Meet Lyric Brooks- The girl with rocky past. The girl who never fits in completely. The nerd, the dork, the quiet kid that sits in the corner of the room. Ever since the event that turned her life upside down, she has refused to open up to anybody claiming that she'll just get hurt again. She swore to herself that she would never completely love anyone from that moment on, not even her own family or her boyfriend. But when she moves to a new town, her promise is put to the test as people surround her with love, joy, and a real home.
Meet John Wells- The head popular. The heartbreaker. The player. The one everyone wants. He's hot, obnoxious, rude, and unbelievably cocky. His irresistible charm attracts almost everyone in a 50 mile radius. He had never been rejected and hadn't failed to make a girl blush just by looking and smiling at them. Until the day he met her. He doesn't understand why he is so drawn to her. He hates her. Everything about her annoys him. Her personality, her guts, her smile, everything. She's a nobody, and he's the king of the school. Why is he so attracted to her? He can't get close to her. He can't let her in. He needs to stay away. He hurts everyone he loves. How can anyone ever love a monster like him?
Join them as they meet and as they go through their awkward everyday life filled with laughter, weirdness, and craziness.

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
