it's a sigh, a kiss blown from one lover to the next, a desperate way to fix all the wrongs in the world, when nothing about it can be changed. it's a soft caress, similar to the tender looks and smiles exchanged by the hopeless romantics. it's an excuse, used to escape from the harsh reality of the catastrophes occurring, you said. but oh, darling, how wrong you were

There in those city lights, there was no her and there was no him. There was just everything and nothing and the spaces in between, like flickering lights against a never-ending, black sky. There in those city lights, there was no love and there was no hate. There was just listening and talking and understanding every single thing, like the 'ready, stop, go' of car-chasers and dream-makers. There in those city lights, there was no sadness and there was no happiness. There was just candid smiles and wasted tears and bottom lips chewed off, like the overflowing boulevard of things unseen. There in those city lights, there was no lady and there was no man. There was just a boy and a girl, who promised to fall in love, not with each other, but in those city lights.

"I'm not attracted to you at all, to be honest.'' ''And I don't really believe that's true, to be honest.'' *** Ellie Hepburn wasn't really candid to herself recently. She pretended to be happy and to live a fantastic life, but that was just an illusion. In reality: her life sucked at the moment. Big time. Her parents were in the middle of getting divorced, she didn't really enjoy hearing her best friend and her boyfriend dancing the ''passionate flamenco'' together in a toilet cabin, and she certainly didn't adore her ex-childhood friend- who was now her personal nemesis-, Aidan Knight, annoying the bloody rest out of her. But what happened when she was forced to work together with him in the organisation team for the upcoming school festival and they have to spend, uhm, almost everyday together? Everything seemed to change, Aidan was becoming cockier and cockier (unfortunately also hotter and hotter) each day, and teenage hormones were swirling around in the air like snowflakes on a winter day. Of course, she would never be interested in someone like Aidan. Then again, Ellie Hepburn wasn't really candid to herself recently. Copyright © 2014
