You have all seen him. The scrawny kid with glasses. The nerd, the class-topper, the kind that can go in front of a crowd and deliver a speech with perfection, but can't string together two words at a party. You call him arrogant because he never comes to your little get-togethers, when he is actually scared to death to come. He seems content with life, as if he has everything he wants, but in reality, there is emotional hell-fire burning inside him. He knows he is unique and different and he accepts that, but deep down he would give anything to be like you. He is labelled a nerd, and as having no emotions other than to study, but to be true, he experiences a range of emotions you may not even be capable of.
This is his story, a story not told often. Take a look into his mind, his thoughts... and see if it's easy for him to live...

Kiss Gone Wrong
I was pinned to my bed. He left me no option but to stay in place. I tried to control my reactions, but couldn't help but sigh as Matt nipped my earlobe. His lips travelled down my neck, sending jolts of electricity all over my skin. His hands slipped under my t-shirt up and he swirled patterns all over my stomach. My mind was going numb and I was losing control. "Bailey!" My mother called from below and Matt placed his lips over mine so that I couldn't call out for help. I tried to push him away, but he simply held my hands in his. We heard my mother climb the stairs to reach my room and Matt smirked at me. "Let's see you talk your way out of this." Matt said and ran out of the window. The door opened and my mother gasped. "Bailey!" ************************************************************* Meet Bailey Stanford.
