The Hard Crush 1 (Feelings For You)

Jericho Daniels, sweet and charming as he is, continuously steals the attention of people around him without even trying. With his good looks that naturally attract girls, it was no surprise that he had them swooning with only his presence around. Everyone loves and admire him. Despite the little drama unfolding at his home, he's got his best friends to bring life back to him...well that was until the new girl showed up.

Winifred can't believe she's living in a mansion owned by her mother's new lover. Now she's got a new family to deal with. Not the kind of life she imagined for herself seeing as she dislikes her stepbrother and stepdad. She's not yet over her father's death and isn't ready to start over. Everything seems to be devastating with each passing day generating it's own drama with the new family and the school she's attending feeds her with nothing but trouble, adding to her suffering. Let's not forget the boy from the mansion across the street who happens to be everywhere in her head making her simultaneously question and embrace her feelings for him.

New school, new family, new life ,new everything.

Can she cope with all these?

Jerry suddenly pulled his mouth away and took his hands off her.

"Damn, stop." He backed away, breathing hard. "No, we can't do this."

Winifred shuddered, the ache of need nearly tearing her heart into pieces. Tears sprung to her eyes as her knees gave out and she slumped down on the armchair by the side.

She just got rejected.

Never in her life did she see this day coming.

"Get out," she said.

"I'm sorry?"

"Don't be, just get out."

And he did, but not after hesitating and taking a pitiful and regretful look at her.
