Prologue

Hello! This is my first ever book! Please be easy as I am writing this on my phone and trying to make edits for grammer. This is a 2 part book, it might end up being a 3 part I haven't decided yet. This is a slowburn, erotic, and romance story. It's all my orignal work. I hope you all enjoy and I would read this story first before starting the part 2. Thank you everyone who has added my book to their library. Happy reading! AND PLEASE PLEASE help and leave me comments and reviews! Thank you so much!














“MOMMY, why is that girl naked running in her diaper playing in the mud? She is so gross!




Jared don’t say those things about baby Jess, you know she’s only 3 years old and having fun, maybe you should go play with her it might be fun!



No mommy, I don’t want anything to do with her!














Jared you go play now while her mommy and I have get lunch together. Oh FINE MOMMY!














Fast forward 11 years High School…














Jess POV: Ugh… I’m a real freshman! A FRESHMAN in high school. My best friend Nina and I were so excited to be in high school and out of middle school. Here I am Jess Swan, starting my first day of my high school career. I got out of bed brushed my teeth and tamed my long platinum frizzy hair, put on light makeup and pulled my favorite band tee over my head with a pair of flair jeans, and headed out the door waving to mom and daddy as I left.














As I met Nina outside of the building we made our way to our lockers where I saw him… yea there he is the asshole Jared Collins!!! He is a senior, as we have gotten older I see him less and less THANK GOD! See my parents and Jared’s parents are best friends! They all met in college while they were in law school, and now our parents have the top two law firms in the State. All you ever see is the commercials on tv. Sure enough Jared is going to follow in his fathers footsteps, as I am in my tomboy ways have the same goals of following in my fathers footsteps as well. Hell our parents are so close that the law firms are the high skyscrapers right next to each other in downtown Orlando, Florida. We used to have to attend galas, and birthday parties but, over the years Jared and I saw less and less of each other. He hates me and I hate him! He’s a jerk. He always made/makes fun of me. Sure I’m in a awkward state.














I just turned 15 over the summer. I have braces, frizzy blonde hair, no boobs, acne, and wear glasses. That doesn’t mean the senior star quarterback with perfect white teeth and the greenest eyes you’ve ever seen has to be an asshole! I mean he’s 3 years older than me, and we never got along. He always thought of me as a pest, annoying, and not the most attractive person ever. He always picked on me with his friends that I like to roll in the mud like a pig, or that I whine to much. I guess as we got older we both begged our parents to not be around each other. This is just great now we have one year that we have to be in the same building! Hopefully be being a freshman and him a senior, we won’t run into each other that much…














As I turn to my bestie Nina, I had to wipe the drool off her mouth as Jared walked through the hall with his football jacket on and all his jock friends picking at the nerds, drama group, and band geeks. He had his way to a beautiful I’m guessing “girlfriend” on his arm laughing and giggling at every word he said. He walked right past me and didn’t even stop. I was happy he didn’t notice me but, I also tried to hide behind my locker door.














Maybe one day I could find a nice boy that will treat me right and with respect. I don’t care about “popularity” but, I wouldn’t mind sharing my life with a boy who likes some of the same things I do? Seeing Jared and his girlfriend walking past it made me think that one day I could have something like that? Maybe they are in love? Maybe they will get married? All I know is good luck to ever marry’s that ass.














“Omg Jess he’s so hot!!! How in the hell do you two hate each other so much!”














“Nina, it’s not like that, I never want to be with or like someone so shallow and empty as him!”














“I mean you two have known each other since birth.”














“Yea, that doesn’t mean we have to be friends?, he’s such an ass. Remember when his friends used to push me in the mud, or make jokes about me?”














“Jess we were kids! Look at us now, we are high school girls now! Maybe he’s changed and will be nice this year?”














Shaking my head… this is going to be one fun year…














By my senior year of high school it was a doozie. I managed to duel enroll in college my junior year, making it that I would graduate with my AA degree and high school diploma at the same time. I made A honor roll, and managed to kick butt in education. As for my social life… yea I just have Nina. Now I’m off to follow my parents footsteps to Ohio State university. Since I already have my AA degree, I can finish my bachelors in 2 years, then I plan on spending the other two for pre-law before I finish the last two years on my law degree. Everything is happening so fast.














It’s senior prom. The week before we graduate and move in to the next part of our lives. I managed to talk myself out of going to prom, nina had a date I didn’t. I wasn’t going alone or as a 3rd wheel. What was the point of the stupid dance anyway? Get all gussied up to end up pregnant and hungover the next day? No thanks!














The last 4 years I got my braces off, got contacts, but my acne is balancing out slowly. My boobs are somewhat there. I dunno I just want to get out of here. After the humiliating freshman year of being around Jared Collins and his douche bag friends, I was so happy when he left.














I still haven’t met one boy to actually talk to me. I mean other than lab partners or group projects, it’s pretty much just me, myself, and I. Sad I’m 18 years old, never been kissed, never held hands with a boy. No one looks at me I’m like invisible to everyone. I don’t mind I just focus on what I want for myself. My daddy has raised me to be me, myself, be strong independent. The only real encounter I had to have with Jared Collins was when my parents dragged me to his graduation party at the end of freshman year. He and his friends got drunk at the pool and made crude jokes about me when our parents weren’t around. I’ve only seen him once or twice. Like when he’s home on summer or winter breaks. I see him drive off or not at all. It’s been pretty peaceful once he left. I just hope it stays that way…
