He leans closer to me and tilts his head. His lip press to mine and I feel his mouth part. I part mine too and our tongues rage wars against who will be dominant. He wins and his tongue starts to move around my mouth. I grab his neck and he reaches over for my hips. I pull away for a breath and start to tilt back for some more, but then a siren rings through the air. "Well times up Cassidy. I'll see you around." My eyes are bulging and my legs are shaking.

Peyton Stiller learned in sixth grade that you cannot get through life without bending the rules a bit. In order to do so, she picked up a few little tricks to help her along the way. Now, being in high school, things have come easier to her because of the way she can easily persuade people with the bat of an eyelash, or letting her hair down from her ponytail and adding in a voice change. And also use, her looks to her advantage. But she prefers to stay in the shadows and out of popularity, frankly because she cannot stand the people. Not to mention her awkward self would stick out like a sore thumb. But when a day comes when she meets someone who is just as skilled at these little tricks as she is, things take a turn. Whether they are for the worst or not she doesn't know. And it doesn't help the situation that this person just so happens to be the most popular guy in the school and the biggest jerk alive. All she has to do is keep her cool, keep up with her family, handle her wacky best friend, and put up with the new entry in her life by using the methods of simple manipulation. But sometimes the simplest things in life, are the most complicated of all. COPYRIGHTED © daretodaydream All Rights Reserved.

That was about as close as anyone could get to seeing what Chase Summers and Emma Steele, The Geek & The Pretty Girl had in common. Emma is a senior at Orange County High School and her life revolves around her reputation. She is well-liked, admired, and has a voice that makes people listen to her. At least, that was what her life was until her parents sat her down over dinner to announce her childhood best friend was moving to the OC. It was great news at first, but things quickly went downhill when Emma noticed her childhood friend had evolved into a full fledged geek. As if her troubles from school weren't enough, someone else is determined to make Emma's life hell. Add that to her growing feelings for Chase and you get one big mess in the senior year of high school.
