Bad Boy Kisses

Dumped by her cheating boyfriend, Emilie finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of high school popularity and emotional turmoil. But just as she tries to pick up the pieces, an unexpected encounter with the school's notorious 'bad boy,' Jared McKingsley, throws her world into an even greater spin. He's dangerous, he's infuriating, and he just might be the one thing she never knew she needed. Will Emilie survive the drama, confront her ex, and discover what truly lies beneath Jared's bad boy facade?

The echoes of gossip about my breakup with Conner still felt like whispers behind every locker and hushed conversation in the hallways. Two days since I found him making out with some random girl from another town, and the humiliation clung to me like a bad scent.

Today, Monday, felt like the official start of my public pity party. Conner and I had been the 'it' couple for two years, practically royalty in the school's social hierarchy. He saw it as owning the place; I saw it as having a lot of friends. Now, everyone knew.

I closed my locker with a soft click, the sound too loud in my ears, and started for my first period class. Each 'sorry' or sympathetic glance from passing classmates felt like a fresh sting. I just wanted to disappear, to avoid any confrontation, especially with him.

Then, like a beacon in my self-pity, Hailey's voice cut through the noise, bright and irreverent. "Hello my sexy friend!" She grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief, and for the first time all day, my lips twitched into a genuine smile. God, I loved that girl.
