"I told you, I try not to associate with anyone at school," he repeated. Dismay washed over Aida after being lumped in with everyone else, but she decided to be relentless. "Well, I'm not really from our school." A slight twinge of blush came to her cheeks at using the word "our." "I'm from another school in Connecticut... I only just got to this one."He frowned, but it still looked good on him. "That's not what I meant.""I'm not wrong though," stated Aida.Suddenly, the elusive Mr. Lawnmower stood up, wiped his reddened, calloused hands on his already dirty jeans, and walked over to Aida. He stood very close to her, to the point where she could smell gasoline, grass, and a twinge of oak from a cologne. Aida's breathing slowed, wondering what he was doing. Her legs threatened to take an automatic step back, but the rest of her body was unable to comply.---Aida's life changes for (what she hopes) is the better when her little family moves to California. Her father's job relocates them, gives him a generous pay raise, and plops them in the middle of a wealthy suburban town. Aida flies under the radar for as long as she can at her school, but her newfound wealth starts to attract the attention of the stuffy, gossiping, rich kids... but not Mr. Lawnmower - the loner boy who mows her lawn. After being told to avoid him, Aida isn't sure if she wants his attention, but manages to wrap herself into a dirty mess that involves it, which will include some muffins, peppermint vodka, a house-mansion with a mysterious past, and a lawn mower.---From the author of Midnight: When the Wolves Come Out (293k reads).

"Is that what you do for your job?" he asked, confused at what I was trying to tell him."It's a service really," I corrected. I hated it when people tried to make that distinction."Oh. I'm sorry. I'm still not understanding, though."The nitwit. It's not that hard."I go on blind dates. For money."He continued to gaze straight into me, his electric blues still not comprehending. Do I really need to clarify further?"I run a website, offering blind dates for people when they're lonely. They plug in a couple traits they want and I become that person. The computer chugs out what they need and I comply.""Why?"I mentally slapped myself. It wasn't that difficult.~Coming from the writer of Midnight, When the Wolves Come Out; Lust; Under the Surface; Death Doesn't Due Us Part; You May Know Me As... and more.I've decided to try my hand at some first person POV and some romance/humor/teenish fiction.

"Tell us about it," one said, "being nervous. Is your heart racing?" An air of urgency was breathed in by all within the room. They took a stethoscope to her chest."I was not nervous. I would have been fine to present the project." She tried to put a mask on her face in order to hide the emotions."These tests are showing that you have something we need to do to you."She stared blankly at the wall in a look of lost hope. All the feeling in her head drained the full way down to her feet. Her emotions dropped and a world of her own seemed to collapse again.***Nervousness is no longer an emotion in the United States.Plagued by a long, evil war, the government, also known as "The Matriarchy," is thinking up all the ways they can to put an end to it and finally come out as the victorious country. They try everything they know of to enhance their soldiers and their battles, until finally settling on something, accidentally eliminating certain emotions in the process for the rest of society.Two high school girls seek out the secret that is being kept from the people of the United States, but secrets tend to be most people's ultimate ruin.
