"I told you to leave me alone. Are you stalking me?" I asked the little shits.
"Of course not! Rude much?" Noah gasped, his hand over his heart. "I am truly wounded by your words."
I rolled my eyes at his dramatic performance.
"Well I am wounded by your presence! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Lucas stepped towards me, hurt and confusion evident on his face.
"We were just wondering how you were. Noah said you were in a lot of pain, and you looked so tired during class. We wanted to know if you were okay!"
"Speak for yourself," Jackson snorted. "I actually don't care. At all."
Jasmine has been bullied, abused, and hated since middle school. She's come to believe that people are cruel and untrustworthy. It's best to let them do what they want and pick yourself up when they leave you on the ground. When the trio of new boys arrive, Jasmine walks past without a glance. Her untrusting demeanor is something nobody has been able to break through. But the boys love a challenge.
Meet Jackson, the bad boy, Lucas, the sweet one, and Noah, the clown. This cliché group might just make Jasmine's walls come crashing down.
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire.
"You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside.
"I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me.
"I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around.
"You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me.
I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically.

I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress.

Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :))
I like to think I'm funny. After all:
