"Give me a year to show you what love is." He said, his eyes bright and amusement scribbled all over his tan face.

"Love is stupid. I already said." I flicked my black curls over my shoulder, pivoting on my heel to run off to my next class.

He put his arm on my shoulder, an unknown sensation shooting through my body. "Let's make a deal. By the end of the year, if you don't understand what love
is, my entire view on my life will be altered. And also you'll get the privilege of saying 'I told you so.' "

I raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow. "And if I do understand love?"

"You'll realize your life has been a lie. And you'll get to feel the beautiful sensation of love." He stated like it was a fact. "It's a win - win." He added.

The ends of my lips curved upwards into a smile. "Deal. After all, love is just a word."

"That is until the right person comes along." He shot back with a smirk.

For Macy Carter, understanding love doesn't come easily. Growing up as an orphan, she defines love as, well, stupid. Can one boy change her entire view on the word love?

"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?

Excerpt-- Take a breath, Lana. Everything will be okay. My stomach churned when I noticed his perfectly combed chestnut hair walking through the corridor by himself, just like any other day. I basically jumped out of the bush, nearly tripping in the process. With no time to fix my hair, I rushed in front of him causing him to stop. "Who are you?" He asked, staring deeply into my eyes, practically making me melt. "I'm Lana Hart, we're in the same grade," acting like a robot reciting the speech I had a plan in my head. "Could you please accept this letter?" I bowed my head down like an idiot, may I add waiting for him to take the letter. Soft panic aroused in my chest.
