"Mom?" "..." "Can you buy me a box of pads? My period came." "Uh I think you should check who you're calling because one: I'm a male, two: I'm not your mom, and three: I have some spare pads." "Why on earth do you have pads?"

He nodded and stood up with me. He looked me into my eyes. He pressed his lips to mine. It felt so amazing. So right. Everything about this kiss was pure and amazing. He pushed me up against the car. I'm glad this is a street that's old and isn't really used anymore. He placed his hands on my hips. They felt so right there. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He still had me pushed against the car. His hands went to my hair.

Completed ••••••• "Tomorrow you'll call them and tell them you ran away and that you're fine. You're going to tell them not to bother looking for you, that you're somewhere safe. You're also going to tell them that you think running away was the right thing to do and that you just need a little space." "I can't say that to them," she whispered. "You can and you will." "Go to hell," she whispered before getting up and walking out of my room. I watched the door slam shut. "Baby girl," I said," I'm already there."

"What are you doing here?" I ask but it comes out as a sob. I don't want him, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. I'm a wreck. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind though. He softly brushes the remaining tears from my face with his thumb. "I saw you run out of the canteen, green eyes. I couldn't just leave you here to cry because that would go against the tutor code." "Tutor code?" I ask, puzzled. "Yes, the tutor code. It states that a student must make sure his tutor is never upset or crying and if he does ever find her like this it's his job to make her smile at any cost," he tells me. "You just made that up." "Maybe I did but that doesn't matter. Come on," he says, extending his hand out to me. "Where are we going?" "You'll see." ~*~*~ Aurora is a normal seventeen year old, happy and content with life. However, this all changes the day her boyfriend of two years, James, breaks up with her. Naturally, she's crushed. The icing on the cake is why he did it. Apparently she's 'too boring'. Determined to prove him wrong, she strikes a deal with the school's notorious bad boy, Wyatt King. She'll tutor him in maths if he teaches her to be reckless, fearless and careless. Can Aurora overcome the odds and do what she planned? Or perhaps someone will stop her on her mission to win over James. Maybe this isn't as easy as she thought it would be. Maybe she takes things a little too far. And just maybe making a deal with the bad boy isn't such a smart idea. ~*~*~ *contains mature language* #9 in high school 20/02/19 #1 in young love 14/03/19 #2 in chicklit 27/03/19 #1 in heartbreak 08/04/19 #21 in teenfiction 26/08/20 #10 in romance 26/08/20 #1 in bad boy 02/04/21
