Most girls would be jealous of Calliope Draycott. She seemingly has it all. The friends, the money, the boyfriend, and in a few years, if all goes to plan, she'll have the job too. So why doesn't she feel happy? It's after a disastrous family dinner where she gets some unexpected news that causes her perfect life to begin to crumble around her, and she finds herself able to breathe for the first time. This breath of fresh air has absolutely nothing to do with the kind stranger that offers to buy her a coffee when she's standing outside a fancy restaurant looking like she's stuck between laughing or crying. 

Theodore Donahue doesn't have time for a relationship, so when he sees a distressed girl and offers to get her a coffee to calm her down and offer an ear, it's simply his good deed for the day. Hell, he's spending money on this, the week. What he doesn't expect is the girl to stay in his mind, and he certainly didn't expect her to show up in his house one day. Especially when he has more important things - like helping to keep a roof over his family's head - to think about.

After their chance encounters, they decide that they have no choice but to come to terms with their growing friendship, but when that friendship shows the potential of becoming more, Calliope is forced to make a decision. Should she risk it all or stay with the safe option?

This is a dual point of view story.

''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. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right? Not always, especially if you have to keep the fact that you can barely afford food a secret at all costs. And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

16 parts Complete Mature
Calliope's ex-boyfriend, her high school sweetheart, crash-landed back into her life like a rom-com sequel she never ordered, ready to rewrite the script of her existence once again. *** "You never forget your first love." Calliope Bennett absolutely hates the old cliché because she would love nothing more than to forget about her first love breaking her heart and shattering her world. Chase Harrison, her high school sweetheart, once vowed a lifetime of bliss and eternal love. However, those promises shattered when Chase and his family vanished from the sleepy town, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions. Even Chase's closest friends were clueless, for they had deemed them the "couple most likely to have the cutest babies," with no inkling of what tore them apart. With her dad as the MVP of support and her ride-or-die besties in her corner, she hit the reset button on life, leaving Chase's broken promises in the bin of forgotten memories. Cal reluctantly agrees to the attend her high school class reunion under the impression Chase wouldn't return for such a trivial event. But the moment she catches a pair of familiar blue eyes on her, the memories and feelings she tucked away immediately flood her mind. As Chase begs for her forgiveness and time to explain, Calliope desperately tries to ignore the way her heart and her body still ache for him. The more time they spend together, trying to mend the pain, the walls around her heart begin to crumble. While her mind reminds her of the hurt and suffering he caused, Cal wonders if Chase is not only her first love but also her only love?
