After (After, #1)

by Anna Todd

I like Tristan; he seems really nice despite his overuse of eyeliner.

What

Though I would love to know your opinion on what is good music.”

Probably tswift

“Well, I like Bon Iver, and the Fray,”

Why is this worse

I sigh. So he took me here to exercise?

Exercise shouldn’t bother you considering how much you run your mouth

Hardin doesn’t say anything as he pulls his black T-shirt over his head.

This is the skin of a killer, bella

The water in the spot where Hardin is standing goes only to his chest, which means it would reach just under my chin.

Omg height difference

My hand flies up to plug my nose; I haven’t mastered swimming without my nose plugged.

My god she is SUCH a cracker

“These lips… the things you could do with them,” he says slowly, seductively.

Idk it’s not THAT seductive

“I want to…”

And I want you to be faithful to your bf

The infinity symbol is common enough, mostly among women,

Is she gendering the infinity symbol

I pull my matted, almost dry hair into a bun

Oh no she’s gonna get sold to one direction

I hit the ignore button and toss my phone back onto the passenger seat. I am not thinking about Noah right now.

GIRL

Since when am I the type of girl who has to “touch up her makeup” before her boyfriend comes?

She’s becoming just like other girls

It’s from the Gap,”

THE gap?? Is that what it’s called

My words hurt him. He looks hurt. And I know it’s wrong to leave him here, but right now the only thing I can think about is getting to Hardin.

God tessa is so awful

He walks over to me quickly. “Are you okay? What happened?”

Who did this to you?

“Someone I don’t want to be, someone who cheats on their boyfriend and cries constantly,” I explain.

Idk if you can blame this all on him

“Why is that so bad? Why do you need the label?”

NO

“Tell me, Theresa,” he coos and I whimper.

This is really cringe

“Sorry, but something is not right there. If you were mine, I wouldn’t be able to stay away from you. I would fuck you every chance I had.”

:/

Why am I giggling?

I’m wondering that too

His expression is dark but so sexy.

This book really makes you FEEL like you’re reading a bad wattpad fanfic

“You should dress for your body, Tessa. These clothes you wear hide all of your curves. If I hadn’t seen you in your bra and panties, I would never know how sexy and curvy your body actually is. That skirt literally looks like a potato sack.”

This feels so icky

“You want me to, don’t you?” he purrs,

Purrs? Is this an sjm book?

He looks so peaceful, so beautiful despite the pieces of metal in his face.

Why is she Still so weird about his piercings

how stupid can I be?

Really stupid apparently

“I would want to know if I was him,”

Why am I actually agreeing with hardin for once

“I mean it, I don’t want to see her again! And if I do, I will ruin her!”

What can I say except cringe

I had assumed we would be going somewhere like T.G.I. Friday’s or Applebee’s, not a biker bar and grill.

GOD she’s so white

She’s so irritating, with her stupid pink hair and her skanky clothes. She is a slut.

Oh!

“Wait. She ordered her burger with no ketchup,” Hardin says loudly,

HE SAID NO TOMATOES

He seems to like when Molly dresses this way, only much skankier, so why not me?

My god STOP

I approve of the new clothes, but you don’t need all this makeup. Regular girls wear tons of makeup to look as good as you do without it.”

Ohhh my god not this

“At a Skanks ‘R’ Us sale?”

Girl stop

It sounds like such a simple promise to make, but somehow I always find my way to Hardin.

No it is a simple promise

I don’t want any drama,”

“I don’t want any drama” she says after repeatedly slut shaming this random girl

While I am lost in my thoughts it finally seems okay for me to admit that listening to Hardin’s steady breathing in my ear while he slept was worth never speaking to Noah again.

Oh!

I want Hardin to look at me even though I would never admit it,

You just admitted it

“I mean that in a nice way, like sometimes you do cute things,” he mutters.

Rizz god

So don’t try to lecture me—mind your own damn business!”

Can’t believe I’m agreeing with dark harry styles again

“I’m just wondering, you said you had plans anyway so I was just wondering.”

Was this edited

And I am done being one of those things.”

Next chapter you’re gonna be talking about how hot his tattoos look like through his white tshirt be so fr

I hope I don’t wear the giddy expression I feel inside.

Did the editor actually read this sentence

“What do you want to do, Tessa?” His voice is hoarse.

Are we really doing this when 1. You have a bf 2. His parents are probably nextdoor

I need to invest in some new underthings if Hardin is going to keep seeing me in them.

Am I the only one that cares about her cheating??

and I temporarily forget we’re in the house with other people.

I haven’t forgotten

I have no tattoos, no piercings, and I dress conservatively.

I get it jesus CHRIST

Tears brim over my eyes

We’re back here again. This book is making me go insane

please just give me another chance.

In front of her boyfriend??

“Noah, I said you should go,” I repeat.

I hate her so much
