A/N: This is an unedited, significantly different version of the soon to be published novel by losangelesque aka L. Akhter. This draft was written when I was 15-18 years old and I highly encourage new readers to read the published version instead. Former high school football star Frank Novak meets profound and depressed loner Lolita Abri - and falls headfirst into love. Throughout the course of one school year, they unravel each other and their sadness, setting apart their differences and realizing that sometimes love isn't enough - and sometimes it just might be.

He was wearing a red plaid shirt with a pair of skinny jeans, and completed the look with a pair of red Chuck Taylor's. He looked at my car in disgust, as he rolled out his bike. The first thing he said to me will always be imprinted in my mind, "Buy a pair of Doc Martens, and then we'll talk." Cover by @pawfectly

Maribel thinks she is happy, in the 'I only interact with other humans when I order my cup of overpriced coffee' kind of way. Bishop thinks he is happy, in the 'I want to hug everyone and kiss every baby' kind of way. The two different definitions of the word collide, as well as the people who hold them. //Short Story #65
