Even though girls being jealous of me sounded like one of the most ridiculous things I’d ever heard.

He paced the small space, trying to shake the memory of her teasing smirk, the way her eyes had danced with amusement. He wasn’t used to this kind of attention.

🚩 Third Person's POV 🚩 Lucy Leiberman was warming her daughter, Harper's dinner in the kitchen and humming to Ed Sheeran's thinking out loud. She was waiting patiently for the microwave. She wants to tuck Harper in because she doesn't want her to stay late today. The little girl thinks she also have the right to sleep late just like her Mummy and Daddy but she doesn't know she is still little. Her mummy tells her she is still a baby but she argues and replies with, "Stop calling me a baby, mum. I'm an adult." or when she is not in the mood to argue, she just shrugged and say, "you won't understand." And it's true, neither her Mum nor her Dad understand why a 6 year old girl will claim to b

At least my aim is still perfect, a small consolation for what's left of my dignity. "See? That's what it's about, Miranda," he says as he rubs his reddened forehead. "You're one of the brightest agents I know, but you can't control your impulses." He sighs and picks up my agenda from the floor, bringing it back to the table. "Better luck next time, little pretender" With that, Adam turns around and leaves. I hate to admit it, but even Adam is right. Maybe yoga isn't such a bad idea after all.

“You and Gabriel freaking Anderson are trending in the school chat. Babe, you’ve officially broken the internet. Queen bee potential.” “Please don’t,” I groaned, rubbing my temples. He ignored me completely, shoving his phone in my face. “Look look look! Someone caught the exact moment he grabbed your hand. Girl, the slow motion edits have already started.

"You shouldn't have done that! You know how limited your judgment is. You could've been duped and taken advantage of so easily!" Xavier always thought I was stupid. He had always believed that if I ever left him, I would be completely helpless. And yet, Morgan didn't see me that way. We had only met and talked for a few hours the night before, but he had praised my intelligence more times than Xavier had in years. He thought I was incredible for recognizing every luxury brand and designer item I saw. He thought I was amazing for knowing the price of a bottle of wine off the top of my head and realizing that the manager had massively inflated it to punish him.

Just entertainment for people who wanted to feel superior to someone else's mistakes. I stopped leaving my mom's house unless absolutely necessary. People recognized me from photos in the podcast promotional materials. They would stare and whisper. Some asked for selfies like I was famous.
