"Daniel, I loved you!" I yelled.
"Who the hell are you? And why are you saying you 'loved' me?"
"Because." I began to tear up. "You cheated on me with a sandwich."
"Get out of my way." He shoved me, making me fall upon the linoleum floor. "And please, I have greater things to worry about than cheating on you with a sandwich," He spun around to face me before leaving me, a small smirk on his face, "like I'd have the time to date a shit-haired lesbian like you anyways."
I laughed as he walked away, getting up and brushing myself off, spinning around to face Annabelle and Trish. "So, how was the dare?"
"Good." I beamed.
Trish stared at me with a faint glow to her expression. "Now let's see how long it takes for him to realize that he likes you."
"As if, buttface." I giggled.
Heather was a sixteen-year old funny, happy-go-lucky teenager who loved to play pranks and dares on people, and as for her, she ended up daring the wrong person; Daniel Lamar Skyes. An ideal jock, with an ideal perfect jawline, and again... An ideal body type and a perfect reputation and status at school.
Lucky for her she didn't know the mess she was getting herself into.
Although her friends were the one to make her approach him.
Or was it her that wanted to approach him?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
