Completed "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked, glaring at him while he forcefully dragged me out of class. "You told me you need help, and here I am!" Blake yelled.

His Slut Of The Week || Wattys 2016
I smiled at him but tears were starting to blur my vision together. "I hate you." His smile faltered and he looked taken back, "Not like that, Drake. I hate you because you make me cry. You're supposed to beat up the guys who make me cry, not be one of them." "But they are happy tears, right?" he clarified. I smiled and nodded my head, before gripping his shirt, pulling his body against mine. "I'll never make you cry because you're sad, understood? I'm never leaving you." I didn't respond this time, I just sat in his lap, holding his torso and he played with my hair. "I don't know if I can let you in yet Drake," I told him truthfully, the one thing I had been dreading telling him. "I know. But I'll never hurt you like the others have. I-"he cut himself off and took a deep breath. "Riley?" he moved me away from his shirt. I looked at him in the eyes and say an emotion. One I hadn't seen in a long time and one I haven't seen in his eyes before. "Can I kiss you?" __________________ Drake was the player of the school. Everyone knew his name. Riley was the nerd of the school. No one knew her name. Complete opposites but for some reason, opposites seemed to attract. Riley knew that Drake had a new girl every week, but she felt like she could change him. And maybe she could. Maybe she'd be different. *Based on a true story*Complete

Bad Boys
{COMPLETED} Kyle was just Kyle. No last name, no family, no past. It was simple that way. Or at least it was easier than being Daniel, who cared too much to be anything but a coward. Kyle got decent cash from his side job, flunked classes on purpose, and had unlimited access to all the booze and drugs he could ask for. Was he a horrible person? Yes. Did he deserve to get busted? Definitely. Did he hate himself for it? Absolutely. But none of that mattered. Girls made for decent enough distractions as long as he drank himself to oblivion beforehand. And that was his plan. Go to the party, get shitfaced, get laid. Simple, just like Kyle. But he never anticipated a certain blue-eyed ghost to sit next to him and talk (flirting he could handle, talking was a different story, uncharted territory). And when the cops showed, he didn't think twice about hauling his ass up and booking it. The blue-eyed ghost was the idiot who stayed in the grass and let the cops slap cuffs on her. So it wasn't really his fault, but then again it was. And maybe that's why he said yes to her crazy, illegal proposal. Or maybe he just missed living. #1 in brokenpast #1 in fosterkid #14 in badboys #18 in bucketlist "It's something very different.
