Land was boring. Everything was either green or brown, with the occasional color on a building or in a flower. Under the water, everything was different. The earth became blue, everything fading away with the blue ripples rolling across the surface. Under the surface of the water, you could forget about everything, even if it was only for a few seconds. That's why I'm here, under the surface. ----------------------- Jade Grey is a junior in high school, and, for as long as she can remember, she's been alone. Alone with the water. No one bothers her, and she doesn't bother anyone. That all changes one day when she runs into Asher Kennedy, and he follows her to a place no one ever goes. He forces his way into her water filled world, and soon she finds him coming dangerously close to becoming her oxygen in the pool of life. Asher Kennedy has always been the boy who has had everything go his way, at least at school. He's captain and quarterback of the football team, always has some girl or another falling over him, and he's always had good grades. Until he runs into Jade Grey. She turns his simple life upside down, and he slowly starts to dive into her world.

After her parents' divorce, Abigail is overcome with anger and frustration. Unexpectedly, a math teacher makes it her life's mission to help her out, and the two form an unusual friendship. As their bond deepens, Abigail unravels the challenges of Ms. Bennett's life: her relentless dedication to her work and her incapability to form any type of relationship have held her back from living at the fullest, and perhaps she should be saved from her own insecurities. While Abigail falls in love for the first time, she is torn between her first love and her unexplainable attraction to Ms. Bennett; they rely on each other to fight their battles, and have to decide whether their feelings are strong enough to follow them. "You did good," calmly stated Ms. Bennett, putting her hand on Abigail's thigh. "Look at that sunset," said an amazed Abby, staring at the sky changing color right in front of them. As if it was an obvious request, the two women got out of the car and placed the tablecloth on the grass, then lay down on it, with their attention completely drawn to the stars above their heads. While Abby was thinking about her hand accidentally yet not at all unwelcomed brushing against Ms. Bennett's, she was reflecting on how much the young girl had changed her life, putting her out of her misery and need to look for comfort in her work. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Ms. Bennett murmured under her breath. English is not my first language so be patient with me :) As of February 2026, I am re writing this story to be more concise and clear.
