Every year, the girls assemble in the music room. The boys don't have a clue about what happens in there. But, it is the history of the school- The Boyfriend Games. Three girls from each level, from sophomores to seniors would get picked to participate. They would be assigned a boy in their school, and their goal was to make him fall in love with them. What made it hard was the distractions and the fact that the boy chosen would be the opposite of the girl. Emerald has been lucky for the last two years, but when her name is pulled out, she knows she's in deep shit. The boy assigned to her? Blake Richards. He is her worst nightmare, and the biggest player in their school. People say that he goes through girls like a man that was in a desert for a week goes through water.

Are you new to the neighborhood?" I asked curiously. "I've never seen you before." His eyes met mine, a mixture of amusement and surprise evident on his face. "We've been neighbors for the past six years." * * * Lane Avery has always been in her own little world, never noticing anything going on around her; mainly, because she simply can't care less. However, when she is stranded in a park during a hail storm, she can't refuse the help from a certain umbrella-wielding, green-eyed boy.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry!" My face burned from the embarrassment of tripping over flat ground, and falling on top of a complete stranger, smashing my lips against his in the process. "No problem at all. It was the best kiss I've ever had," He smiled back at me, his beautiful eyes crinkling kindly. * * * Eighteen-year-old Sawyer Adams is too tall, lanky and awkward - the reason why she never gets asked out by boys her age and can't seem to fit in. That is, until she fell over and kissed a stranger in Barnes and Noble.

If you're one of the quiet kids, and you like it that way, then you're not alone. My guess is that if you have heard the word introvert before, you may have heard it used to describe someone in a negative way. You might know an introvert as someone who is quieter or not as outgoing, but there is a little more to it than that. People often mistake introversion as shyness, social anxiety, or a mental illness, but introversion is actually none of these things. It is simply a personality trait. You can be an introvert and still be a happy, confident person. A lot of well-known people were introverts, like Einstein, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and even Lady Gaga This book focuses on what my experiences as an introvert have been so far, and the positives of being an introvert. It also gets into some psychology and mental health. Coming from someone who is shy as well as introverted, I also hope to talk about how to deal with shyness and build self confidence. So come join the party! Sorry. I mean the small, quiet gathering.
