*On Hiatus* "So? Do you like me?" He didn't look at me. His eyes fixed on his mobile screen which was blank and had nothing on it. "What?" I was extremely shocked by his words. Me? I like him? I mean I do but as friends. "What?" He looked at me. His eyes were calm, his voice was soft and his peaceful smile was also there. As if it was stuck there to hide what was inside. "I do but as friends. Which way are you asking?" "The other way." "What way?" Actually I knew but I wanted to be clear. I didn't want to misunderstand anything. "I heard you talking with Sneha near the library." He said. I turned my eyes from him in embarrassment. He heard it all. Everything. But then again it was a lie. What should I do? Should I tell the truth? "I don't like you." Yes. That's right I don't like him romantically. I just didn't know what to say at that time and his name came out of my mind. That's it. "So then why not make it real?" He asked. His eyes finally came out of his phone and landed on mine. His face was straight with no emotions. What should I do? *** A relationship that started that way. How would it end or rather how would it start? #fakedating

But when the mysterious, quiet emo boy Jude Hayden makes an appearance at the school, Masie can't help but notice him and wonder what made him so dark and introverted.

And will Masie and Jude find true happiness in each other - even when Maisie's worst nightmare comes true and pushes her friendly, sunny personality to its limits?

Gillian Anderson and Courtney Carmichael are enemies...more or less. While the pair seem to constantly be at each other's necks nowadays, it wasn't always this way... In fact, the two used to be best friends. They were practically inseparable until that one fateful night in eighth grade. Only, what really happened that night? ••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Court-" I attempt to reach out to her only for her to push my hand away from her and turn to face me. "You should go." She tells me, avoiding my eyes. "Courtney, please." I beg. "Please don't shut me out again. I promise that I won't ever try to kiss you again." The honey-haired girl scoffs. "That's the thing..." she trails off. "The longer that I'm around you, the more that I want you to kiss me." The sapphire-eyed girl admits.
