Ally Hastings is her name and I’ve never been more obsessed with a girl in my life. She’s sweet and innocent and nothing like me. She tells me she’s never had a guy’s hands on her before. Barely even been kissed. Hearing those words out of her pretty little lips only makes me more obsessed. I want to corrupt her. Do things to her I shouldn’t.

If they say I do, things between me and Ally could turn weird real fast.
