This is to prove to all of you that say "My books are crap" or "I wish I could be as good as you!" That I once was a bad writer. This is the first book I ever wrote and it's from the years 2013 - 2014 Btw, 6th grade me wants to dedicate this book to Joey Graceffa and Meghan Camerano. My old synopsis: ZoMbies! ZoMbies! ZoMbies! I am a huge fan of Joey Graceffa so I wrote this book for him. Then I found out his P.O. box was closed So for now this is for my friends. This is based off of the Walking Dead video game. Hope you enjoy the Book

In a world falling apart, love isn't supposed to have room to grow-but it does anyway. They meet by accident, brought together by survival rather than choice. At first, everything between them is practical: shared supplies, silent signals, keeping watch through the night. Trust is slow and cautious, built in small moments-offering the last bottle of water, standing guard so the other can sleep, choosing to stay instead of walking away. As days turn into weeks, fear becomes familiar, and so does each other. Conversations fill the quiet moments between danger-about who they were before, who they miss, and who they're afraid of becoming. Laughter feels rare but powerful, a reminder that the world once held more than ruin. Their bond deepens not through grand gestures, but through consistency. They protect each other without thinking. They argue, make mistakes, forgive. In a world where tomorrow is never guaranteed, their connection becomes something steady-something real. The apocalypse takes almost everything, but it gives them this: someone who understands the weight of survival, who chooses hope even when it hurts, and who proves that love doesn't disappear when the world ends-it adapts, survives, and quietly grows stronger.

At Preston High, Drew Daniels - known to everyone as "Double D" because of his initials - is the school's golden boy: charming, athletic, and annoyingly perfect. Meanwhile, Evelyn Ortiz, a sharp-tongued, hyper-organized overachiever with her trademark oversized glasses, has no patience for people like him. After a mix-up forces them to co-captain the school's academic charity challenge, Evelyn is convinced the universe is punishing her. Drew thinks she hates him for no reason. They can't go five minutes without arguing... but somehow they work better together than either wants to admit. As competition pressures rise, old misunderstandings come to light, surprising truths slip through their defenses, and the line between annoying rival and unexpected ally begins to blur. Evelyn learns there's more to Drew than his reputation, and Drew discovers that Evelyn's sharp edges hide a heart bigger than she'll ever admit. Now they have to decide: Are they destined to clash forever... or are they just one step away from something real?
