Nettie blames unlucky circumstances and her own lifelong misfortune for the fact that her peers have found out her name can easily be manipulated to 'Nerdie'. It's even more unfortunate that Nettie happens to be a huge, socially awkward, epic spaz of a nerd. Joshua, who happens to be her best friend, finds this hilarious. Well, he would, because Joshua has been a certified jerk since the first grade, which is both bad and good, because he's also the most blunt person anyone knows. The only one he's not directly a jerk to... is Nettie. Everybody else is still trying to figure it out, including Nettie. But ten years on and Joshua's still the only one who knows why he's so weird. Their story told through texts. [just a short story to help get my creative juices running again]

One destiny. One love. Sophia Dennings was a hopeless romantic as a freshman. Ever since the dreamy, popular, smart and attractive Finn Callahan let her borrow his hoodie, she was beyond smitten. But almost straight after that fateful day, he moved away from Sophia's life, but certainly not from her mind. Four years later, a (hopefully more mature) Sophia finds herself on her way to Laguna Beach, California and also finds herself on a mission to return the hoodie to its rightful owner. Who would've guessed that Sophia would be staying at the prestigious Callahan mansion, a place she could only dream of setting foot in? But then again - time has passed and things have changed. Is Sophia still as convinced the almighty Finn is her prince charming?
