Puisi ini, Jika diungkapkan bersemuka, Akan menjadi luka, Tajamnya membelah hati dan jiwa.

"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."

Bagi aku ruang untuk tulis segala kebisuan lidah.

Katanya, aku genius dan hidupku kelewat serius. Padahal aku tidak merasa seperti itu. Oke, aku memang pernah menggelar pentas tunggal dari drama Shakespeare yang semua dialognya kuubah sendiri jadi bahasa Jawa waktu aku kelas lima SD. Waktu kelas empat SD, aku selesai menghafal seluruh isi KBBI. Aku bisa berbicara dalam bahasa Sansekerta dan memahami isi prasasti semudah orang-orang memahami isi majalah. Koleksi piala dan medali olimpiadeku (baik akademik maupun non-akademik) mungkin lebih banyak dari jumlah perempuan yang dilirik Zeus. Aku masih kelas sepuluh, tapi aku sudah iseng-iseng ikut beberapa TO SBMPTN, dan dapat nilai paling tinggi di antara anak-anak kelas dua belas. Dan banyak hal lainnya. Tapi menurutku, masih banyak hal yang belum kulakukan. Dan aku selalu merasa tidak puas kalau belum mencoba hal baru. Aku selalu penasaran. Namun, tidak pernah terpikirkan olehku, bahwa suatu hari, akan ada seseorang yang berkata bahwa aku harus mencoba jadi cewek normal. Jangan terlalu serius. Katanya, jadi remaja normal itu asyik. Nah, sudah kubilang kan, aku selalu penasaran? --- #10 in Teen Fiction [23/07/16] [cover by me + prohngs lol]

Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded 'McMaster the Disaster' nickname that has followed her around her whole life. Josie's quite content to be single, much to her mother's disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can't roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn't enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding -- okay bribing -- Josie agrees to participate. The wedding turns into the event of the year, and Josie finds herself in the middle of a paparazzi feeding frenzy, which gets even crazier after Jake Hall takes a special interest in her. Can Josie handle the pressure in the spotlight? Is it possible she might really have a chance with Jake Hall? And if she's busy worrying about all that, how in the heck is she going to keep 'McMaster the Disaster' from showing up in front of the entire world?
