"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romantics

(Sequel to 'Pranking the bad boy') "Ryder, let's go!" I called over to him. "Will you just wait?" he asked, looking up and smiling like a little boy. "For what?" All of a sudden there was a clap of thunder and rain started pouring down on us. I gasped but felt somehow comfortable. The rain was warm and engulfed us in a warm blanket. Ryder turned around to face me. I smiled at him and he smiled back in return. "You're unbelievable," I chuckled. Instead of answering, he walked over to me and tucked a wet piece of hair behind my ear before swooping down to kiss me. I clutched his soaked shirt in my hands and enjoyed this sweet moment. __________________ Ryder and Kennedy are in their senior year of high school. The school year has almost come to an end and as a surprise, the seniors are taking a three week school trip. France - Italy - Sweden Those are the choices they have. Well... not really choices. Their names are written on a piece of paper and chosen from randomly. Will they all go to the same place? What's going to happen if they don't? And even more importantly: what's going to happen if they do all go to the same place? __________________ Thank you to Ayiah_Jaddo for the amazing cover!!
