To outsiders, Brooklyn Waters may seem like your normal, beautiful, and friendly nerd. She's had straight A's all her life, very popular academically, and is the nicest person you'd ever meet. She's never broken any rules and is always involved in school. But is Brooklyn really the nice, goody-two shoes that everyone thinks she is? Is there someone out there that just needs to finally get Brooke to express her true colors and become free of stressful burdens? Is that person Mitch? To outsiders, Mitchell Maxwell may seem like your normal sexy, arrogant, and superior bad boy. Rich, bad, and hates school and everything about it. He could care less about anyone in his life and doesn't want anyone in his way. This is his second year as a senior and he doesn't even care. The only person that does care is his father. His father who is willing to pay big amounts of money to hire a tutor for Mitch so that he can graduate this year. But can it be that Mitchell is not what he appears to be? Is there someone out there that just finally needs to crack through his thick walls and get to know his side of his own story? Is that person Brooke? What happens to Ms. Perfect and Mr. Bad Boy when they are forced to cross paths? Will something magical happen, or will family, best friends, enemies, and others get in the way?

After losing her parents in a horrible crash, Elena is forced to move halfway across the country with her little brother Lucas.

I wrote this story when I was 13 and have decided to come back and edit it. In the next few weeks, I'll be going through and improving/adding on to the story. The story will change significantly, so if you have already read it I encourage you to read it again. I will be taking down and republishing chapters after I have edited them. I hope you all enjoy the new story, thank you! (characters and themes will remain the same)
