"See, that's the thing about guys like me." Allister smirks, with a glint of lust in his eyes. "Whether we want it or not, we always fall for girls like you."
He speaks cliché to me so fluently he almost makes it sound diverse, but it's all the same. Loads of bull crap.
As much I wanted his words to have zero effect on me, my body didn't cooperate. A blush started off in my cheeks making its way down to my neck. "Well . . . girls like me are smart," I speak up as a distraction from my traveling blush. "We don't fall for guys like you."
"You're lying, Selene, and we both know it." He whispers seductively in my ear, sending chills down my spine.
Yes, I'm lying. Of course I'm lying! Girls like me always fall for guys like him.
