'"I don't like you," I growled. "You may look like a god, and kiss like one too, but I really, really dislike you."'

        - Purity Jones to Kennedy Miles

*There was some serious editing done to the first 9 chapters and if you read them before July 31st, 2013, they need to be reread. Sorry for any inconvenience, but the writing quality is probably at least a bit better now.*

Purity Jones has always been the good girl, and she'd thought that she always would be. But now... Well, she's not so sure. After her cousin pulls her into a game of Dare or Die Basketball with four of her schools hottest jocks she's just a mess. When she finds out that jocks Aaron and Kennedy are way more than they seem she doesn't know what to do. It doesn't help that she's a nerd with no friends to talk to, and she might have a secret past as well! Betrayal, jealousy, and lust layer the air, and Purity needs to keep her cool through all of it, or risk losing everything.

BTW: I don't even know why this is rated R anymore... the original version had some racy stuff but I took most of it when I edited so this could be rated PG-13 now (but of course Wattpad isn't letting me lower the rating :/)

"How could you Asia?" I said angrily, the same time the boys came over. "When I want something and things are getting in the way, I get rid of them." She said looking at me and Yesha with a smirk. "Why do you want that slut anyway?" She asked, as Yesha gets out my hand. "Thanks that's a real nice compliment, but if you may remember it takes slut to know one. Which means you've either went around selling yourself to the bums on the street or you walk around the school begging for it.

Subject Me To Life [Book One] ✔️ *EDITING* by ViennaXo
59 parts Complete
BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes. (Editing chapters at random)

"That's enough out of you." Frank drew his hands along the tops of her thighs. Her flawless skin was soft and contradicting under his rough palms. That short pink skirt was high and snugged around her upper thigh. If he shoved it up, he could see those expensive panties she wore. When he moved his gaze up, finally settling to her eyes. "You maybe rich, princess but to me you are just a little spoilt brat." Those hazel eyes burned with rebellion. "And you are a dirty poor man." Her words maybe spiteful but her tone was breathy. Like silver drops of crystals dangling in the chandelier except it came tumbling down and crushing him underneath. Snickering, he sneered his next words. "That's where you are wrong, princess. I'm only a man." _ Venus Williams is a high society sophisticated student of Burbington High School. She has never felt the strapping needs of struggle and never endured pain. That also means she never felt love and pleasure either. Becoming student President was her only accomplishment and she was determined to do her best. Politics and manipulation was her usual playbook but getting caught in difficult tight places and sneered upon by the school's janitor was not. Frank Harris always had a hard life. He didn't trust in good things because of their shortened longevity. Hence, the best he does is to never hope. Although, Frank keeps catching the sexy brat in compromising positions and all they ever do is bicker, degrade and keep circling around each other. How long will they keep circling?
