What do you do with a Bad Apple? Find out below 👇🏻👇🏻

Senior year is supposed to be the time of your life.

Keyword: Supposed. 

But I’ve just been shipped off to a new school. Sentenced to

hard time deep in the heart of Hicktown, USA. 

I left everything behind—my friends, my girl, my band, my

ambitions. 

Besides graduating, I thought there was nothing left to

strive for. 

Then, I meet her…

Pretty. Preppy. Popular. Basic. 

Most importantly, daughter of the enemy.

And now I have a new vision…

Rip away her crown. 

Knock her off her pedestal. 

Wear her down until she’s stripped bare. 

She has no idea what’s coming for her. 

They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and the

Creed family tree is full of bad apples. 

But me?

I’m the most rotten of them all. 

“I fucking hate you, you know that?” His words come out a

taut, restrained, and he stares straight into my eyes, delivering the blow. I

guess I’m becoming immune to his antics, because I just nod my head, biting

back the smile that desperately wishes to break free.

Maybe you do. But not nearly as much as you wish…

“And you’re still going to give me the most precious thing

you’ve got right now, even knowing I’ve got no love for you? Knowing I don’t

even like you, not even a little bit?”

I roll my eyes. If he’s trying to scare me away, to make me

second guess myself, it’s not going to work. And if that’s the

case, I think that speaks more to his own shitshow of feelings and not being

able to sort through them, than anything I’ve done.

“Steph says sex angry sex is the best. I’m betting hate sex

might be even better…” I shoot him a cocky smirk.

“How will you know? You have nothing to compare it to…”

“Not now, maybe. But I will one day.”

GEMINI JENSEN’s love for reading began at a young age, and

her love for writing was born not long after she learned how to put pen to

paper. When she was in 2nd or 3rd grade, she won a poetry contest for all the

elementary students in her county. 

She has a passion for all things romance-related,

particularly angsty, forbidden, and slow-burn romances. Taboo stories are

another guilty pleasure. 

An avid reader, she’s been enjoying the romance genre much

longer than she should be able to admit, stealing her mom’s books and returning

them before anyone noticed they were missing. 

Born and raised in Western North Carolina, she still resides

there with her family—her husband and their two kids…along with three dogs,

and a rabbit named Ted Bunny. She enjoys anything related to creativity,

Disney, and cooking.
