Seventeen year old Ava has it all; the perfect family, the perfect grades, friendships and popularity. But behind it all is a darkness she can't shake, a depression she doesn't understand because what right does she have to feel so empty and sad when her life is so good?
Ava hides it all behind her smile, keeping up her perfect image, until a new neighbour moves in next door.
Theo hasn't had a perfect life and he and his mother are starting fresh after his mother finally leaves his abusive father. Theo sees beyond Ava's perfect smile to the cracks she tries to hide. He pushes her to be real, to be messy and live her life to the fullest, and let go of the idea of perfection.
This is a story of self discovery, and addresses mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self harm and suicide and may be triggering for some readers.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Lengkap

"Of course you do!" He said smoothly, rolling his eyes at my foolishness. "So, how about instead of just sitting there, would you like to dance?" He beamed confidently. "With who?" I grinned, taking his hand. *** (This is my first story completed 2016, excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes, I will go back and revise all of it once I'm done.)
