Ashley Thomas was the perfect representation of the ideal antagonistic 'it' girl in romance novels whose sole purpose was to make the perky, main character look good. The cheerleader could easily describe herself in three words - blonde, bold, bitch - the three B's if you'd so call them. There was a downside of being the staple girl however and that was keeping up with the facade that she was, in fact, perfect. The truth being being that she was far from that. Somehow it took a kind hearted English boy to make her see that imperfections were quite okay. ~ A story in which the mean girl finally gets her happy ending.

Elijah Hastings was that brooding mystery that most persons adored but never thought to solve. He was loved and feared all at the same time. He seemed to have the perfect life but then again, no one truly knew him so I'd guess that was an assumption. And I'd guess the next big assumption was to think that he wasn't suicidal because it turns out he was. And my biggest assumption yet, you make ask? To think he was easy to befriend. ~~ Warning: This story deals with suicide, abuse, drug usage and rape. It contains some amount of indecent language as well.

He was the boy that no one noticed. He was quiet, bland to the naked eye, a total wallflower who sat on the sidelines and lacked in eye contact with those around him though he had the type of eyes that made you feel like you could drown. He tried his best to blend into the background, but what he didn't know was that he was the only one that caught my eye. He was the most intriguing person I had ever laid eyes on even though he couldn't see me. He couldn't see anything.
