Holding Your Stare

Marlie Perez is you're slightly under-average girl, and by under-average i mean sanely. With her rich auburn hair she flocks the confidence not most have. It's not exactly easy depending on everyone else outside of school when there isn't really anyone else out there.

There is one boy though that Marlie treasures close to her heart dearly. Every year comes and goes along with Christmas, Easter and other parties. But it's one birthday that seems to make the world against her.

Falling in love is easy but staying in love is the hard part, especially when you're not the one falling out.
