Alexis was heartbroken when August, her best friend of ten years, humiliated her in front of the whole school.
August leaves school the same year and comes back two years later. What will his reaction be? When he sees his best friend, whom he humiliated, unrecognizable? He attacked first. Now it's time for her counterattack.
"Hello, beautiful," He greets me. I stand there, completely shocked.
"I know I look handsome, but you don't have to be this shocked," He smirks.
He doesn't recognize me. Yeah, the 15-year-old me would not recognize the current me, either. I open my mouth to answer him but end up laughing.
"You don't recognize me, do you?" I question and start laughing again. I laugh to the point where my stomach starts hurting. The whole hallway is silent. This situation is hilarious.
"Good," I nod to myself with a smirk on my face. A look of recognition passes his face.
"Dove," He breathes. I shake my head.
"Dove? I don't know her. My name is Alexis," I snap and turn around to head to class.

My most impressive ranking so far
The cover does not belong to me. It was taken from Google.
Dakota is just like every other 17 year old high school senior.
Or that's what everyone thinks.
Everyone sees Dakota as this funny, sarcastic, and caring girl. What people don't see is how much she is truly suffering inside.
People don't know that the smile she always wears is completely fake. They don't know what's really going on at home. They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings.
She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on.
She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota.
And one certain bad boy can read her like an open book.
Will Dakota eventually let these three bad boys in? Or will she keep everything in until she finally reaches her breaking point?
