Synopses will be the death of my publishing career.

"Cay, will you look at me?" I turned around and lifted my eyes to look into his. His arms were braced on the counter and he was looking at me sideways. The glow of the light coming from the living room and into the kitchen gave his face an otherworldly impression. I waited for him to continue. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Cay... Just so you know... I wanted to do it. Right there, a while ago. But you know why I couldn't, and why we shouldn't." There was a pain in my chest at his words. But I just gazed at him, unsure of what to say. He was right. It would be a mistake. And no matter how many times my weak heart and frail mind wanted him to kiss me, it would be selfish, not to mention immoral. In the end we would both regret it, and that would hurt the most. © rainthereader 2012 All Rights Reserved

"I said I shouldn't be around you, I should keep away and forget about you" he moved closer "but I don't want to, I don't put up with bullshit, I fire people when they piss me off without a second thought, I never give a fuck about what anyone thinks or feels but yet you have me doing just both" Nowhere else to go I turn to the only man I knew could help me, the only man i trust.. but never in a million years did I think I would end up like this, I never thought I would be going through this, taking him down and making him pay! I also thought I would never let anyone else in, but now I have. But the real problem is fully letting him in, letting him all the way in and opening up about something that happened between me and my best friend. How can i tell him something when I know it will crush what we have, could he possibly understand and forgive me from keeping it from him? Now I'm stuck between two powerful men and people are asking questions, questions I dont know how to answer because once I do, that's when the real problems start. What's the huge secret their keeping from everyone.

Ky Madison is a girl in a world where what's In and what's Out is defined for you: high school. So she decides to stand out, to do the unexpected; to rebel against what is defined as "In". And the whole "popularity" part is like an added bonus - that is, if you like having everybody in school know that you get a kick out of rebelling against society (and Mandy O'Conner). But she wonders: just how expected is the unexpected? Evan Touber has always been invisible; unnoticed; "that kid in the back of the class". He was never "cool" or "popular" like his brother. But then he meets the cool and rebellious Ky Madison - the most talked about girl at school - and she's going to help change his "invisibility" to "visibility" And it's all thanks to her rebellious reputation. (BTW: when I started this story I thought it would be fun to make a ton of references to Ouran High School Host Club and See who noticed them. But then I started getting serious about the story and stopped doing that so much. So if you guys were wondering what that was about...yeah, that's what that is :|)

When they part that night, both think they'll never see each other again. But, when Noah goes back to school after summer break she finds out that Tyson is the new student. And more surprising still, he acts like he's never seen her before and treats her coldy. Confused, Noah tries to figure out what his deal is, and it does't help that they've been paired together for a class assignment that will take the whole year to complete. ((INITIAL DRAFT))
