Crash into You

It was the end of Clare Morgan's senior year at school and she still hadn't had a single boyfriend or even a date for that matter, but that all changed when the most popular guy in school blackmailed her into spending time with him. Now she needs to figure out if he's just trying to win a bet to sleep with her before his rival does, or if he's as broken as she is.

Excerpt:

"You're Clare, right? You sit in front of me in English class." Devlin McKellen was talking to me, using actual words in full sentences - at a party where people might see him socializing with me. I'd heard him speak to other girls before, and I imagined their knees turned to jello just like mine did at the low husky 'I'm so damn sexy and I know it' voice of his. "You do speak English, yes?"

"Why are you talking to me?" And this question right here was why I hadn't had a single date all throughout high school. Or maybe it was because every time any guy spoke to me, my mind began to race with thoughts like if I'd remembered to put on deodorant that morning. Did I smell like sweat -. did he think I smelled like sweat. Trust me, you can't have a meaningful conversation about homework assignments if you're worried you smell bad.

So I did what I always did under the circumstances, I turned on my heel and quickly walked away.
