Chapter 1Vanessa"Don't you think you should wear something that accentuates your curves?" Lillian asked as she lay sprawled across my bed, staring at the ceiling."You are supposed to be helping me, remember?" I muttered, tossing another outfit back into my wardrobe.I'd been searching for something gorgeous to wear to the bonfire, but every single thing I picked up looked awful.Lillian sat up and shook her head."Why don't you just wear a normal dress? You don't have to wear something oversized to cover up your body. Vanessa, your figure is beautiful, and I wish I was half as curvy as you are.""You're just saying that to be nice," I replied.Lillian rolled her eyes dramatically."Why would I lie about something like that?""Because you're my best friend, and that's what best friends do. They make us feel better."She placed a hand on her chest, a dramatic look spreading across her face."Girl, I am not trying to make you feel better. You are so beautiful, and I'm tired of trying

People were pulling out their phones and taking pictures.Cole held my hand, and when we got to his locker, he acted like not a single soul was in that hallway. He stood in front of me and tucked my hair behind my ears. He leaned in, and I was pretty sure everyone standing around us thought he said something romantic, but in truth, he told me not to forget to breathe.And I was blushing so hard I could actually feel my face beginning to warm up."I need to go now," he said softly. "I have a class. Can I kiss you?"Before I could even give an answer, his lips already captured mine, and I literally felt all the air leave my lungs.His lips were so soft, and our mouths moved in perfect harmony.
