"You don't seem like a nerd so what are you?" He asked raising an eyebrow as he eyed my black rimmed glasses, thick woollen jersey and ratted converses. I crossed my arms and did the same to him. "You don't seem like a bad boy that actually turns out to be gay but we are all mistaken sometimes." I replied watching as he stepped closer making my back press against the wall. "Your only a little mistaken, I am the schools bad boy but i most definitely am not gay," he whispered in my ear causing me to shiver. "What are you?" he continued slowly. I leaned up so that my lips were brushing against his cheek, smirking as I watched him gulp. "Well none of yours is right because I'm definitely not a nerd, I'm just a girl in disguise." With that I side stepped his arms and skipped down the hallway, only pausing when i reached the class room door. I looked over my shoulder sending him a wink when i noticed that he was still watching me. Things just got a whole lot better. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Lexi Dylan's is the badass the whole world knows but when she's forced to move, she decides to get revenge.
