Los Angeles, California; Beaches, sun, palm trees. Something California's mother had loved so much she named her daughter after the state.
California Andela. A social butterfly that had been destroyed by a tragedy no one should have to experience.
Ethan Dolan. Football Player, good looking, the golden boy I guess you could say. Cold and with his rough exterior, shows no emotion.
Put these two together and you got fights, Heart to hearts, jealousy, frustration, and who even knows what else.
Something cliche, right out of a fairy tale, if it weren't for the mysterious notes labeled 'dear no one in particular' California happens to find in her locker.
Just remember, Smiles aren't always real, but neither are the hard fronts people put up to avoid emotion.

"I broke my only rule. And that is exactly the problem. I fell in love with her when I swore to myself I wouldn't. I fell in love with everything about her. Her lips, her hair, how she knows all the words to every song on the radio, The way her eyes light up when I call her beauty. And I don't think I can survive if she leaves,"
" I told myself from the beginning, I wouldn't give up on him. And that's the problem. I fell in love with him and when he's not there to catch me from crashing, I don't think I'll be able to get up and walk away with out missing a piece of me,"
The problem was, was that they fell in love with each other when the didn't want to.
"The tears don't stop coming, but I can't feel them come out anymore. I want to run, to leave this place, to get away from here, as far away as possible, but then I hear a soft 'Excuse me.' And freeze. I quickly wipe away my tears, trying to act like I hadn't been bawling for the past 30 minutes, put the best smile I can on my face, and look up."
"And with that, I start to walk over to Bench Girl. I get there a whole lot faster than I originally thought and almost want to turn around, but now I'm close enough to hear her. And it breaks me even further. It's like she's trying to catch her breath in between each sob, but it's not working so she can barely breath each time a sob escapes. I take a deep breath and as polite, calm, and not-trying to scare her, give a gentle 'Excuse me.'"
