Tessa is the picture perfect student with good grades, flawless attendance and a charming smile. With one year left to graduate high school and a bucket list imposed by her best friend, her goal is pretty much the same with an extra addition--tick off every item on the cursed bucket list. 

But trouble comes knocking in the form of blue eyes, muscled body and an ego the size of her head. What happens when the school's bad boy, Benjamin notices her in a boxing ring?

Bullied by the bad boy

　　I’m still grinning at the familiar faces inside the car. Calum. Leah. Mira. Calum doesn’t have a date but he will be alright. Ben’s hand rests on my knee, drawing my attention back to my handsome boyfriend. My eyes trail the length of him and my mouth waters. So hot. 


　　Ben offers me a glass of what the rest are drinking but I shake my head. I need to be sober for everything that will happen tonight. 


　　This is the first prom I’ll enjoy and I want to revel in it. His nose brushes mine. “Are you okay?” 


　　“Yes,” I answer in the same whisper so no one hears us. “This is going to be the best prom ever.”


　　We laugh at his promise. But I believe him. 


　　I cup his face, trace the dip of his jaw and lean closer to capture his lips. He tastes different, like wine. I giggle against his lips and pull back. 


Very much so
