Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone!

There was only a few inches of space between our lips, "if you don't like me, then why haven't you pulled back?" "I don't like-" I cut her off by pressing my lips to hers. She tensed up, then relax into the kiss, her arms sliding around my sides as she closed the gap between us. ------- What happens when the boy who always teased you growing up, suddenly, well, grew up.
