Always and Forever

I was never really the girl who was in the spotlight. I was more of the girl who helped her friends get in the spotlight. When he actually noticed me, I was surprised. Not that I didn't have popular friends in high places, but I was practically invisible. Liam was the top guy of the school. He had girls talking about him, boys wanting to be him, and teachers falling to their knees for him. Liam was rich beyond belief and I was down there with the middle-class citizens.

Then there was David. Who knew our friendship was that important to him. I definitely didn't know that he appriciated me as a friend. David wasn't a self-obsessed jock, but he did like his popularity very much. Being seen with me wasn't exactly a booster.

The three of us, we had fun together. And now I have to pick: Always or Forever?

****

Malina Zerbino: quiet, unpopular, loner, sad. Her family ignores her, friends use her, and all she wants in life is to see the world. She wants to get out of her little town as soon as possible and run away from all her worries.

David Daniels: loud, popular, friendly, happy. He is everything at school, his mom loves him and all he wants in life is to be happy. David hates change and will do anything to keep it the same. He is unlikely friends with Malina while keeping his Popular Football status.

Liam Glass: Top of the school, best friends with David, and ignores Malina. All Liam wants out of life is to be sucessful like his parents. Liam keeps his grades in top shape, keeps his body in top shape, and keeps the popularity flowing his way.

These two boys are just the start of Malina's new love life. If only she knew a drive was the only thing keeping her away from her two knights in shinning armor.
