The bell rang, and we all moved to take our trays to the dishwasher. I was trying to imagine whether Caelyn would be happy or not about my intended gift, so I really wasn’t paying much attention to where I was walking, my eyes focused on the half brownie I’d left uneaten in the corner of the tray. I jerked my head up as I crashed into the back of the boy in front of me. I watched in horror as my opened, but untouched, milk carton tipped over to soak the back of his dark, blue shirt, from the middle of his back to his waist. It would be my luck that Wendy was right across from me in the second line. She doubled over with laughter, dropping her own tray to the ground with a resounding clatter. Every head in the lunchroom turned in our direction.
My face was so hot I felt like my head might explode. I wanted to run away…desperately. But my feet remained frozen to the floor, my face a mask of horror, waiting for the wrath of the human in front of me to rain down on my head. He turned around slowly, his large, brown eyes full of shock. I’d seen him around the school. A senior. My heart bounced out palpitations of fear.
Despite that, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful he was.
“Wow…that is cold!” Not exactly what I was expecting, but he could have said way worse.
“I-I-Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” I stammered.
He smiled…smiled…at me then. It was one of those smiles that you know the person is putting their whole heart into. His brown hair fell over his forehead, to one side, in careless bangs, the rest was long, tied into a ponytail that fell halfway down his back. Before he’d turned around I hadn’t missed that the ends of it were also milksoaked, like his poor shirt. He had full lips that were the perfect shade of pink, like the inside of a seashell. They were spread wide in that cherubic smile of his. Despite my terror, I was instantly smitten.

Maura’s life just can’t get any worse…or can it?
Isolated and sheltered by her lonely mother, Maura’s never been the best at making friends. Unusually pale with a disease-like aversion to the sun, she seems to drive her classmates away, but why?
Even her own father deserted her, and her mother, before Maura was born. Bizarre physical changes her mother seems hell bent on ignoring, drive Maura to fear for her own life. And her luck just seems to get worse.
Life is about to become even more bewildering when her mother’s abrupt…and unexplained…decision to move a country away sets off a chain of events that will change Maura forever. A cruel prank turned deadly, the discovery of love and friendship….and its loss, as well as a web of her own mother’s lies, become obstacles in Maura’s desperate search for a truth she was never prepared to uncover.
