Katerina Evans knows perfection. Perfection is the calm of silence, when the sound of fighting doesn't reverberate within the walls of her house. Perfection is living safe, no drugs, no smoking, no recklessness. Perfection is forever, which Kat definitely knows is a lie, yet can't help but believe.
     
  Perfection is not Lucas Goode, who rudely barges into her life and turns the normalcy of her ordinary life upside down with his bold and spontaneous ways. Perfection is not the way he makes her feel.
      
  Lucas Goode has what most would suppose a perfect life. Captain of the football team and the town's golden boy, Lucas knows he can't waste time with the town's anti-social and uptight loner if he wants to leave the sleepy town of Briarville. 
      
  But sometimes, life has a strange way of making you do things you don't want to do.
      
      Maybe, just maybe, life doesn't need to be perfect.
      Maybe, perfection is imperfection.All Rights Reserved

THE PERFECT GUY by Cath3yy

What does it mean to be perfect? Does a perfect guy even exist? Rachael is lonely, depressed, and bullied at school, with no friends to turn to. As she teeters on the edge of despair, she contemplates ending it all-until the possibility of a soulmate gives her a glimmer of hope. Rachael dreams of finding her perfect match, but deep down, she doubts that love is in the cards for her. When Jake, a new student, arrives at Brookdale High, she fears he'll be just another bully. But instead of ridicule, Jake offers comfort, and Rachael begins to believe that maybe, just maybe, love is possible. With newfound courage, Rachael decides to stand up to her bullies and speak out about the torment she's endured. To her surprise, one of her tormentors, Sam, apologizes and urges others to stop. As she gains new friends-and possibly a love interest or two-Rachael's world starts to change. But in the end, only one guy can be her perfect match. Will Rachael find the love she's been searching for, or is perfection just an illusion?
