An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
Lost In The Hallway
--- ✨ Story Description Sierra Vale has always been the quiet one-the girl who slips through crowded hallways with her sketchbook clutched tight and her head full of songs from TikTok trends she'll never dare to post. Her best friend, Zara Castell, is the opposite: bold, dramatic, and the kind of girl who believes life is too short not to take risks. But on the very first day of boarding school, Zara dashes off to call her long-distance boyfriend, leaving Sierra wandering the halls alone... and directly into Theo Frost. Literally. At first, Sierra mistakes him for a wall-until she looks up and finds herself face-to-face with the school's effortlessly confident heartthrob. Theo is charming, teasing, and far too good at making Sierra blush. She wants nothing more than to crawl into a hole and forget the whole thing ever happened. Except fate has other plans. From awkward run-ins to late-night study sessions, hoodie-sharing, and far too many dares pushed on by Zara, Sierra finds herself caught between wanting to disappear and realizing maybe-just maybe-someone like Theo sees her more clearly than she sees herself. A story about first crushes, growing confidence, and finding magic in the most embarrassing moments-The Way You Look at Me is a swoony rom-com full of blushes, banter, and a love that sneaks up when you least expect it. ---

He chuckled once, still sporting that same sexy smirk. He reached out and moved my hair behind my ear and uncrossed my arms. "i think if you believed it, you wouldn't be here right now." His voice came out rich and smooth. "so, do you trust me?" The look he was giving me was starting to make me sweat. My words seemed to be failing me so I nodded awkwardly in response.
