«Smiling doesn't always mean you're happy. Sometimes, it simply means that you are a strong person.» When Valentino Omerald entered his new school two years ago, it was everything he thought it was going to be --the annoying jocks trying to get the under-dressed cheerleaders, the nerds playing chess in the corner, the occasional hallway surfers, and most importantly, the girls trying to get his attention. Two years later --his senior year, and not much has changed, except for him, and well his attitude, and this time, not much girls try to get his attention, expect for one brunette beauty trying to get him to do something he's not fond of doing. Smiling. Especially when she has a tendency of taking pictures, everywhere she goes. [Literally she has a camera around her neck, everywhere she goes,] ❝There is a different between a smile and a scowl, a smile will always look better,❞ •↭• //Has begun xD\\

"In English class, Ms. Rosemary smiled at me with unmistakable pity. With that look that makes a person's eyes shine and their lips tilt into a smile that isn't quite a smile: quiet, distant, remorseful. She thought I didn't notice how she looked at me every time we discussed a character's death in Literacy class. She assumed that suddenly, I was that student who she had to take into her wing. And it wasn't just her, it was everyone from the students to janitors. Once your mother dies, you no longer stay the bad-ass athlete with an astounding GPA. You become that kid. You know, that kid. The kid with the rain cloud that floats over his head. The kid with the dead mother. That kid. And it doesn't matter who you were before it happened, you just become that kid. Here's the catch: despite all of this, no one utters a syllable about it. The smile at you with that unmistakable pity, with that look that makes a person's eyes shine and their lips tilt into a smile that isn't quite a smile: quiet, distant, remorseful. They assume you don't notice. They assume you're too buried in your grief. But you're not and it still hurts to constantly be reminded. "
