When life gives you lemons, you complain about them.
Melissa Johanson's life was just ordinary. Go to school, came back home, go to school and come back home again; repeat for the rest of the year. Until one day she and her family gets into a car accident. After that, she totally changes. She starts to live with her aunt Michelle. Moves in to a big city and starts a new school. While she is deep hurt inside, she tries to hide it from everyone to look strong. And one day at a grocery store she meets Evan.
Evan Mcgarlee is the nerd kid in school. The one we don't even care to look, the invisible one. Strange thing? Noone dares to bully him. Because once he gets out of the school, he completely changes into a jerk. Everyone is scared to see him out of school, because he is known to beat anyone that argues with him. This makes the whole school wonder, if he has two different personalities.
Oh, also school folk loves playing games on the new students.
What is the game? Secretly follow Evan for a week and note down what he did to how many people he has beaten. If anyone can complete this task without being noticed by Evan, they earn respect and glory from the whole school.
While Melissa is not the slightest interested in being popular, Evan catches her eye and with some bad circumstances, she overwelmes with curiousity. She decides to give this game a try.
With arguements to agreements, crowded fun parties to lonely nights, the two are drown to eachother without noticing, unconsiously.

All the Things I'll Never Say
This is a real, love story. By real, I mean it's a frustrating story. I promise you this: it's definitely not like the love stories by Nicholas Sparks, where the guy always gets the girl, or vice versa. You know what I'm talking about, right? He always writes those beautiful, attractive stories, where the guy falls in accidental, deep love with the girl, experiencing some small tragedy that breaks the heart of every reader. Any way, the point is that this story is nothing like that. Nope, that is just not me. This is the story of an average girl who attends an average college and who shares the average anxieties of every other individual. Yes, she falls in love with a guy, but she'll never admit that to anyone, especially not herself. This is the story of her modern love, of sex and inevitable attachment, of fast falling and easy emotion, and of overthinking and unanswered questions. It's a story that I'm sure everyone can relate to in one way or another. It all happens in 34 short days. She meets a guy, who ultimately leaves her with more questions than answers, but I suppose that is half of the allure. If you want a taste of the real world, of a love affair and self discovery from beginning to end, here it is. Be warned: what happens is pretty shitty.Complete
