"You are an insane sick bastard. Did you know that?" I said matter of factly.

"If i got a dollar for every time I've been told that, I'd be richer than Bill Gates now" he answered amusedly.

Oh, this loser.

You are supposed to be angry, not find a joke to pass my insult with.

"I know what you are doing Rocky. You are trying to push me away. Why? I don't know. But you best try harder than that if you are to push me away because I'm here to stay. I don't know what scarred you this bad but we can fix it. Together! We could learn the baby steps of trust together. I'm not going anywhere Rocky" Blue said as he looked into my eyes.

No, no, no Blue. How am I supposed to hate you when you speak like this?. You were not meant to like me or even look my way.

I bit my lip as i reddened from the embarrassment that he'd caught on to my plan. I need him to hate me but he isn't giving in. This is going to be harder than I thought.

I looked up to try again but I saw him just a second before he leaned in and kissed me. Yes, he kissed me. I didn't kiss him back, I was just in shock.

He pulled away and I saw tenderness in his eyes as he said "Perfect"

"This should be assault. You just assaulted me right there"

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.
