Emerald King has moved almost her entire life. Making herself at home in different places, 22 to be exact, along with her mother is all she's known. Her last move was good.
Until her bad luck caught up to her. Mix in a tragedy that rocks her world, she's packing her boxes to her 23rd location: her small Texas hometown. 

Never expecting to come back to her roots, she has to come to terms with her past and everything that has changed back at home. Familiar and new faces come into play for her new journey, but Emerald knows she has a lot of work to do on herself. What she doesn't expect is her bad luck to push her into trouble with the golden boy, Ollie Hastings. 

Emerald's journey in her latest move and last year of high school have a lot in store that doesn't disappoint, but leads to one question: How many moves will it take for her life to move forward?

His Bad Boy Ego | ✓ by apricitys
51 parts Complete
Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face. "Aubrey." _ _ _ Landon Carthy is an arrogant boy, who knowns to have absolutely no care in the world. Making girls suffer feels great to him. But what happens when a new girl in town becomes one of his victims? Will she allow him to walk upon her like all the other girls do?
