- „Du redest ständig davon, dass ihr es nicht besser machen konntet. Aber was ist mit dir?" Rob war mir jetzt so nah, dass ich seinen warmen Atem auf meiner Haut spüren konnte. Seine ruhige Stimme verriet mir, dass er es diesmal ernst meinte. Dass er diesmal nicht darauf aus war, mich zu beleidigen. Und das trieb mir fast die Tränen ins Gesicht. Ich war so wütend. Tief in mir wollte mich eine andere Stimme davon überzeugen, dass er nur mit mir spielte. Weil er genug Gründe dazu hatte. Aber mein Gefühl sagte etwas anderes.

Sorge dafür, dass du den Spaß deines Lebens hast und verschwinde danach so schnell und so spurlos wie möglich. Dies ist auch Lisa klar, als sie sich kurz nach ihrer Ankunft in L.A. von ihrer besten Freundin Karen dazu überreden lässt, auf eine Party zu gehen und dort alle Hemmungen fallen zu lassen.

Denn Nicolas Jordan, der Mann, der ihr am Nachmittag im Restaurant bei ihrem ersten Geschäftsgespräch gegenüber sitzt und mit dem sie in den nächsten sechs Wochen an dem Drehbuch zu ihrem Bestsellerroman arbeiten soll, ist niemand anderes als Nick, ihr One-Night-Stand …

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
