They came in hordes. Thousands of them. Built to withstand any amount of damage the military threw at them. All those years, improving our technology - making new weapons, new terrifying weapons - because they had no affect on them. In fact, it just seemed to make their resolve stronger. They called themselves The Darkness. They appeared on every screen in the world - TV's, computer screens, iPod's and iPad's - everything. They warned us the end for the humans is here. And now there's only us, us and them and someone hiding, someone lurking and ready to feed us to the wolves. We have to survive. We have to keep going.

"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

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 :|)

Have you ever felt like you would drown in all of the responsibilities life throws at you?

Her mother is an alcoholic and her father is gone, leaving Dakota with the responsibility of taking care of her four year old sister. Dakota works two jobs and still has to struggle by in school. Mix that with raising a kid and she will surely drown. There are always life preservers, though, and Liam Chase might just be hers. Hopefully, she can learn to stay afloat before it is too late.
