Little Sweet Dreamer
"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.Complete

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

"Stay away from him; you're mine and mine alone. I own you!" He pulls his zipper down and pulls it out. "Open," I listen looking down at it.

YOU, ME AND LOVE
One chance encounter in a cramped internet café was all it took to disrupt Jake's entire world. He didn't even know her name, yet he spent the next day unconsciously searching for the sad girl he hadn't found the words to comfort. When fate miraculously brings her back into his life, it isn't the romantic reunion he hoped for. It's a collision course with a past he tried to bury. She hadn't moved on from that night; she had just ended up in the arms of the one person Jake never wanted to see again: his ex-best friend.
