His Mother Paid Me to Love Him

I took on the school’s notorious playboy, Ashton Sterling. Everyone in high school thought I was head over heels in love with him.

When he skipped classes and got into street fights, I was the one who took perfect notes and covered for his absences.

When he flirted with other girls, I acted as his alibi.

For three long years, I was his ultimate doormat. I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into tutoring that lazy rich kid, eventually getting him accepted into Yale. But right before college started, he dumped me.
