"We covet to be perfect, like atoms. They want the noble gas configuration by thieving or doing away with an electron, which we can't. We are simple human beings with cruel heart-burning thoughts -," he flickered his hand to his face to wipe away the cookie crumbs, "- Although, we don't require the change, since we are perfect the way we are. And you're too, but you've got to consider it truthful on your own, so even if I want to be I can't be your helping hand; only you can be. Now, you've got to see what your heart desires." He watched me carefully to see any change of expression on my face, but I stayed neutral. However, my insides were churning by his truthful words as my thoughts were spinning and spinning into a whirlwind of messed up words. "Be the helping hand or the soul-killer," he said before gobbling more cookies.

"Seeing you smile like that made me explode with happiness. I couldn't stop laughing myself, but who can? No one can keep their happiness in if someone like you can radiate so much happiness on us. You are beautiful, but you were beautifully gorgeous then." Edited by Bayan @Justreading1234 !

"Can you just give me the freaking chess piece?!" I gave up trying to be calm, and snapped at Nate with crossed arms. "Not until you get up there and sing." He smirked, a microphone extended towards me in his outstretched hand. Grumbling to myself, I took a calming breath. I pinched the bridge of my nose and counted to ten. Come on, do it for Spades. "Give me that mic." I muttered, snatching it from his hands. Avery was devastated when her best friend Spades moved. She dated, and tried to move on, but no one could replace him.

(I'm pretty bad at blurbs so don't let this put you off! D:)

"You know, whenever it rained I used to think that rain was your tears, which you were shedding right at that moment. I would always have the hope that you are somewhere there thinking about me and maybe you are just as sad as I am. Maybe you are also shedding tears like me. Though, I would use my umbrella so your tears wouldn't touch me. I didn't want your tears to touch me, because it would only hurt more. But I was wrong. The only one who was shedding tears was me. I was shedding them for someone who left me, someone who isn't worthy of my tears." Edited by Bayan @Justreading1234 !

When she's given the opportunity (with a super hot guy, may I add), will she take it?
