'"Hello, Tyler." "How did you know it was me?" "Because you're, like, the only person who ever calls." "I'm hungry." "Well, I've been sitting around for two hours waiting for someone to have an emergency." "I'm gonna go order some pizza." "I want pizza..." "Sucks for you."' Notice: This book is unedited and was written in the beginning of my writing "career." I do realize that random, unexplainable things happen throughout the story so please forgive me for those moments. I don't mind constructive criticism, but let's keep the hate to a minimum.

Scarlett Rose doesn't know what to make out of life. All she knows for now is that she wants out. Out from her abusive parents. Out from the stress of being a teenager. She won't admit that she's depressed, and insists that she's just being realistic. She just knows life is cruel and there's nothing you can do about it but accept that you're fucked up. This is her outlook on life since forever, but then she meets Jai. Jai who is just as fucked up as her. Something about him intrigues her and her world changes. For the better or for the worse, she isn't sure.

A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old).

"Everybody makes mistakes. Some more than others but we all do. Some are small, big, crazy or stupid, but it’s still a mistake." Katie wakes up unable to remember the pervious night or why her boyfriends best friend is in her bed.
