Alicia's not much for talking, and perhaps that's the reason behind her nickname - 'Listen'. She knows that sometimes keeping quiet is better than hearing the truth. Yet when she is gifted with a Polaroid camera and a charming - albeit clumsy - boy comes literally tumbling into her life, she starts to discover that maybe staying silent isn't always the answer. With a summer that seems endless and a camera to capture it all, Listen begins to realise that speaking up isn't always a bad thing, and that maybe she finally has a story worth telling. But secrets can't stay hidden forever, and the memories are as fragile as the snapshots in her hands... ________________ beautiful cover made by @anomaly-

“I’m a hopeless romantic. Not a prostitute!” You’d think that for a guy who could make the entire female population of our high school drop their pants at the snap of his finger, Adam Flynn would have some sort of charm. Instead, he is the opposite of charming. He’s revolting; he’s mean; and his only saving point in this world is the fact that he’s the American reincarnation of Adonis. Maybe I should’ve kept my mouth shut. That way, he never would’ve realized his eye-sex doesn’t work on everyone. That way, I wouldn’t be stuck giving him lessons on how to be more romantic. That way, I would be free to find a real guy I actually had a chance at a relationship with. Karma sucks balls, and so does he. [ current cover by hunnaycakes ]

"You never know what you have until it's gone, never had those words meant so much to me. Everything I had taken for granted had just slipped from my grasp and there was nothing I could do about it. People that called themselves my friends just walked away when there was no longer any merit in being friends with me. These are all things I learned after I woke up in the hospital and the only things that greeted me were the cries of my parents and darkness." Blind and ready to give up, Hunter, tries to make it through each day one at a time, when Blake Summers comes into his life. She's annoying and always too happy, but there is just something about her that draws him in. Maybe it's the fact she laughs even when she's crying, or how she constantly tells him to keep smiling. Blake is sick and tired of her family treating her like a puppet. After of years of dealing with it, in the spur of the moment, she packs up and moves to California to live with her brother. Walking into a school for the first time in her life, she hears the sound of the piano and follows it to the one and only Hunter James. He's rude, arrogant, and nothing like the guy she always dreamed of, yet she finds herself drawn to him. As she tries to help him overcome his blindness, he unknowingly helps her overcome her past.

this pull is more than just gravity.

Stereotypes. I hate them. On my first day at my new school, a girl in a blue and white cheerleader's uniform told me I 'looked like a cheerleader' and asked me to come to tryouts. I almost decked her. Blonde hair and blue eyes do not a cheerleader make. Cheerleaders can be bitchy and mean but they can also act all happy and excited and they can drool and swoon over Finn Wallace – the hands-down hottest guy in school – like there's no tomorrow. Me? Well, I'm just bitchy and mean. So someone please tell me why Finn Wallace is suddenly chasing after me? *This is NOT a Bridgit Mendler fan fiction* Copyright © 2013 CrayonChomper
