"You, uh, plan to go out like that?"
Furrowing my eyebrows, I cast my gaze downwards, and that's when I remembered I had changed into pajamas after my date. My face heated up - it was embarrassing to unintentionally let Trevor see my pajama set that was, unfortunately, adorned with little cartoon sharks.
"I..." I mumbled, my eyes still glued to the sharks swimming around the navy blue fabric, hoping that maybe, just maybe, one would swallow me whole right here and now.
I was tense, the atmosphere was awkward, but Trevor, being the smooth player that he was, chuckled, and the mere joyful sound tickled my ears and brought the smile back to my face.
"Go change," he said, nudging me to go back inside my house.
"Alright, I'll just be a second."

17-year-old smitten Morgan Darhk's world revolves around her best friend's brother, Archer Hastings. The only thing is, he doesn't know she exists - or at least that's what she tells herself and what HE tells HIMself. Morgan thinks she's the only one going through a limerence when it's FAR from the truth.
Meet Addison Hastings, Trevor Parks, Chase Humphrey, Hanna Abrams, Eric Carter, and Killian Adler, all fellow victims of the unrelenting limerence.
Swept up in a world of betrayals, drama, lies of omission, secrets, and most importantly, passion, these high schoolers go through the one thing everyone has experienced at least once in his or her life, as if a rite of passage: the unrequited love.
As Morgan tries to find out what - or more importantly, WHO - she wants in life, she discovers a deeper sense in all this BS...
...that love - or at least limerence - blinds us all to see what's really been in front of us this whole time.

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario.
"What?", Brandon asked completely startled.
I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour.
"Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie.
"Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth.
Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room.
"What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie.
But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him?
I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room.
I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore.
