I wrote this many years ago and did not take it seriously. It is a complete draft full of mistakes. I understand this may be frustrating when reading and I apologise. But I would rather focus on improving my writing now and focus on my new writing, rather than go over and edit this, when I already have edited the other version not on Wattpad.

Holly and Shane are together -- happier than ever. The two are inseperable, and all drama during the summer is forgotten. Now everything is just perfect for the adorable couple. ...Or is it? As for Matt, he's suddenly not so into hooking up with every girl anymore. Perhaps it has something to do with these small feelings he's starting to develop for a certain crazy pink-haired girl. But how can that be? How can someone like Matt Lavery -- popular, charming and athletic...even think about falling for someone who has almost nothing in common with him? It's crazy, right? As for Ally, she's beginning to learn what it's like to live in the real world. Getting her driver's license and working at Starbucks as her first job ever, not to mention having to put up with an annoying douchebag more than ever.

If you thought the summer had enough drama for the twins or the girls, then you just might be well mistaken. Continue the hilarious, sexy journey in the second book of The Lavery Twins.

"I-I think I'm in love with you." My eyes widened and my breath caught as those words left his lips. It was my worst and most beautiful nightmare coming alive. But I couldn't, I just couldn't. "I-I can't, I'm sorry." I started running away, wiping the stray tears that betrayed me and leaked, with the palm of my hand. I sniffed, feeling a growing pain in my heart. I clutched my chest, barely able to handle it. I kept running, but when I knew I was far enough, I fell to my knees, still holding my chest. That's when I heard it. The sound that shouldn't even be audible was so loud in the still silence that it swayed the trees. But maybe that was just an illusion. Maybe only I could hear it. The sound of my heart breaking. ______________________________________ Two people. Entirely opposite in only one manner. Noah's on his 'quest for love,' and Jade cowers from any such feelings.

[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon!
