KNOWN AS: KISSING LESSONS WITH THE JERK

Louise has always been bitter about the idea of being with someone forever. Because quite frankly, there isn't such a thing as forever.

But on the last year of high school, Louise had lost everything; her best friends and her supposedly perfect boyfriend.  But she did become close with her enemy: Parker. One thing that she never expected to happen was that her father would send her away to her cheating mother before college starts, best surprise of all? Parker is there. 

With all the bitterness in her, would she even have the heart to love again? Especially when she finds out the actual reason as to why she was sent to stay with her mother in the first place.

He would kill to protect her, the girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection". "Perfection... that's what she's always been.

It's clearly hard to fall in love with someone when you don't know you're already falling. It's harder to fall in love with someone whom you know wouldn't take the chance of falling in love with you back. And it's the hardest to just keep the feeling away, to distance yourself to that certain person you're in love with. ~~*~~ No matter who you are, where you're from and how fucking hot you are... Confessing to that someone you really like would be the hardest. CAUTION: This story slightly includes butt touching, perverting, and hot make outs. Read at your own risk. When their worlds -- the flawed but still perfect world-- collides, memories will be created, Memories will be reminisced and most of all, Memories will be lived.
