My name is Devon. But I'm not important. All that's important to me is paying the bills and doing good in school whilst I live in a falling-down house with my drunk and irresponsible dad. My mom and brother left us ages ago. Working a job that I do almost every spare second of my time, I find a new job. It's as a bodyguard. For these cheerleaders at my school. I don't like being around people. I keep to myself. But, they offered me a lot of money, and how could I not take the job? Protecting idiots, I learn a lot more from them. Especially, that they aren't all what I thought they were like. Then comes Trey and the gang that I used to be in. And together, we plan to take revenge on my mom and brother. But how far can I go? And with no one finding out what I'm planning to do? Join Devon on her journey. The 'Not important' girl. In Not Important.

Unprotected is a story from the collection The Last Girlfriend on Earth. Love can be messy, painful, and even tragic. When seen through the eyes of Simon Rich it can also be hilarious. In thirty short, sharp, ingenious stories, Rich conjures up some unforgettable romances: An unused prophylactic describes life inside a teenage boy's wallet; God juggles the demands of his needy girlfriend with the looming deadline for earth's creation; and a lovestruck Sherlock Holmes ignores all the clues that his girlfriend's been cheating on him.As enchanting, sweet, and absurd as love itself, these stories are Simon Rich's Valentine to readers, an irresistible collection of delights. All that's missing is the heart-shaped box.
