unspoken stories in only six words. /// 11.11.15 #2 in Short Story ///

It didn't take long for junior Miren Eze to realize that high school is just an academic cover up for hell. Especially when she is terrorized daily by Penelope van Helsing, a friend turned evil nemesis. After a cruel prank at an assembly for a coveted award leaves Miren scholarship-less and practically expelled, she's left with no options until her best friend Chara suggests she transfers to the neighboring all-boys school. With the help of Chara's computer hacking boyfriend, they devise a plan that is stupid, risky, and requires plenty of gauze. But what seems like a bad plot of a rom-com ends up having harsher ramifications than Miren could have ever anticipated. Especially when Jeno, her handsome but cold roommate, discovers her secret - and sees the disguise as the perfect opportunity to get revenge on Penelope. MEAN GIRLS meets SHE'S THE MAN in a humorous, but darker tale of identity and redemption.

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without "con." I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department-I barely even shop in department stores. Instead, this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only part of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what's actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS . . . that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide "Should I actually buy this?" -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I'm not stylish-I'm self-aware. I'm not polished-I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy-but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, "style" is just a simple way of saying "I showered."

"This story is about those tattered red Chucks. That's right, a whole book based off of one pair of shoes. A very special pair of shoes." "How exactly are those shoes so special? I guess it isn't exactly the shoes themselves that are so interesting. It's the people I meet with them. Every single person that has ever had some sort of impact in my life had, in one way or another, something to do with those shoes. My girlfriend, my best friend, my nemesis, my dead neighbor, my dog. All huge parts of my life. All in some way related to the shoes."
