It's hard to tell someone else's story without telling your own.
That story was Alice Variet's and Daniel Preten's story. The story of the typical bad boy and good girl. The bad boy interested in the good girl and the bad boy eventually winning her.
But this is not her story.
Well it is.
Because I'm telling her story.
But I'm also telling mine.
Being black, wearing glasses and having the image of a good girl means that being these two's best friends is no easy feat, especially when everything has changed when Alice came back.
People change.
Secrets are made.
Memories are made.
Bad and good.
Memories are remembered.
Good and bad.
But someway I will find the courage to break my silence and to say my farewell.
After all it is hard to tell someone else's story without telling your own.
But who I am? Read and you will see.
You will find me by the sidelines.

Mr. Bad Boy Saw Me Naked
COMPLETED The existence of grammatical errors, misplaced words etc. is exorbitant as the majority of the book had been written when I was 13. Read at your own risk. - - - "He was standing there in all his glory while I was standing here in all my ...nakedness..." The sentence that you have just read could exactly describe the situation I am in. - - - Have you ever been put in a situation in which you can't speak, think or move? Well, I had. And it wasn't in front of anyone, but in front of the school's supposedly bad boy. Hooray me, am I right? I am one of those outsider girls, who doesn't like to associate with anyone, and, on top of that, a so-called teacher's pet, too. Although that didn't seem to stop the bad boy from taking an interest in me. Funnily enough, he wasn't the person to initiate a conversation by simply approaching me. That was in no way possible, of course. It's a lot more complicated than that... Well, actually it's not that complex... He saw me naked, that's the reason... - - - CLICHÉ STORY! Contains cursing and/or swearing. IN THE COURSE OF HEAVY EDITING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CHANGE SOME OF THE PLOT. The book is a work of fiction. Nothing had really existed, happened or is really happening. #4 in Teen Fiction : January 18 2016 Mr. Bad Boy Saw Me Naked. Copyright © 2015. All Rights Reserved to Aira Sakae.Complete
