Humahagos na napaiyak ako. Paulit ulit na sinasaksak ang sarili gamit ang gibang kutsilyo. Walang dugo, ni hindi nadaplisan o nasugatan! Walang marka! Walang sakit na nararamdaman! Unti-unting nanubig ang aking mga mata sa realisasyon na hindi na ako normal. Hindi na magiging normal pa! Isa akong halimaw! Humahagulgol na napatingin ako sa aking harapan, nanatiling nakasalampak sa malamig na semento ang isang walang buhay na katawan ng lalaking umatake saakin kanina. May sukat sa tiyan nito at patuloy na tumutulo ang dugo mula doon. Umiiyak na pinagtutusok ko ang sarili at paulit ulit na sinasaktan rin. "Alia, okay kalang?!" Wika ni Aling Dali mula sa labas ng unit ko. Dumadagundong ang puso ko, pinagpapawisan narin ang aking magkabilang kamay. "O-okay lang po ako..." Wika ko sa naiiyak na tinig. "Salamat naman, akala ko kung ano na." Narinig ko pang wika ng matanda. Napayuko nalang ako sa kamay kong may bahid na dugo ng lalaking umatake saakin kanino. "H-hindi ko naman sinasadya...patawad." Wika ko sa lalaking namayapa na. Nanindig ang balahibo ko ng muling tumayo ang lalaki sa pagkakahimlay nito, tumingin ito sa gawi ko. "Hindi, hindi mo nga sinasadya." Wika niya saakin sabay ngisi, "Masasabi kong tama nga ang pangulo at ikaw ang naturang binhi." Napakunot naman ang noo ko dahil 'dun, "B-binhi?" Ngumiti itong muli, "Maligayang pagbati, bagong nilalang ng dilim." Narinig kong wika nito bago ako nakaramdam ng antok. Unti-unting nawala narin sa paningin ko ang lalaki kasabay ng pagkawala ng aking huwisyo. Into the Dark. #1 of the Dark Triology

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
