Hello.
It has been 7 months since I posted the update below and I logged back on today and read all your comments. A lot of you people have given my story so much love and I have no idea what to say. But, you guys gave me courage to come online again and submit to the world of writing. It has been 7 years since I started writing IASWAB and I am a much better writer today than I was when I began this story. I feel inspired, you guys! And that is so big. And guess what? You guys did this.
I want to write again. I want to feel good as my fingers glide over the keyboard and create magic. And if you guys want to appreciate a girl's try at rekindling her love for writing, please go to my profile to check out my story. I would be honoured to have you guys read my story, every single one of you!
This time though, my writing will be more raw and better phrased. The genre will still be romance but the difference between a 14 year old writer and a 21 year old writer with a lot more experience will be obvious. The story Im thinking of publishing will be more honest and more from my heart than anything else ever has been. I hope that even if you don't want to read my story, you can at least give it a chance. It is called 'Heartstrings' and I have just uploaded the intro and the first part. Please check it out, it will only take 5 minutes. :)
I love you guys. Thank you for inspiring me.

Before you start reading this, I'd like for you to keep in mind that I was in 8th grade when I wrote and published this story (I'm currently in my 3rd year of college) and there are A LOT of mistakes here that I'm too lazy to correct. So, I want you to know: Yes, I'm aware that:
1. It's obvious that a teenage girl wrote this.
2. There are a lot of grammatical mistakes (I think? I don't remember tbh...I'm sorry)
3. Yes, the story is a little too cheesy
BUT like any normal person would be, Im proud of IASWAB as it's the first story I've ever written (and finished) on Wattpad and it has gotten a lot of love from you people (mostly). In a way, it's my baby because no matter how many mistakes Ive made in this story, it took a lot of hard work and patience and writing this story got me through a lot go tough times.
So, thank you. Thank you for reading my story and appreciating it. Although I cant reply to all of the comments, you guys make me so happy. If you don't like this story or don't want to continue reading it, that's okay, I still want to thank you.

Eric and Sam are from two different worlds and didn't even know about each others' existence before the bet. Cliche, right? But there's just something about them that won't let them stay away from each other. They will hate each other, befriend each other and slowly fall in love with each other.
How typical. But there is absolutely nothing typical about their lovestory, it's tragic but it's lovely.
What is the bet? Eric has made a bet that he'll make Sam fall in love with him but what if he starts to fall in love with Sam? And on top of that, Sam has secrets of her own!
There are songs, best friends, broken hearts, funny stories, sad endings, quite a few moments to remember and most importantly, there's love. "Because love's the best thing we do." - Ted Mosby.
"The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it's a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I've chosen to follow."
― Nicholas Sparks, The NotebookIt's a typical but not so typical love story by an average teenage girl who dreams of becoming a great author someday and loves quotes.
I hope you like it, I know I did when this idea came to me.
