'The Rules of Staring', I write messily across the cover of the notebook. I open the cover (probably with too much force) and begin with the pencil:

Rule #1: DON'T GET CAUGHT.

---

Dorian Thomas and Graham Anderson were best friends for the longest time.

Key word: were.

When Graham stops communication with Dorian halfway through ninth grade, her heart breaks.

She makes a promise to herself: No more Graham. Ever.

That promise doesn't last very long.

When Graham catches Dorian staring at him in class, she is mortified. She is even more mortified when Graham smirks and writes her a note:

'Jeez, Ria, stop staring. It's creepy.'

As Dorian struggles to keep her promise to herself, she can't help but wonder: 'How the hell did Graham Anderson manage to wiggle his way back into my life?'

Follow Graham and Dorian through falling in love, heartbreak, and adventures.

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.
