Growing up Toisanese (the real pronunciation is Hoisanese) in the San Gabriel Valley suburbs of Los Angeles, I was an awkward but observant Toisan Girl. I never really fit in anywhere - straddled between American and Chinese cultures as an ABC. Between a paranoid born-again Christian mother, and a rageful, hardworking father behind closed doors, I somehow survived. Many a misadventure unfolded through my coming of age years....

Book Two of TGGBB Series Naomi Lorraine, who used to be or still known as Nerdy Naomi, looks forward in her thick rimmed glasses to a life without the fear of being bullied. She no longer has to take up the laughs, insults, and bruises high school once gave her, at least she hopes not as much. With her bullies finally realizing there's no point to dedicating their lives to make one person miserable, Naomi thinks she can live out the rest of her life normally. That is until her childhood friend, Dominic, crashes back into her life, throwing out that hope of having a normal life- Not like she had one in the beginning. That is because she has the Three Musketeers -Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch- by her side. Together, they faced the adventures life threw at them and would have never thought that anything, or anyone, could break them. Oh, but don't worry. Really, you're overthinking things here. This is nothing to stress over about. It's still quite simple really. She's still their good girl. And they're still her bad boys. Right?

[Highest Rank: #38] She's boring. They're spoiled. A playboy, a jerk, and a prodigy enter her life, and she becomes entangled in a new game of something that she has 0 experience with: romance. ~ It's the middle of senior year, and Jennie is more than enthusiastic to finally be done with preparing for college. Her perfect transcript, teacher recommendation, and resume have been sent in the form of applications, and now she's just awaiting a stress-free life for the remainder of her time at Millennium High, her private boarding school. Of course, life doesn't play out the way one expects it to, and it definitely throws a curveball towards Jennie. Her work hard, study hard routine is threatened by the arrival of a trio of rich, successful boys ... and, unlike the rest of the school, she's just not seeing the excitement. All she wanted to do was spend the remainder of the year focusing on graduating as the valedictorian of the school -- which was inevitable in the first place -- but these boys seem to have something sorely against her success. Juggling a newfound social reputation on her shoulders, along with many other problems that she and the newcomers face, Jennie attempts to continue on with her life as a simple, intelligent girl. It just gets annoying when she has to deal with something that she's never experienced before within her boring life -- love. How better to describe romance than with cheesiness and cliches, right? Well, Jennie's never been a fan of those things. NOTE: 'Tis a rather casually-written story so don't expect anything TOO deep here. Of course, you may be surprised. *insert mischievous grin here. Also, if you don't like romantic things ... might want to leave (but who doesn't, honestly?)

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
