Crushing on the Drumline Badboy
Ramona O'Cahane, author
Cy Simmons is my next door neighbor and the biggest crank in the school. Rumor has it, he tried to kill someone at his last school and got away with it, which is how he managed to stay in drumline and not end up in juvie.
Despite his devastating good looks, his less than winning personality has everyone at arm's length. But I have a hard time believing a person who creates the beautiful haunting music that serenades my sewing sessions can be that bad. And there's something about the way he watches me in our tutoring sessions that hits me right in the feels.
I may be a preppy piccolo player who should know to stay away from the drumline badboy, but then again, what graduating senior ever just did what they were supposed to?
