The Darkness Within

"Are you afraid of me, Angel?" He asks with a glimmer of mischief in his eyes, "I think that you should be very afraid. I have done a lot of things that are only meant for story books. I am not a prince charming."

I smirk at him, "Well it's a good thing that I am not a damsel in distress."

He raises an eyebrow in surprise, but remains silent. He pulls a cigarette and lighter out of his pocket, I watch him light the cigarette and inhale deeply. He pulls it out of his mouth and exhales the smoke. My fingers itch, wanting to grab the cigarette and take a breath for myself.

He turns to me, "Want one?"

I clench my hands, trying to overcome my need for something unhealthy, "No thanks."

Outside, she is just a normal, geeky girl.
Inside, she's a spitfire. A girl with loads of talents and secrets.

It looks like luck isn't on her side when Emilia De Luca crashes into Ashton Lyle's car. Her plan of laying low for her final year of high school goes out the door when she decides to talk back to the so-called "Resident Bad Boy". Polar opposites in the outside, but little do they know, they are more similar than they think. Maybe they are exactly what each other needs to combat the darkness within.
