He throws me the most charming (uh, not) grin as he leans on the table I am currently sitting at. "So, can I have your number?"
I play dumb. "What number?"
His grin falters a little, but he still manages to keep his façade of ooh-I-don't-even-know-you-but-I'm-kind-of-interested-in-you. "Your phone number, obviously."
"Sorry, but I don't own a phone." Then I proceed to whip out my phone from my pocket and start playing Candy Crush.
I'm not even sorry.

Sienna Andrews is just your average genius, who is currently in her second last year at Riverswood Academy, one of the most prestigious private high schools of Massachusetts. America, even.
On the outside, she is distant, a little intimidating, brutally honest and rather evil with a side dash of crazy. Underneath, she hides insecurities, troubles, and scarring memories from her childhood. When your dad was the stereotypical star quarterback and playboy, and your mum the head cheerleader and girly girl, life has got to be pretty interesting, right?
Well, yeah... kind of.
Although Sienna doesn't know it yet, junior year for her means lots of drama, and many unexpected happenings.
What happenings, you ask?
Tears, laughter, new friendships, revenge, injuries, the uncovering of family secrets, unfamiliar feelings, and lots of character development.
This is a story behind the seemingly perfect girl's façade, a story of broken glass, of loneliness, of love, and of shattering silence.
This is a story of how a woman and a man change each other for the worse, and a girl and a boy change each other for the better.
This is a story of how a girl came to be everything she is, and how she comes to be everything she will become.
This is Sienna's story.

"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest.

"No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god!

"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile.

All Along
Not everyone who walk together reaches the destination together. Sometimes, one is left behind. Sometimes, one has to break to complete the other. Silence is love's faithful companion. Love is nothing unless felt. It shows its presence silently, waiting patiently, lurking in the shadows of hearts. All this while, the silence as its faithful companion, holds its hand and bears every sigh, every torment, every skip of a heartbeat, every joy, and every glance with it. They complete each other and yet they don't, for love demands recognition. It requires confirmation and when the love has reached its peak, it pushes the silence down. Breaks it, steps over it, and shouts to the whole world the tale of its existence. And silence, it smiles watching the whole scene. But as it is said, silence in itself is the loudest cry. "I'll always love you too, Kayla," he said smiling at me and I placed my head on his shoulder. We sat in silence with our hearts at peace and filled with content. Can silence speak?
