"Your imperfection's are perfect to me."
***
At first glance Brooke Hatley might seem like the typical brunette; pretty but shy, a face easily forgotten and washed away into the back of many minds, never to be given a second thought. Or at least that's what she likes to believe.
At second glance, one might notice her bubbling personal, a heart of gold and a smile that has the ability to make someone's day.
If by chance one decides to look a third time, they may be able to see the faint shadows under her eyes from staying up all night with nightmares. They might
see that her laugh isn't quite wholehearted. Or that her charming smile never does quite reach her eyes.
No one looks three times.
No one but Simon Avery

Done are the days of trashy boyfriends, who couldn't find the right spot if there were fluorescent signs pointing to it, and deadbeat mega mooches.

She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty.

"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. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle.

He slowly lays back on the bed, taking me with him. "I like that sound." He smirks, making me blush. "Shut up." I whisper, making him chuckle. I lean down and take his lips in mine, cutting off his laugh. ************************************** Riley is a 15 year old girl who has had a tough life.
