Ever wonder what it would be like to steal?
No, not in the kleptomaniac sense. More in the Robin Hood sense. Doing a sin for the greater good, how deliciously paradoxical is that?
Now, imagine being me. A sixteen-year-old who has lived in the clutches of his father for way too long. I wish to bring about a change to this world and in the process learn to become my own person.
So, how did I decide to do it?
I joined a modern-day thief's guild with my best friend, Tristan.
It was a stupid idea.
At least there's Josie (she's the love interest; she's very scary). The two of us are from completely different worlds and yes, that's going to have an impact on our relationship (I doubt you can call it a relationship; all I know is that it's not very healthy). There might also be a jealous third party, or Tristan might just be making things up for his own entertainment.
This is my coming-of-age story. I will try to avoid cliché's (or give note of them where they are due), I will try to tell the whole truth (sorry if I leave out some things, Tristan, but I don't exactly have the line of sight that your towering height provides) and I will try to convince you that whoever you are and whatever your circumstances, you can always turn it around.

"I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone.

Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth.

Love Comes Unexpected ✔
I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.

MISSION BADBOY [Wattys 2015]
'show begins in 1 guys anyone for popcorn and some drinks' I thought to myself * The next thing I did was not expected from anyone. Everyone's faces went pale. I struck that bastard so hard on his cheek that even lighting could get scared! His cheek was swollen within 2 minutes. Finally! I fell so good after slapping him. Shock was written all over his face. This was one of the most last things he would expect me to do? Well know he will know better than to mess with me. Just as I was about to turn and walk away he caught my wrist. " what on earth did you think you just did you small girl!" he yelled on my face. I put both my hands on either side of his desk and bend down to match his face "what do you think !?" I retorted with pure hatred while a nasty smirk played along my face to emphasize a bad girl. He was speechless. Once again I smirked in victory. At least I was heading somewhere. I walked back to my seat and hear him mutter under his breath " I am going to ruin you, you little witch!"

Baby boy ✔️
"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me." Jakob shoots back a hint of defence in his tone. Was he offended? "Still." I laugh out. "You could be my baby boy." I smirk sending Jakob a wink. - THIS IS NOT A SEX STORY!!!!! The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book.
