"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one."
I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting.
Well, this year will be fun...

Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up.
There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years.
But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes.
She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual.
But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more.
Hopeless devotion, if you will...

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint.
"W-what," I breathed.
His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees.
I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls.
