Xavier had tan skin, light brown hair, and silver eyes. When Edward first saw him a week ago, he nicknamed him 'Pretty boy.' His friend, Isabella, glanced over at him and smirked. "You're still staring?""Shut up, Bella. I was not."Isabella hummed. "Well, maybe you should ask him out. So you can stop sneaking looks at him during class.""I'm not staring at him." ...

Skylar was sitting at her dining room table sipping from a teacup when she heard a knock at her door. She glanced at the clock beside her and thought sourly, who'd be up at this hour?But she got up nevertheless; opened the door to find her friend on her threshold. "Anne? What's the matter?"Her friend entered the house and threw her coat on Skylar's couch by the door. Anne plopped down and sighed. "What do you think happened?""Oh. Again?" Skylar went into her tiny kitchen and poured her friend a cup of warm tea. She handed...
