His fist flew at me, but instead of it meeting my face, it caressed the locker next to me. My heart hammers in my chest, and it aches as I try to suppress it from causing the familiar feeling of a panic attack to ram through me. I then let out a shaky breath, and glanced wide-eyed up at him in shock. He leaned down once again, his soft plump lips grazing the crown of my ear, "The names Sawyer Walker, sweetheart". *** Loyal Bailey has accepted her undeniable fate, as she carries a treacherous past no one knows about on her beaten shoulders. The pain her heart has held, the scars that litter not only her body but her mind, and the secrets that writhe on the tip of her tongue, but will never be told. She's been used, broken, stitched back together countless times, but you wouldn't be able to tell by just looking at her. She's an artist, she's dangerous and she's quick-witted. One of her biggest secrets are her numerous insecurities, like having intense panic attacks, but how long can she really hide them for? Especially after meeting four notorious bad boys. Sawyer Walker is supposedly the leader of the schools' blatant bad boys, and rumored to be in a gang. And a very powerful one at that. He follows his own set of rules, which literally translates to following none. He was what parents told their kids not to become. He's a tyrant and a delinquent, but everyone has their reasons and their pasts that make them who they are. Most fear being in his presence, but what happens when Loyal surprisingly isn't? How does Sawyer handle not being feared? What happens when they unfold her life, and discover every scar she tried to heal, only to rip them open again? How will they react when Loyal's true identity is sought out, and their lives all finally click? Now as cliche as this is about to sound, we all know that the screwed up girl always falls for the bad boy, right? The only question that's left without an obvious answer is, which one?

"You like this, don't you?" Sam grins, running his tongue over his lip ring. "You're turned on by it." "Please," I wave my hand in dismissal. "You are," he accuses, his voice light. He does it again. I can't look away. "Stop." "Why should I? Little Miss 'I hate everyone at Ryder' really does find me irresistible. Who am I to deny her?" Sam's voice has something of an edge to it and my eyes snap to his. "'Little miss 'I hate everyone at Ryder', huh?" I ignore the second part of his jab. "That's right." I lean against my wardrobe, crossing my arms over my chest. "There's only a few people at Ryder I really can't stand, and you're at the top of my list." Sam's eyes narrow on me. "Is that so?" He turns from the mirror and takes a step in my direction. I refuse to back down, tilting my chin up to keep his gaze as he crowds into my space. His eyes hold mine until he's close enough that I can feel the warmth of his breath over my cheeks and his focus shifts to my mouth. He runs his tongue over the lip ring again, and I feel my own lips part slightly as he does it, my breath coming a little faster. My stomach is pulsing with a mix of nervousness and something I'm not totally ready to admit to myself. ---- Logan Grey's a 16 year-old girl with a penchant for Bob Dylan and running long distances.

He took three more slow steps forward. "Have you now?" I took another step back, causing my back to hit a wall. "Yeah" I replied in a low voice. He was now in front of me with both hands on either side of my head. "Well, you might think that, but..." he brought one hand down and skimmed the sides of my body leaving goosebumps in his path.
