"No, Sydney, I can't let you into my fucked up world, just trust me, you will have no idea what you're getting into. I'm looking out for you." He softly said, with softened eyes.
"I've had enough people saying they look out for me! Let me be with you, please. I want you, Cody." I pleaded, stepping closer to him. I put a hand on his arm and he inhaled sharply. I could tell my touch was effecting him.
"I.. I can't." He said, regret filling up his eyes. I knew he was hesitating.
I couldn't contain it anymore. I shook my head in disagreement, took another step forward and smashed my lips onto his, bringing him closer to me.

Meet Cody Samuel, a hot, 17 year-old heartthrob.
Meet Sydney Campbell, a pretty, weird, 17 year-old know-it-all.
Sydney has had a crush on Cody since second grade, but she's always been in the friend zone with him. Well if you like to call fighting and then goofing about sometimes friendly. With the burden of parents and school work on the two, they get a bit tangled up with one-another. What was supposed to be a fun party, later turned into a stressful spin the bottle game, and a lot of kissing. And flirting.
When Sydney gets into a big mess, which she never intended to get into, she doesn't know what will come her way.
Little did she knew, that her one night stand with a guy she just met in a cafe would have a trail of long problems coming her way.
Cody isn't the guy she thought he was. She can't trust anyone. And maybe her whole life was one big lie too. Will she break because of everything that she's found out? Or will she keep fighting on?

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?"
I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest.
"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing."
