A (not-so) hopeless romantic writer. A weird (not-so-much of a) stranger. A lot of (denying) feelings in between. A (continuation of the online) connection that ends on 11 / 23.

A writer. A weird stranger. A lot of little conversations. An online understanding. Every night. 23:11.

If you think you've heard my story before trust me-- you haven't. -Jade Louise Cruz

They survived high school. They chose each other. But love in the real world? That's a whole different battlefield. In Hey! Be Mine - Book 2 : His, the story picks up as our favorite opposites enter a new chapter: college. New schedules, new surroundings, and new people. They're still in love-but life isn't the same. He's still the confident, charming guy everyone gravitates toward. She's still the quiet, grounded girl who never asked for the spotlight. But now, they're on different courses, with different lives pulling them in different directions. And just when they thought they'd made it through the hard part... His ex is back-and this time, she's staying. More than just a memory, she's now his classmate. His first love. His fiancée. And she's not giving up without a fight. On her side, things aren't any simpler. One of her new classmates-a serious, quiet guy who's everything her boyfriend isn't-has his eyes on her. He's not friendly. He's not flirty. But he's always there. Watching. Waiting. Wanting her to notice him. In a world full of distractions and doubt, will love still be enough? Find out more... ©prettymari

What happens when Ms NBSB meets Mr Playboy? He's everything she can't stand: carefree, rich, arrogant, and the center of everyone's attention. With effortless charm and a trail of admirers, he's never had to try-at anything, especially love. She's his complete contrast: anxious, reserved, invisible in a crowd, and painfully aware of the social gap between them. She's used to staying in the background while excelling quietly in everything she does-except matters of the heart. Their worlds couldn't be more different. He dates for fun. She avoids it altogether. He lives for the spotlight. She hides from it. He wants her attention. She wants him to leave her alone. But when the school's ultimate heartthrob sets his sights on the most unlikely girl, sparks fly-and not always in a good way. What starts as an annoyance grows into curiosity... then something deeper. He's drawn to her coldness, her intelligence, her mystery. She's confused by his persistence, his contradictions, and the pieces of himself he hides behind his smile. As tension builds and walls begin to crack, the real question is: can two people from such different worlds find something real between them? Or are they simply too opposite to make it work? Read at your own risk. ©prettymari
