|June 28th. 2018| *Honorary Mention in the Bad Boy's Awards 2018* I stretched my arms out and kept my eyes closed. I had gotten an amazing sleep last night, my blanket was different from the nights before, it gave more back support and kept me extra warm. Suddenly I noticed my blanket was heavier around my waist. I don't think blankets are supposed to do that. Sure it made me feel secure but that was an oddly specific part of my body to be heavy on and specifically that part only. I noticed there was shifting coming from beside me and that's what caught my attention. I slowly turned to the side and saw there was something right beside me, it's arm around my waist. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth to keep myself from screaming. The warmth was now pressed against my chest and abdomen, the weight still on my waist. Sleeping next to me in my bed, shirtless, with his arm around me was, none other then the town's bad boy; West Ryder. ****** When Elizabeth's old friends transfer to her high school, everything starts to change. When she finds the town's bad boy in her bed one morning after a night at the club, she decided she'd learn his past and all his secrets. Now she has to stop herself from falling for the bad boy in order to keep her own past intact. With old friends becoming enemies and new friends becoming family, Elizabeth finds it harder to keep her past deep down. Will she discover West's past before he discovers hers? Or will past uncover before her, bringing danger upon her and everyone around her?

|08.14.18| ~~~ I stood there a good 2 minutes and 38 seconds (but who's counting?) and debated on whether or not I should at least talk to Di. Letting my hand drop beside my body, I decided I'd ask her in the morning and give her a chance to explain. As I'd turned around to begin my departure back to my dorm, I heard something. A voice. But it wasn't headmistress Ross. This one was deeper. Smoother. More rich and ..man like? But it was one I recognize. I stood in silence for a few moments before I heard the voice once more. I don't know if I'd heard it because I was searching for it or if the voice had just gotten louder because I heard it loud and clear this time. It was like my feet had been cemented into place, I couldn't move. No, I didn't want to move. But I heard shuffling coming from inside and my training went into autopilot. Swiftly, I vacated the premises and began to head back to my room. The words continued to swirl in my head, I felt dizzy and I ended up moving closer to the wall so I could lean on it and just... think. I let everything begin to sink in, everything Diana was doing, how the headmistress hadn't been in her office the past couple of nights and most importantly, that voice. Maybe it was because I'd heard one like it but couldn't put a face to it. Maybe I was just shocked to hear a voice of a male in an all-girl school. Or more specifically, that male voice in my school. Or maybe because I had heard it again, but this time was different. This time, it was coming from behind me. This time, it was talking to me.
