"Go away, Jake," Colette muttered. "Oh, but sweetie, maybe I don't want to," Jake said, a smirk evident in his voice.
"WELL, I WANT YOU TO. NOW. GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
Colette had reached the end of her fuse. And she punched him. With most of the student body, watching.

Colette Adams, a tall, strong girl. If you asked most of her peers, "What do you think of Colette?", most of them would say, "Who's that?"
To her peers, she is invisible, until, a certain boy takes a keen interest in her.
Jake Brown, a semi-tall, arrogant boy. He's your typical jock, arrogant and cocky.
Every girl likes him, except for.
Colette.
Jake is determined to get Colette to like him. But, instead of talking to her like a normal human, he takes a different approach. This stupid plan, turns out to make Colette's life a living hell. Bullying, torment, and anger all mixed into one pot.
Colette's fusing is burning, and burning fast.
Good luck, Jake.
