Fish are Friends

On Friday, Lexie, Laurel, and Kay wore the shirts. The shirts that they came up with the idea for at their junior high church retreat. The shirts that they had made in June. The very blue t-shirts that had hung in their closets all this time, vowed never to be worn until this day. The shirts they believed would get them friends that were older, friends that could help them survive high school. Maybe even seniors would notice, smile, say "hi, I like the shirt idea, welcome to high school!"
Not that they didn't have friends. But their expectation? They would be involved. Students and teachers alike would see that they were "people" people. For college. The reality of the matter? Things didn't go as planned.
"Get it?" Lexie asked, smiling at the play on words. "Fish are friends. Not food. Freshman, fish, haha?
Becca gave no response except a skeptical look.
"Anything?" Lexie asked.
"Nope," said Becca.
Hi, my name is Lexie. I'm starting high school, and I'm going to die.

The Boyfriend Games {Complete | Book One}
"You signed me up for what?" I shrieked at her. My best friend, who had volunteered me to test a new game that she wanted to make videos out of. A game that took ten girls and ten guys and forced them to become a couple. But the guys had to go around and choose who they wanted to try and date, to court and try to swoon. A twisted form of the bachelor or the bachelorette. A way of trying to force love. And she had written my name down without my permission. "It's called The Boyfriend Games," she giggled. "We're gonna find you some love." •~• I gasped looking up at the sincerity in his eyes. "I mean it. The other girls not only dolled their looks up, but they all put on a phony façade. The personality and laughter I see from them is all fake. But you... you only show what's real, no matter how different your appearance is. You're still the same Thera that you were before this started." Chewing on my lip I looked up at him and took a deep breath before my reply. "I really have to pee." •~• Started: Jan. 2015 Finished: July 2015Complete

Follow the wonderful (and sad) story of my friends and I as we have GIF wars, see kidnappers, and tp houses. This story is based off of the group chat conversation, but NOT ALL OF THIS STUFF ACTUALLY HAPPENED. You'll understand why I want to make this abundantly clear soon.Complete

Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

Rubble (Riders of Apollo #7)
"That's Rubble." I tune back into the conversation, having missed the entire thing, I think introductions were made but I got bored so. "He's the biggest pain in the ass when his best friend isn't here so be warned." Saviour teases and my jaw drops. "Excuse you? I am easily the best person here to hang out with." "Easily the most delusional person to hang out with." Marielle retorts and I gasp dramatically. "I am offended Mari, what have I ever done to deserve such treatment? I am a delight! A pure and utter delight." "You've been playing Tetris for seven hours." Lexie points out and I look at the clock in surprise. "Damn, really? I lost way too much time, hey do you think if I close my eyes I'll just see the bricks?" Juniper laughs at that, along with the others, and it's a welcome sound. A beautiful one, really.
