Who you are.
In a world where your personality is decided for you, Leilani (Lani) Caartz is terrified for her Personality Test. She has been told time and time again that she shows potential for the rarest Personality in history. Her City hasn't had this personality in 13 years, so for Lani to be one is special.
Isaac Darmin has had his personality, job, and match for a month now, and he wants nothing more than to tell her. He's been in love with her all his life, but she hasn't had her 16th birthday yet.
When Lani's best friend Effie's match is thrown out of the City, the search is on for answers. Secrets are revealed, answers are needed, and love is created in a world where true love is forbidden.
This is City 107, formerly known as the United States, and everything and nothing is possible.

Love's Deadly Bloom [UNEDITED]
Leilani Ahn was just there. She didn't stick out, she had great friends, and she was nice to everyone. She didn't stick out much. Why so? She just known as the basic perfectionist of her class. Although, the same couldn't be said for Issac Espiritu. He stood out as the goofy little shit of the class. Or, well known as the "class clown". Issac was basically perfect in Leilani's eyes. He was good at his instrument, he was hilarious, he was good with academics, and he knew when to be serious at times. Obviously he was still annoying, but there was a little bit of charm that pulled her in. Not as if she really liked him though! That would've made a lot of thing weird. However, one day, after a few petals, the newfound 8th grader had a problem in her hands. No, literally, she had the problem in the palm of her hand.
