Hailey Pierce has never understood the appeal of One Direction. On the other hand, her best friend Kiara is obsessed with them, especially one boy in particular. But what happens when Kiara makes her go to the final One Direction concert of their tour? What happens when Hailey happens to catch the eyes of two of the famous band members? Well one thing is for sure, The Girl With The Red Lipstick is in for a lot of trouble.

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.

A short story about a girl understanding the true value of friendship. Sequel now available: "Goodbye" on my page.
