The Bimbo and The Punk Girl (Discontinued)
" Will you be my super hot punk girlfriend ?" she smirked questioning me in a painfully cheesy manner. I laughed feeling my body relax at the horrible phrasing of the question. " That was so corny" I stepped closer to her, our lips almost touching. " Yeah, but you liked it though. I can tell by the bright red blush on your face" she retorted like a smart ass. Mocking the trope I responded, " O-Only if you are my gorgeous girly g-girlfriend". I was falling over my words now more excited than anxious. She wanted to be my girlfriend. My heart skipped a beat at the thought. " Now that was way more cliche than me but- " she scoffed, closing the gap between our lips. " Deal" she smiled, kissing me and giggling in the same giddy I felt. _______ This is the official book for Blue and Sadie's story!! Most LGBTQIA+ media I saw growing up followed depressing plots and had devastating endings. I wrote this book as a way to give us a cute and heartwarming representation. Again thank you to everyone who decided to support me from my wlw imagines and I hope you all enjoy it. Love you all to pieces. - M.JComplete

I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.
