(5 Seconds of Summer lyric-inspired story) 17 year old Isabella Flora hated being called "Bella Donna" at school. Literally translated to "Beautiful Lady", Isabella hated what her nickname meant. Her mother was born in Florence, but she fell in love with Isabella's dad, a famous author of cheesy romance novels turned films, and moved to America. Unfortunately, Isabella's dad's famous lifestyle didn't seem to be doing her any favors, as she still had to live in Hoffman Estates, one of the dreaded Chicago suburbs. At school she was expected to always be at her best; star student and captain of the girls swim team. With Ivy League schools reading her applications and swim meets consuming her life; Isabella didn't have time for trouble. Nicholas "Nick" Jacotey was the 17 year old son of a Greek "goddess" who had moved to Paris and fallen in love with his "charming" businessman father. Nick's mother, similar to Isabella's dad, was the writer of romance novels. His newly divorced mother decided to move them to middle of nowhere, USA, to start over and live close to her best friend, who happened to be Isabella's mom. Although English wasn't his first language, Nick had managed to gain a reputation before he even entered Jackson High. Isabella was the sun, bright and cheerful; Nick was the moon, dark and mysterious. But like the ying yan sign, opposites can attract to create a perfect balance, and maybe sometimes bad guys are good guys that haven't been caught.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.
