"How does that make you feel, Knockout?" he asks under his breath. I press my lips together and his eyes follow. "You know what I think? I think you're scared." I snap out of my momentary stupor, eyes narrowing. "Shut up." "You are. Scared to admit you like me, aren't you?" I laugh sharply. "You are so conceited, it's unbelievable. Have you ever thought maybe it's possible for a girl to not be interested in you?" "Oh, it's possible." He doesn't disagree. "But not you." "Why?" I decide to ask, wondering what it'll take to finally get it through his skull that I want nothing to do with him. "Why me? Why does it matter to you so much that I like you?" ༺༻ From the outside looking in, Kelly Blake's life is perfect. She's at the top of her classes with a loyal best friend and a bright future. But under the surface, Kelly finds herself struggling to be the perfect, responsible daughter and sister in a broken family. Things only become more complicated to navigate when Kelly's path is crossed with the new heartthrob on campus, Harry Daniels-as well as her delinquent brother's equally as bad best friend, Lake Lawson. ༺༻ Book #1 in the Connections series
