What would you do when you wake up on your birthday to find your parents gone? Midnight didn't know how to react. Men came for her and she listened to her only instincts: run and hide! And that's what she did for the rest of her life. In a town she meets special people and then They come. What does she do when she wants to save the people she cares about? She does what she does best, she runs.

Michelle doesn't want to think about her parents divorce. No more, then she already has. Michelle swears she will never let herself forget what her father did to both her and her mother. He left them, for someone else. So, Michelle starts to believe, that love can never last. It's also Michelle's senior year of high school. Michelle plans to focus on hanging out with her three best friends, staying out of trouble (if that's possible), not thinking about her father or his new wife, and actually trying to keep up in her classes. What happens when sometimes her temper gets the better of her? Or, what about her new Physics teacher? Is he really that nice, and all... or is there another side to him? Will Michelle ever start believing in love again? Or will her heart ache just at the end? Looks like Michelle's crystal clear plansbfor senior year aren't so, crystal clear after all. It's about to get pretty complicated.

"Can you be loved, without loving yourself? Can people trust you without you trusting yourself? Can you live your life without you wanting to live it. probably not but loving me, trusting me or letting me live my life is not going to happen." Lilly looked at herself one more time and was sure: it was over, no one is going to be able to save her. not even Cody.

We believe in pink. We believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. We believe in kissing, kissing a lot. We believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. We believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. We believe that tomorrow is another day and we believe in miracles ~ Audrey Hepburn. Yes, we're girls. Not average teen girls or clichéd teen girls... just teen girls. Simple and short. We go through way more problems than your average teen girl and those problems are way more real and practical than that of your clichéd teen girl. We're just teen girls. Peace. I'm Char. I'm Nicole. I'm Amanda. And I'm Claire and this, is the story of our lives. No, we aren't gonna search for quotes implying we're guys. Wanna know why? Either yes or no, to be honest neither of us know why. All you need to know is that we're teenagers with a clichédly dramatic life. Not a cliché... Just clichédly dramatic. I'm Eric. And I'm Chris. Peace. Darn it, they said that already? So... Uh... Love ya, xoxo. P.S THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG. WE'RE NEVER SAYING IT AGAIN!
