How To Survive A Bad Boy

"I'm tired of this, ok? I'm tired of you being hot one minute and cold the next. God, I'm an idiot. Why did I think Luke Hemmings would actually have genuine feelings for me? You're just like everyone else! The Sexy Bad Boy won't have anything to do with the nerd, oh no--" He pushed me against the wall, fire and desperation in his eyes.

"Damn it, Cassandra." He cursed, looking away. After a couple moments, he looked back. Leaning in, I felt his words on my lips. "Your making this really hard."

"I'm making what hard?" I whispered. I was practically burning with need.

"Staying away." He growled, crashing his lips into mine.

Cassandra "Cassey" Williams is a nerd. 'Prey' to the popular, 'Loner' to the rest. 'Quiet' to teachers, 'Stuck-up' to students. 'Mistake' to her parents, 'Attention-Whore' to her brother. Yep. Cassey's life sucks.When she fatefully and clumsily bumps into Luke Hemmings, the proclaimed Bad Boy of the school, life isn't the same.

Luke Hemmings is a Bad Boy. Total eye-candy, but he's never...gotten with anyone. No one-night stands, no long-term relationships. Nothing. Zip. Nada. So, when he catches Cassey in her fall to the ground he can't stop talking to her. Can't stop thinking about her. He's confused and intrigued, but determined to stay away, with one thought in his mind he knows is true: He has to protect her.
