"Faye," he lifts up a piece of popcorn, "You remind me of this piece of popcorn."
Oh god, there's that freakishly loveable grin of his again - the one that haunts my dreams on a frequent basis. The very single one that I have grown to love.
"Pfft, why would you think that?" I ask, genuinely confused.
"Because," he drops the popcorn and smirks at me, "You're already falling for me."
Faye is as ordinary as a girl gets. She has average grades, an average body-shape, average friends, and an average streak of stubbornness. There's nothing that could possibly cause her to stand out in an average school of teenagers, except for the 'more-than-average' talent she has for kissing the floor (aka tripping), hugging the walls (aka bumping into walls) and colliding with inanimate objects (self-explanatory.) And even then, she still doesn't receive the 'good' type of attention.
So when the hot, new kid (who goes by the name of Reece Evans) literally drops a bucket of popcorn on her to get her attention, she's more than a little surprised. I mean, why in the world would someone at the top of the social hierarchy want to get her attention?
Simple, really. Because to Reece, Faye's looks are better than average, her personality is greater than average and her power to keep his attention solely on her?
More than average.
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
