"Live life to is fullest." "You are beautiful just the way you are, so be you." "Don't let others judge your exterior, you are not a book's cover." All of these quotes above; plenty of people had told me them. My parents, my sibling--relatives...many had tried to instill a sense of encouragement or self-confidence inside of me. But most of them had only tried to help me by using words, not actions. And words cannot simply speak for their actions. Though gradually, I slowly learned to stand tall with my head held high and not let others navigate my brain. But along with supporters, there will always have to be haters: "Look, do us a favor and get rid of yourself--literally, please." "Argh, look at you! Can't you ever be more feminine like?" "How can a person like you ever be social, make friends? The only friends you probably have are books!" I swear I am not suicidal, and I swear to never commit something like that. But this doesn't mean that I've enjoyed living the life I'm living. I know I should be grateful--and I am, for the most part. I'm a bullied, I definitely don't enjoy being bullied, and I certainly don't like being abused any more than I like being bullied. Who even does? Plus, isn't being bullied similar to being abused? Then again, it's my life after all. And like some might say: I just got to live life (as it flashes right in front of my eyes) to its very fullest, and even dare to venture into the vast unknown.

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
