Natalite Henderson's an overacheiver. But there's a problem: she's supposed to be graduating soon, and she's failing Gym Class. One big fat 'F' might be the cross between whether or not her crucial little scholarship slips right through her pretty thin fingers.
So when Natalie's given a chance to pick up her grade before graduation, she doesn't think twice about saying yes. But there's a condition: Natalie has to complete the summer M.A Ritchardson High School half marathon.
And she has to place.
But did you forget that Natalie's failing Gym Class?
So tie your laces and fetch your water bottles because this is going to be one heck of a journey.
(Rated PG 13 for now, but I know you'll all ignore the warning anyways, so by all means go ahead)

This Girl
I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly. His fingers move from playing with the tips of my hair to my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
