"Don't even think about it, New Girl. You touch me, I tell the dean, who just so happens to be Phoenix's dad. We control the teachers because, guess what? My dad pays for everything."
"She won a silly contest. The same contest we put on every year so that the poor underprivileged people of the world are able to join the high society"
"His face lit up with a smile, and honestly, it was like staring at an angel. Nixon was gorgeous. He was an ass, but gorgeous."
"He wore his perfection differently than most guys. The beauty of Nixon was in his imperfection. His crooked smile. The lip ring drew attention to his lips, making them look larger. And then his nose, it looked like it had been broken once, but it was in that tiny crook at the bridge that you saw something fierce in him. And his eyes. His ice blue eyes would warm within an instant when he was amused. His hair would fall across his brow giving him a rough yet vulnerable look."
"I'd like to see someone mug me with him around."
"Breathe. I just needed to breathe."
"A million different sensations ran through my body in that moment. It was nearly impossible to breathe."
"Was it possible for someone's head to heat up so much, it fell off their body?"
"Shivers ran up and down my arms at his absence.
Nixon released me and immediately, I felt so cold I shivered."
"Holy superman."
"Holy crap."
"Holy hell."
"Holy football team."
"Girls who looked more like my Barbie than a real person openly stared at me"
"If it was anything like the dress she was wearing now, then I was going to be put in prison for prostituting myself."
"Finally, she chose a purple dress with a plunging front and back. Only it was covered with some sheer material so technically it could not be defined as slutty.
I did say technically."
"She was ridiculously beautiful, making my mind immediately transport to every single book I'd read in the past year that warned me against girls who looked like her."
"I truly loved Nixon, but Chase...well, Chase had been my best friend for the past few weeks when Nixon was off fighting Phoenix and the evil of his family."
"Fine, it's just, Nixon reminds me of that Taylor Swift song, Trouble? You guys heard it?" I laughed as they all shook their heads. "Yeah, well, if I didn't know any better I'd think Nixon dated her, dumped her and she wrote a song about it."
CHORUS
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
And I, I, I like it
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, and get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would
Follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
" Everything you've ever known..........is about to change."
When I'd entered the lottery to go to this school, all I could think about was how I would be practically set for life. Now it seemed like I'd stepped into an action movie where the star had more power than the president of the United States.
"Know that you make your own choices. You create your own destiny. And baby, I have the keys so either play by my rules, or don't. The choice is yours."
"At least I can say I'd freaking bleed for you, if that's what it takes."
"Takes?"
"To keep you safe."
"So you'd die for me?"
"Don't you get it? I'd give my life for yours."
"I need you like I need my heart to pump blood through my body, like I need air to breathe, like we need gravity. Hell, Trace you are my gravity."
