Shelly had a somewhat normal life growing up. She had friends, the occasional fake ones, good grades that didn't go lower than a D nor higher than a C, and a mediocre loving family. Everything changes when a flu-like illness erupts in the middle of her junior year. 

A moving truck, a boy named Tanner, and a fence.

Three things that counteract what the illness has done to her life. Only thing is, she doesn't know if she can fancy her thoughts about him. With a fence that's between them and imagination at first, she talks to the mystery boy Tanner and finds herself not being the only one who's losing it in the midst of the illness.

*Short story*
*Dual viewpoint*

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

"WHAT THE HELL WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOUR SORRY! YOU JUST RUINED MY PHONE!" He said slapping me hard on the face. I winced in pain. "I-im sorry"I said fighting back the tears in my eyes.
