Claudia, gorgeous blue eyed brunette is only just figuring out life in America, getting closer to her friends, finding out who she can really trust and can't. This is all however turned upside down, you could actually say her world is being turned upside down. Claudia's 'dad' who has only just decided to fix his life and make his kids' lives better; gets a new job - a new job, which I might mention is half way across the world for Claudia, in Australia. 

Claudia is devastated and completely convinced everything about Australia will be terrible. Well, I mean making new friends, new school and a whole load of other problems. Nothing is going her way, not even the wacky weather - until she meets her incredibly godly hot neighbor; Spencer Stevens. 

Claudia had just found the sunshine in the wild, not to mention cloudy skies of Australia.

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

45 parts Complete Mature
In a small New England town there lives a girl. A quirky, spirited McDonald’s cashier named Nikki Davenport. As a charismatic drama freak, she should’ve lived a happy, carefree life – just like any other teenager. But, plagued by money problems, Nikki’s been forced to enter a dark, sinister world in her attempts to support her family. The last thing she wants is more excitement. In that same town though, there is a boy. A beautiful, awful boy who lives and dies for excitement. As an A-list celebrity, seventeen year old Jacen Sage finds just about everything hopelessly boring. Things that he once found fun, have now lost their appeal. The only thing that interests him anymore is starting trouble. If he’s doing what he’s supposed to, he’s not doing what he wants. Terribly reckless, Jacen only feels alive when he’s about to die. No matter their identical zip codes, the two live in totally different worlds, and probably would’ve never met if not for Jacen’s infatuation with chicken nuggets. As soon as he walks into McDonalds that first day, Nikki knows there’s more to this boy than designer clothes and a pretty face. She’s drawn to him, but she denies it, no matter how many times he orders a happy meal from her. After all, the last thing she has time for is an obsession. But how can you deny fate when it won’t leave you the hell alone? After the teen idol sacrifices himself to save her, Nikki realizes there’s much more to Jacen than meets the eye. Quickly, the two are snatched up in a passionate, whirlwind romance. But Jacen’s dark, terrible past and Nikki’s ugly business aren’t the only things standing in the lovers' way. People have been disappearing left and right all over town, and the only connection between the missing girls is Jacen himself. Does the young star have a darker side than even Nikki realizes, or are the strange gifts he's been receiving a sign that he's just another victim?
