She has the ability to taste the lies people tell. The worse the lie. The worse the taste.
The taste would last for days on end. No matter what she tried, she could not get the taste out of her mouth.
No one knows about her ability, not even her best friend, Hayden Smith. Only her parents know.
One day, while she is comforting Hayden after his first break up. The worse taste she had ever tasted entered her mouth.
The lie wasn't from her, but from Hayden.
"After all, I'm only human."
Ever since she heard those words, she vowed she would figure out the truth.
She has to figure out the truth without Hayden knowing about her ability though.

Not His
Haley Parker wanted nothing to do with guys - at least none of the guys her parents were always trying to set her up with. She was tired of the whole charade - the countless schemes, moving all the time, saying goodbye to friends and life as she and her brother Dustin knew it - everything. It's no wonder she's not expecting much as she's moving yet again to a new place in Boston. However, turning 18 and independent in under a year, Haley's parents are running out of time to get her engaged (more like betrothed) to a guy of their approval. Not ready to give up yet, they hatch a plan to get her married to the seemingly perfect James Kacey who lives a few houses down. Meanwhile, Haley is only making enemies for her hit list at her new high school - Griffin Johnson, typical arrogant bad boy who wanted the whole school to love him, easily scoring #1 on that list. But as much as these two claimed to hate each other, would they be able to put aside their differences and actually become friends? More importantly, will Griffin be able to save Haley from her most unwilling betrothal to James? A short story. [Editing. I eventually plan to publish a more fleshed out version of this story, along with fixing a few mistakes I made.]Complete
