"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"

"You're just a girl, not even a pretty one. You were just something to fill my spare time, nothing more. And these? Well they're just notes."

❝ it takes 21 days to form a new habit. ❞ -dr. maxwell maltz when you practically live in a hospital, you'll inevitably get used to terminal sicknesses, depression, and death. it further underlines the quote, "nothing is permanent." caleb has nothing permanent in his life. and ever since his mom's absence, that's all he ever wanted; something tangible, something real, something constant. well, at least there's his one-legged african-american best friend that would never leave him alone (hopefully). and who would've thought that another constant would appear in the form of a cigarette-toting spaniard? and caleb hopes, just hopes, that he wouldn't be another temporary.

After spending the first six weeks of her junior year in the hospital, slightly depressed (but mostly tired) Everett Meyers finds it hard to fit back into the routine of her small Catholic school, especially considering she lost what little faith she had back at the hospital. So when Everett’s parents suggest that she move to a traditional high school after the semester ends, she’s quick to agree. Before she knows it, Everett is saying goodbye to everything she used to know and staring down the main (and very crowded) hallway of North View High School. Coming to a new school in the middle of the year proves more difficult than Everett thought, because she not only has a lot of school work to make up, but also has to figure out how the hell to make some friends. But when her counselor decides she needs a tutor, Everett gains a whole lot more than homework help. Because with Carson Heffer, there’s always more than meets the eye.
