For Olivia Reneau, it was a normal day. She went on her normal hike through the woods, and saw and did nothing out of the ordinary, just as she did any other day. She was never one to go against the flow. She was never one to have anything exciting happen to her. So when she runs into a sobbing boy in the woods, she has no clue what to do. All the more so when they actually become friends. But when reality starts to sink in for them, problems arise. Untold secrets will be unravelled. Friendships may be torn. Was it a twisted joke from the universe that they'd meet? Or was it a twist of fate with benefit for the both of them?

initially a single short story, now a bunch of short stories all under one roof.

Sawyer is a lonely, misunderstood girl, she does thing to try change herself, push herself into the spotlight, to make her like herself, none of which work, and only succeed in making her feel more empty inside, and just makes people judge her all the more for being so different. Finn is a lonely, misunderstood boy, he tries to hide himself, pushes himself away from the spotlight, to make people forget about him, he knows he's dying, he's not going to make it past his eighteenth birthday, so he pushes himself away from everyone he cares about, to reduce the pain the feel when he's gone. Only he never thought they'd let go so easy.

She won't settle for just anyone, it's too bad that the best, most tolerable dancer isn't available, or is he? [#FreeYourShorts Entry: Romance Word Count: 2,932]
