If you're sad, you're sad. But I just

The thing about shit hitting the fan and reality giving you a good fuck over is that more often than not, it makes you into the person you're meant to become.
Due to complications at home, nineteen year old Robin Reyes tags along when her best friend, Jordyn, moves away from their hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida to Orlando for college.
Left to her own devices, Robin has to work a full time job at a pizza place all the while saving up for college, living with four boys and a very headstrong Jordyn, dealing with Jordyn's crappy frat boyfriend, getting over her first true rejection, moving on past her trauma, and dealing with her sudden realization of her role as a real life Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
A bittersweet comedy about friendship, emotional turmoil and moving on from it, drug usage, skateboarding, sad soft boys, and overall shenanigans. An ode to the life of a struggling young bisexual within the 21st century.

The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.
