From high school sweethearts to cheaters then to the busy star athlete, don't forget about the pathological liars, us girls don't see ourselves finding love. We are looking for a guy who meet our basic standards and needs, but they continue to disappoint. Men after men followed with tears after tears. You could call these "love" stories tragic (if you are going to be dramatic) but I like to call them lessons. Probably some of the most painful lessons a woman can experience in her younger years, laid out in a book for other women. Let me save you the hurtful experiences but leave you with hope that there is a man out there for you.

He smirked "Your right Ms Jones, and with that I'm leaving. Try not to day dream about me during Mr Richards's lesson" he said cockily making the class laugh again. I gave him a fake smile "Same for you. It wouldn't be very apealing if you got a hard on during your next lesson" I scoffed.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do.
