On the outside, Riley Jennings has got it under control. She's the top of the class, ivy-league bound, and plans to go far in life. But nobody knows the dark secret that she lives with; her perfect, football star boyfriend, Blake, is a monster. She's forced to conformity, only to meet the one person who will help her break out of her shell, and break out of her detrimental relationship. Dean Marks, the new rebellious transfer student, has taken it upon himself to help Riley. Little does she know, he's got a dark secret too; one only his protective, controlling, older brother Alex knows about. Together, they will run from their pasts, only to stumble into them once more.

This is a bit of the book. Please do not copy. Hope you enjoy x. ******************************************* I just rolled my eyes. I entered the classroom suddenly all eyes fell on me. I see Kyle sitting in my usual seat. "Why are you in my seat?" I questioned Kyle yet again. "Because I 'am , why does it have your name on it ?" Kyle replied with another question. "No" I say getting a little annoyed "So it's not your seat" Kyle says shrugging his shoulders as he said it. I give him a death stare and sit in front of him. "Leigh" Kyle calls I whip round. "What?!" I say angrily "Has anyone told you ? You look cute when your angry." Kyle says with smirk. I turned around ignoring his rhetorical question.

This is just my escape. I'm sorry if this doesn't please you. I wrote all this down on my own then typed it. I apologize to anyone if I have your writing. I made all these up on my own while alone. If it was already published somewhere, I didn't know and I'm sorry. This is just me expressing how I feel and things I have to go through and have gone through. I hope you dont see me as a sad freak. Have a good life and I apologize again. • Highest ranking : #1 in poetry •

*Completed* "I just want to know why." I say as I turn over, trying to find his figure through the dark of my room. "Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me." I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how." I scrunch my brow. "How what?" His response is soft, the opposite of his sarcastic personality. "How you don't see it." ******* Reagan Holt was about as average as a high school student could be. She didn't play any sports, didn't participate in the popular activities, and wasn't the girl all the boys chased after. All except one boy. He wrote her a letter every week. Each letter described something new for him to love about her. Whether it was how beautiful her laugh was or how his heart swelled with every smile she gave, he never failed to write how he felt. So the two should be together, right? That's the way Reagan wants it, but there's just one problem. He signs his letters "Love, Anonymous." Now add an obnoxious, conceited, sex god into the equation and you get a teenage girl confused on who really loves her. The sweet, tender written anonymous lover, or the cocky, ignorant asshole? -REVIEWS- "You create such wonderful characters and I can't wait to see what happens next!"
