Meg Hart walked into Jefferson High wearing a leather jacket two sizes too big and a look that said, "Don't ask." Her boots clomped down the hall like a warning. Her eyeliner was thick, her smile nowhere to be seen, and the guidance counselor had already called her "troubled" before the first bell.
Jamie Greene noticed her before anyone else. Not because she was loud-she wasn't. Not because she was pretty-though she absolutely was-but because she looked like a storm in human form. And Jamie? Jamie was the type who got fascinated by weather patterns.
He watched from his locker as Meg slid into the back row of their English class, her gaze flat and distant, like she'd already decided the day wasn't worth her time.
During roll call, Mr. Keller mispronounced her name. She didn't correct him.
At lunch, she sat alone behind the gym.
By fourth period, she'd gotten detention for swearing at a math teacher.
Jamie had never gotten detention. He was the kind of kid who said "thank you" when handed back homework and carried a Dungeons & Dragons notebook even when he wasn't playing. He didn't know what to do with girls like Meg-girls who looked like they'd rather set fire to the rules than follow them.
And yet, when he found her crying behind the school one rainy Tuesday, he didn't hesitate.

The Guy Who Called Me An A-class Bitch

"Well, in the restaurant she was screaming at the both of us actually, thereby creating a scene, which doesn't exactly give a good person vibe off her. And the answer to your second question will be: I'd like to see her try." He explained, looking at me with a look of pure disgust. "Shut up." I yelled, loud enough for him to hear. Who did this guy think he was? I paid for his, Okay, their fucking dinner at eleven P.M. The least he could do was be polite to me or just shut up entirely. "And if I choose not to?" He questioned, looking amused. He's as good as dead then. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Jessica Walkers was just your everyday counsellor, nothing out of the blue. Her past...let's just not go into that.

In His Eyes
What if the boy you left behind became the man you couldn't resist? Cara Lawson never forgot her childhood best friend, Leo Hart-the sweet, chubby boy with a heart of gold and laughter that lit up her darkest days.

But when Cara's world turned upside down at fifteen, a sudden move tore them apart without warning... and without goodbye. Years later, Cara walks onto the campus of Ridgewell University, ready for a fresh start-new goals, new friends, and a clean slate. What she doesn't expect is the tall, broad-shouldered stranger with stormy eyes and a grin that makes her heart stumble. He knows her name. He knows her favorite color. He knows how she liked her peanut butter sandwiches in fifth grade. Because he's Leo. But this isn't the boy she left behind. This Leo is confident, charming, and impossibly attractive-no trace of the shy, round-faced kid from her memories. And while Cara struggles to reconcile the past with the present, Leo hasn't forgotten a thing. Not the way she smiled when she was nervous. Not the way it broke him when she left. And certainly not the feelings he buried deep the day she disappeared. As they navigate the twists of university life, old sparks flicker-and new ones ignite. But with past wounds, unspoken truths, and lingering questions between them, can Cara and Leo find their way back to what was never truly lost? Or will fear keep them from saying the words that could change everything?
