Lawson, an average Highschool male. 15 years old, slightly taller than average, short, dark brown, thin hair that was shaved at the sides and a little longer at the top. Lawson has a misty blue colour to his eyes and a small gap in between his two top teeth. This gave him the nickname 'Toothless'. He liked to play sports and run around, he was very competitive and would often get into trouble when he hung out with his mates. Lawson gets average grades for his level and tends to get off task, resulting in many detentions.
Nathan, also an average Highschool male. 16 years old, average height, he has short brown thick hair that sat on his head almost neatly, blue eyes and thick red and black glasses that covered them. On one day, he wore a pink shirt which resulted in his nickname 'Pink'. He hung out with the same group of kids that Lawson did, he liked sport as much, if not more, as Lawson and would always come to school either muddy, with grass stains, and sometimes bruising on his legs. His greats were below average, not that he cared. He got more and more detentions as the year went on.
These boys were always joking around and messing about with their friends, but they start to notice that they look at one another more often in class when the other isn't paying attention. They start to smile more at eachother, they start spending more time with eachother outside of school. Nathan and Lawson start to feel something for eachother. Their mates started to tease them. But they teased Lawson more, knowing he would take the hits more personally. they teased him so bad to the point where he ran out of class in tears, Nathan was the first and only one to bolt up and rush to Lawson's side
How will they confess now that it's obvious?
Mira finds herself stuck in the city of love with Jake, the playboy athlete she can't stand. What she doesn't expect is for major sparks to fly on their 24-hour adventure. But can this newly-found love last beyond the magic of Paris?

*****
On the last day of their class's college trip to Paris, Mira and Jake get tangled up in a debacle that causes them to miss their flight home to New York. Which means they're stuck in Paris until the next available flight that's 24 hours away! Mira is witty and a lover of art history and good cheese. Jake, on the other hand, is your All-American frat boy with a killer smile. Translation: they can't stand each other.
As they visit places they could never have imagined, Mira and Jake go from mortal enemies to star-crossed lovers with sizzling chemistry. But can their spark last without Paris' cheese and charm to keep it going?
