Let's face it, we all love a little drama.
And Liz Strenton is no exception as she claws her way up the ranks of New York City's most prestigious performing arts high school. But on the brink of the culmination of all her ambitions, she encounters a guy who makes her question everything. He shows her another side of her city and herself, and she is forced to abandon her former attention seeking ways, sensing that she is worthy of a deeper truth. Her angst eventually guides her to the revelation that only art is eternal. Only art is sacred. But can she have it all - the guy, the drama queen throne, her dreams? Or will she end up with nothing but a bunch of overplayed and exhausting drama?

Love At First Sight (COMPLETED)( A Student/Teacher Romance )
I stared at him for a moment and he did the same, both of us daring the other to say one more smart remark. "Don't you have a class to teach?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He smirked "Your right Ms Jones, and with that I'm leaving. Try not to day dream about me during Mr Richards's lesson" he said cockily making the class laugh again. I gave him a fake smile "Same for you. It wouldn't be very apealing if you got a hard on during your next lesson" I scoffed. The class erupted into laughter while Mr Anderson stared at me wide eyed and shocked. Oh I think I hit a button.
