Do you have something on your mind?" Rey questioned with folded arms. "No, not at all. I Just hope you don't mind me speaking to Candice here." I couldn't help this sudden boldness that came over me, just like at the party. I wanted nothing more than for it to go away. I felt like I would get myself into loads of mischief. ~~~~~~~~~🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹~~~~~~~~~~ Nathan was a handsome popular senior, living in a cliche bubble until, Candice, a beautiful loner, enters his superficial, twisted world.
