Sometimes I just have to close my eyes and look beyond the lake and smile, knowing that a part of him is still here.

Mariela has always been the good girl...the nerd, and million of other names. Everything changes when Zach comes into town. Bringing with him a tornado the town of Dershwood is not ready to cope with...But can Mariela go from miss straight A's to the girl she is becoming. Shes about to discover that sometimes breaking the rules for something you love is better than to follow them and lose a friend.

"I am not this kind of girl Zach. Look...this was fun but it's time I stop playing dress up." I looked into his eyes, his gaze swiftly becoming calculating.
He smiled, "But this is you Mariela. And I agree it's time you stop hiding her with the girl that people have forced you to be."

Cynical Souls

29 parts Complete

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
