"Ow." I whisper as my head bumps into what feels like someone's chest, except it's extremely hard. I hold my coffee steadily, thanking God, I hadn't spilled it.
"Watch yourself, bitch." Someone says out loud, and I try to remain calm. Not sure whom it came from, but before I knew it I had spilled my precious coffee on this person in front of me. It's him... I quickly regret what I'd done but I don't show it. I slowly look up from his drained shirt, upto his face and into his eyes as they show me anger and fury. He remained calm, or tried to. I stood firm, not showing any emotions.
"Oh, my God... it's Chris Henson." Aliyah whispers while I don't give a damn.

Chris Henson is a 17-year old, Redbull-drinking, above average guy. He can be immature when he wants to but he's a big tease. He is not a patient guy, is mostly talkative and is happy with being a handsome, arrogant jerk. He has the whole school under control, parents who don't care and a little sister he loves, but now he is going to have Emma, not in the lovable way, but he's going to have her under his control.
But, Emma is not weak. Little do they both know is that their feelings are the ones that are going to control them, not themselves.

Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
