"There are three things I don't do" I told him with a blank face, without a single emotion to convey "What are they?" He asked me looking straight in my eyes making me want to punch him right in the face. "I don't smile, I don't cry and I don't care" "Interesting" he smirked and I rolled my eyes at him. I stood up not wanting to have any more conversation with him but he held me back and I glared at him "Let go" "I'll make you do all three" "What?" "I'll make you cry, I'll make you care about someone and most important of all I'll make you smile" "Don't you even dare" I warned him "try to make me smile" #345 in teen fiction 14/9/16 Book cover: @writerfromabove
