Crossroads
"You make me want to do things to you." He mumbles, his brown eyes never straying from mine. "What?" I whisper, nervous yet at the same time my heart pounds with excitement and anticipation. "Do you want to know what kind of things?" His low tone matches mine as he brings his face closer and I find myself robbed of speech due to our proximity. Taking my silence as his sign, he continues to lean closer. His lips caress my ear as he says "Things like this." Suddenly I feel something wet and thick being dumped onto my hair, soon the liquid drips down onto my shirt. Is that paint? Blue paint proceeds to slide down onto my shirt and my eyes widen when I hear Caleb howling with laughter. "Caleb fucking Carter!" I bellow and before I know it he breaks into a run, still laughing. ________________ Highest Rankings #1 - projectbadassgirls #1 - humor #8 - badboyComplete
His Sunshine | ✓

"No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

In the hopes of laying low, she decides to stay as far away from drama as humanly possible, and finish high school with her head to the ground. That plan gets thrown out the window rather quickly when she joins the Stone Twins' friend group-against her will, mind you-and becomes entangled in a feud between two powerful families. Her parents told her to stay away, and maybe she should have listened, but now she has no choice but to see it through. There is something dangerous lurking in the forest, and Alyssa knows she shouldn't play in the wolf's den, but she's already trapped in a world she has no understanding of but can't escape. A heritage of something mystical and unnatural is waiting for her, and she's already followed the beast into its lair.
