LEECH: a sapphic boarding school bully romance (chapters 1-4)

Shannon:

I don't belong at Avonwood. They all tell me that. What I don't tell THEM is that I'd rather die than spend my life rotting away in the council estate I grew up in.

Amongst this world of wealth and opportunity, there's also Frances: the shadowy girl who draws my eye and hates my ever-living soul.

She hounds me, hunts me. She's there in every dark corner, ready to pounce.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. One of us has to break.

Frances:

I can almost pretend my hate for her came first, not the seizing of my heart and the roar in my head.

How can someone be your every trigger and also the drug you need to survive?

I can't bear her; I need her.

September marks our final year at Avonwood and I won't let her go quietly.

Author's note:

This is a bully romance. It gets dark in places. My girls are messed up and so are the things they do to each other. Love ultimately prevails but buckle up for some toxicity in the meantime.
