Shes Not That Cute Novels & Stories

“You can’t even say the word.” “I can say it!” I shot back. “Sex, sex, sex, sex—“ “Alright, you proved your point,” Nate said, glancing around the cafeteria before giving me a teasing smile. “Cute.” I tensed at that word. Cute? I was tired of being called cute. I didn’t want to be cute. It was time for me to be taken seriously, and not patted on the head like some puppy. “Can I think about it?” Nate asked. At least it was better than nothing.

I had more of that than I could spend. And I'm sure you're saying, what's wrong with cute? It's way better than fugly, right? And, sure, I guess. In the same way that a C+ is clearly better than a D. But that doesn't make it something to aspire to. Cute is for children. Puppies and kittens are cute.

“This will be proof of that.” She snorted. “Hmm, maybe I slapped you way too hard that it messed up with your brain.” “No,” he smiled seductively which made him look even sexier than usual. Sexier?! She scolded herself. Shane was just as good looking as Flynn, so stop thinking like he was any different! You had seen tons of hot guys on the internet, guys who were much hotter than Flynn freaking Ascott. “Oh, was it not hard enough?”

"An ogre." “Like Shrek.” He sucked in a breath and she closed her eyes. “Shrek? Like an ugly, green, grouchy ogre?” he asked. “I didn’t think he was that ugly. I kind of thought he was cute,” she said. Dear. Lord. She was digging herself a bigger and bigger hole. “Cute?” “Yes, cute,” she said. “And ogre was just one of the options I threw out there. There was also a lion or a tiger or a whale—”

“You look adorable.” She scrunched her nose at me and planted her hands on her hips. Tapping the toe of her combat boot into the dirt, she grumbled, “I was going for sexy, daring, totally badass.” “You’re all of those things, but you’re still cute. Trust me, there isn’t a warrior here today that won’t follow your command.” “Do you think they’re mad at me?”

“You could say I’m in my cutesy era.” I gave her an ‘I don’t believe you’ look because I didn’t. Did she think I was dumb enough to buy that story? Cutesy era? Oh, please. Alice hated pastels and cute things. Heck, she almost convinced me to get rid of everything cute that I owned. They were for kids, she said. You’re too childish. Men love sophisticated women, and sophisticated women don’t like these things, she said. Now she’s contradicting all her advice.

she told me with a pout and I didn’t know when I chuckled with a wide smile on my face. “You’re so cute, Yara,” I told her and she made a face with a scowl. That only made me smile wider and she looked angrier. She was really pretty when she was pissed. “I’m not cute. Don’t call me that” she corrected and I tilted my head to the side. “And why is that?” I wanted to know why. “I’m a warrior, Denver and warriors are not cute when they can flip anyone over their soldiers” she answered and I shook my head.

"You look amazing today! This dress is from NE, right? I've seen it in magazines. It looks better on you than on the model." Shelby was about twenty years old. She had a slim figure. With her long chestnut hair casually tied up, she looked very cute, just as sweet as her role. But actually, she wasn't as gentle as she looked. She replied in a bland tone, "Something wrong?"

She leans in and bumps my shoulder. I roll my eyes, “I was prepared for this. I know I don’t have a choice. Just promise me you won’t make me wear something too flashy.” “No promises!” She scrunches up her nose and beams. “Seriously though. We were thinking of something simple yet elegant for you Adea. You’re already a natural beauty but I was thinking something that could highlight your curves and make your eyes pop.” I look over and see Shane smiling at my discomfort. I’ve never been one to dress up and he knows it. “You can put makeup on a pig but will it be pretty?” he jokes and his friends howl with laughter.

"You're not used to apologizing, are you?" “What are you saying? I'm not blushing,” she denied. I tried to hide my smile. “Hmm, but in fairness. That nerd is cute, huh. Especially when he's not wearing his thick glasses. He's got expressive eyes.” She gave me a disgusted look. “He's just the same age as me! You sound like a cradle snatcher, Cresia.” I almost laughed at Caren. “I just find him cute," I said. "I didn't say I have a crush on him. FYI, I don't like guys younger than me."
