Now, usually I'm quite level headed. But right now? Right now my heart hammered frantically against my chest as he pressed closer.
Those mischievous green eyes bore into mine and I couldn't breathe, couldn't move, not even to mention think clearly.
His smell was intoxicating as he leaned in, closing the already too small distance between us. My eyes closed out of their own accord as his face inched closer, his breath dancing on my lips.
Just a few more seconds....
His deep laughter echoed through the room, bringing me back to reality.
"Now, now Leslie, here I thought you were the only girl unaffected by all my charm," he bellowed, wearing the most annoying smirk I have ever seen.
What the hell? What had just happened?
No no no no.
Taking my shocked silence as cue, Mason leaned a bit closer, whispering huskily, "I told you I'd get back at you Carter, and trust me I'm just getting started."
That asshole! Who does he think he is treating ME like I'm one of his little groupies?!
Oh, he think he's won??
He was right, this was definitely NOT over.
I'd teach him exactly why messing with Leslie Carter was a very, very bad idea.
*********************
Meet Leslie Carter, a headstrong girl who doesn't let anyone walk over her. When the school player, Mason Hayes, makes a bet that he can get Leslie to fall for him, she is determined to prove him wrong. Maybe even teach him a lesson or two.
Can Leslie resist all that is Mason Hayes? Can he break through the walls she's so meticulously put up? Maybe, maybe not... But it's sure going to be one hell of a ride to find out.
"What the hell?! Kennedy!"
I watch as Ryder turns around furiously and strides towards me.
Oh oh. Maybe I took it too far...
"What's wrong with you?! Did you really have to cover my car in pink sticky notes?!"
He steps towards me and I take a step back. He steps forward again and I step back until I'm up against the wall.
"Well if you would have left me alone when I told you to, I wouldn't have had to do it," I fire back.
He chuckles. "You don't know what you just got yourself into."
"What do you mea--"
I get cut off by his lips on mine. I freeze. What was happening? And why did it feel so good?
Ryder grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair. He bites down on my bottom lip softly. As I was about to part my lips, he pulls away.
"Better watch your back," he says. He smirks at me and then turns around to leave.
What just happened?
____________________
Kennedy is not like most girls. Instead of getting her nails done and gossiping, she would rather ride her motorcycle or dive jump.
She didn't have any friends back at her old school, but will that change when she attends a new one?
She meets the bad boy of the school, Ryder. One harmless prank of pouring some pudding over his head starts a whole other war.
They prank each other and start to realise that they might have feelings for the other person and the other person might have feelings for them. Will they use that knowledge to their advantage?
