Misbehaved

by Charleigh Rose

Every girl wants to be good until a bad boy whisks her off her feet and corrupts her.

I don’t even know her, but I find her fascinating. It’s like watching a car crash. She is spectacular in a sad, beautiful way.

Smart girls, I learned with time and experience, sometimes do very stupid things for men.

but the way he looks at me—like I’m every rule he’s ever wanted to break—gives me a high like no other.

“Well, thanks, but I think I’ll go back to dating fictional characters. Everyone knows boys in books are better.”

I kiss her like I’m drowning and she’s the air I breathe, and she kisses me like she’s afraid I’ll disappear at any moment.

This girl is lethal. Somehow, I know she’ll be the end of me, but I can’t bring myself to care. Because this right here? Would be worth a thousand deaths.

I fell in love with a girl who felt like a woman and made me feel like a man instead of a ghost.
