Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction.
I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction.
Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him.
He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire.
But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him.
He screams Danger. He is Danger.
Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more?
Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible.
I always play it safe and follow the rules.
I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school.
Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together.
People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together...
Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion?
Warning for strong language and mentions, and some steam in the chapters.... ;)

"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned.
"I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence.
"Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice.
"I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented.
Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying?
"You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door.
With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second.
"Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat.
...
He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before.
Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?
