Who's to say I wasn't perfect? Oh yeah, me. To the world, I was a shy, intelligent, modest 13 year old that kept to herself. To my friends, I was a spazzy, loving, caring, outgoing brainiac that cherished what she had, and never let jealousy grab her by the heart. To my teachers, I was their dream student. Straight A's, no late papers, perfect attendance, never late, never misbehaved. To myself, I was a clumsy, stupid, girl with an uncontrollable mouth that tended to speak the opinion in my brain, with no filter in between. 
       To most of the above's delight, boys rarely ever crossed my mind, and on the occaision they did, they were thought of as the best friends that never decided to start drama, or out-dress you, or constantly talk your ears off. -Until the summer before eighth grade. Then it all changed. As for his point of view on me... I didn't even know him, let along what he thought of me.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

~1 year ago~ Natalie's Point Of View I was standing outside the toilet block talking to my sister about teachers at my school when I saw 'him' walking towards the male toilet. I have been waiting far too long for him to talk to me but he never comes, I don't want to just give up but something is telling me I need to. Maybe we were never meant to be together or maybe I should make the first move, yeah but if I do that I'll seem desperate. "Hey, dude did you hear me?" I heard someone say hitting me in the shoulder. I glanced over and saw my sister staring at me like I was an alien. "No what did you say?" I said smiling in embarrassment simply because he laughed when my sister slapped me. Why do I have to be crushing on a guy I don't even know and is way out of my league? Then again who would fall for me? ugly, boring Natalie who can't even get a boyfriend and probably never will. "I said if you get Mrs. Frankson as a homeroom teacher this year say your prayers she's the worst," my sister said I stepped on a flat square bench, that looks like a really low table but people sit on it and stood on it with my back facing the toilets. "yeah you see I don't think I will" "I think you will," she said laughing. I waved my arm in the air and I felt it collide with something. "OW, you hit me in the face" I heard a slightly deep voice. I quickly turned around and who I didn't expect to see was there. I smacked my crush in the face. ---- Natalie a sweet, innocent girl who finds it hard to find someone she truly trusts. Ben a loud, outgoing guy who every girl falls at his feet. Both individuals have feelings for each other and have for quite a while but when Ben plucks up the courage to tell her. One of Natalie's best friends tries her best to break them up so he will see how much better she is. Will Ben forget about his feelings and break Natalie's heart or will he see straight past her friends fake lies?

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely. How do you tell somebody who you can't talk to that you're in love with them? Simple. You force them to listen.
