"Wait!" he cried, holding onto my wrist and swiftly turning me around. I gasped, my eyes widening as he stared at me intently, his deep gaze burning into mine. "I'd prefer it if you showed me around the house."
I glared at him. "If you're gonna live in this house, we need to have a standard set of rules," I seethed. "Rule number 1: Never touch me," I declared, yanking my hand out of his.
"But-"
"Goodbye," I said, slamming the door in his face.

If there was one thing Mia Summers knew her whole life, it was this:
When you hate someone with a burning passion, you'll ultimately end up falling in love them.
Wasn't it true? Don't all the main characters from those books and movies hate each other at the beginning, but then slowly fall in love with each other by the end?
But all her dreams go crashing down when Dakota Williams stumbles into her life.
Dakota Williams - the most popular guy in school. She always made it a point to never hate him, because hating him is just as bad as liking him. Hating him means that she'll ultimately end up falling in love with him - and there was no way she was ever gonna let that happen.
But when Dakota's parents have to go out of town for a family emergency, Mia's parents offer him a place to stay - in their own house. Suddenly, Mia and Dakota have to live with each other, and they become the most unlikely of roommates. She's desperate not to let Dakota get under her skin - to ignore him at all costs. He's desperate to make Mia see him as an actual human being - even if it takes getting on her very last nerves.
No matter how many times Mia seems to push Dakota away, he keeps finding a way to come back and get under her skin. Will he find a way to finally make Mia crack?
I was pinned to my bed. He left me no option but to stay in place. I tried to control my reactions, but couldn't help but sigh as Matt nipped my earlobe. His lips travelled down my neck, sending jolts of electricity all over my skin.
His hands slipped under my t-shirt up and he swirled patterns all over my stomach. My mind was going numb and I was losing control. "Bailey!" My mother called from below and Matt placed his lips over mine so that I couldn't call out for help. I tried to push him away, but he simply held my hands in his. We heard my mother climb the stairs to reach my room and Matt smirked at me.
"Let's see you talk your way out of this." Matt said and ran out of the window. The door opened and my mother gasped. "Bailey!"
*************************************************************
Meet Bailey Stanford.
The girl who everyone knows, but not everyone is friends with. The one who is invited to her share of parties, but prefers movie nights with her friends. The girl who is nice to everyone but will kill if someone insults the people she loves. Headstrong and opinionated, Bailey is not one to follow the crowd.
Meet Matt Anderson.
The boy who is so popular, that he allocates people to attend parties for him. The type of guy who will crash any party as long booze is available. The boy who has two girlfriends in a day. His attention span is next to nothing.
Witness the drama created when these two crash into each other at a party late one night. It's going to be a roller coaster ride for sure.
