The population was 12 billion, 2 billion more than the planet could support. All the time, people disappeared, often thousands in a single abduction. I was trying to find the people behind these abductions, and found a link. Most people abducted had something against Kalabar Industries, the largest company in the world, producing over three quarters of the world's goods. I was suspicious of him for a long time, and now my suspicions have been confirmed. In an effort to get close to his family and expose him, I became friends with his only son, Nathaniel, and have grown to love him. His father, Kalabar himself, never really liked me. He always thought I was too nosey, asked too many questions. I realized that the only way to know if Kalabar was guilty was to get on his bad side, and see if I would get abducted. The good news is, my suspicions were correct. The bad news is, I was abducted.

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

Four teens who are insanely different: One snarky artist One lovable goof ball One cocky jock And one insecure girl. Four different stories, four different friendships. One maze known as Highschool. Friendships from back then will be tested in ways you've never seen before. (This is a new and revised description because the old one wasn't great, most of the story is unedited and some of it feels like it doesn't flow. When I'm finished with the story, which is hopefully soon, I will edit all of the chapters. However for now please enjoy this story I started at 14 and all of unedited glory. It does, however, have a good plot and foundation. Just give it a chance. Thanks. <3)
