❝Not all that glitters is gold,❞ she seethed. ❝True, the dagger you're holding to my throat is glittering just a tiny bit brighter than those earrings of yours, no offence.❞ Anna Varghese leads an indisputably abnormal life. Being the only girl on the cross country team who doesn't shave and the only one who can wield a knife with deadly accuracy can sometimes clash in the most unexpected ways, especially when you sprinkle in the fact that the heir of a multi-billion corporation goes to her school, and she's set to capture and transport the sufferable nuisance to the assassin organization that hired her in the first place. Grant Blackwell lead an indisputably privileged life, until one of his classmates pulled a fast one on him and held a dagger to his throat on his way home from soccer practice. That was when he realized one of two things: 1) girls are crazy and 2) there was no difference between UFOs and CEOs; both could change or end the world as we know it. Because it takes only one fool to ruin the hard work of hundreds, millions, maybe even the whole world.

A collection of EXCERPTS. [poetry, quotes, and otherwise]. Your place to come when you feel lonely, because you're not alone when you feel this way. "We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going insane and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't." IMPORTANT: Read 'not an update; read please' beforehand. Note: parts more towards the end are fairly better than the beginning, just a fair warning. **TRIGGER WARNING** [Highest ranking: #1 in Poetry]
