My name is Anna; I am a sixteen year old battling leukemia. I believe we have a choice in this world, about how to tell sad stories. On the one hand, you can sugarcoat it. The way they do in movies, and romance novels. Where beautiful people, learn beautiful lessons. Where nothing is too messed up that can't be fixed with an apology and a Peter Gabriel song. I like that version as much as the next girl does, believe me. It's just not the truth. This is the truth. Sorry... I am living a far from perfect life; and I'm not talking about the cancer. The people you should really worry about include; my mother, and her mysterious lover, who I prefer to call The Dutch Tulip Man. Also, my delusional hamster Sisyphus believes that running on her wheel will actually get her somewhere in life. While my life may not be perfect, I like the choices I have made, and I am living a life full of adventures. Okay?
A/N: There will be some quotes from the book The Fault In Our Stars written by John Green. My book was inspired by this amazing author, so Green deserves recognition. I do not claim any ownership to the quotes used in my story. All quote credits go to John Green.
All other parts of my book were written by me. Do not copy anything from my book!

Trust
Pia (Poppy) Sullivan doesn't believe in love. She never has. Growing up in a family where her father and mother hate each other and where her younger brother gets used by his girlfriends (without his knowledge), Poppy has learned not to trust anyone. Letting anyone in means letting your guard down and exposing yourself to getting hurt. It's jumping into a void and hoping there's a net at the bottom to save you. Chase Edwards is seventeen and brilliant. Coming from the poorer side of town, his intelligence lands him in the best school- a school whose prestige means that even rich kids struggle to get in. Rumours spread like wildfire around the school about his illegal actions and he is alienated from his peers at school. Girls want to be with him for the thrills and guys want to be him. But Chase keeps his head down and no rumours are ever proven to be more than what they are- rumours. When Poppy and Chase are put together for a class project, Poppy takes no notice of the whispers swirling around them. Gossip doesn't matter; grades do. However, when circumstances push them closer together, Poppy finds herself in a situation she doesn't know how to deal with, so she makes a quick decision. She lets Chase into her life. It's a decision that she will grow to either love or hate. In this game, there isn't another option. *Warning: There are a few 'The Fault In Our Stars' spoilers in here*Complete
