"Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision."
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving
Can you handle a situation where you fall inlove with a geek and then suddenly, a popular guy falls head over heels for you but you don't feel the same way? Then what if your own bestfriend falls inlove with the man you love? Will you let go of him for your bestfriend? Or fight for what you feel? Will you change your old ways for one person? Or will you let go of that person just for the reason that you don't want to change? Love has its ways of manipulating people. It's your decision wether you get manipulated or not.
Meet Catherine McMillan, a bully at her previous school who transferred to Wilson High, a private school that a student can only enter with excellent grades. She enters as a scholar and meets a geek boy named Dylan Wilson who is unexpectedly handsome and innocent. Meet Michael Collins, captain of the football team who starts to feel something "weird"(in his dictionary) for Catherine.
This is a story about a girl who has to weigh love between friendship, and boy between family.

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?"

His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh.

No Love
"Love is probably one of the many things I can't and probably won't ever be able to explain. But what I can tell you is that it's not supposed to hurt and it doesn't hurt. It's the people you love and let in that hurt you. If what you call love is hurting you, then it ain't it. Love is kind. It doesn't dishonor others and it keeps no record of wrongs." "Do you love me? Like really love. If I was to say that I gave up on what we've built so far, would you still fight for us? Be honest. Or better yet do you see this as a temporary thing or are you really aiming for a lifelong commitment with me?"Complete
