for DarknessAndLight's contest! here's my Blake×Lexi short story. Hope you enjoy

Nik doesn't know what he's doing with his life. Before his father died, he was all set on becoming a great doctor, like him, but now, he just doesn't know. Dropping out of med school might have been a bad idea. Getting into art school would have give his father an aneurysm. Getting his body covered in tattoo was kind of an overkill. Thing is, Nik doesn't really care anymore. And he should care. He just doesn't know what to care about.

"I'm in love with you." How many times would I have to think about this, how many times, before she could hear it, feel it, see it in my eyes? "I'm in love with you." How could I make her see without telling her, without scaring her off... without losing her. I couldn't lose her.

Lexi Grayson is a normal teenager, as normal as she can be with her unobserving skills and her overthinking mind. But she might need the overthinking if she wants to unravel the smirking mystery that is Blake Eaton.

The Shy Boy and the Girl in the Green Dress A 'I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls... Pitiful I Know' alternate universe story. What would have happened if Alex had been honest right from the start and Lexi never would have had a crush on him? What would have happened if Blake and Lexi had talked during Blake's first day of class. In this alternate universe, watch how one small decision changed completely the course of Blake and Lexi's relationship. (If you haven't read 'I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls... Pitiful I Know' you can still read this, but you'll be missing some of the references.) (Cover drawing made by Kristina Webb.

Because their story is too interesting to ever have an end. Follow Blake and Lexi through the years!
