❝ A venomous smile spread across his face. "Any day, any time, sweetheart. How about a friendly little bet?" ❞
Ever since know-it-all Serena Matthews started elementary school, she's known she was different from the other kids. She liked to read, looked forward to homework, and loved going to school each day. That wasn't enough to deserve to be bullied though, was it?
Apparently it was. Just as long as Serena has known she was different Paul Archer, asshole extraordinaire, has known this too. Over the years, he has set out to humiliate her in every conceivable way possible. But he has his reasons...or maybe he just really, really hates Serena.
But all that's just fine by Serena, who hates him back just as fervently. She has learned over the years to ignore Archer and his petty insults.
And it seems to work for the both of them, until one day during their junior year when an argument over who's smarter arises. And suddenly they have a bet, a trivia contest with one dangerous price: the winner will become the loser's master, ordering them around in whatever way they desire, for the next five weeks.
Let the games begin.

The Badass Nerd
"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips.

Wait and watch how I ruin your entire existence." He narrows his eyes at me, challenging me to come at him. "Are you sure you didn't just walk into the wall when you were young? You seem to have had your head hit pretty bad considering the consequential brain cells loss." I say while crossing my arms over my chest to get my point across. "Take care of those heavy words, blondie. You might just have to pay for them." That seemed to anger him so I smirked even more, despite him calling me blondie. Trust me, I've got that a lot. "It's okay, I anyways don't deal with cheap stuff like you." I throw him the most sarcastic smile I could ever muster. Told you it's a love-hate relationship.
