Lunchtime detention on my first day back. Well done me. And now I have some twelve year old boy trying to be funny, flinging litter onto the floor for me to pick up. Kill me now.
"Did you drop anything else?" I whispered, my tone deadly threatening. "Your dick? But to be honest, I probably wouldn't be able to spot that, I imagine it's so small..." The other twelve year olds around the bench began sniggering with laughter while he glowed a light tomato red. "You're not funny," he snapped at me.
"Well I guess that makes two of us then doesn't it?" I retorted.
And I should have walked away, smirking a little, feeling fine. Except as I turn I walk straight into someone. I look up and I'm looking into a pair of rich chocolate eyes. He was tall with broad shoulders and messy brown hair that fell partly over his face. And then he says, "don't worry, I haven't lost any of my genitals. We're good." And I want to die.
When Alex meets Nico, the new guy, she can't help it. It's an instant attraction. But as her intrigue grows, and her feelings begin to deeper, he seems to be slipping further and further away. He has his own troubles and traumas and the thought of opening up to someone, anyone, terrifies him. But there's something about her. And the two seem drawn to each other.
Passionate, witty, and complicated: get ready.
