Heading East

Imagine you are on a sun lounger, tanning in the golden sun of the exotic Spanish beaches, breathing in the crisp salty air, sipping from a freshly cut coconut with a curly straw and a tiny umbrella. And stop...

You are now back to reality with Aurelia (Aurey for short) Jennings , a girl who is consumed by wanderlust but has a fear of flying and is a magnet for trouble.

With a tendency to attract trouble; a serious obsession with making new cookie flavours; a childish nature and a kind heart, Aurelia (Aurey) Jennings is not your typical teenage girl.

She's in love with the idea of seeing the world, but because of an extreme fear of flying (yep she didn't think that one through), she has never ventured out of her close-knit town.

She is drawn to any challenge and well obviously food. So let's just say that when you add the bad boy (Wesley East) to the scene, who recently got back in town after a mysterious year away, and a chance to get free food, Aurelia can't help but trying to befriend him. Meaning she does whatever it takes to take down his walls, even if she has to take down her walls, which reveal her troubled past and present, that she is desperately trying to conceal.

'What are you trying so hard to hide from me?' He demanded.

'I can't tell you, you'll never look at me in the same way.'

He glared down at me, all the while keeping me pinned against the wall. 'What are you afraid of? What are you running away from?' He continued to trap me.

'You can't know, he'll find me.' I whispered.

'Then let him, I'll be here to protect you.'

And with that he pushed himself off of me and returned to the party, leaving me confused at the sudden interest he had in me, after all my failed attempts at befriending him.
