A love story for teens by a teen with no love life.

Update!

See, the problem with me posting to this blog as I write is that when I move the story in a different direction, or add something new in, any readers (if there are any) become lost and confused.
So we are clear on everything for the next couple of chapters, here are some things that you as the reader should know, but probably don't, because the information was not included in the previous chapters like it would have been if, say, you were reading a second draft instead a first draft:
  • Chantel, Amy and Cara match -- they have the same side-swept bangs and typically dress in very matchy clothing
  • Jake does not know about the whole Amy thing that Annika went through (actually you should know this) but he seems to know her well otherwise, to the point where she sometimes wonders whether she'd already told him something or if he's seen her file
  • As Annika has fought to regain her status and friendship with Amy, she's lost her creativity *note: this is a major change! This means that her dress was probably also navy and black, her shoes the same as everyone else, etc. She kind of came to realize that the thing that originally was liked for (not wearing the trends the way everyone else does) was something that was keeping her from being with the "in" crowd
  • Have you noticed how perfect the relationship between Jake and Annika is? You should have, that I have been trying to show
  • Annika is a little obsessed with Amy, Chantel and Cara 
I would love to hear whether any of this you already knew or not (most of it I don't expect, cause I did decide to add it in later). I would also love to hear of what you think about Annika and Jake's relationship: do you think it's perfect? Do you find it at all odd/unrealistic or do you think they are just well paired? 
Anyways, if I think of anything else you should know, I'll let you know, otherwise, expect a new chapter section soon!
