Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

Chemistry in History
"Make me," I said challengingly. He looked at me daringly, and then suddenly smashed his lips against mine, he sucked on my bottom lip making me let out another moan, I kissed him back, but then he abruptly broke the kiss too soon, leaving me feeling dizzy. "Now go home, or else you won't be able to walk tomorrow." He whispered in my ear. ***** Have you ever been secretly in love with your friend's crush? Well, Bella has. Suddenly having to move from the city to the suburbs is not something Bella could have even imagined. Her mom got married again after years of getting over Bella's dad and now BAM! Bella's whole life is upside down. She now has to live with two immature guys and a toddler, as well as a step-dad, acting as if life wasn't better when her mom and she were cramped in a little apartment baking cookies. Handling her now big family and joining in the middle of the year couldn't have been worse. Oh, wait, there's a reason people warn you to never say "how could it get any worse?" It all starts in history class when Bella's assigned to sit next to the hottest guy in school (a.k.a. the guy her friend likes). How can she keep herself away from that hot body and personality?! Oh and if this wasn't bad enough, poor Bella meets a sassy brat who comes back from the Bahamas, she's pretty, hot, and is head over heels for Bella's history partner. What happens when the brat starts dating him? Jealousy is an understatement of how Bella feels. So what do you think happens when Bella loses control and doesn't care that he's taken or that he's her friend's crush!?!? ...Well, you'll just have to find out :) All I can say is things get hot and we end up getting chemistry in history. Warning!: Some minor sexual scenes and swearing do appear. Highest ranking: gfbf #2Complete
