Highest rank: #5 Humor "THIS MEANS WAR ALEXA HARRISON!" "Oh I'd like to see you try Bad boy." Oh my goodness I honestly cannot be expected to describe EVERYTHING that happened in thirty nine seconds, since obviously that's roughly how long it'll take you to read all of this! Let's begin with a brief-ish introduction. Yeah, I can do that! I'm the badass. Dreaded by all the little beings around me. (Why? Because I'm freaking awesome!) That long list of people also happens to include the school bad boy. That dude's a softy when compared to me. That very soft, very large, very protective, bad boy just so happens to be my sort of best friend, sort of enemy, sort of everything else. Absolute softy I tell you! Gosh this introduction thing is definitely not what I signed up for! Anyways, So everything is sunshine-y in our little world until one day bad boy and I stumble upon something. Something precious, so very special that it couldn't have been with anybody else. Something beautiful really. Yes, that is correct, we discovered the power of REVENGE. It turned us into- WILD CREATURES. We took war seriously! If I flatten his tires, he sneaks into my house to freak me out. Hell we're immature. We hate each other from the depths our hearts but- we love each other too- just kidding we hate each other! Pure and horrible hate. "Admit it Lexi, you secretly love me!" Bad boy grinned. "Get out of here Bad boy, you weren't invited!" "Make me baby girl." He blew me a kiss. "I should've killed you with Hunter when I had the chance!" • Warning: IMMATURE content may make you want to hit your head to the wall at times and my head sometimes. Please do not resort to violence!*Grins* Alright, alright: Language! *Sighs* so much language *Shakes head* It would mean the world to me if you decided to read this but that's up to you! :) Maybe you'll laugh a little, who knows??? I'm absolutely crazy and somewhat evil so forgive me for my lame jokes and bad puns, please!

When Everly Reed collides with the cynical and devilishly handsome Mason Valdez, she knows trouble is ahead, but she never could have guessed how much she would be drawn to the storm. ***** Nineteen-year-old Ever Reed likes when things make sense. Which is probably why she excels at math, enough to secure her a spot at an Ivy League school out of state. Sheltered by her mother and older brother Asher for most of her life, Ever hasn't experienced much of the world, but she knows New York will be an adventure. Enter Mason Valdez: cynical, arrogant, and undeniably attractive-exactly what Ever doesn't need. But as their paths keep crossing, Ever finds herself intrigued by Mason, and eager to know the boy behind the bitter mask. As secrets, scars, and painful pasts rise to the surface, Ever knows one thing for sure: they can only make it through if they face their storms together.
