One of a Kind

Paxton Humphries is Woodbridge High's resident emo-art freak. He's heard every barb and insult in the book and has learned to roll with the punches. Literally. His best friends know who he really is and that's enough for him. Sure, it'd be great if braggadocious jocks like Will Jones didn't make fun of him or always get the girl. Especially incredibly smart and cute girls, like Desiree Williams. A girl he was just about to ask out at the beginning of the year, before Will beat him to it. Desiree tells everyone Will is nice. And he was, er, is. He can be nice. She should be happy, dating one of the most popular guys in school. So why has she found herself feeling much more comfortable talking and laughing with Paxton during their class, than when she's actually with her boyfriend? And why can't she stop staring at his lips or that lip ring? One of a Kind is a short story, based in the Rumor Has It series. It takes place before Book 1, but offers no spoilers and is a complete, stand-alone story. One of a Kind is exclusive to the author's newsletter subscribers.
