HR - #8 in NewAuthor #29 in Humor and #144 in teen-fiction. I stopped blind walking when the cold breeze hit my skin stroking the hair off my face. I looked around and realized that we were in terrace. He pulled me to the edge of the terrace. I stopped to look at the beautiful sight in front of me. The city lights looked really alluring with the night sky. A perfect contrast of life and death. I heard a thud sound and looked at him siting on the edge of the terrace with both legs hanging in the air. He patted the place next to him indicating me to take the seat. I hesitated, it was risky sitting on the edge. I have never done that. He raised his chin to look at me. "Trust me," He said and I found myself sitting beside him already. I hung my legs freely, it took me a moment to settle and when I did I gave a big smile. It felt good. ------------ Not everything about Gianna Vertes is normal.

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete![Kelly In Action [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/19665953-256-k971089.jpg)
