Chapter 242

Gertie Anderson cleared her throat, ready to spill the tea. Back in the day, she was a total firecracker—nothing scared her. Loud, outgoing, totally carefree. Honestly, she was like a tomboy. One thing about her? She couldn't stand injustice. Any drama at school that didn’t sit right with her, she was the first to step in. Yeah, she could be kind of intense. The guys admired her looks, sure, but no one dared to make a move. Mostly because Gertie didn’t mess with boys—she preferred kicking it with the girls. College was a bit better, but before that? If any guy tried messing with her crew, she'd send them running for their lives, no joke. Then college hit—dating became a free-for-all. Her besties started coupling up. Gertie just watched them all pair off one by one. Only she was left. Not like she planned to find a boyfriend, though. She got loads of love letters from boys all across the country—thanks to her beauty, of course. Cheesy grandstands, flashy confessions... you name it. Luck
