"Why won't you notice me?!", Brie screamed in frustration on her pillow. Which became muffled because, well, you know. The pillow. "I exist, you stupid handsome frog!! Ughhhh!!!"

Brielle McKinley (or commonly known as Brie) is a smart, responsible, average-looking, & trustworthy girl. The teachers look up to her so much that they even pass some of their work to her. Yup! She's that trusted.
She is now sixteen and she's in her junior year of high school. For 6 whole years, she has had a crush on Stephen Houston. Handsome, averagely smart, & well, he's the school heartthrob. I've even heard rumors that he was once asked to be a model for a magazine!
He's not really a playboy but he's dated, talked to, & noticed almost ALL the girls in her school. Either tall or short. Fat or thin. That's right, guys. Almost all of 'em. But why is it only an 'ALMOST'?
You ask why?! Because he hasn't even talked to or hasn't even noticed & HASN'T EVEN DATED Brielle McKinley! That frustrates her so much! Is she really that invisible to him? Is there really a part in his life where she exists?! Oh, c'mon! She's tripped in front of him once! And he even helped her up! *sighs* Yes! That one time was when he noticed her. But that was when they were 12 YEARS OLD, for crying out loud!! He hasn't even talked nor looked at her for 4 years! For 4 *FLIPPING years!! ( *: To all young readers, FLIPPING is a substitute for a curse or bad word. I just care for you, people. ^-^ ) What kind of torture in love is this?!
Well! Will Stephen EVER notice Brielle? Or does Brie have to go to SERIOUS measures to get him to notice her? Or will she have to move on before her heart breaks into a million pieces? Exaggeration? Probably not.
All this, you'll find out IF you read 'Why Won't You Notice Me?!' ;D
