Rosswen Blake has never had it easy but she tries not to let it get in her way. She can't. Not since she's the one keeping the bullies at bay. Set in a typical high school, "the Jerk" focuses on the effects and consequences that bullies have on their victims, and shows that there isn't just one type. Real bullying experiences have been incorporated into the story, and I thank those who were brave enough to let me share them. "The boy you punched in the hall today. Committed suicide a few moments later. That girl you called a slut in class today. She's a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day. She's already being abused at home. That girl you called fat. She's starving herself. The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars. He fought for our country. The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying. You think you know them. Guess what? You DON'T!" Above is the inspiration that gave me the spark to write this story. :) Cover by: @CrazyTurkey

I had thought this living arrangement would be simple: one girl, two boys, living together but leading separate lives. I'd vastly underestimated how easily and rapidly those lives could fuse together. I felt nauseous and torn apart, my body standing on a fuzzy carpet floor, my heart reaching for the kind of love I knew I'd never had, my mind screaming somewhere in between. Maybe I didn't know what I was getting into.

I woke up in the morning in a bed, in an unfamiliar room. I have no clothes on, I might add to that, and there’s a sleeping Mason next to me. What the hell happened last night? I can’t remember. I threw a pillow at Mason, hitting him with it until he woke up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. “…And good morning to me.” He smirked. I covered my naked body with the blanket. “…Did we have sex?” The Sequal of 'About A Girl' is here!!!!((: Except, not in Laci's P.O.V. In Jacee's when she's older... Let's see how dramatic her life is ;)

When we made it to a couch in the family room upstairs, Aiden kissed me passionately and wrapped his arms around me. Intoxicating me, I mimicked him and wrapped my arms around his neck… But before I knew it his hands lingered elsewhere. I tried to stop him, but he was just too strong. I would never forget what he did just now, that made him glad. I knew this would be our first and last date.
