The Anti-Bullies
K.T. Strange - 2020
Happy endings guaranteed, and no love triangles here. Enjoy all the guys! I just wanted to be normal. But when your dad is a famous film director, everyone follows your every move. You'd think it'd be all Instagram sponsorships and Sephora makeup deals, but it's not. Instead all the students at my school hate me, I'm still living down a please-kill-me moment from my 16th birthday party that made the top entertainment blogs all over the world, and I can't wait to get out of here. One more year. One final year at Wellspring, an Academy for the Performing Arts, then I can go to travel the world, and leave my dad and the paparazzi behind. All I had to do was get the grades, do the video essay, and that scholarship to go to New Zealand for a year, was all mine. Nobody else was applying, so I was pretty much guaranteed to win. Then Asher walked in through Wellspring's front doors, and all my plans? Ruined. He's going for the same scholarship as me, and he's better, smarter, more creative... I'll never beat him. So long, trip to New Zealand. So long, privacy. So long, making my own life on my own terms, without my dad's name to get me there. The problem with Asher? Everyone loves him. Him and the rest of the new guys. Jace, Ethan, and Benji. They're all instantly popular, and nobody seems to be jealous of them despite them all being crazy talented and uh... unfairly, illegally hot. My last year at high-school was supposed to be about me pursuing my dreams and forgetting the bullies and mean girls, and my father-in-absentia. Now the only thing I've ever wanted is being stolen from right in front of me, and I can't even hate the guy who's doing it. Not after he and his friends saved my butt. Not after they put themselves between me and the biggest jerks and b*tches at my school. Not when they turn those four caring, sweet, and smug and kinda sly expressions toward me. Not when I start to fall for one of them... and then another... Ugh. F*ck them. I just want to f*ck them.
