***ONGOING!*** "Because you're you and I'm me, and we just don't fit." - "The Idea of You" by Robinne Lee Skylar O'Hara believes that some people do not go well together, especially when it comes to jocks and nerds. Despite him being on the diving team with his godbrother Jorge Fernandez and their friends and families being well-acquainted with each other, Skylar wants nothing to do with Jorge and plans to keep his priorities in line with the goals and expectations set by his grandparents: finish high school, get a scholarship, and keep the family name clear from scandal. And even though he has been dreaming forbidden fantasies, Skylar knows that he couldn't afford any distractions whatsoever. But Jorge has other plans in mind, as do his and Skylar's families as well as their social circles and even the school's matchmaking principal and vice-principal. Everyone knows that Skylar's been crushing on Jorge but has let his fears and grandparents' high expectations keep him from acting on it. So what happens when an end-of-summer house party leads to a drunken one-night stand? And what happens when a year-long senior project, family dinners, and other arranged events force Skylar to be by Jorge's side? Skylar knows that Jorge wants him badly. Jorge's not the type to give up, even if his godbrother wants him to forget him. With the passions and romantic desires building between them, will Skylar's bias and jaded personality keep him and Jorge apart for good? Or can Jorge finally shatter Skylar's castle walls and teach him what it means to be on the edge of seventeen?

Sean Gillan's passion lies in his education, his work values as a part-time cashier at the family-owned general store, and helping out his grandparents at a family farm while being a faithful member of his church. He has little time for any frivolous and is certain that all he needs is in his small town of Central Georgia, despite his citified parents and siblings citing that he needs to get a life and get some air in his lungs.

But once he learns that his grandfather sold the farm, home, and business and that he was to attend college up north instead of trade school in Adams Falls; Sean's fate is sealed. But then he's forced to join his adoptive cousins and uncles for some ice cream and meets two domineering young men fresh out of high school. And they...well, let's just say that they want to show Sean Gillain the TRUE meaning of having passion in his strict life.

This is a story that I am currently working on, and though it may be slow it is something I am proud of and 100% believe. I have yet to read a book and relate with the main characters. And everytime i turn the page, i don't understand. I don't understand a whole family, a lawyer mother. I don't understand a stay at home mom, a perfect sibling. I can't relate to the lil white girl with the perfect body. I hate that the 'slut' is always a cheerleader with big breasts and lots of makeup. I want a story full of diversity. Where makeup or lack of is not judged, where food is discussed, where body positivity and gay rights are brought up, where racial issues, immigration points and foreign exchanges are brought to light I was a story Full of relatable points, so here is my attempt, meet Lei; a girl named diversity.
