"this is your kind of story. no one is the good guy-- no one is the bad guy-- the blame shifts from monster to monster and in this place everyone bares their teeth." [featured. highest ranking: #6 in poetry.]

"Why do you love me? I'm fat" I said as I looked down at my feet. "Princess there's a difference between fat and thick" he said as he grabbed a hand full of my ass. --------------------- Diamond Ryder is a 17 year old curvy girl. Her past is so messed up that she doesn't consider herself beautiful. She can't even look in the mirror anymore. She has no friends at school and her bestfriend is her mom. Sam Greene is the school's bad boy. Girls chase after him but, he doesn't really pay attention to them. Diamond ran into Sam's life, literally. When they come across each other what will happen? Will Diamond let her guard down and love again? ------------------ ⚠️Under major editing⚠️ ------ Jay112098 "I really enjoy your story for the curvy, it's a nice escape from reality. I live in a small racist town where I get bullied and when I read your book it gives me a peace of mind that not all white people are racist" Tayjay207 "My favorite book" Amii_xo13 "I love this book" XWeirdSnackx "Its like my life depends on it" Zoeneluise "Its weird because I can relate to this" MochaBousso "I just LOVE THIS STORY❤ definitely going to my reading list" Kuwonubeans "I love this booookkk❤" Karentina23 "Gosh I love this book❤" User75473053 "I'm in love with this book❤❤❤"

"You don't know what it's like to be my size!" I yelled at Naomi. "Me? I wish I could be your size!" "No one wants to be me, no one dreams of being plus sized!" "You dont think it's hard being skinny? I WISH I could gain weight!" I sucked my teeth. Fetishing my weight is not real. Being overweight is dehumanizing. I disgust people. No one wishes to be big. Dreams aren't for real. Thin is in, always have been. Always will be. One more thing. Wildflowers don't exist.

Confidence - a feeling of self assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's or qualities It's easier defined then felt. That's how Nebbie Blair feels about her self unconfident. For her it's hard to just love herself due to what other people tell her. Going into high school she met the most popular guy in the school, Lance. It's hard for her to imagine him liking a girl like her but it gives her the confidence she always wanted. But then she realizes how fake their love was and think that love is fake and doesn't believe in it. Until Adonis came along to change how she feels. But in order to love someone you have to love yourself first.

"We need We. Don't forget that, Nebbie." "We need we. I promise I won't." A promise between soulmates is a promise that shouldn't be broken. Unfortunately, a tragic event occurs in Nebbie and Adonis's relationship that causes that promise to break. Two whole years have gone by since they last seen each other and they are now on two different paths. But not one day they don't think about each other. Nebbie has moved on while Adonis's love still lingers for her. Can the two get back on the right path or would the promise be forever broken?
