NOTE : Read in a British accent. "And then I see her, bustling through the crowd in a flurry of gold hair and yellow glasses. She seems to be looking for something, or someone rather as she darts her fiery blue eyes. The whole sight is mesmerizing. So mesmerizing, that I don't notice when those raging blue eyes stop moving and settle on me. But it is too late when I realize, because she suddenly launches the back of her palm, through the dry air and plants it roughly on my face." -Theodore Miller (The British Accent). _____***_____ On her first day at St.Oliver's school for nerds, Sophia expected to make new friends. What she didn't expect however, was to get into an argument with a gorgeous British lad, run into the school's resident queen bee and nearly kill her philosophy teacher. But she did. And she has a story long adventure to pay for it. Goldilocks and the British Accent. Copyright©2017

DISCONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE [Highest rank so far: #57 in humor] "Boys. I don't understand them. At all. One of the most mysterious, misunderstood, and misinterpreted creatures of the planet. All we know is that they have a thing called the pen- -nevermind because I don't want to say that word..." *** Boys are the subject of every conversation in the girl's locker room, in the chatty hallways, on the staircase, and now, the science classroom. Kill me if that's not the slightest bit annoying. When 17 year old chatter-box and science geek, Alana-Lila Dizon hurls her beloved science textbook at the most popular golden boy of the school, accidentally almost knocks out an amazing athlete, and schools the smartest guy in school, maintaining an A-average in all the sciences becomes the least of her problems. Wesley (Wes) Sylvano is not a bad boy. He's known to be sweet, kind, and is all smiles. Everyone just loves him. Nicholas (Nick) Gray is the definition of scary. All around athlete, muscular physique, and with both a threatening and good reputation. Apparently he's nice to people unless you piss him off. Vincent (no nickname) Reid is your typical smart guy. He thinks he knows everything and that he's a genius, all because his dad is the CEO of a tech company. The jerk also doubles as a badboy, as they say. What do these boys have in common? Nothing, except for the fact that they're boys. And Alana-Lila Dizon is going to find out, once and for all, the science behind boys and why they're the way they are. WARNING: Contains 3 wild monkeys that may cause you to pull out your hair. Contains a girl with too much bad luck for her own good. May cause obsessive shipping, and/or laughing. Note: This is not a cliché...I think...mostly (cover picture is not mine, but belongs to the respective owner.)
