----------------------------------------
The title of each chapter is musical terms in Italian. This book is in 3rd person limited and the point of view will always be Ella's (unless otherwise stated).
I try to update as much as I can. This is the rough draft of The Emotions Game and if there are any updates on published chapters it's only for edits in grammar and spelling.
EDITING about (1/3) of the book done.
All quotes are my own little thoughts.

CURRENTLY EDITING With that, I walk away from the guys and head towards wherever the bathroom is. As I walk down the hall, someone bumps into me causing me to take a step back. "I'm so sorry, oh it's the birthday girl, happy birthday," she apologizes. "Umm, it's okay and thank you-" "Davina. Davina Fiore, I'm Ava's friend," she responds. "Oh I had no idea Ava was here," I say. "Yeah she's over in the kitchen drowning her sorrows in alcohol." I give her a confused look and then she explains, "because you're with Damian. I mean, I would be doing the same thing too, but it is my first night back in town." "You know Damian?" I ask totally ignoring the 'drowning in sorrows' part. "More than you think," she smirks before walking into the crowd. -------------------------- ~ Elle Winters moves to Canada with her parents after her father gets a job promotion.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete

Rules to Feeling Lonely
Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"Complete

I suck at descriptions honestly just read with book ;) Here's a fun snippet: "You kissed them?" Chase whispers to me. "No! Well yes and no, kind of. Now's not the fucking time," I stop myself from rambling. "Put the gun down," Louis demands. "Or we will shoot!" "What if I shoot first," I challenge. "Five of us and two of you. You knock down one or two of us we'll have your name on a gravestone," Louis grins evilly. "Are you underestimating my shooting skills?" I question. "Do you want to find out," Louis dares. "No! No the fuck we don't," Chase yells. He shoots me a 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look and I shrug.
