Loudandproud Stories

A raw, unfiltered story of a morning that started with quiet sadness, turned into white-hot irritation, and somehow ended in the middle of a wild, unplanned parking-lot fiesta.

Harmony is almost as typical as teenager gets, with raging obsessions over hugely popular boy-bands such as One Direction and her own dance career. She also has her not-so-typical side, her passion for super-geeky shows like Doctor Who and Merlin. Never mind her appearance. Her profile oozes normality, yet a special someone senses more to her...
