"You can't make people love you, but you can make them fear you." -Blair Waldorf.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a funny thing, you know, how you can go from a doormat of a girl who sits at the back of class and always does her work, to suddenly being the center of attention at her school, dating the popular jock of the senior class. 

It's also a funny thing walking around like you own the place, like your the queen of the whole school and everybody loves and worships you, when in reality, everybody hates you and is just waiting to see you fall, and never get back up. 

Join Lindsay as she takes on High School and the drama that comes along with it, and how she stands right back up after a tough fall, always remembering to dust off her jeans, fix her glasses, and maybe even eat a donut or two. 

Okay, or three.

The thing about being a DUFF is, you don't always know you're one until someone points it out-like a big, awkward elephant in a room full of tiny, graceful gazelles. The acronym stands for "Designated Ugly Fat Friend," but if you've been crowned a DUFF, you probably already knew that. And if you didn't... well, congrats-ignorance really is bliss. Harper Grant didn't exactly volunteer for the title of DUFF, but then again, no one does. It's not like she woke up one day and thought, "Hey, I'd love to be the poster child for 'not pretty enough to date but funny enough to keep around.'" But high school has a twisted way of assigning roles you never auditioned for. One minute, you're just Harper-quiet, a bit out of the school norm, minding your own business-and the next, you're 'Harper the Whale,' the girl people avoid like the flu because they're afraid your unpopularity is contagious. For Harper, being the DUFF of Glendale High wasn't about being hideous or repelling people with bad hygiene. She had a cute face, thank you very much, and she could work a pair of jeans like nobody's business. No, her DUFF status was all about perception : Carly Chase's perception to be exact. One snide comment from the queen bee, and suddenly, Harper's slightly curvy body and quiet demeanor were grounds for social exile. And because high school social rules are about as logical as trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, no one wanted to risk befriending the 'whale.' So, there Harper was : the designated outsider in a sea of perfectly coiffed and curated teens, doomed to be the unremarkable backdrop to everyone else's homecoming selfies. But if there's one thing no one warned her about being a DUFF, it's this : sometimes, being on the outside gives you the clearest view of what's really going on inside. And Harper? She was about to do a lot more than just watch.

"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her. Carter Grayson is a 16 year old guy recently transferred to Olivia's high school. Tall, handsome guy with lean figure, hazel eyes, brown hair and smile to die for. He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.

"You're mine. And I don't think you wanna go against that." Her eyes dangerously darkened. He gulped, and nodded a yes. --- Everybody has a story. And sometimes, these stories go unnoticed and untold. Even if it's that hard-core and determined badass girl from the school or the one who stays hidden in the shadows with books piled up right in front of him. In a normal high school filled with players, jocks, Heartbreakers and badass personalities, a boy with blue eyes, gel soaked brown hair and adorable face gets claimed by the most feared girl in leather jackets. Lucas Clark was not your average teenage boy. Mean it, he was not. All around you could see boys of his age probably flirting, playing games, hanging out with friends and throwing parties like their life depended on them. But he was a nerd. He was a straight A student. And she was the bad girl of the school, Claire Cooper. When one meet turns out to be Claire claiming him hers, he is left devastated and knowing that not to mess with "The Claire Cooper", Lucas has no option but to give in. And when the complications arise, they are shattered but they find themselves in a better place than when he felt like he was practically being attacked by the bad girl of the school. #55 in teenfic #1 in badass #1 in goodboy #1 in badgirlgoodboy #2 in nerd #1 in good #15 in heartbreak #16 in teen

No one knows what I've been through or why I act the way I do. Most think its cool because well...I'm the quarterback...I hear the rumors and I don't mind them you know...Well thats what I thought until I met Haley.

I mean I can't afford another heartbreak. The first one.... P.S. You didn't hear from me but... this is a cliche story. Rich "Bad" boy and Stubborn Girl gets together.
