"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.

Not His
Haley Parker wanted nothing to do with guys - at least none of the guys her parents were always trying to set her up with. She was tired of the whole charade - the countless schemes, moving all the time, saying goodbye to friends and life as she and her brother Dustin knew it - everything. It's no wonder she's not expecting much as she's moving yet again to a new place in Boston. However, turning 18 and independent in under a year, Haley's parents are running out of time to get her engaged (more like betrothed) to a guy of their approval. Not ready to give up yet, they hatch a plan to get her married to the seemingly perfect James Kacey who lives a few houses down. Meanwhile, Haley is only making enemies for her hit list at her new high school - Griffin Johnson, typical arrogant bad boy who wanted the whole school to love him, easily scoring #1 on that list. But as much as these two claimed to hate each other, would they be able to put aside their differences and actually become friends? More importantly, will Griffin be able to save Haley from her most unwilling betrothal to James? A short story. [Editing. I eventually plan to publish a more fleshed out version of this story, along with fixing a few mistakes I made.]Complete
