Alexander grabbed my hand and practically dragged me through the crowd, into a hallway and then opened a random door on his left, dragged me in and slammed the door shut, "What -" I was about to yell at him but his lips crashed onto mine and it made me fall back against the door he had just closed. His hands pressing my hips against the door and my arms on his chest, his lips against mine was perfect, he bit down on my lip and I pushed him off me so our nose barely touched and we tried to catch our breaths, "What was that for?" I asked. "To shut you up." He smiled and let go of me taking a few steps back. I still leaned against the door afraid if I tried to stand alone I'd crashed to the floor. I crossed my arms and tired to look mad, I mean he did interrupt Darrell's little conversation with me. "What is so important that you had to pull me away from someone Professor?" I pursed my lips trying not to think how moments ago he had his soft lips on mine. "How's your paper going Madeline?" He asked looking thrown off his game, I let out a loud laugh. "You did not pull me away from a very sexy man to ask how my paper was going Mr. Daniels!" ----------------------------------------------- A story of how Madeline Winters is introduced to a new type of fun and runs into familiar faces.

I, Lois Mai Reynolds, am all kinds of clumsy. I fall over flat surfaces. I drop expensive vases, and miraculously find ways to trip over thin air. Not a day has passed by when I'm not wearing a Band-Aid for some kind of accident that I've endured, and it's stooped to the level now that my parents call me King Kong and joke about having warning signs and safety tape around my bedroom door. Once upon a time, I used to think of that as a laughing matter, but not anymore. Not since I almost killed my crush's mom.

One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.

I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams.
