Nothing ever happens to Alice. Her life is as unextraordinary as they come, much like her, in general. Just a quiet girl in the corner. Sometimes sarcastic, sometimes severely depressed. Nothing devastating ever happens to her, but nothing extraordinary does, either. She doesn't actually have much to live for, but she sticks around.
She's never moved in the 17 years she's lived in Kennedy, Texas, so she's come to the conclusion that nothing can surprise her about her picture-perfect rich-kid city. Guys are jerks, and girls don't give a crap about other girls; in other words, humanity is shit. When she meets someone who seems to defy the norm, will she gain a new perspective? Or will she come to discover that no matter what, people will always let you down?
Belle. Jesse. Nick.
When friends turn to strangers, and dormant hearts spark to life, what will be left to believe in?
Love? A naive, withering ideal. To rely on others is to be disappointed, so why even bother?

The One And Only Outsider
If I had to choose one word to describe my life in a nutshell, I'd choose...Hell. My dad was arrested for buying and selling drugs, my mom stopped caring for and about me when he was taken away. The only person who cares about my wellbeing is my grandmother. And she lives in a nursing home. Plus I'm bullied at school. EVERYDAY. Sounds a lot like hell if you ask me. It's because of the way I dress, the way I act, the type of music I listen to. You name it, they judge me on it. I don't really care what people think or say about me. I just want to be left alone. Garnet is a very quiet and mysterious girl. She doesn't have any friends, so she spends most of her time at the nursing home with her grandmother. She's very grateful for the love her grandmother gives her, but she's starting to want something more. A different kind of love. She never thought that anyone could give her that kind of love. At least not until she met Micah. Micah really likes Garnet, but she just doesn't believe it. Micah and Garnet become really good friends. Until feelings are revealed. In this book, you'll see what life is like for Garnet as...THE ONE AND ONLY OUTSIDER. ~*[COMPLETED]*~ X-WARNING-X This story is down right crappy. So, I apologize in advantage for how bad and cringe worthy this story is. I read back through it once I completed it, and cringed at almost every sentence I wrote. Some parts are actually worth reading, and others make me want to gag. So, I warned you. If you cringe/gag/puke from reading this book, I'm sorry. My writing is getting better though, I promise.Complete
