==WARNING== I wrote this a couple of years ago and it isn't well written. I am hoping to rewrite this but for now this will be up. Before you read this you should probably reconsider since the plot is cliche in the worst way possible, some scenes are hard to follow and lets not mention the multitude of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK DONT TELL ME I DIDNT WARN YOU Now for the $H!T Description: Let me introduce myself, my name is Rhea Lyon but in school I am known as Rhea Matthews or 'nerd girl'. My father owns the largest chain of high class schools, hotels and restaurants and my mother owns the most successful range of fashion. Everyone expects their daughter to be a beautiful supermodel, but what can I say? I care more about science and maths than I do for fashion. I am someone most people would call a nerd. I stay invisible to everyone except my best friend Jessica Fawk; no one in the school even knows that I am the sister of the school football team's captain. Then one day when I come home I discover something I never thought I would encounter. I decide that the bullying has to stop. Jessica and I change completely, from the nerds to the most popular girls in school. We learn to defend ourselves, how to be confident and we never let anyone step on us anymore. And on top of all of that....well, there are guys.

{ Watty 2015 Winner + Featured Story } Meet Sawyer Jameson. On the outside, she's a normal seventeen year old girl with amazing friends, a charitable job and a loving family. She's beautiful, funny and easy to get along with and just by looking at her, you'd think that she's the perfect girl, living in the perfect world. On the inside though, just waking up and living her day-to-day life is a struggle for Sawyer. Well, aware of this fact, Sawyer's mother forces to see a psychiatrist after school on a daily basis in order to cope with the tragic events Sawyer encountered a year prior. Now meet Graham Cambridge. Those who don't know him could easily stereotype him as being a blunt, selfish, egotistical golden boy, just because he likes to party and play football. Those who actually know him though know that he's actually quite the opposite of all of those things. When Graham transfers from his elite prep school to Sawyer's high school and quickly takes an interest in her, things go from bad to worse. At least, that's what Sawyer's convinced herself of. What people don't realize though is that maybe they were wrong about Graham Cambridge and that his life is about as far from perfect as they come and that he and Sawyer are alike in more ways than one. Two completely different teenagers that maybe aren't all that different after all are about to embark on a wild ride that neither of them could have ever expected. Can they help each other get past their demented previous tragedies? Or are their bygones too great to ever escape them? And can Sawyer ever truly be saved? Full of romance, heartbreak and just a little bit of fate, the next couple of months will challenge both Sawyer and Graham in ways they never thought possible. And maybe, just maybe, something beautiful will come out of it. © Copyright 2013 Millie Morgan. All Rights Reserved.
