The Nice List

Growing up on the wrong side of a small town with a big University was all it took to earn me the reputation of a bad boy. I’ve tried to prove that’s not me. I got a job as a bar back in the sports bar that caters to Thorngrove University’s sports teams and fans. I put on a smile and worked hard, even filling in as an extra bartender when the bar was full.

I even tried dating Alexis, the grouchiest female the frequents Ball Busters. Although, I guess taking her home at the end of the night on a semi-regular basis was hardly considered dating. Our relationship was more like a casual fling at best. It ended all together when she fell in love with the star kicker of the football team.

Then, I met Livvy. She’s the exact opposite of Alexis in almost every way. She’s sweet, friendly, innocent, and as attracted to me as I am to her. But getting involved with her will only cement my bad boy title. She’s too young, too sweet, too innocent…and she’s my ex-fling’s little sister.

I guess I won’t be making the nice list this Christmas.
