Growing up, Brooklyn's mother taught her to never let a boy be her main focus--let alone control her mind or decisions . There is a scholarship to the best dance school in the country with "Brooklyn Lenae Carter" written all over it. Living up to her mother's expectations, Brooklyn risks losing one of the two things that make her happiest while keeping that thing results in losing the other.
The Books vs. The Boy

"Distractions are failures in disguise." I continued to scan the page as I tapped my pen against my teeth.

"Sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed." He slammed my book shut causing me to glare up at him.

"You have officially lost your damn mind."

"I was hoping you could help me find it."

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."

Dallas Donovan's parents divorced when he was six. His little sister, Tessa, went with their mom, while he stayed with his dad. It wasn't the usual messy, bitter split - quite the opposite. Both parents love their kids and co-parent peacefully. But no matter how much love remains, they can never be the family they once were. And that truth gnaws at Dallas more than he'll ever admit. He hates math with a burning passion but surprisingly loves biology - not that anyone expects the basketball star to enjoy dissecting frogs and memorizing cell structures. Then there's Kiera Davenport. The new girl. She's a walking contradiction - quiet but bold, cold but captivating. She's not a fan of any subject but somehow excels in all of them. On the field, she's Ravenwood High's star football player. Off the field, she posts dance challenges on Instagram, earning thousands of followers - and making boys practically drool. Not that she cares. Their sweet, overly optimistic biology teacher decides to play matchmaker, pairing students to help them "bond." Dallas and Kiera end up stuck together - no surprise, considering the teacher's obvious (and painfully unsubtle) attempts to ship them. The real question is: what does fate has in-store for them? Some stories are written by choice. Others - the unforgettable ones - are written by fate. --- "You're different," I muttered before I could stop myself. She blinked. "What?" I hesitated. "I mean... compared to school. You're-" I gestured vaguely at her oversized T-shirt, the ridiculous F.R.I.E.N.D.S. lyrics on it, her messy bun, the way she just-was. "Different." Something flickered in her gaze, but she just shrugged. "That's what happens when people only see what they want to see," she said simply, turning back to the stove. I didn't have a response for that. .................................... (Editing & Republishing)
