"Wow! You are just like Margo Roth Speigelman!" I exclaim. She acts fictional but is real.

"Margo Roth who?" She asked in confusion. I facepalmed. 

"Don't tell me you haven't read 'Paper Towns'." She shook her head. Oh my God! Who is this girl? "Why? John Green is a great writer."

"For you. It must be. But for English Literature-almost-degree-holders, Shakespeare is our God!" She looked up at the sky.

-----------------

I am Matt. Actually Matthew Gary Scott. I know that's an absurd and long name. Blame my parents! Please, because of them I have been shut in four walls of luxury.

One day, I was walking school from home and I heard a storyteller. Her voice came out with confidence. Her stories didn't make sense, but she was able to make an audience.

Her history is boring and interesting like the Egyptian civilization. Our chemistry is of friendship with elements of love and negative charge of class distinction. Physics and maths is not her piece of cake but literature is a part of her.

Come with me and experience life through the eyes of a socially confident yet financially wrecked girl. Experience the learning struggles of upper and lower class manners. Experience the success of passion and art. And the failure in the exam of life.

Life written like never before. Cry, laugh, be angry for once and be thankful for every moment. 

For she believed in philosophy and said, "Thankfulness does not come naturally. Be thankful for each moment. Good or bad. For who knows that a moment will soon become a memory buried beneath the Earth. We are writers of our own lives so in the end always believe that if we are written then we are different."

And her name was a mystery itself. But I always knew it. Her name was Isla Juliet Roberts. Long and bookishly appropriate.

~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters. Okay, so I don't know if you want to read it yet but it would mean the world to me if you could give it a shot.

"One body: A death, a suicide, and now a murder. Lunacy is settling over, leaving its fingerprints on them, while breathing down their necks. The warm kiss of air is mistaken for nothing but a midnight breeze, and finger prints not much more than dirt. "Are you worthy enough, huh? Do you think I'm such a fool? You'll die there. Ashton Kahn. Mark my words. You are going to die and your family is going to live a dead life. You know what grief is? Of course, why would YOU know? You haven't been miserable for once in your life, have you? You have always been the super-star, haven't you? Of course you'll die. You deserve nothing but a deadly, rotten grave. You are such a chick, aren't you? Huh. I hate you Ashton Kahn. You are so mean. You think wealth is the world. You think beauty is the world. Don't you find having the best muscles, having the best grades, having the perfect eyes, having the perfect clothes, shoes-" Her words were so powerful, her expression meaner. She meant it. And how right she was. There I was, living a beautiful life. Of course I had no idea what misery is. I'd never been miserable for a second. Hah. She was giving me a lesson. The feeling was so intense, her words ruling my brain, empowering my veins. I was so useless. Have I ever cried? Have I ever thought why people say Life is just a Lie? Did I ever care why was the guy behind the coffee shop shutters crying? Did I ever gave it a second thought what did that guy felt when I called him Bozo? Or what was going on with that girl I heard of whose parents died a day ago? Of course, what was I capable of feeling? And there I had always thought I was the perfect me. The boy who could do anything. The boy who ruled. The boy who lived. Life is just a Lie. And for the first time in ever, I felt it to be so, so real. The reality of this was ever-awakening, it's power would have killed a soul. Life is just a Lie.

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance

She immediately has to do an internship at one of the farms in her new street. She doesn't like animals at all. Which is weird, right? Who doesn't love animals? Or a very sexy farmer? Is all this enough to pull her out of the dark... ? "Hey, are you okay?" I softly ask her. "DO I LOOK ALRIGHT?!" she said angry to me. Wow, didn't see that coming. She looked constantly at the cows behind me and was focused on their every move. I noticed the circles around her eyes, covered up with lots of make up. I don't want to be rude or something, but she looks quite like a mess, although she was wearing these ordinary clothes. I felt sorry for her. It looks like she didn't sleep quite well. What would have happened to her? I hope it wasn't something too bad... "well ehm, I'm sorry for asking..." I looked at her, not knowing what to say. "Are you coming with me, then can I show you around." I asked her, but she stubbornly answered. "NO WAY I'm going through this!!" And I was right, she is afraid. "They don't do anything to you swe-, oh wait what is your name? I forgot to ask you yesterday." I softly said to her. "I'M (Y/N), and how am I sure you aren't lying to me?!" I seriously have to work on this. I know somewhere deep inside, there is actually a good heart in this girl, I just feel it. But How will I find it?

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop. There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair. As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp. The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside. 'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone. It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual. I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive. The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid. He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright. He's hurt. Badly. The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction. All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face. A deadly grin appears on his wicked face. "Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear. "And you brought the girl" * Crescent Bay Dawson was once popular but now she lives in the shadow of her twin brother. The only person who notices her is the cocky, egotistic, Star Quarterback of the school; Elliott Grayson.
