We've laughed
Talked
Smiled
Hugged
To you, it was all normal
To me, it was heaven
I guess that's what it's like to have a huge crush on your best friend
I wish I could show these to you.
Someday
In the distant future
In the v e r y distant future, I'm sure
I'm such a coward

Brooks Forrest.
Kira can't think of anyone better to have a crush on.
They've both been friends since freshman year, giving her plenty of time to get to know him.
She's read all those books and seen those movies where the girl tells her best guy friend that she likes him and he doesn't speak to her ever again. She doesn't want to ruin her friendship with him.
Writing letters is her only option.
Her chance to let out her feelings.
Only he won't see them....
At least, she hopes he won't.

Really hope you enjoy!
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to.
"Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips.

In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal.
The thing that plagued her, surprisingly, is not her inability and refusal to speak, but her ability to go through anybody and everybody's dreams. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream.
But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.
