~In which an awkward girl hits a boy with her yo-yo ~
  
  "I always detested yo-yos."
  
  "In truth, what changed your mind?"
  
  "Well, this beautiful girl decided it would be in her best interest to knock me out with one."
  
  "In that case, I hope you learned your lesson."
  
  "I did, I learned that there is beauty in everything including in something as insignificant as a yo-yo"

With servants running around taking on all possible duties of his, all Wyatt ever had to worry about was football season.

  Out of all the ways these two opposites could have met, a yo-yo brings them together, initiating an interesting spiral of events. Thus, begin the late nights and secret meetings at the art studio, where anything and everything can happen.

Emma Reese's main worries used to be homework, feeding her cat and being able to find her Friends reruns in the DVR. That was until she decides to do something nice for the world, something you'd think she'd be rewarded for, but it seems karma was broken that day for when she offers to lock up the school library after hours she's stormed by five teenage delinquent boys. She thinks she has them bested as she runs away from the still unlocked library when once again life throws her another curveball. Rounding the corner on her way to her gran's house when the dark, mysterious, and somewhat handsome boy she thought she escaped cuts her off. Then, you know what they say; you can't ever just have one potato chip, Mr. Mysterious's friend magically appears not only stealing her backpack but also her freedom. They decide it'd be difficult to hide her body so what's the next best thing? kidnapping. Emma's whisked away from her simpleton life into one of what seems like life in a can. She's never felt more trapped yet somehow free. Carter Tyler is a delinquent. A high schooler who'd somehow managed to work hard enough to graduate a year earlier than Emma and all of his crime thirsty friends even though he was the same age. His first time in the school library after four years of high school he thought would be boring, indifferent if you will. Instead, he somehow ends up home with a seemingly crazy girl and missing his first kiss. In Carter's eyes Emma, who had convinced him her name was Valerie, was weird beyond belief, yet he was somewhat drawn to her. He sees Emma as a judgmental nun who assumes that just because he's been to Juvie a time or two, hasn't ever kissed a girl. That just because he could have any girl in the school that he wanted, had never been on a date. He thought Emma saw him for his looks only, and for some odd reason, he wanted her to see him as more. He wanted to show her he had a heart along with Calvin Klein looks. That he was more than a pretty face.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

It all started one night, when her mother was in a car accident, and never survived the night. She spent the remainder of the summer in mourning. She never ate, or left her bedroom for that matter.

That is, until she comes across Andrew Price: Local bad boy with a well-known reputation, and a heavy bank account. From leather jackets, to secrets, to new relationships, Lia finally comes to terms that her senior year will never be normal. Especially when her best friends and Andrew have a very public hatred towards each other. Will she manage to stay above the drama? Or will she fall into the crossfire of her best friend's feud? ************** STARTED: 8/30/18 ENDED: 1/17/21 RANKS: #6- projectbadboys 2/12/20 #16 - heartstrings 1/17/19
