov. Just go out and have fun. Let that nigga know y'all just kickin it for now. I'm gonna get on your nerves til you agree to go with him."

"Fine."

I know how Asia is. She really will keep on pushing me to hang with ole dude. She just wants me to hang out with him so we can go on double dates. Seem like her and Khali hit it off well.

"Call me later bew."

"Okay love you bae."

"Love you too, bye."

I took a deep breath before texting Malik back telling him this isn't a date and to meet me at the bus stop. I'll see how this goes, but I'll quit talking to him if I feel like I need to.
