"A beauty, isn't she? Want to take a ride with me?" I turn and see him, I was too busy admiring his car and did not hear him approach me. "I was right." I absentmindedly state, at his confused look I rush to explain. "I mean, I thought it was your car...and I was right." He smiles and gives a little laugh.
"Well ok then, that isn't weird at all. How did you know it was mine?" feeling absolutely stupid in that moment, I decide to ignore the question and walk towards my car, getting in before he can get another word in. His muffled laugh is audible through the closed door of my car, and I feel my face flush red...and with that, I pull out of the school parking lot and head home.
Edith Jones, an academic guru and closed off. Edith's past has always been a major part of her life, a part that holds her back, that scares her. She shuts most people out and spends most of her days alone in her room. All that changes when resident bad boy, Maverick Samuels, enters the picture. Edith hates change, she can't stand having things any different than what she is used to...so why does he make it seem so alluring?
NEW CHAPTERS WILL BE POSTED EVERY MONDAY, THE FULL BOOK WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED ALL AT ONCE.
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire.
"You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside.
"I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me.
"I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around.
"You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me.
I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically.

I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress.

Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :))
I like to think I'm funny. After all:
