Why did the bad boy always have to change for the good girl? What if she changed for him?
The King of Hollow Hills wouldn't show kindness to anyone. Not even the good girl. He isn't that cliché.
Ella Janson is pretty good at giving people the benefit of the doubt, in fact, it's usually her downfall, but even she can't stand him.
What happens when he is falsely accused of stealing 70 grand? She helps him...just not in the way she should have.
Illegal decisions, an anger-driven ex-boyfriend, a single getaway car, and a bounty end up being the hot topics of her senior year.
All she wanted to do was graduate as senior class President, but now, she starts to wonder if she will even live long enough to accomplish it.
TW: drugs, alcohol
*This is a FIRST DRAFT* Once it is finished, I will be going back and rewriting/editing.

Mr. Bad Boy Saw Me Naked
COMPLETED The existence of grammatical errors, misplaced words etc. is exorbitant as the majority of the book had been written when I was 13. Read at your own risk. - - - "He was standing there in all his glory while I was standing here in all my ...nakedness..." The sentence that you have just read could exactly describe the situation I am in. - - - Have you ever been put in a situation in which you can't speak, think or move? Well, I had. And it wasn't in front of anyone, but in front of the school's supposedly bad boy. Hooray me, am I right? I am one of those outsider girls, who doesn't like to associate with anyone, and, on top of that, a so-called teacher's pet, too. Although that didn't seem to stop the bad boy from taking an interest in me. Funnily enough, he wasn't the person to initiate a conversation by simply approaching me. That was in no way possible, of course. It's a lot more complicated than that... Well, actually it's not that complex... He saw me naked, that's the reason... - - - CLICHÉ STORY! Contains cursing and/or swearing. IN THE COURSE OF HEAVY EDITING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CHANGE SOME OF THE PLOT. The book is a work of fiction. Nothing had really existed, happened or is really happening. #4 in Teen Fiction : January 18 2016 Mr. Bad Boy Saw Me Naked. Copyright © 2015. All Rights Reserved to Aira Sakae.Complete
