Zac Carter had spent one week out of every year at Emily Dawson's house since he was fifteen. It was the week his parents had their 'alone' time as they liked to call it. He was thinking of bailing on it this year, telling them he was old enough to be on his own for a week. Then he remembered sad, strange Emily who he's had a crush on for the longest time. That made him want to stay there just so he could try and figure her out. Follow the story of Emily and Zach as they discover that sometimes things arent quite what they seem.

"Stop stealing my food." I glared at him but I knew he could see I was joking. A smile appeared on his face as I knew he had an idea. That's Never Good. "Here have it back." Carter opened his mouth and spit out chewed apple all over the floor. I didn't know weither to be angry or just plain disgusted. Carter burst out laughing and I couldn't help the edges of my mouth to twitch. Don't laugh, just keep a straight face Rose. I kept my face expressionless as I squatted down to the chewed apple remains on the floor and scooped it up in my hand. Carter stopped laughing once he saw what I was about to do. I threw the chewed apple at him, landing right on his face. Bulls-eye. There was about a two second silence before I bursted out laughing, clutching my sides at the comical sight in front of me. A look of shock and rage was present on Carters face and I could almost see a purple vain in his forehead throb. Of course this made me laugh twice as hard. I was struggling to breathe as Carter slowly wiped the apple of his face and glared me down. "You do know you picked up something that was in my mouth, right?" Carter remarked. How did I not think of that? Who knows what has been in Carters mouth! Or should I say, Who has been in Carter's mouth. I cringed and wiped my hands on Carter. He could have his disgusting germs back. "You do know you are just adding more of my germs if you rub it off on me." He said slowly as if I was a child. "Well isn't someone smart today? Wait you said we were late for school! We are definitely late now!" "Calm your pantyhose, I lied to get you out of bed." Carter smiled. "Wow, that must be a change from you lieing to get women Into bed." I said before walking out the front door. I got into my car but not before earning a middle finger from Carter. Isn't he charming?

One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.
