"Your persistence in this matter is becoming somewhat irritating," Adira couldn't help but give him a look of slight annoyance. "Why must I smile if you already see my amusement?" The boy before her shook his head determinedly, his mindset of that of a brick wall. "You can't express your feelings fully with just the tilt of your head, Addie." Her eyes narrowed at the use of her nickname, a question wandering on the tip of her tongue as to why he decided to use it. "This is a world where the word 'never' is no longer concrete," she replied back with a toneless retort. He nodded and his eyes wandered about the features of her face, getting entrapped with her glittering green eyes. After a moment of silence, he grinned widely, causing Adira to go into an instant state of weariness. "There is something I want to do, and Adira, it involves five steps. Want to give it a go?" _____ The action of smiling comes naturally to most. A little harder for others, but they are able to do it nonetheless. Except for Adira Blackwood that is. She doesn't smile, period. The mystery only unfolds as Adira is a happy, carefree teenage girl with a loving family. So why doesn't she smile? This is what Nolan Axton decides to find out after spending some time with the walking paradox, a new student who can't seem to keep his attention away from her for long. Follow the story of an unsmiling teenage girl paired with an ever-grinning French Casanova, who creates a five step plan to get the stoic, and seemingly emotionless, Adira Blackwood on her way to a smile.

A girl gets her phone stolen and she eventually has small conversations with the phone snatcher. Their small, annoying and pleasant conversations may or may not lead into something more, but let's hope it does *** Published in June of 2016, edited/rewritten in April of 2019.

"But, I don't want to make them pay." "What?" "I don't wanna hurt them, or make them pay for what they've done to me, I just don't." "Hold on a second, you're telling me, that you don't want revenge on the people that have made your life a living hell since junior school?!" "Yes." "Why the fuck not?!" she growled. "Well, because, I believe in Karma." "What?" she paused, a small smile forming on her pretty face. "I believe that karma will deal with them, someday. Maybe not now, but one day, and if I'm lucky, I can watch it happen." "Oh, sweetheart," she purred, "That day, is sooner than you think, and birds what?

His arms moved suddenly, his palms slamming against the wall beside my head, his arms locked into place. "You wouldn't know," I gritted out in frustration. Landon sighed, leaning in further till his soft lips pressed against my neck lightly, briefly, making me gasp. "Trust me, I know exactly who you suit," he whispered.
