Natalie has never been in love. But on a fateful day, she finds a mysterious daisy in her locker. And it came with a letter from a guy admitting he was totally in love with her. Who could it be? But in the letter, her secret admirer gives her a riddle to another clue. If she ever wanted to know who he was, she'd have to play his game. With the help of Delilah and Jake, her best friends, this game will be a piece of cake. But is it actually possible that Natalie is falling in love for the first time with a guy she doesn't even know? And what happens when you find out the person you were falling so hard for, wasn't exactly who you expected? (All For A Daisy is a story inspired by I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift. I know that song isn't about daisies but I thought it added a sweet little twist to it. This was for TaylorShaeee's Challenge when I was still on booksie.) Author's note (July 2014): Please keep in mind this was written in 2008-2009 when I was 14, so it's super cliche and cheesy, but I respect my 14-year-old self for being brave enough to voice and finish a story like this. I look back on this story as my starting point, and my writing style has evolved immensely since then. But anyway, I hope you like it! Happy reading!

Moments like that happen only in fairy tales. One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in love-at-first-sight is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding true love doesn’t guarantee a happily ever after . . . it only further threatens it. Will an unbearable secret from the past jeopardize Daniel and Six’s only chance at saving each other?

"You know what stood out to me when I first met you?" He asked me. I shook my head. "Most people who walk in here, I can guess where they'll go. Which genre, I mean. But you, you surprised me." "Why?" I asked. "Because you." He said. "You walked in here with a Fall Out Boy shirt on, and went straight for the classical section."
