"For I am coconut and the heart of me is sweeter than you know."
Nikki Grimes
Cute. Amira Pierson hates that word. It's the bane of her existence. Everyone says to be thankful for her young face because she would be grateful for it in the future. Well, that doesn't help her now especially when she meets eyes with Damien St.John.
"Saint" is the quintessential bad boy rocker with the tattoos and dark black hair. They shouldn't even meet again, but they do over and over. Each time, she learns maybe his appearance is like her own. Just an outer shell.
Maybe it's time to get cracking!
