INICIAR SESIÓNOn a scale of one to ten, my life had always dangled between three and four, thanks to my very wretched humble background, until the day it hit zero. "I will give you the money on the condition that you send that text to Asher." Mia Harper began with a mischievous smile on her face. "Asher?" I repeated. "You heard me right." No way. Asher Thorne was the hottest, attractive and most popular kid in school. Bad boy, star hockey player, arrogant and snobbish, were the perfect words to describe him with. He hardly ever smiled and didn't talk to just 'anybody'. I stared down at the ridiculous message typed on my phone screen... And that was how it all started for the scholarship student, Grace Williams, the cool genius who preferred to stay invisible and out of trouble. But not for long. Thanks to Mia, she gets tangled with Asher and fresh troubles that came with their forbidden alliance. Determined to tame the bad boy, she steps into a world of secrets, rivalry, and dangerous attraction. Will she survive it? And more importantly… will she dare to step into the love zone?
Ver másRegan eyed me suspiciously. "Are you daring me?”As much as she was trying to play the hard man, I knew she was surprised I didn't give a hoot."Perhaps, she believes she has a lot of backup now.” Lisa said with spite.Oh yeah? Is that what it looked like?"You know what? I'll give you one last opportunity.” Regan said, letting down her phone. “Come to our house after school." “Why?" I demanded with scorn. I don't see how it had anything to do with the video."I'm not calling you over to stay. I've got a job offer for you. The pay is amazing.” She said. "It's my mum offering it anyway, not me. So don't disappoint her. She made a good referral for you already." She turned around to go.“Tell her I'm not interested, okay?" I wasn't sure if Regan heard me, but I didn't care. The team had practice after school, and Asher pleaded with me and Ralph to wait.Ordinarily, I would have left for his grandma's store or Suzella's house, but Suzella said she was going out of town with Corn for so
“We meet again today, Mrs. Thorne." Mr. Rockwell, Xena’s dad, greeted with a plastered smile. Mrs. Thorne responded very sweetly. “Oh, it's so good to see you here. I also came to have dinner with the kids." “Ah…I see.” His gaze rested on me.Xena’s brother was cute, no doubt. Was he a model or an actor? He had the perfect build of one. I think he looked familiar. I felt very uncomfortable with the way he stared at me. I would rather prefer his sister's blazing eyes.“Aren't these the scholarship students in their sophomore?” Mr. Rockwell asked with a hint of scorn."Yeah, they are Asher's friends. They're also the top of their class too. Very nice girls.” Mrs. Thorne said smoothly."Hi, I'm Danny.” Xena’s brother stretched his hand to me for a handshake to my surprise. "And you are?”"I… I'm confused.” I said without taking his hand."Why?” He asked. Lord his bass voice was what every girl will die for.I shook my head in hesitation and finally took his hand not to keep it hanging.
"Here's the thing.” I heaved tiredly. "I'll go with them and pick up my bags myself, so I can properly thank their parents for their help so far." I explained.I think Suzella was glad at my response, and I was happy she understood.I refused to enter Asher’s car in the school, and walked out with Suzella instead. I told him to face his practice with the others, and come pick me up at his grandma's store later. I wanted to say hi to her. Besides, Suzella had some little errands to run for her.Mrs. Kent was very happy to see us. We had arrived just in time. There was a heavy surge of customers, and Marie was absent again. “Don't you think you should employ more workers?" Suzella asked her sharply after the mass of customers had toned down. Marie was back by then, and Mrs. Kent offered us cup noodles as we sat at a table, discussing.“I need just two workers. I have Marie already, so I will need just one more person." She said.I didn't feel very comfortable because her gaze lingered
"Having fun with my girlfriend?” He demanded stiffly.Terry and Matt who were behind him erupted in loud cheers, clapping. I was irritated when Suzella joined too.Ralph laughed, patting Asher gently on the chest. "Hey, today's my first day, bro. Let's not do this.”“Exactly. Let's not do this." I turned around abruptly and hurried off way ahead of them. I wasn't going to stand with them to my embarrassment. Unfortunately, I walked into Xena and her subordinates, Eva and Jamie.Xena gave me a hard condescending stare, and they blocked my way as I tried to walk past."You dared come back, huh? Aren't you scared of dying?”I took out my phone and put it on record. "You care to repeat what you said?”Xena snatched the phone before I could blink, and smashed it hard on the floor.Now I would have to get a new one after school.“Why don't you pick a fight with me instead, and leave her out of this?" Asher toned behind me. My heart raced. We'd just barely resumed. I turned around and push
She jerked back in fear when she saw me. I noticed she had my phone. I frowned. “Is there a problem?” “No… nothing. I was… I'm actually searching for my phone, so I thought I should dial it instead of breaking my head trying to find it in this big space.” She chuckled nervously. “Asher? Where
However, the guys and I didn't want her to meet Grace here, because it would only be a disastrous idea. So we made her hide in my car.Just as we anticipated, Xena made her driver stop and emerged from the car. “Why have you been ghosting me?” she demanded, looking like a movie star in her heavy ma
Where was I? Yeah, I was talking about my granny. So I decided to go see her after school that Tuesday afternoon and make sure she was okay. She was so happy to see me.“Bennie darling. Were you going to surprise me? Didn't you say you wouldn't make it?" My middle name is Benjamin, and I was Ben
"Asher! Are you crazy?!" I pulled away from him swiftly. Fortunately, it looked like no one was watching, because almost everyone was in the hall already.“I see what you're trying to do." Corn said, "You're only playing childish because you're still a child." He took my hand and we walked away. I
