Taylor is a normal girl. She lives a normal life, has a few good friends, and an amazing family. She plans on donating money to charities. She wants to do good. But why him? He's completely broken, but he won't open himself up enough so he can be fixed. And she just stumbled across him. It's his eyes, his facial expressions, his voice. They tell her, ask her, to fix him. and he doesn't even try. He doesn't want it. Can she help him?

Hi, my names Taylor Maroon Elzy. i'm 15 years old, and am in 10th grade. i'm obviously a girl, and i'm gonna satay that way too... so yeah. I've always been one of those naturally nice people. I wanna grow up to be a good, maybe, hopefully, weathy people, who donates money to charities and gives a few extra dollars, or more, to a homeless man on the road. i've never strived to be popular, because that was never my thing. I get told i have this natural beauty but i don't believe it... well, that's me for you.

I'm Lucimere Angel Butler. I guess my name has quiet a meaning behind it. So far, i'm 17 years old, and a guy, planning on staying that way too. I don't consider myself a good person, but i can be quiet an actor, so you'll probably never know. I don't have a banner past, just something that i couldn't care less if i forgot. don't ask me about it either. it's... just personal.

I'm Ranee (Ruh-nay). I guess you could say i'm popular, like, really popular. Okay so everyone listens to me and i get what i want but come on, i'm not terrible. Ha! well, actually, i'm a b**ch. I'll admit it, and i don't care that i am either. It just makes everyone bow to me even more. I'm not nice, pretty, but not nice. I always pick main targets, currently Luce and Taylor are great targets, though that Taylor, she's always persistent... that -, well, nevermind.

I'm Vincent Michaels. Please, call me Vince. i'm a charmer, or just nice. I guess you could say i'm a bit of a show off, but i'll still a good guy. I can be a major flirt, but don't take it the wrong way if i don't flirt with you, sometimes it all depends on my mood. I'm 16 years old, and i'm a guy. Luckily, i'll be staying a guy.

I'm Seneca Butler. I'm 22, and if it isn't obvious, i'm a girl. I love my little brother, Luce, to death, and seriously if people could just shut up and leave him alone, they would get on a whole lot better. If you wonder where i am, well, let's say i'm just hanging around. Now then, i have business to attend to.

I'm Birdy Martin. I'm a girl, and I'm 13. I'm just around. Taylor's a good friend of mine *cough* Though, she needs advice a lot. That's what i'm here to support.

A Yawn. Taylor loved morning. Except for the waking up part. That required work, and she wasn't really up for it. Still, like every morning, she rolled out of bed, got dressed, and went to breakfast. Today she sported a navy blue tank top, and white skinny jeans. She threw on her favorite black converse. Fixing a quick bowl of cereal, she sat at the table. She sighed. Honey Bunches of Oats. She took a bite, and almost threw up. Might as well call them, Plenty Bunches of Boring. They sucked. Maybe it was the fact that they had been collecting dust in the cabinet for over 2 years. She spit out her bite, and through the cereal away. She quickly rinsed the bowl, and decided to skip breakfast.
Her mom was out of her room, in crisp cut suite, and her nicely trimmed glasses, " i can drive you to the bus stop, but i'm nearly late for an important meeting." Taylor raised an eyebrow, " mom." Her mom slouched, her fine posture breaking, " do i look okay? this is the second time they've wanted to see me. I really need this job! high paying and everything!" Taylor smiled, " you look great, i know you can do this." Her mom straightened out, and smiled, " thanks dear." They hugged. Being an only child, Taylor had time to bond with her mom. They were very close.
The bus was nearly there. Taylor sprinted out the door, with a final goodbye to her mom. She ran up the bus steps. Vince was already in their usual seat. She smiled. There was someone new on the bus. He was rather handsome. He watched the world pass out side the window. He looked up, and for a moment, their eyes met. Taylor's breath caught. He had amazing eyes. She shook her head, and smiled. She walked and slid down next to Vince. " Morning." Vince smiled. Taylor replied, " Morning, Vincey."
He laughed, his relaxing laugh. That one that made every worry Taylor could have melt away. She laughed with him, unsure what they were laughing about. Soon she had to stop herself, " Come on, now, what are we laughing at?" Vince shrugged, " Does it matter? laughter is the best medicine. Someone who doesn't laugh, isn't right in the head." I nodded, " sure, but maybe something happened." Vince shrugged, " doesn't mean they can't laugh."
Tay nodded, but couldn't help but feel a little defensive of his statement. Soon, they were going to roll in front of the school.

Kids were filing through the doors like soldiers. We weren't trained to do so, but the cameras surrounding the front entrance made everyone to tense to think about even speaking. Vince and Tay though, they ran up the front steps with confidence, laughing and talking about whatever subject they had started on the bus. What really surprised Tay is that one new guy. He just walked up, passing everybody, doing his own thing. His steps were relaxed, more free. The other kids, looked like boards of wood trying to move.
She giggled. Vince gave her a look, " what?" She shook her head, " nothing." He shrugged, " if you say so." They both entered the doors, and sighed. This is where the havoc started. Fighting, laughing, weaving, kissing, and much more, was happening in the commons. It's like a hollowed out lunch room, with tables and chairs. It's pretty cool, except the fact that it's the biggest hangout area in the school.
Ranee. Taylor sighed, " look what the cat dragged in." Ranee smiled, " i'm looking at it." Taylor rolled her eyes, " stop putting up the mirror, Ranee. It's getting old." Ranee laughed, " i'm not, today." Taylor faked a smile, " keep telling yourself that sweety." Ranee waved it off, " look, that's not what i'm here to talk about. That boy, Luce, he rides your bus now. This afternoon, tell him i want to see him tomorrow morning." she giggled to herself, " or else." Taylor nodded, " fine whatever. Now goodbye." Ranee waved, and walked off to join her friends.
Vice growled, ish, " who does she think she is." tay turned to him, " um, the most popular girl in school, and your sister. I'm sorry this was put on you." Vince groaned, " i know. she's just terrible." Tay laughed, " okay okay, stop mourning. we're going to be late." They headed their separate ways. Once at her locker, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Luce. He wasn't a new kid, just new to her bus. it was then that she noticed their lockers were close. She shook it off. Just a coincidence.

Math was her next class. And her worst subject. she noticed then, that Luce had the same math class as her. She shivered. Anther coincidence. Still, she felt there was something about him. No. she shook her head.
This high school was different. Though they were all in different grades, all the classes were mixed together, depending on how well you were at the subject. Taylor cheated a lot with math, so she got bumped up big time. She figured, since Luce was here to, he was either bumped up, or in his grade's average math class. She bit her lip. This was just a strange coincidence. She smiled, and nodded. A girl, someone who she was slightly befriending, sat next to her.
Birdy Martin was smart, and ignorant. To traits that shouldn't have been put together. Birdy didn't put up with stuff, but she knew what responses to have, at the right time. To Tay, she's a good friend. To someone like Ranee, she's a low life who needs to be taken down.
Tay smiled, " Hey Birdy." Birdy nodded, " sup?" Tay shrugged, " the usual. Almost." Birdy looked at her, " Almost?" Tay shrugged, and replied, " yeah. just noticing more today." Birdy smirked, " it's amazing what the world gives you." Taylor laughed, " yeah. As if." Birdy nodded, " really. Ya know, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you get." She smiled, " Maybe, this is the first chocolate."
