Hi,
I don't think we've met but based on your choice of literature I think we would make great friends :)

Cupcake Boy
"You. Have. A. Crush?" one of my best friends looked at me like I was some kind of an alien from outer space. The shock on her face made me regret telling this to her. I then gave her a sheepish smile but honestly, I despised that look on her face or on anybody's face. Hey! I'm a person too. Am I not allowed to have a crush?! "Oh shut up and let her finish!" I silently thanked my other best friend seated next to me. "What?! I thought she didn't have a heart and now look!" Willow replied blatantly. I gave her a look. "Soooo, what's his name?" She leaned forward. I could feel my cheeks heating up as I played with my fingers. "Okay come closer. I'm only going to whisper his name once." With that, the four of us leaned in together and once we did, I whispered his name as softly as possible. Once we pulled back, there was only silence in our group. I quickly looked down to avoid all the stares. Seconds later, Noah was the first to speak. "Alright. I mean I don't know him so I can't judge. He seems decent," he shrugged and smiled at me. "Noah's right. He's cute and he's got manners." Cora added. I sighed and then we all turned to Willow. She was too quiet. Ooops spoke to soon. "WHY HIM?! Of all people?!"Complete
I Don't Like The World, I Only Like You
The night before we obtained our marriage certificate, I asked him, "When did you start to develop feelings for me?" He answered, "I don't remember." "But, why me?" "Why not you?" "I'm very petty, and I get jealous very easily." "So am I." "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you." "So am I." "I haven't really dated, so I don't know what love is." "I don't know either." He held my hand gently, "But I know this. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I feel that my future is filled with hope." At 16, we used the same class desk, with less than 10cm between our arms. My peripheral vision was full of him. At 26, I woke up in the morning, and saw the sunlight softly shining on his face. I thought, this is how I want to grow old - gradually, together, with him. I guess this must be love. ___________________________________________________ Associated Names 我不喜欢這世界，我只喜欢你 Original Publisher 湖南少年儿童出版社Complete

When Perfect Meets Crazy
"I would scream but I have a headache from crying my eyes out in the bathroom. You have twenty seconds to explain why you broke into my house before I expose you to the wrath of my mother," I divulged, taking a seat at my dresser. "And trust me, she's scarier than any police out there." "You find a complete stranger you know is trained to take down men twice your size in your bed and that's the reaction you're going with?" he asked. My eyes met his through the mirror of the dresser. "Twelve seconds." • • • If Avyanna was asked to describe herself in two words, she'd laugh and say she only needed one; perfect. She was the perfect child with no bad records whatsoever until Ian followed her home from an illegal fighting ring, climbed in her window and insinuated himself into her life. Icing on the cake, he just so happened to be an actual criminal. Oh, and did she mention her dad was a cop? Needless to say, she was going to kill Olly for making her go to the fighting ring to begin with.Complete
A Mates Choice
Book 1: "Allison where did you get that from the dollar store" the queen whore of the school looked at me with so much hate. There was so much adrenaline that was flowing throw me I simply said " actually no your mom gave them to me". " Look b*tch I don't now who you think your dealing with." She said grabbing my collar. " let go of me" I said through clenched teeth. "Yeah or what " she said back making her grip tighter. Making my eyes shift from there usual hazel brown to black as night put my hands on her wrist burning her, with that I shoved her into the other wall with one hand making her crack the wall. ( oh I sure hope the wall is okay) : note my sarcasm: Looking around I saw people's eyes wide and mouths gape open. " hey...ummm I think you should close you mouth before you catch flies or something" I said sarcastically almost jogging out the school. As soon as I stepped foot out the school doors my trouble some life didn't end there I caught sight of the person I hated with a passion. Before that person could say anything I took off towards the woods. Not to be reminded that the woods here were a dangerous place to be at night. And night was falling unusually fast.Complete

My home
Out the window, I see her - Hayden Musk, striding across the quad like she owns it. Her rugby bag slung over her shoulder, hair tied up in a way that looks messy but perfect. She laughs at something her friend says, tipping her head back so the sun hits her cheekbones. For a second, my heartbeat trips over itself. Hayden's the kind of person who makes you wish you were brave. I've only ever spoken to her once - last year in the library, when she asked if the seat next to me was free. I remember how she smiled, how she smelled like grass and shampoo. I remember I couldn't speak properly for hours afterwards. Lucy follows my gaze, raises an eyebrow. "You know her?" I drop my eyes fast. "No. Not really." "Right." Lucy flips her hair over her shoulder. "She's trouble anyway." I almost laugh. I don't think Hayden Musk could be trouble for me if she tried. I'm invisible. And maybe that's safer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part of me is always searching - the next game, the next girl, the next spark that might stick. Then I see her. Felicity Marianne - all soft edges and hidden eyes, hugging her books like they're the only thing keeping her upright. She's too pretty for this place. She looks like a secret you'd promise to keep forever. Alex elbows me mid-sentence. "Hey, Musk - you listening?" I grin, unapologetic. "Sorry. Distracted." "By who?" She follows my gaze, laughs under her breath. "Marianne? She's a ghost, mate." "Maybe I like ghosts," I say. It's a joke but it isn't. I've been surrounded by loud, bright people my whole life. Maybe I want quiet for once. Something soft. Something real. Alex makes a face. "She's way out of your league." I raise an eyebrow. "Think so?" She laughs. "I know so. Come on, Captain. First period. Let's go pretend we care."Complete
