Hurricane of Stars

Bennett - I thought I'd start with a quote. "If you love someone, be brave enough to tell them or be brave enough to watch them be loved by someone else." - Anonymous We both know which one I was, don't we? I love a lot of things in my life. Food, my mom, star-gazing, and - yes - even my sister. I also firmly believe that there is a difference between loving someone and being in love. For the longest time, I wasn't sure which one you were. And that's what this story is about, Bennett. My figuring out what category you fell into. It took me a while to figure it out. And now, you deserve to know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ April Holt has led a pretty unspectacular life. Especially in comparison to her twin sister, Arwen. She and Arwen are polar opposites. Arwen is pretty, popular, and personable. April is boring, brainy, and her best friends are the stars. Enter Bennett MacCauley. He plunges in to April's life, becoming one of the friendliest, funniest, most perplexing, most frustrating human beings she has ever met. Naturally, she finds herself falling for this whirlwind of a boy who seems to have no idea that she is hopelessly head over heels for him. Unfortunately, Arwen gains an interest in Bennett as well - and he seems to return the feelings. April's unassuredness in her new hectic life grows as her best friend moves back to town. Old sparks reignite, mixing with her new-found feelings for Bennett, and April is tossed into an ocean of unguided young love where the only North Star she can hope to look to for direction is her heart. © 2013 Emily Thayer All rights reserved
