"I want you," Mr Ross said slowly as he paced and the room, "to come up with a piece of prose taken from a famous author. But." He stopped, "I want you to add your own spin to it." He looked at the class and smiled, "you have two minutes." We all got to it. 

After two minutes he called out 'times up.' He scanned the class to pick his victim and finally settled on, "Noah." He looked unbothered as he lifted his head up from the table. "Read yours out please." He signalled to the piece of paper in front of him. 

Still, unbothered he picked up the paper and cleared his throat. He glanced at me then began, "Lilo... light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lee-Low: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of two steps down the palate to tap, at two, on the teeth. Lee. Low. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing five feet six in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Willa at school. She was Willow on the dotted line. But in my arms, she was always... Lilo." He finished with a blank expression on his face, turned his head to look at me then rested it back onto the desk. 

The whole class stared at me but I couldn't help but stare at him in awe.

- this book is berry humorous. The extract makes it seem like it's not. 
Also, NOT A CLICHÉ LOVE STORY.

- All characters and sub characters you will meet are of different races unless described to be Caucasian #weneeddiversebooks. 

- Sidenote: I've lived in England practically all my life so trying to write American English can be hard. sorry :)

- PLEASE read the author's note instead of commenting and trying to make me appear to be stupid because I won't hesitate to make you feel stupid yourself :)

The Opposite of Falling Apart by titanically-
66 parts Complete
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . . What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart. Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about. To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . . When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start. Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.
