Kindle Notes & Highlights
I had never been one to be fazed by boys or fads. It just wasn’t in me.
So whats with the im so small pick me isms??
I suppose watching the shitstorm that was my parents’ relationship unravel had put me off the prospect of teaming up with another human for life.
Real.
“Shan!” Banging erupted on the other side of the bathroom door, dragging me from my impervious thoughts.
FINALLY SOME DIALOGUE!!!
2 Everything Has Changed
I know its probably not meant to be a Taylor Swift reference... But what if it is?
Lizzie received plenty of male attention regardless of the baggy trousers and messy hair she was sporting, proving the point that you don’t need to strip down and paint your face to attract the opposite sex.
Lmao
But where Claire was outgoing and, at times, a little overly excited, Lizzie was laid-back and slightly introverted.
What is with the constant info dumping??
Meanwhile, I was the tiny brunette who buddied up with the best-looking girls in class. Sigh…
Sigh indeed... Pick me
Sure, there was a steep grassy bank on the far side of the pitch that separated the fields from the courtyard, but I could make it up that without any problem.
Famous last words...
Moments later, I was free-falling backwards, tumbling down the muddy bank,
What did I say?
having been named as starting 13 for the esteemed youth team.
Ah so its his number on the book title...
After that, I had a ten-day break before returning to school and resuming my commitments with my club and the Academy.
Pleass give me a break... Will the info dumping ever end?!
My lifestyle and intense training regime required me to eat at regular allotted time frames. Every two hours was ideal for my body when I was consuming a 4,500-calorie-a-day diet.
Why the fuck do i need to know that??? Lmao
But that was my point, dammit.
Dammit, i swear if you keep saying that word... So help me
Boys was the appropriate word in this instance. These were boys. I played with men.
"OH BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS" Eyeroll
We had a cup qualifier match later this week, and unlike me, these lads had spent their free time being, well, teenagers.
Theyre perfect for each other... Both pick me's
Dammit.
Is this his favorite word?
She was tiny, seriously fucking small, barely reaching my chest in height. “You owe me a skirt,” she growled, still clutching the fabric by her hip. “And a pair of tights,”
So she got bullied for her entire life but is easily standing up for herself now? Right...
A pained hissing sound tore from her throat then, and the hand she was using to hold her skirt shot to her temple, causing the scrap of fabric to fall away from her body.
WHAT???
She slipped her hands into the sleeves and I felt an immense amount of relief when the hem fell to her knees, covering her up. Christ, she really was a tiny little thing.
Ew ew ew ew stop infantilizing her every chance you get
Was she even old enough to attend secondary school?
Ew ew ew ew thid is the love interest saying that!!! Like this is gross
She didn’t look it. Right now, she looked very, very young and…sad?
This is a very weird thing to say
She was in my jersey and it fell around her like a dress.
WE GET IT. WE FUCKING GET IT.
she whimpered, so frail and small and covered in shite.
STOP OMG WE GET IT ACTUALLY STOP
Twomey huffed. “She was already pulled out of Ballylaggin Community School for being verbally and physically attacked.
WHY WOULD YOU TELL A STUDENT THAT????
“Hold up,” I snapped, registering his earlier words. “What do you mean she was attacked
Sigh...
I looked down at the tiny little female under my arm. Who could attack her? She was so small. And frail.
STOP STOP STOP
Reaching up, she clutched my forearm with her small hand and sighed.
I just sighed too...
“It’s okay.” I felt her slip and pulled her upright, holding onto the tiny thing for all I was worth.
Every. Other. Scentence
I kept my arm wrapped around her bony little shoulders, not daring to leave her side for fear of her falling.
The infantilization continues...
She opened her eyes, and fuck me, I unintentionally sucked in a sharp breath. Jesus, this girl was beautiful
Here we go...
It was going well—right up until she face-planted on my dick.
I... I hate this book
Well, it wasn’t so much my cock being broken as it was the surrounding area, but getting hard could result in me passing out right alongside her.
Huh?
“Yeah,” I said, tone thick now. “I promise.” “God,” she groaned, grimacing now.
I cant with the writing lol
“I’ve got your back.” “No, you got my head,” she croaked out. She glanced down at her body and sighed. “Actually, I think you ruined all of me.” Thank fuck for that, because you’re ruining all of me right now, I thought to myself.
Eyeroll
Jesus, where the hell did that come from?
Im wondering the same thing
I didn’t need the hassle. Girls were a fucking complication I didn’t need, even little ones with wild blue eyes.
Stop calling her little... PLEASE. Its bad enough on top of her being two years younger...
“Well,” he began slowly. “She had her pussy and ass out, Cap—a very nice ass that matches the very nice rest of her—so yeah, lad. There’s been talk.”
Gross
I saw that look in her eyes. I heard it in her voice. That vulnerability. She wasn’t like the others. This girl was different. I barely knew her, but I could tell that this one needed minding.
OH NAH. This is so weird!! Why are we treating her like a child??!
My type was older—with every girl I’d ever been with having at least a couple of years on me. Sometimes many more
IM SORRY? YOU WHAT?
I liked Bella because she didn’t breathe down my neck. At nineteen, she had a couple of years on me, she didn’t hold me to some invisible standard
So were normalizing older illegal relationships... Why?
I was too comfortable and too lazy to do anything about it. She wanted my dick. That was it.
This book is so vulgar
especially when you refer to girls as fair game.” Shaking my head, I added, “They’re girls, McGarry, not Pokémon cards.”
As if your stakin claim on her is any better
“I bet yer one Shannon won’t be saying that,” Ronan snarled, forcing himself back into the room. “Or should I say, she won’t be able to,” he grinned darkly, eyes locked on my face, “when my cock is buried down her throat.”
Ok im about done... Thats so gross
“You don’t have to like me, but as your captain, you sure as shit will respect my authority on the pitch.”
Were not on the pitch. Youre just being an ass.
“I’m your daddy on the field, bitch.” I smiled darkly
He did not just say that lmfao PLEASE STOP
with a penchant for fucking school admins
He what…?
Unfortunately, the visual of the plastic-breasted woman getting dicked on the screen and the loud audio of her “fuck me harder” sexy-as-hell screams made it virtually impossible for me to get it down.
TMI
I would be leaving Ballylaggin and all the begrudging Ronan McGarrys behind me.
No youll be Ronan at the bottom of the totem pole
Until I made it—and I would make it—I would continue to make the sacrifices and remain focused, dedicated, and undistracted from bullshit teenage drama.
Famous last words
I was used to coping alone, being alone, sitting alone, eating alone… You get my drift.
You? Who she talking to
