The sandstorm wildly whipped against your clothing. Shuffling your feet against the invisible force pushing you back, you manage with one final lunge to go rolling into the cave. The holes of the storm echoed around you and you went deeper into the cave to escape the sand breezing in. It got darker before-you blinked-a golden glow shown in he distance. The closer you got, the bigger the glow, until you were standing in a lavish room that was enveloped in gold that shone off each other. Carpets decorated the floor, precious gems and jewels overflowed over the sides of chests, and in the middle of the room, on a plain pedestal, was a shining golden lamp. Warily, you walk closer. You pick up the lamp, expecting some booby trap to spring on you and kill you in your place, but you don't so much as lose a finger. There was a smug on the side of the lamp, interrupting its glitter. Using your sleeve, you rub the side of the lamp. ➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷➰🔷 Open - [X] On Hold for Catch Up - [ ] Temporarily Closed - [ ] Closed Permanently - [ ] JAWKEI MINI AWARDS 2018 WINNER!

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
