Things I, Carla Moore, want to accomplish by the end of the summer:
1. Read a book a week. I want to be well-informed on the classics before University in September – knowledge is power, after all.
2. Save at least $2000 over the summer.
3. Get a boyfriend – preferably Victor Jones, God’s gift to us mere peasants.
4. Have the best summer ever with Lilly, Belle and Ash.
5. Lose two stone. (Two and a half if Kit Kat’s stop being so delicious.)
Carla Moore (or Carla Moo, as they called her in primary school) has three months to accomplish The List. Five things that are essential before she embarks on the biggest journey of her life: University. Things aren’t as simple as they seem though when Carla’s personal life is thrown into turmoil, her life-long battle with her weight-issues dictate her personal and social life and she finds herself unable to stop thinking about her life-long best friend who just so happens to have a girlfriend...

Wherever You Are [COMPLETED]
“What is your problem?! LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screeched. I was tired of this and couldn't hold it in. He’s been doing this for a whole year. A WHOLE YEAR. It was the last day and I had nothing to lose from this sudden outburst anyway. I was ecstatic that it was almost summer vacation. I’m going to go to my aunt’s place in Philadelphia and live there for the rest of the summer – AWAY from Dylan and his friends here in Massachusetts. “Never, baby. Wherever you are, I’ll be there.” He sent me one last smirk and left the cafeteria, filing out along with the rest of the students. ♣ “I’ll miss you, sweetie.” “I’ll miss you too, mom. See you in September.” And with that, I closed my suitcase for the last time in Massachusetts and prepared for a peaceful, serene summer in Philadelphia. ♣ “Dylan?!” I shrieked as my glasses drooped down the bridge of my nose. “Abby…?” He sounded unsure as he studied my face and features a bit more. “What are you doing here?” “I should be asking you that,” I stated bluntly while readjusting my glasses. “Oh you silly kids. We already told you. We’re living together!” Elaine announced again. I almost barfed.Complete

You know everything. You're holding the key to the world just above my fingertips." "What?" "You know exactly what I mean." He rubbed his eyes with his hand. "If I'm doing that, it's only because I'm giving it to you. I'm not against you, and I don't know why you think I am. This was supposed to be a peace offering." "I don't want peace. I just-" I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "I just want everything to go back to the way it was." "Before me?" I nodded. Amanda Jayne is a sports-loving, change-resisting math enthusiast.
