Society is full of lies. Living in such a world where people deceive others and deceiving becomes a trend is what youth has become. Naoko Yamada aka Nao, is a high school student from the western county of RI. Nao believes that the society around him is full of lies and came to a conclusion to become a loner for the rest of his life since he believe that is what he is destined for. His philosophy and ideals repel him to think otherwise about his youth and individuals around him - creating an ideal representation of what society is truly like. Now starting his junior year, a new student was introduced in his class; her name is Rachel Moore. Despite her attractive looks and her social personality of hers, she is currently ranked as one of the top soccer strikers in the country representing the USA National Team Under 20 at the age of 16. Rachel also had problems from her past and as a result, she decided to move with her family to Rhode Island and keeps her past a secret from her peers at the new school. One day, Nao accidentally bumped into Rachel during lunch period in the hallway and now both their lives will revolve around the center of attention like how planets revolve around the sun. Two different sets of personalities will now introduce themselves as now what we will call, "My Unexpected Romantic Comedy." Perhaps youth isn't what it seems to be. This is not a cliche story. *Note: This is my first story ever, so I am sorry if there are any mistakes, but please provide me with constructive criticism.
