"Give me back my diary."I said while pinned under Dylan. "For one thing your sneaking in skills lack, and two, I'm not giving you your diary back."Dylan said while smirking down at me. And then he did something I didn't see coming, he kissed me. It was very short, but sweet...until I remembered I was still pinned down on his bed. After a couple seconds of silence, I finally spoke. "I didn't want to have to do this, but seeing as you're not going to move..."I said before shoving him with all my might, rolled out from beneath him, ran to the windowsill, and jumped out of his windowsill onto mine, and locked my window. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Skylar White, your average 17 year old good girl, straight A's, perfect attendance, and a clean record until Tony Fillen shows up.

<b>Every bridal party has that one girl who manages to turn the joy of a dream wedding into an absolute nightmare. Shana Benedict doesn't see the problem with that.</b> Here's a riddle: What two words are the most fun to say, but are the most horrifying to hear? Give up? The answer is: "I'm engaged." And just so you know, this story isn't about me getting to say them. It's not that I'm jealous or anything. Well, okay, yes. I'm a little jealous that my best friend is getting married. But it's not like I'm going out of my way to sabotage her wedding or anything because of it. I just don't spend every waking moment focused on the thing. If my best friend in the entire world can't understand that, it's not my problem. I have a life of my own, you know. I mean, I'm getting married, too! Someday. And trust me, when I do, my wedding is going to be awesome. I've already got the groom picked out and everything. (He just doesn't know it yet.) Livia thinks I'm being ridiculous. I think she's being selfish. I mean, who says this entire year has to be about her? Like I'm just supposed to drop everything and be a slave for the next twelve months? Yeah right. If that makes me The Girl You Love to Hate, so be it. I don't care what anyone thinks. I know I'm better than that. <i>AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is not a sweet, romantic love story. It's a cringing, screaming, throw-the-book-across-the-room story. It's also a standalone, but reading "Down the Shore" first is highly suggested.</i> <b>READ WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR: Validation, angst, snark, and ripping your hair out. Consider yourself warned.</b>

In 1984, 6-year-old Alexander Sedona walks into an old-fashioned schoolhouse in the quaint rural town of Oaksbury, Pennsylvania, situated in the heart of the Old Amish Country. In one of the country's safest places, the small boy never leaves the old schoolhouse. An inexplicable phenomenon, his disappearance rocks the community to the core. Believing the boy's disappearance to be the result of witchcraft, devil worship, or even worse, the town of Oaksbury quickly deteriorates. Three decades pass, and as the memory of Alexander Sedona's disappearance fades, so does what is left of the once-beautiful town. Those who remain live simple, quiet lives. Little disturbs the peace until Rosalie Andrews, the former apprentice in charge of the children that haunted night, comes across a body. The corpse is that of a stunning young woman, lying beneath the azaleas that still bloom in the yard of the abandoned school house. A black cat anxiously circles her body, a mysterious note tucked in his collar. The young woman's body is pristine, except for one perplexing fact. The crime lab discovers she is covered in the blood of Alexander Sedona, the schoolboy who disappeared before she was even born. Determined to put a lifetime of guilt behind her and lay the ghosts of her childhood to rest, Rosalie makes it her mission to find justice for Alexander Sedona--and the angelic young woman who tells his secrets from beyond the grave.

"You okay there, partner?" he chuckled. Our bodies were centimeters away from touching so I took a step back. A fatal mistake, which caused my back to hit the wall, trapping me in front of him.
