TAYA's POV :
"I can't believe today's finally here... the first day of our second semester as high school seniors!" Hallee sighed dramatically as she pulled open her locker door.
"Yeah, winter break went by so fast," Gabe said, leaning his back against the next row of lockers.
"Think about it, in just seven months, we'll all be leaving for college," Hallee squealed as her eyes darted to the collage of NYU stickers all over the insides of her locker wall.
"Have you heard anything from NYU yet?" I asked her.
Our play was a great success and she had sent in footage from our play as her portfolio in her application to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

TAYA’s POV :I’d walk up to him out on the bleachers. He’d put his earphones away once he saw me coming. Standing right in front of him, I’d give him a smile before taking the seat next to him."Hey Jude," I'd say to him like always."Hey Blondie," he'd beam at me with those cute dimples of his.Not gonna lie, I did entertain that thought for a second. I thought of going outside, finding Judah by his usual spot on the bleachers, wearing his signature denim jacket as he laid there under the warm sun. Those were some entertaining thoughts. But then I remembered something else that he told me once."When a guy really likes you, he won't be afraid to tell the whole world about you. Hell, he'd want to tell the whole world about you,"Those words struck a chord in me. I realized it now, if Judah really did like me,

I'm glad my brother finally finds someone,"Blake has talked a lot about me...?Turning my face to the side, I caught a glimpse of him and how enthusiastic he was, talking about politics with his dad.

And the dinner table was amazing. I knew I should be having the time of my life. But honestly, I just didn't know how to fee

TAYA’s POV : Seconds turned into minutes. Minutes turned into hours. I never realized that time moved so slow, until it was finally over. Blake and I just had sex. And it was... It was... I didn't know what it was. I didn't know if that was how it was supposed to feel. "You alright?" he said as he caught his breath, still panting a little, and laying back on his stomach. "Yeah," I muttered, getting up despite the soreness, reaching for my shirt on the floor. "Look, it's your first time. It's okay to feel... awkward. We're gonna keep working at it, and we'll get it right," "Sure," I nodded, giving him my most reassuring smile as I said, "Blake, can you take me home?"

Kissing the Bad Boy 52: The Stop Short
TAYA's POV : I had the weirdest dream last night. And it went something like this: Once upon a time, there lived a princess trapped in a tower guarded by a mighty dragon. Prince Charming came along and he vowed to fight the beast in order to free the princess. But as Prince Charming was busy waging war against the mighty dragon, a sneaky jokester came along and he slipped through the shadows of the tower, until he found his way to the princess's room. The jokester and the princess met and they fell in love. And by the time Prince Charming had won over the dragon, he went up to her room, only to realize that he was far too late. The princess' heart had already belonged to the jokester... "Yo sis, your boyfriend's here!" Kai's sudden yell woke me up into reality. "Mmm yeah, tell him I'll be right down," I mumbled against my pillow, my face was still flushed into it. "I'd use a comb if I were you," Kai snickered, and I rolled my eyes in response. Whipping my head around, I found him

TAYA's POV :"Taya? Baby?" He pleaded. "You're not serious, are you? You're breaking up with me... because I asked you to visit some schools on the East Coast together?"It sounded bad when he said it like that... but that was pretty much the truth.“It’s not just about the schools…”“Then what is it?”“I…”I just don't love you.I paused for a beat before muttering, "I'm sorry,"He looked at me with such disbelief on his face. I was shocked that I said it too, but it felt like the right thing to do. Blake opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. No words came out, and he just stared at me. He must be in such a shock.I really am sorry... If that makes any difference.

What the hell is going on here?" a loud familiar voice spoke suddenly and we all turned our heads around, finding Red standing before us.She gaped as soon as she realized what had happened.
