He gave me a smirk making me roll my eyes, i bet he's a player.
"I am actually" He winked as I looked at him, giving him a weird look. What is he a vampire or something. He chuckled out loud, "No, you're just speaking very loudly." I slapped my hand over my mouth and my eyes widened. What's with me and my big mouth.
"Where are you from?" He put down his boxes and looked around. "Britain." I answered, biting my lip. "Britain?" He looked at me but then just shrugged it off and continued looking around. Heck no, I'm from America. "Yes, I'm British." I just have to force an accent.
"Alright. Name?" I felt weird that he's asking me these questions. "Why is it that you want to know everything?" He gave me this 'duh' look and said "Because you're my new roommate?" Oh my god Delilah, what is wrong with you. I gave out this nervous laugh, "Yeah, of course you are."
"So? Are you going to tell me your name or should i just call you weird names instead?" He gave me a look and i replied, "Dessie- it's dessie." Wrong, that's just my fake name in this school. "Dessie, alright i'm Fane. I'm going out with my friends right now, want ice cream maybe?" I looked at him with wide eyes and nod furiously.
I, Delillah Matthew, known as Dessie Rain, was roommates with a cocky player and my life with him started with a lie. How wonderful. Yes you can hint the sarcasm there, full stop.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
