My dad is a tech mogul. My mom is an heiress.Together, they’re the Sterlings, a name you’ve probably seen in headlines.
And me? I was just a straight-A student, plain and simple.
Everyone says a good girl’s biggest weakness is a bad boy.
So when Liam Ryder crooked a finger in my direction, I fell right in.
I skipped class with him, got into fights with him, raced cars with him. I even deleted my applications to the Ivy Leagues and applied to the same community college he was going to.
On graduation day, he stood beaming in front of the whole class, declaring victory.
“See? Told you six months ago. Good girls are the easiest challenge there is.”
I looked down at the acceptance letter from NYU in my hands, and I smiled, too.
My mom always said that with my family and my grades, my future was destined to be blindingly bright.
So I figured, if I was going to cause a little trouble, I’d better get it out of my system early.

I got back from the state academic decathlon to the sound of chatter spilling out of my homeroom.
“Ugh, the mouse is back from another competition. I bet the principal gives her another damn award at the Monday assembly.”
“I’m so sick of it. It’s always her, showing off. Can’t stand the sight of her.”
“Seriously. That whole holier-than-thou act is disgusting. What can she even do besides ace every test?”
“She can be born. Got the right parents, didn’t she? Hahaha…”
My name is Claire Sterling. To my face, my classmates called me Claire. Behind my back, they called me “the mouse.”
I leaned against the cool cinderblock wall in the hallway, waiting for the noise to die down. Just as I thought it was safe, my hand on the doorknob, I heard my name again.
“Hey, who do you guys think a girl like Claire Sterling, a total bore, would even be into?”
“What, you interested?” someone jeered.
The guy laughed, a sly, mean edge to his voice.
“Come on, wouldn’t you love to see the ice queen finally melt? I refuse to believe that if Claire Sterling actually got a boyfriend, she’d still be the perfect, untouchable saint the teachers are always gushing about.”
“You’re not wrong. A good girl like her has probably never even held a guy’s hand. She wouldn’t go for someone sweet. It’d have to be someone with experience, someone who comes on strong. You know… like Liam Ryder?”
“Oh my god. The delinquent and the valedictorian. That’s straight out of a novel.”
The name Liam Ryder traced a line over my heart, leaving a tingling numbness in its wake.
A long silence followed. Just when I thought the topic was over, Liam’s low voice drifted through the crack in the door.
“Get lost. Girls like that are boring. I’d rather date a block of wood.”
The room erupted in jeers.
“Come on, Liam! Do it for all of us! You’ve gotta be the one!”
“Yeah, man, if you can get Claire Sterling to fall for you, we’ll all chip in and get you a gift on graduation day. Whatever you want.”
Liam laughed, a lazy, confident sound.
“Alright. But a simple bet is no fun. Let’s make it interesting. If I can get her to go to community college with me, you guys can buy me that new carbon fiber helmet I’ve been eyeing.”
Someone gasped.
“No way. That’s impossible. Claire’s a shoo-in for the Ivy League. No matter how much she likes you, she’d never throw away her future for a guy.”
Liam just chuckled again, sure of himself.
“You guys just get the gift ready. And watch.”
Everyone thought it was an impossible bet.
Until I started skipping class, street racing, and even getting into fights right alongside Liam.
Whatever Liam asked, I never said no.
I earned a new nickname. They started calling me “the puppy.”
A loyal little lap dog, trailing at Liam Ryder’s heels.
