❝Its hard to live with the fact that you're in love with someone who will never love you back.❞ ©caesium- Highest ranking #22 Short Story

Sarah Allen is an ordinary teenager with a simple life of sitcoms and romance novels until one night she gets a text from her bad-boy crush, Dave Rodriguez. Apparently, Dave has mistaken the cell number of head cheerleader Caroline Roberts with Sarah's. Desperate and craving to converse with the supposed Romeo of her life; and also knowing she would never get a chance otherwise, Sarah does the stupidest, dumbest, craziest, whackiest thing a girl can do (and regrets it almost instantaneously). She texts him back, pretending to be Caroline. This goes on for days. Months. Something that started out as an embarrassing mistake grows into much more than Sarah could have imagined. They text till midnight, talking about their favourite authours, constellations and mullet rock. Never did Sarah expect their tastes in music and coffee flavours to match, let alone Dave falling in love with her. Should she tell him the truth? Dave might never forgive her, but worse, he might not be the only one in love... // Highest Ranking: #9 in Teen Fiction [25/02/17] // // Winner of the Teen Fiction Awards 2017 //

FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.
