When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

He is haunted with the memories of his childhood, and uses cigarettes and alcohol to stop his nightmares. But there is one thing he wants... Robyn. He likes her nerdy ways, her stubborn attitude and clumsiness. Along comes Milo, he's prepared to ruin Ollie's life to any extent as they are natural born enemies.

But Robyn can't ignore the little acts of love from Ollie which catch her breath, or make the flutters in her chest stop when she is around him. But she needs to choose Ollie or Milo as she is drifting closer to them but is still miles away.

"What is beautiful anyways? Is it the color of someone's skin or eyes? Their height? The way they dress? What is it?" I asked, not really expecting an answer. "I think beautiful is someone who looks past the exterior and gives people a chance. Someone who tries to understand another. An unselfish being. Someone who doesn't see with their eyes but their heart," he replied playing with the bracelet around his wrist, "That truly is a beautiful thing." Celeste has been called beautiful all of her life. She is convinced that guys only want to go out with her because that's all they say they like about her. She's beautiful. To graduate Celeste needs thirty-five hours of community service.

Elle Grayson's guilty pleasure is reading cheesy romance novels. Always has been, always will be. Maybe that's why she's never had a boyfriend - no guy can live up to her expectations of the guys in romance novels. She doesn't think there is one guy that can prove to be even half as decent as guys in books. But when there's somebody set on doing exactly that, things just might start to change.
