The blonde loner of Ridgewood high, falls for the sassy, rude, eccentric cigarette addict, a supposed bad boy of the same senior year as he: Adrian McCleron, and eventually forces out his friendly side. Meanwhile, Adrian doesn't see blondie in too much light, and finds himself admiring the coolest play boy, and most popular basketball captain around. A party determined so much, and so was a game of free shots through the rim. Hearts were broken, hopes were shattered, but upon realization of what true love is, Adrian had already lost more than he thought: His Gray Half.

Mr and Mrs Christopher Brown, his parents, were hanging on the thin thread of their marriage, and Aaron knew it was only a matter of time before they would file for a divorce. He cringed each time at the thoughts of his parents separated, and was well aware that his existence was that thin thread joining them both."I'm a woman for lord's sake, quit lying through your teeth Pete, we're no longer in our youthful days, there's..."He loathed it, them fighting. He turned to the clock hanging on the wall,
ADRIANMCCLERON"It's him uh?"The words soaked in displeasure ran out of my mouth the moment I spotted him. I stopped to lean against a locker, and studied him a bit: his brows all furrowed were hovering over his eyes beaming in alertness; fingers folding a fist, ready to pound; and his semi frail body already turning pink, was stuck in the middle of three boys far larger than he was.I immediately deciphered what was happening."I doubt he'd intended to offend him, but I guess that's what happens when you're a do-gooder in glasses."He wasn't in glasses, but I do like to imagine what he'd be like in one: those forest green eyes mostly shaded by a translucent frame, like a f

CHAPTER FOUR: |Fun, lost in blanks| • • •Adrian's eyes sprinted wide upon realising a strange heat kissing his right shoulder, and the same warmth was wrapped about the very exact arm.
CHAPTER FOUR:|Puke All Over Pizza|•••"You know what, we're switching to Vodka."Aaron said, and pulled out a bottle of vodka, lined among other liquor, from the fridge.He held it up, as though he was showing Adrian the label and requesting consent, before making his way back to Adrian.Adrian noticed his chipped front tooth the moment he smiled. It wasn't chipped in a weird way, in fact, it looked cool for the most it. It also did pop out his long face, and his V chin, in a very intriguing manner. Over all, Adrian did find it somewhat attractive."Water?" Adrian regrettably joked.
CHAPTER THREE:|Popular, Hoe, Nerd|• • • "Hey Aiddy, imma text ya the address. Meet us there in a few..." He attempted a response, but she was too impatient to listen, and ended the call. "Damn you Yve!"He scowled at the text that dropped in a second after she hung up. The message had their rendezvous address, and meeting time in it. "There's no turning back now..."He loosened a sigh, and stuffed the phone in his hip pocket. The address seemed close by, so switching outfits did not seem too smart. He had to attend to Yvette with what he had on, which weren't short of a leather jacket, white colour stained t-shirt, and a ripped denim j
CHAPTER TWO:|McCleron!|• • •Morning routines, on a good day, could be likened to one performed in a montage: the alarm's buzz kickstarts the sequence, as you softly peel apart your lids, allowing the blinding rays of sun to attack your retina the second they are open. In a squint you squeeze them shut again, before gently revealing it to the bright radiance that had invaded your room. Without haste, you pull off the thick yellow Winnie the Pooh sheets, and step out of bed, inhale deeply and seep in every cold larking air, warmly laced with rose and curry, and more vaguely lined fragrances you seem very unsure of. Every step and movement you make, is in perfect sync with the sonorous beats and resounding underlaid music as
