Every love has a story. How you first met. Who said the first word. Even mine does. Seven o'clock is not the time anyone will think of falling in love. But as our worlds collided, we did just that. In a moment lost in space, a single introduction had changed everything. I wonder if things would have been different if the day we met came with a warning. A word to tell you that this was right or this could be wrong in so many ways. I wonder where he is right now. I wonder if he's happy with his life. I wonder if anything would have changed if we did things differently. Placing our hearts on the line and flipping the pages one after the other, our story was written. It happened before we knew it, and there was no way we could have taken it back. That's just how it goes. Every first love has a story. Do you want to hear mine?

Destiny Colt. One would think with such a strong name, she would have been different. But... nope. Her schedule consisted of cramming all her books with less than three hours for the test. Or copying her friend's homework with the speed of an electrocuted cheetah. Why? Because like you and me, she was too busy with the late night Netflix marathon and watching enough YouTube videos to end up on its wrong side. If there was one award she was entitled to, it was--Procrastination Queen. Tanner Blackburn. The other side of the world for Destiny. Glued to his MacBook, he might just give the late Steve Jobs a run for his money. Procrastination was not a word in his dictionary. Girls dropped to his feet, not for his mind but for his looks. Because he was no less endowed in that department too. They had nothing in common, both a beautiful mystery to each other. But haven't you heard the saying? Opposites attract.

"Why do you call me that?" "Everyone has been calling you Snow Queen since you transferred schools and you're just now asking why?" he asked incredulously. "Yeah, I guess I am." He looked straight into my eyes and said, "It's because you're like snow; beautiful and cold."

Short Story #504 [READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING BEFORE NEXT CHAPTER UPLOAD. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED DUE TO THE MAJOR PLOT HOLES YOU MAY FIND] "People are like doors, really." * Greyson Montgomery, where do I begin? Greyson and I had been friends since the first day of kindergarten when we both had an intellectual argument about the brown colored pencil and how it is judged simply because it reminds others of feces. We believed that the brown colored pencil was wrongly misjudged because chocolate is also brown and people love the sugary goodness, yet we never go labeling chocolate as poop. That was the start of our beautiful friendship. I believed Greyson and I shared the same gift. He made me feel, well, not so different. Don’t get me wrong I never minded being the odd one out, but I had a friend who was just as much of an oddball as I and that was nice. That all changed the day Greyson decided to ditch me claiming I had cooties in the third grade, when we both knew what cooties actually were. Bugs. We did our research when the cootie epidemic broke out. Kids all across the country were claiming the other gender had ‘cooties’ it was quite a serious matter that we found necessary to know about. “It’s not you, it’s me,” were the last words he said before he drifted away from me. We were nine at the time. We hadn’t spoken in eight years after the tragic ending to our relationship and we steered clear of the other’s path. He found a group of imbecilic friends that he could ‘relate’ to and I, well, I was on my own. We had an unspoken agreement to stay out of the other’s way. He lived his life, I lived mine. All that changed the minute he slid into the empty seat next to me after being introduced by our teacher. I’m not going to lie, Greyson Montgomery was a door, a very attractive door. (He's not really a door, he's an actual person if that clears up any confusion. Door is just in reference to her analogy.)

"I'm not attracted to you at all, to be honest.'' ''And I don't really believe that's true, to be honest.'' *** Ellie Hepburn wasn't really candid to herself recently. She pretended to be happy and to live a fantastic life, but that was just an illusion. In reality: her life sucked at the moment. Big time. Her parents were in the middle of getting divorced, she didn't really enjoy hearing her best friend and her boyfriend dancing the ''passionate flamenco'' together in a toilet cabin, and she certainly didn't adore her ex-childhood friend- who was now her personal nemesis-, Aidan Knight, annoying the bloody rest out of her. But what happened when she was forced to work together with him in the organisation team for the upcoming school festival and they have to spend, uhm, almost everyday together? Everything seemed to change, Aidan was becoming cockier and cockier (unfortunately also hotter and hotter) each day, and teenage hormones were swirling around in the air like snowflakes on a winter day. Of course, she would never be interested in someone like Aidan. Then again, Ellie Hepburn wasn't really candid to herself recently. Copyright © 2014
