Synopsis and Author's Note

S Y N O P S I S

When you lead a life kept to the shadows—metaphorically and physically—it can be hard to make friends. I'm not going to say I was a loser, a complete outcast in my school. In fact, there was no one I shared a hatred with.

My life, which was more or less secretive, was completely shaken when Emmett Dean rocked himself into my world.

Completely uninvited, might I add.

And all he did was spill his spaghetti on me.

Unedited
This is unedited. Corrections are welcome, as I am typing up a manuscript for publication as well and would love the help of said corrections. Just don't be rude, or get in arguments over whether or not corrections are necessary. If I deem it rude, the comment will be deleted. Period.

Wattys
I will be entering this in various competitions that I can find, but I won't say it will win. While I am proud of how it turned out, fifty thousand is not nearly as high as some numbers in these competitions. If there is another Watty award, I'll be entering this story. Feel free to help out on Twitter;)

Any mistakes in medical, legal, and foster complications
While I tried to do my research and make sure things were as accurate as possible, I can't promise any lack of mistakes. I am not a doctor, lawyer, or foster worker. If there are issues, simply tell me and I will correct it in my manuscript.

Concerning the story in general
If it is stupid or you don't like it, congrats. I'm not going to be rude back. In fact, I will not grace rude comments with a reply in general. I wrote this when I was thirteen, going on fourteen. Therefore, it may not be as professional as John Patterson's novels, or John Green, or a variety of other Johns who love to write as well. I'm not as experienced in life, or legal issues, and researched as thoroughly as I could. (Because we all know the internet is the most reliable source there is;)) Also, this story is derived from a personal experience as a sixth grader—I hit a kid with a golf cart, then blew it out of proportion and had this story in mind.

All this bitter stuff being said...
I love all of my readers! I hope you all vote and comment, and follow! I have an Instagram account, elysemason, and hope you all follow! Yes, there is a Twitter account, but it is not very active. I'm not a very experienced Twitter user. Covers are encouraged! I love to get messages asking if they can send covers and whatnot, and I love to know that you guys loved the story enough to make them!

Also, on a different note, please check out my other books! I'm working hard on them and have never written anything quite like them; I'm trying a bit of every type of romance/teen fiction! I would love it if you gave it a look;)

Enjoy the story!💕

PSA: In this story, the main character makes a few bad decisions involving money. She is a teenager and all teenagers make horrible decisions. If you are going to post something about how "stupid" my character is, just leave the book because I am tired of going through the comments and finding all this nonsense. My characters are by babies, so leave them alone or I will mute you.
