He probably just has awesome parents who did an excellent job raising him.” “We have great parents, but you’re still aggressively assertive.”
“I can find some holy water somewhere. You can just throw it on him casually.”
Ten years ago, I was dumb enough to let Mia de la Cruz slip through my fingers.
Ahhhhhh I love second POV
“Impressive. Do you have a favorite trope, or is it still the tutoring one?”
One of his shoulders lifts half-heartedly. “The only attention I ever wanted, I’m getting right now.”
“I’ve had a thing for you since freshman year when I overheard you and your sister talking about who you’d fuck-marry-kill when it came to the cast of The Breakfast Club.”

He cracks it open and gives me his best-crooked smile. “Truth or dare?” The End.
