"Look Harmony! I'm on top of the world!" His voice bellowed throughout the hushed parking lot. "No, Louis. You're on top of a car." I sniggered at the look of defeat on his face. "Come on Harmony, just pretend." The way he leaned forward and whispered to me made me think of my brother Ben before he left our Neverland for his grown up life. Louis reached his hand out for me to take and I eagerly grasped it, allowing him to pull me up onto the hood beside him. After I had balanced myself, I looked over to Louis. He was staring up at the sky. Staring at the brilliantly lit stars, all of his attention going to those stars. I took this moment to look at him. His blue eyes were captivated by the stars, handsome chiseled features, thin lips slightly parted so that each breath would allow white puffs of steam to fill the air. Louis was honestly really handsome and no matter how long we would have stayed there, I don't think I could have looked away. Blue eyes flicked to mine, forgetting the stars, and studied my face. After some time, Louis huffed out a breathe and turned back to the sky. "Why are you so childish, Harmony?" He questioned me. The question surprised me. "Why are you so childish, Louis?" I countered. He chuckled and turned to me one last time. "Because there's no fun in being grown up." His blue eyes held a sense of honesty that may be beyond me. I gave him a sad smile. "To never grow up." I sighed out and started to get off the hood of the car, going the direction the others went. But before I was completely gone, I heard Louis shout out into the night sky. "To never grow up!"

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.
