Chapter 1

High School for most people is a stressful time, filled with deluded thoughts, unnecessary drama and the stench of Teenage Angst.

For High School sophomore Michael Williams, his experience was nothing but ordinary. Meeting the girl of your dreams in the most unexpected of places can have its advantages, but also it's hardships. Iris Warner on the other hand, was not looking for love. She was just trying to fit in, as the new kid in town, with expectations like none other from her increasingly stressful family life. The small town of Filmore, North Carolina wasn't a very memorable place, but for these two teens, it is the beginning of their journey together. New girl, meets awkward boy, this is the story that everyone wants to hear.
