"I knew if I wanted a relationship, I should find someone else. But I didn't want anyone else and I still don't." I managed to take his arm from around my waist without waking him up. Sighing with relief I was about to move closer to the edge of the bed but he grabbed me again, muttering something in his half asleep state. I tried to release his grip again but he woke up, grinning as soon as he seen me. His sleepy blue eyes looked at me. "Where are you going?" his grin widened. "I have to go." I whispered quietly, looking around the room. I really did have to go, I was supposed to be staying away from him wasn't I? The sun hadn't come up yet, it was still in the early hours of the morning. "Don't go." He groaned, pulling me in closer and squeezed my waist. I could sense his smile as he kissed my forehead. I didn't know what to do, his arms were more than inviting and I really didn't need a lot of convincing but I was starting to get tired of this secret thing again. Sure, Eric and I got along great, I really enjoyed his company but was it really worth lying to everyone about? *************** What happens when wallflower Florence and jock Eric decide to keep what's between them a secret?

Your Perfect Girl by Moexran

"𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑓 𝐼'𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡." Daphne Calbot had everything a high school girl could want. Gorgeous, rich, popular, she's the girl everyone envies! Except, of course, maybe Daphne herself. Kane Hopkins, on the other hand, is Summerset's resident robot. As student council president and valedictorian, Kane is all crisp shirts and cold stares. He lives by his color-coded schedules and has exactly zero patience for cheerleaders who think glitter cannons are a good idea. To him, Daphne is pure chaos. To her, Kane is allergic to fun. So naturally, when they're forced to co-plan the biggest pep rally of the year, things get... messy. Between flying pom-poms, glitter debates, and one very dramatic fall from the cheer pyramid (which Kane may or may not have caught her from like a rom-com hero), these two opposites can't seem to stay away from each other. And the more time they spend together, the more Daphne realizes Kane isn't just a robot-he's the only person who sees past her perfect mask. And for Kane? Daphne might be the only chaos he's willing to let into his perfectly controlled world. But with past traumas, pushy quarterbacks, and a whole school watching their every move, can the golden girl and the boy genius figure out their feelings before it's too late?
