The Colour of My Love
Lily is a part time struggling artist, and full time highschool teacher. She dreams of changing lives through her art, so far that is happening only one student at a time.
She is passionate and devoted to her work, but her social life is in shambles. Not only is she single, her best friend, Loretta, is marrying the perfect husband, and Lily is the maid of honour. She brags about her new lover, who she says will be her date for the wedding, but she hasn't been on a date in over a year.
Lily and Loretta have the same friends, so she can't ask one of them to be her date. Desperate to not further embarrass herself, she makes a deal with one of the seniors in her class, Daniel. Though he is only 18, he is handsome, charming, and doing terribly in her class.
Will Daniel be able to convince the bridal party he is a successful young entrepreneur? Will Lily be able to play the part of a young lover without crossing any more lines with a student?
Read 'The Colour of My Love' to find out if lovers can really be drawn together.

Chapter: Starting Over"Look, Axle. I know this isn't ideal, but Stars Hollow is a great town. It's a place for us to grow new roots and connections, away from all the junk we had in the city. You're not even going to be here that long, you'll be off to university in no time,” Thomas said, leaning across the car to look his son in the eyes. “That is, if you get your head in the game and focus on the finish line. I think this new start will help you." “Whatever Thomas,” Axle said, lounging back against the seat. He had been calling his dad Thomas ever since the incident. Maybe it was rebellion, and maybe it was Axle asserting himself as a man. Either way, his father respected him enough to let it slide. ‘Thomas isn’t a bad guy,’ he thought, ‘for an old man’. "Selfishly, this is exactly what I need. Fresh start somewhere to

Chapter: GuidanceAs Lily walked down the hall, someone waved through the window of the Guidance Counselor’s office. She stopped to look and realized Mrs. Shannon was waving at her. Lilly thought this was strange, but detoured to the guidance office. “Ms. Doran, thank you. Your timing is impeccable, we were just talking about you,” Mrs. Shannon said. “Good things only I hope,” Lily said with a smile. She walked into the guidance office fully. It was a tiny place filled with comfortable seating and reference material for universities all over the world. In the back there was a small private office area for the counselor and a student to sit and discuss their future, but, in Lily's experience, that space was never used. They instead gravitated towards the comfy chairs in the reference section.

Chapter: The New TeacherLily didn’t know she could feel this embarrassed. All through home period, every time she looked near Axle, he had a knowing half smile on his face. It caused some complicated flips in her stomach. ‘I introduced myself as Lily… to a student,’ her blush was burning so bright she thought it was warming the room. When the bell rang, she ran to the teachers lounge. Though she looked where she was going this time. ‘Safe.’ “Ms. Doran, I presume? Unless you’re a student that is sneaking into the teacher’s lounge?” a youngish man said. He was tall enough, with neatly trimmed, wavy blonde hair. He looked at her expectantly, with warm brown eyes. Lily thought he might be a little older than her, but still in his twenties. ‘How ol

Chapter: Family Ties“Lily, hold still,” Susan Doran said. Lily was standing on a small stool in her mother's living room, trying to get her bridesmaid dress fitted properly before the photo shoot they had planned in 2 days. “Mom, I am trying to hold still, but you've poked me three times already and it's making me nervous.” Lily said, holding the hem of the peachy pink dress up. She had to admit, she liked the colour, but wasn’t sure about the cut. It was off the shoulder and plunged a little low on the breast bone, tastefully, Loretta had pointed out. It was long in the back, but asymmetrical in the front, showing quite a lot of thigh on one leg. Lily wouldn’t brag about it, but she had pretty good legs from her jogging and kickboxing. “Oh hush,” mama Sue said. “What you should really be nervous about is not having a date fo

Chapter: LilyLily rushed into the classroom, precariously balancing a coffee on top of a stack of folders and her bag. ‘I left on time this morning, why am I still late,’ she thought to herself. Just as she reached her desk, the bell rang, almost making her coffee spill. “Saved by the bell, Ms. Doran” said Aly, one of Lily’s students sitting in the front row. ‘Damn, I was the last one again,’ she thought. Lily was sure she had the only first period class with perfect punctuality. She turned to see her students, high school seniors, all sitting quietly and waiting on her. It wasn’t very long ago that Lily was sitting in a class just like this one, though she would have rushed in late, with brushes in her long blonde hair, pencils clutched in her slim hands, and a carefree smile on her smooth face.
