His to ruin
ONGOING STORY: This story alternates between Lena's POV and Ronan's POV. The chapters have the characters names written on them so you know which POV you are reading as. He ruled the halls like a king-untouchable, merciless, and cruel. I was the nobody who dared to defy him. Ronan Blackwood was every girl's obsession and every guy's fear-except mine. With icy gray eyes and a cruel smirk, he turned torment into an art form. And I was his favorite canvas. He called me a challenge. A toy. A girl from the wrong side of town who didn't belong in his world. But I didn't flinch. I didn't back down. Not when he shoved my books off the desk, or whispered venom into my ear. Not even when he made me cry in the girl's bathroom. Because I knew something he didn't. Bullies fall hardest when they fall for the one girl they swore they'd break. And when Ronan finally unravels, it won't be because of love. It'll be because he made me his to ruin-but I never agreed to stay ruined.
