When I met him on a rainy afternoon the air smelt like gardenias. My black oxford pumps were soaked from accidentally stepping on a puddle, and the tiny yellow umbrella I held up barely saved me from the chilly rain. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, the sky was pink and blue. I was starving and almost craving to smell the stuffy scent of my closed up home's small living room. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, his son held my feet out of the blue and called me 'mum'. He rushed out of the restaurant only seconds later, his cheeks a pale flushed hue. When I met him one day on a rainy afternoon, he looked up into my eyes and apologized. And inside my head, I thought to myself... what a lovely way to meet a lovely man on such a lovely rainy afternoon. ••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-•••••• 1st Draft - 15/03/18 2nd Draft - 08/08/20 Published : 28/08/21 | Paperback & Kindle Cover : Sierra Po Trailer : boba

Azalia Chase and her twin Alexander move from the town they've lived in all their life to attend Blake Preparatory Boarding School. Of course she's not happy about moving, and she's also not happy about moving to a school where this one arrogant guy won't stop bothering her. And that guy happened to be the one and only Noah Matthews. When he takes a sudden interest in her, Azalia knows that she's in for quite of a ride. Noah Matthews is the bad boy at Blake Prep and is also their star quarterback. What a twist right? He just can't take the title of one or the other and manages to be both. And getting Azalia through a lot of her "firsts" proves to be quite difficult, which quite frankly makes him want to strangle her. The thing is, at the same time, she's something he just can't get enough of. She was hoping to find a way to survive moving to a new place, get through the year being somewhat unnoticed, and get her rightful spot as valedictorian. But through pranks, trying new things, unexpected problems, and even smurfs, her whole world is turned upside-down. But there is a first time for everything. She just has to remember that.

"Did you know Drama lowers I.Q? Intelligent people keep smaller social circles." I tell him, throwing another grape in the air and catching it in my mouth. "If that's true, then you and I should be geniuses." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carrie Edwards is an enigma. Mysterious, beautiful, good taste in fashion and undeniably shy. She's the ultimate introvert, but she cannot be classified as a good girl. Then again, she's not exactly a rebel. Her favorite color is purple and in 8th grade, she threw up on the blind kid in the middle of a presentation on Dolphins. That's about all anybody knows about her. Hidden beneath a blanket of PTSD and social anxiety is the quirky, insensible, headstrong and sarcastic girl who lives life with an internal monologue of comebacks she doesn't actually say. Alec Kendrick, smoldering hot, very typical stereotyped bad boy. No, he's not rich with absent parents, nor is he poor and struggling to provide for his family. He has two brothers and a baby sister, who he gets a smite bit overprotective over. Alec likes his motorbikes, leather jackets and the occasional back talk to the teachers, plus picking a couple of fights and some drinking. Admittedly, so he's not a total angel either. These two very different people would probably have not even crossed paths if it wasn't for a mixed up folder, a weekend lost in the woods, a stolen copy of an embarrassing tape, crazy siblings, dancing best friends and of course, some sparks. Who knows what happens next?! ~-~ Mancheston Series, Book Two. CAN BE READ SEPARATELY Not edited, working on it. Some spelling and grammar errors. P.S I DO NOT own the cover picture. I just think it's pretty so props to whoever took it :) Cover Made by @SprinkleJellyDonuts
