First-impression Stories

Emma Monolona is independent, speaks her mind, and doesn't care what anyone thinks or says about her. She's pretty, popular, and has never had a boyfriend. But it's not that no one has asked her out. It's because she's never had the guts to say the magical word: yes. Everything starts to change when Darrel Cole, a mysterious, outgoing, attractive teenage boy, transfers to her highschool and bumps into her. From here, Emma has the feeling that she's going to see Darrel often and may even have a "thing" for him. But when a new teacher by the name of Mr. Hutch takes the place of Emma's English teacher, she faces the obstacle of not falling for him.

Short stories about strangers and how first looks are less important than the second glance.

Meet Jason. When his parents got divorced, his mom turned to drugs to 'help' her problem. But all it did was make everything worse, and finally, Jason had enough. He went to live with his dad's friend's daughter, Liana, and her roomates, Rylee and Brooklyn. Yeah, confusing. Liana is a girly-girl, I guess you could say, or one of the 'populars.' Just to give you a warning, she's very chirpy and fairly dumb. Don't tell her I said that. And Rylee? Oh, man, she's a rebel. A damn good one too. One time, she even egged her own neighbor's house. Yeah I told you. She's a badass. Hey, listen. You hear that? You don't hear anything? Well, that's the sound of Brooklyn. Yeah, she's quiet. Too quiet. Everyone always says it, "Brooklyn, you so damn quiet I don't even know you there till you flip da page in yo book!" And there's one problem. Well maybe more, but this problem is the mother of all problems. All three girls are competing for Jason's heart.
