It always seems to end the same way, doesn’t it? The ‘wallflower girl’ and the ‘popular boy’ fall in love, or the ‘mean girl’ and the ‘weird girl’ become best friends, leaving the entire school in shock. In real life, though, this isn’t so realistic. I mean, yes, it can happen, but it never really does. This isn’t the triumphant tale of six teenagers who are bold enough to step out of their comfort zone and befriend people of opposite personalities, somehow making it work and becoming a force to be reckoned with. Rather, this is the less spotlighted story of the ones who embrace the stereotype they’ve been assigned, the ones who, for whatever reason, are afraid of being something that nobody thinks they are, and the ones who, when forced to, are hesitant to even associate with people unlike themselves. And who knows, maybe along the way the ‘popular boy’ will fall in love with the ‘wallflower girl’, and maybe the same girl will suddenly find herself acquainted with the ‘mean girl.’ But then, maybe not. And maybe in the end things will come together perfectly, and everyone will realize that breaking out of a stereotype is always the right thing to do. But then, maybe not.

"The idea of definite death itself captivates me. Being able to decide for yourself when you die must be wonderful. Maybe not even that. Peaceful death would be nice - after a full life stocked with health and pleasant memories with the ones you love. I imagine that illness is the worst possible way to die. But I've digressed..." *All people, places, and events in this book are completely fictional unless otherwise stated.*

Stereotypes. I hate them. On my first day at my new school, a girl in a blue and white cheerleader's uniform told me I 'looked like a cheerleader' and asked me to come to tryouts. I almost decked her. Blonde hair and blue eyes do not a cheerleader make. Cheerleaders can be bitchy and mean but they can also act all happy and excited and they can drool and swoon over Finn Wallace – the hands-down hottest guy in school – like there's no tomorrow. Me? Well, I'm just bitchy and mean. So someone please tell me why Finn Wallace is suddenly chasing after me? *This is NOT a Bridgit Mendler fan fiction* Copyright © 2013 CrayonChomper

"It physically hurts me how you're so boring." Lorraine Booth was never an outgoing person, but all it takes is being crowned the 'goody-two-shoes' of her senior yearbook for her to take a drastic summer change. But she's resigned to needing help, and who better than a certain motorcycle-driving, tattoo adorning, mysterious boy-band member?

Beth always liked the idea of someone chasing after her affections, until someone like Liam Payne decided to do just that. When Christmas is in the air, Beth is incapable of being anything but happy but stirring in an international pop-star with her seasons plans is a sure way to have her doubting tradition.
