James Stirling is a little clueless when it comes to girls, there is no way around it. He has the classic jock physique but is anything but. James is sweet, smart, and athletic. The whole package. There is just one problem, Turner. Turner and him had known each other since the beginning of middle school. Turner had always been kinda shy around him and it wasn't until two years of knowing each other that Turner could say a complete sentence to him. Even since then all it had been was relentless teasing. Try as he might he couldn't bring himself to hate his classmate, and one day he finds out her not-so-little little secret. He suddenly feels this incredibly strong urge to protect this girl who once seemed so innocent. Hi, I'm Turner Nickleson. I'm kind of what you call socially impaired, in fact my friend Kenzie said if I wasn't so funny I wouldn't have any friends. I just called her a bitch. With my dull, dark red hair, flat chest, and tiny waist, I wasn't exactly project runway. Oh, you thought I was a dude? Blame my mother, she was obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean, all of the movies. Any who, my life mainly consisted of school, orchestra, work, and Wattpad. I loved Wattpad. Kenzie is forever teasing me about that, and about Stirling. Back in 6th and 7th grade I had a little crush on him, but I quickly got over that. Sure, he was cute and all, but so were other people. Besides, I met my dream guy. Zac was sweet, caring, and a total cutie. Until my dream turns into a nightmare. What happens when James confronts Turner? Will she accept his help? Can James find a way to save her? Does Turner even want him to?
She has been hurt
She has a dark past that haunts her
He cares
She is scared that she will give him the power to destroy her
She mustn't fall too
Love is stupid to her
He sees love as life
She sees love as another opportunity to get hurt by someone
He wants to know why she's this way
But she dare not speak
The fear shuts her mouth.
"Why don't you wanna tell me what's wrong?" I ask her staring into her blue orbs
"I don't wanna talk about it,Jason"
"I'm sure I can-" I start but she cuts in
"Don't say you can help.. I don't wanna hear it,just go away.. Can't you see? I'm not good.. you shouldn't be with me" she snaps,tears forming in her eyes
"Are those tears I see?" I ask surprised
"Jason,just go away. It's no use" she says softly
Well,let's just say I'm a bit curious.. Immediately she became my lab partner,I knew there was more to what I was seeing.. She's coded and I always sense a glint of sadness whenever she tries to act all badass and savage.. Ruby Aldine,a girl I wanna discover,not because I love studying.. Nah,but because something draws me closer to her and I have this enthusiasm to help her.. She's in luck because Jason Hart never gives up.
I love to learn about new stuff,and Ruby Aldine might just be my next case study... Being in the top five most popular guys at school isn't easy,and I'm mostly known for my looks and brains. I know,it's a win-win.. I know this journey wouldn't be easy,but what can I do? Guy's gotta learn..
