The cattiness.The fights.The shaming.I don’t generally watch reality television, but I definitely don’t watch reality dating shows. Besides the fact that it’s completely staged, it’s a horrible depiction of people—women especially. Women are pitted against each other to compete for the affection of a man they “fall in love” with after a week or two. I call B.S.It is complete crap. So when my best friend, Koko, was hired as a makeup artist on the set of the most popular reality dating show, The One, I teased her mercilessly.She told me that if I didn’t stop teasing her, she would get me back. And she did…Which is how I ended up as a contestant on The One.

I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations―and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now―until I get a look at her.Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once-over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love―like no one’s ever given her any―that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed-up guy like me?
