Prologue
I had been labeled a goodie-goodie. The one that can never do anything wrong or go against the rules. If there's a choice between right and wrong, I always will pick the morally correct one. It won't matter if it feels right to me or not, I'll do what I'm supposed to. Rules? I follow them to the letter, taking them as literally as possible, and then tell on those that don't.
I have always gotten good grades in school, nothing below a B-, and sat in the front of class, even through the ridicule of my classmates. No one can copy my homework, if I had to do it, so should you. All my work is done early and turned in on time, I even do all available extra credit work to make sure I keep my grades high. I've never talked back to anyone, not even to someone my age. No obscene gestures have been made with my body and no foul words have left my mouth. Alcohol and drugs have never entered my system. I've accepted that I can't get piercings and tattoos under my father's rule. My body will remain pure until I'm married, and no guy can ever take that away from me.
I'm marked as an angel, the perfect student, and even the perfect daughter. There's no escaping it.
I'm going to become a doctor, just like my family wants me to. I plan to attend my father's Alma-mater, Cornell University, where it will take eight years of schooling to become a doctor, then another few years during my residency, but it's worth it. It's what my family wants me to be, it's just not what I want to do.
I haven't wanted to be a doctor since middle school after realizing I couldn't stand the sight of blood, but I couldn't tell me parents, they wanted me to be a doctor, and wouldn't hear of any other career suggestions that came forward even when it was something I was passionate about.
Too bad my father didn't have the same values that he had raised me with. I caught my father cheating on my mom with another woman. I didn't agree with what he wanted me to do with my life, and I didn't like what he had chosen to do with his. I didn't want to waste over eight years of my life doing something that I have no interest in? No, but those are the rules, and I always follow the rules right?
Not anymore. Now that's all over. I'm changing my reputation, and taking control of my life. All I need is a mentor, then I can shed the goodie-goodie reputation that has followed me around for years, and I know just the boy to help me.
Kayden Daniels has been a thorn in my side since middle school. He branded me with the Goodie-goodie nickname, and now he was going to help me lose it. The only catch was that in order for me to get his help, I had to give him the one thing I treasured most, my virginity. I almost backed down from my plan right then and there. I didn't want to be just a number to someone, I wanted to wait for the right person, but he was right. It was a little price to pay for him helping me lose my long standing reputation, and I didn't have another choice.
I needed his help, and he knew it. The price was just something I had to pay.
