The Boy Next Door Is Not What He Seems

"A single lie discovered is enough to create doubt in every expressed truth."
*•~•*•~•*

"River!" Charlie yelled from the porch of his house.

Instead of stopping to hear him out like I usually would, I continue to storm away towards my house. 

I needed to get away from him.

Charlie catching up and following closely behind me, he yells at me to stop and listen to him for a second, but I was blinded by rage.

"No." I spat, abruptly stopping at my front steps, causing him to bump into me making him stagger in his place, "I refuse to be around people who constantly lie to my face. I can't even look at you right now." I sneered.

"River, please, I didn't want to tell you like this." He said, running a hand through his hair, an unconscious habit he had. It was the first time in my life I had seen Charlie Matthews look so desperate.

I scoffed at his words, "Were you ever planning on telling me at all?" I asked only to be greeted with silence.

I scoffed a second time.

I should've known.

*•*•*•*

When River Grey and Charlie Matthews get caught up in a lie created out of desperation and pity, both of their lives turn upside down. One sleepover kindles a new-found friendship between the the school's good girl and the boy next door.

With the fiery attitude of the short Filipina girl and the cool demeanor of their high school's heart throb, questions remain on the tip of River's tongue as the two become something that's more than friends, but not quite boyfriend and girlfriend?

Will River be able to figure out Charlie Matthews? Or will she find out something that she was never looking for to begin with?

Hahaha.. Long time no write.

It's been an awful long while since I've written, posted or done anything with Wattpad. Probably like what.. 4 or 5 years? I've decided to come back and rewrite this book and possibly write more new things in the future. I'm now in college with a little bit more time on my hands and a little bit more passion to write again. So hopefully, I'll be able to finish what I started with this book.

If you are still here from my early days of Wattpad: 

Welcome back! Thank you for endlessly supporting me despite my long hiatus and I apologize for leaving without notice.

If you are new to this community:

Welcome! Hopefully I can satisfy your book needs with the characters I create, and I apologize in advance for all the cringe you might have found from my younger self on this account.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story and I'll speak to you guys soon :)

Love, Author <3
