|Felix Culpa| - Latin for "happy fault" or "blessed fall"

One of life's greatest ironies comes when we take time to reflect on all the good that comes from the bad in our lives. Most of us can point to decisions, struggles, and accidents that were quite tragic, but led to magic, and Skylar Joseph and Devin Booker are no different. Although both make a life-changing mistake, it is Skylar's response to their error in judgment that sends her world, the worlds of her family and closest friends, and eventually Devin's world, into a tailspin. But just as life would have it, this momentary fall could very well lead to lifelong happiness. Because the beauty in humanity originates in our ability to grow, adjust, and bounce back from faults of our own and faults of others that have major impacts on who we are and what we do. And it is when we are able to recognize just how valuable those faults are, that we can experience the beauty of grave mistakes turning into great happiness.

"So this was all just a game to you . . .this whole time, you pretended to like me in order to humiliate me in front of the entire school?" An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.

"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romantics
