We're Still Nerds
Cassandra Gray is and always will be a nerd. She's the kind of girl that wears superman tees and reads comic books, and has never missed a superhero movie premiere. Of course, she was bullied a lot. At least she had always had her best friend Aidan to watch her back. In eighth grade, Cassie is forced to move to Ohio and leave her best friend behind. She learns that if nobody's there to stick up for her, life is living hell. She stops bringing her comics to school, changes out her glasses for contacts, and does what she can to to fit in. Even worse than school is her stepfather, Steven, who has been abusing her for the past year. When she finally calls the police, Steven is put in jail and Cassie and her mom get as far away from him as possible, which means moving back home to the life she left behind. Cassie comes back in time for senior year and just wants things to go back to the way they were. Instead she discovers a new life better than anything she could have imagined.Complete![Resisting the Player -- [Completed - Unedited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/192439904-256-k591569.jpg)
Resisting the Player -- [Completed - Unedited]
"Cassie," Aaron says. "I have detention. For two hours." My mouth drops open. "Fuck me," I groan. "Sorry," he smirks. "But you're not my type." --------- Cassandra Parker isn't looking for male attention; she just wants to make it through her last year of high school at Hilltop High with her two friends, Gracie and Gabs. But when she makes a deal with her parents to wear more gender tailored clothes, she is officially placed on the radar of almost every male at her school, including Aaron Brewer's. Aaron Brewer is a player in almost every sense of the word, sleeping with girls and then dropping them the next morning. All that changes when he meets Cass, who doesn't fall at his feet like the other girls. They grow closer, sleeping--innocently--together, partaking in almost-kisses and a variety of other things, but when a secret is revealed to Cass by two of the most important people in her life, loyalties are tested and boundaries are crossed as a person from her past infiltrates her present and threatens her future. ~~~ *Not edited* -- also, i literally wrote this book when i was like. 15? finished it when I was like 16? and then never touched it again.

"Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah.
