The Bad Boy

"Ben pulls away to tuck my hair behind my ear. I think it’s over, but he palms my face to kiss me properly. My hands move to his chest to push him away. He’s not allowed to come here and kiss me. Instead of pushing him, my hands slide behind his neck, and I draw him closer like the little distance between us isn’t enough. He moans my name, and the little self-control I have snaps." TESSA Tessa is the picture perfect student, the kind every teacher wishes to have in their classroom. Good grades? Check. Perfect attendance? Double check. Fighter in an illegal club? Triple check. With one year left to graduate high school, and a bucket list imposed by her best friend, her goal is pretty much the same. Stay low and tick off every item on the bucket list. But trouble comes knocking in the form of blue eyes, sharp mouth, and a brooding personality. BEN Ben is Broadway Heights most loved bad boy. Like Tessa, he wants to finish high school without any drama. But that all changes when he loses a match to Tessa. What happens when the school’s bad boy, Benjamin, notices the shy, quiet girl in an illegal fighting ring?
