This is absolutely crazy - this is beyond my own comfort zone.
"You've got this ok? I drove all the way here just for you," He sent me a pointed look, "Don't make me push you."
I swallowed the lump in my throat and took in a big puff of air, "We should just go. I was supposed to meet Connor after school, and if he finds out I ditched him for you, he'd flip."
The stubborn boy in front of me rolled his eyes. He shook his head, probably fed up with waiting and said, "Forget about your stupid boyfriend, and jump off the damn cliff."

When the name Jacob Reynolds is said outloud, mixed emotions come to mind. His older brother left a legacy at Hartwell High, leaving him to continue on the popular reputation of the Reynolds name. Some girls want him by their side, others are too afraid to even speak to him, due to the ridiculous conspiracy theories revolving around him and his two other friends.
You could say that Jacob Reynolds followed in the footsteps of his brother - being the talk of the school, one of the most known kids at Hartwell, having the ladies fall to his feet. But when it came to the subject of actually having a lady - one girl comes to his mind that he just can't have.
When the name Lennox Scott is said outloud, she's known for one thing - being the girlfriend of the captain of the soccer team. That's really all she's known for, aside from probably being the most sweetest yet quietest girl in her class. Everyone would say that she lives the perfect life - no one had the heart to hate her and she had no reason to complain about anything.
But behind closed doors, she has every right to complain about how her life is - although no one really knows that, due to the fact that she's so good at covering things up.
"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same." - Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.
