Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing]

Arranged Marriage to my Mate

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

This book was the first one I ever wrote and has MANY flaws right now. I'm doing major editing of this story that will produce a clear, polished, and grammatically correct version which will be a hundred times better than this. If you wish to continue reading, by all means go ahead. However, I will hopefully have the updated version of this book up soon but I cannot guarantee it to be up right away (as my laptop isn't working right now and I only have a month left till college starts up again). So please enjoy the book now or if departing, I will hopefully see you readers again when the edited version is up! My apologies for not editing sooner, but I hope the new version will make up for that! Thank you all so much for reading this!

P.S. THE POV SITUATION: I wrote POV to point out that the narrator (that's me) is explaining Taylor's point of view of the story. I didn't mean the literal point of view through Taylor's eyes. So, I've made changes to my revised edition in which I fixed this issue and that will be put up soon as I have a couple more chapters to revise! Hopefully this answers your POV questions!

Xoxo

Taylor on the right----->

Chapter 1(Taylor's POV)

A warm breeze blew as Taylor Daniels shuffled out of school. She was extremely exhausted. The week had been tough. Lately, all her life involved was school, homework, and the final touches on her college applications. Taylor had spent the last few days cooped up in her room working on essays for various colleges. She had applied to a little over 12 schools, and the extensive work behind them was really draining her energy. Taylor sighed as she walked over to her beat up 1997 Dodge. She fumbled with the keys before finding the right one.

"Dammit" she muttered when the keys slipped from her fingers. As she bent down to pick them up, she saw two dainty hot pink stilettos next to her. Great, my day just couldn't get any better, she thought as she bent back up from retrieving her keys.

"Hi Taylor," the girl smirked beside her. Kristy Swanson, most popular girl in Riverton High, otherwise known as the evilest bitch alive.

"Um, hi Kristy," muttered Taylor as she tried avoiding any eye contact with the she-beast. Taylor felt Kristy scan her outfit as she let out a little smirk. She had been wearing her favorite NYC hoodie with matching sweats and some Adidas sandals with socks. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and her makeup consisted of just a little eyeliner. A blush started creeping up on pale cheeks. Totally mortified, Taylor mumbled a quick "I gotta go" and got in her car. She watched in her rearview mirror as Kristy smirked once again, and turned on her heel, strutting off in the direction of the other football players and cheerleaders. Taylor exhaled a deep breath. Phew, she didn't do anything this time; count yourself lucky, she thought. Kristy always picked on the meek, and Taylor was the shyest girl in the school. No wonder she was such an easy target. She wasn't a loner, she did have friends, but they weren't really close. No matter how hard her attempts were at being social or fun, it never seemed to work. Watching TV or reading a book was much more fun to her than hanging out at the mall or going to the movies; the total opposite of an average teen. After moving to the small town of Riverton, New Jersey, she really didn't have the heart to make new best friends. She missed her old friends back in Pennsylvania. Her face became sad as she remembered the sleep overs and barbeques she had, her friends and her practically inseparable. Get over it Taylor that was 4 years ago. Why can't you fricken let it go!" Her knuckles turned white as her grip on the wheel tighetened. Manuvering through traffic, she at last came to her house.

"Finally peace at last," She parked the car and headed toward her home. The smell of freshly baked cookies wafted into her nose as she stepped in, making her stomach grumble. She rolled her eyes. Oh right, I skipped lunch today to go study in the library, no wonder my stomach is crying for food.

"Mom I'm home!" Taylor sang as she bolted into the kitchen, diving straight for the cookies.

"Sweetie, they're hot, let them cool first" her mother stated with a chuckle. Setting her oven mitt aside, she walked over and kissed her daughter on the head.

"You'll never change" Mrs. Daniels grinned.

"I don't like change" Taylor grumbled, her thoughts flashing back to her old friends, but shook her head, erasing the thoughts temporarily. Getting up, she went over to her room. Purple walls surrounded the neatly made bed. In the corner, her desk was covered with papers and books. On the desk were sticky notes scribbled with due dates and homework assignments. Her dog, Ernie sat in his bed chewing on a bone.

"Ugh I'm so tired!" Taylor flopped on her bed, her face buried in a pillow. Dragging herself to the bathroom, she stripped and took a shower. Taylor toweled herself dry and changed into new clothes. Picking her bag off the ground, she grabbed her books and started her homework.
