❝I can't be the Barbara Palvin to your Francisco Lachowski.❞
You see it in every Wattpad book. The bad boy did this, the bad boy did that, all ending in the main character falling for the bad boy, right? Of course, this isn't reality.
You don't see...

"There are three types of bad boys to be aware of at LaWaes High. People here call them bad boys, but let's be real, they're glorified fuck boys. But back to what I was saying. Three types. Most all of them fit into at least one of the following categories.
The first type is what I like to call the "Trust me I'm a good guy" bad boy. Simplified term being TMIGG. I wouldn't say they're the worst, but they're definitely annoying. The whole thing about letting you wear their hoodies and having names like "Everett" or "Grayson". They don't like to think they're bad boys, but oh boy, they are.
They're the type of boys that use the classic line, "It's not you, it's me," when breaking up with a girl. They wind you up and give you all kinds of love and support, making you think you've changed their bad boy ways. Making you think you've turned them into a soft boy. The guy of your dreams. But then, of course, they get bored. They can't stay with one girl for too long because they need to "explore". They need some "space".
They've got you thinking you're the love of their life and that they'll come back to you. But then, you see another girl in his hoodie. They are always looking for the next girl to wear their hoodie. They'll smile at you one day and stab you in the back the next. There's also a very high chance that they write poetry or play guitar. You've got to know the type.
A perfect example of a TMIGG at my school is Gio Webster. Always decked out in a flannel and jeans. Always sporting that half-smile that lets you know he may look like a good boy, but breaking hearts is like a sport to him. He'd be captain of the team. Gio is nice to everyone but has a new girlfriend head over heels for him every couple of weeks.
The next type is the "I'm not like other boys" bad boy. I call them INLOB's. These guys most likely have Tik Tok and most likely have quite the following on there. They blur the lines between e-boy and bad boy. Typically wearing a T-shirt over a striped long sleeved shirt and black jeans, they like to act like they're so unique and different.
But we all know painting your nails black and wearing a beanie does not make you special. INLOB's usually reel girls in by intriguing them with the mystery of it all. They're not very open people and are typically pretty quiet. They most likely have their JUUL and charger on hand at all times. Girls like the idea of thinking they can crack them, for lack of better terms. Make them come out of their shell and open up.
I won't lie, the idea is appealing. But does it actually work most of the time? Definitely not. These are the boys that will give you a sob story so you'll put out and then break up with you the next day. Then proceed to not talk to you ever again. Girls get easily caught up in the mystery of it all and how brooding they are without realizing the major red flags before it's too late.
