Prologue
Benjamin Kelly was the bane of my existence
His teasing was relentless, alwayssure to point out each and every one of my insecurities whenever I was around him And because I was best friends with his sister Tessa, I was around him all the time
“You have food stuck in your braces That’s so disgusting Maybe you should just stop eating since you’re so fat anyway”
“Gross What is that on your face? It looks like a second head”
“God, can you even see anything out of those glasses, nerd? How s?”
“Mia Corelli is the ugliest girl I’ve ever seen Oh sorry, Mia I didn’t see you sitting right next to me”
I hated him with a fury I was convinced that his sole purpose in life was to breakAnd he succeeded on h I never gave hiup forevery insult she could think of at hirateful for that, because I didn’t have it in ive him what he deserved My bank of comebacks were pathetic compared to Tessa’s So I’d just sit back and let her handle it
“You’re just jealous that Mia’s teeth are going to be straighter than yours, loser Why don’t you go get that giant gap fixed before soh it?”
“What’s that on your face, Ben? God, it’s hideous Oh, neveron your face That’s just how you look”
“At least Mia isn’t stupid like you, Ben If you rade, it’ll be a miracle”
“Ben Kelly has the smallest penis in the world He has to hold it with a pair of tweezers when he pees”
Her comebacks would shut hiain, it was frequently used to take a shot at me I was his sister’s nerdy, aard best friend who becarew some thick skin and became used to the torment, but et about theest jerk on the planet, and I’d hate him for the rest of my life
Benja to coain, that would be fine with me
