Lynn Parker had a blast from the past in the form of Tyler Wilson. He was the most popular guy in school, while she was the outcast. Despite him never knowing her through their whole High School existence, she had a serious crush on him. When her year book was misplaced, and her love for him is revealed by all the hearts she drew around his pictures, she is the victim of utter humiliation at the hands of Tyler and his friends. 10 years later, when fate brings them together again, Lynn knows its an opportunity to get back at him once and for all!

For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.

While in the E.R. at Mercy Hospital, Noah meets a strange boy by the name of Tyson, who seems to be a walking contradiction. On the outside he seems cold and distant, yet when he sees Noah in the waiting room with her hand bleeding, he comes over to help her and stays by her side the whole time. When they part that night, both think they'll never see each other again. But, when Noah goes back to school after summer break she finds out that Tyson is the new student. And more surprising still, he acts like he's never seen her before and treats her coldy. Confused, Noah tries to figure out what his deal is, and it does't help that they've been paired together for a class assignment that will take the whole year to complete. ((INITIAL DRAFT))

“Think of this school as one big body of matter composed of hundreds of restless atoms,” he said, “or a fallen piece of the night sky, sprinkled with flickering stars. Every second of every day we spend within these walls, a beautiful phenomenon occurs: casual encounters leave their marks on unsuspecting lives, and in the midst of it all raw emotions like love permeate the social structure and lead to an explosive series of events, worthy of literary documentation. And it’s that seemingly harmless bumping of atoms, that unexpected crash between two stars, that…” He paused, grappling for the right words. “That… complicated compilation of colossal collisions—that right there is what I want to get down on paper and share with anyone who cares enough to listen.” *** When two practically nonexistent high school nerds take it upon themselves to observe and document the teenage drama that comes with romantic relationships, they have no idea just how much raw emotion they would witness, how many dark secrets they’d uncover, and how powerful a force love would prove itself to be. This story is the result of their labors.

They met in December.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, when all I really want is five.

There in those city lights, there was no her and there was no him. There was just everything and nothing and the spaces in between, like flickering lights against a never-ending, black sky. There in those city lights, there was no love and there was no hate. There was just listening and talking and understanding every single thing, like the 'ready, stop, go' of car-chasers and dream-makers. There in those city lights, there was no sadness and there was no happiness. There was just candid smiles and wasted tears and bottom lips chewed off, like the overflowing boulevard of things unseen. There in those city lights, there was no lady and there was no man. There was just a boy and a girl, who promised to fall in love, not with each other, but in those city lights.
