Revenge always seems like the perfect plan.

Yet people don’t think of the consequences.

Clara Jones is one of those people.

She has a past, just like everyone else. Although her past is tainted. It’s been ruined, scribbled on, screwed up and trodden on. Her past was full of misery, confrontation and quite frankly, she’d love to forget all about it. But this past is holding her back; she takes one step forward and gets dragged two back.

So why not get revenge?

Why not ruin the lives of those who ruined hers?

But will it all plan out like she wanted it to?

After all, revenge is a funny thing. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. But once you do stop, do you really much better about yourself? Or does ruining a fellow human beings’ life just make you as bad as one of your victims?

Follow Clara on her quest to change her life. Whether that’s for better or worse; who knows…

The Badass Nerd by random_quills

"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. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her.

He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.

✗ "I'm sorry," I choked, the tears spilling down my cheeks. He shook his head and pulled me closer again. "Don't be sorry, just work on getting better," He said, rubbing calming circles on my back while I cried into his chest.
