Mr. I Don't Smile

Ciera Knowles is an average seventeen year old girl. And she seems to hide her pain well. Her sister is only older than her by a few months, yet, she seems to be the favorite of everyone. Ciera's family doesn't support her in anything and favor her sister Clara, over her.

No one sees her.

But then one fateful day, she finds out an exchange student is moving in with the rest of her family. And despite his arrogance, his lack of smiling, and not wanting to share anything with anyone, Ciera finds herself wrapped up in him.

Because he's the only one who truly sees her.

EXCERPT:

"Yeah. You do sound stupid, because I do smile."

"No, you don't."

His intriguing blue eyes locked onto mine, holding me hostage. His gaze was so intense I wanted to look away. Or not. I wasn't sure anymore. "I smile at you, isn't that enough?"
