"W-... Why a-are you talking t-to me?" Asher asks, his voice hardly audible but still there.
I grin, "I want to get to know you. You're interesting. You know? We're kind of opposites and opposites attract! I mean, not in that way, I mean, uh, k-kind of in that way...? But, uh, um, crap..."

Summer Woods is a cheerful teenage girl who is known for her wide grin. She's very curious and it sometimes gets her in trouble. She loves to talk and will do so for hours. She's a happy person.
Her brother, Brendan Woods, is very protective of her. He'll do anything to protect her and keep her out of trouble. In order the do that, he moved them out to a youth's home out in the wet lands. Summer's not mad about this, though, she'd take anywhere else from where they were.
Asher Shepherd is quiet, to say the least. He hardly talks and keeps to himself, steering clear of attention. Then again, why would he want attention? He knows it would only ever be because what he did wrong. Well, he thinks that.
Summer will change that.

The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.
