Chapter 1
Dreams do Come true if you wish
hard enough
How do I start this story, well I guess

I could start from the beginning. But first,
like almost every good story starts with
introductions. Hi, my name is Madeline
Selene Murry. I’m 17 and I love reading. I
have brown hair, kinda long but not too
long. As some have told me, perfect brown
eyes. I don’t think of myself as fat or skinny,
3
to be honest for me I don’t believe it is
necessary to have an inbetween. Some
people say the people in between are thick.
But little do they realize it’s the same thing
as being fat. If you ever get a chance or
think you can prove me wrong then look up
the dictionary definition. In the dictionary
the synonyms for thick are chunky, fat,
hard, heavy, and massive. The thing is I
don't think of myself as thick either. What
am I don’t know, but I’m going to a different
topic now. I’m five, five in a half and I got
4
Treasurly High School. I’m friends with
quite a few factions. First you have the
popular kids, which I call the Regina
Gerorges, because they sometimes act like
they own the school. A Lot of them think
they are in charge of your hair, clothes and
the length of your hair and how it should
look. Then there’s the semi popular ones,
who I call the Wannbees. I started calling
them that because they want the popularity
status to be as high as the Regina George's.
Which I sometimes call the Gerorges,
5
because saying the full name can sometimes
be tiring. The Wannabees are almost as bad
as the Georges. They walk around and tell
the Castys and Zestys what to do. Because
they just think they're like that, they think
it’s cool. Next in line is the Zestys, they’re all
the non straight ones and that's how they
got their name. The Zestys have two
factions. The popular Zestys and the semi
popular Zestys. They act the same way as
the Georges and Wannabees but in their
own zesty way, in their own non straight
6
way. Then last of all there are the Castys,
they are the ones that don't fit into the
other factions. Some are the quiet ones,
some are the loud ones and then some are
the Emo ones. Yeah you could add factions
to those, but if I’m being truly honest there
is no point. There are plenty of them, but if
you look at the very end they are all outcast
and that's how they got their name. I have a
whole bunch of friends in both of them so I
don’t actually say I belong to a specific
faction. Moving on, I have one baby brother
7
who is three months old and that's it for the
siblings. I think that enough of the
Introductions and lets get into the story. I
lay in bed reading Sweet Peril by Wendy
Higgins, my mom is in the living room
watching my baby nephew play with his
toys. I am now reading this part in the book
where Kaiden Rowe is about to make love
to Anna. I close the book and sit there for a
second and start thinking of what it would
be like for a guy to like me in that type of
way, or to like me at all. I am not pretty and
8
skinny like all the other girls. I think back to
that one guy in third grade, his name was
Lucas Walton. I liked him for as long as I
can remember. We were sitting on the
carpet at school, and I was trying to keep
myself from looking at him. The teacher
Mrs. Dudson was reading a book to us, I was
rocking back and forth with my backpack
on, and he was behind me. About the third
time rocking back and forth I fell and kissed
him. Or at least I thought I did. I was so
happy, when it was time to get on the bus I
9
could not stop smiling. Fifth grade I wrote
him a love note. I guess you could say I was
in love with him, but one day this guy
named Brody Shela asked me, “How are you
going to have kids? He is like ten inches
shorter than you. So, you tell me how that is
going to work?” And I thought about it all
day and all night long, he was right, how
would I ever have children? Yes, he would
grow at some point, but what about our
relationship now? I came out of that daze
and my mom was yelling for me to get my
10
baby brother Ty'rell. ‘’ Madelne, can you get
Ty’rell for a second?’’ ‘’ Mom, I am coming.”
She does this all the time, during every
school year, which is the only time I can get
and read any books. Except the ones in my
room of course but have read those books
at least one hundred times. I keep him and
play with him until his mother gets here,
which is my sister. When she gets here, I
hand her Ty’rell and run to my room to read
while I still can. When I get to my room, I
look all around and tell myself my room
11
needs a very deep cleaning. I try to tidy up a
little bit, but it does not really help. My
mom comes into my room and hands me
the new iPhone fifteen. Mom, if this is some
type of joke it is not funny. These phones
cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
“Oh, honey this is why we were being so
hard on you.’’ We wanted to make sure you
were ready, but it has made you feel like
you are not good enough. You are not even
talking about school that much anymore or
any of your friends. Honey I am so sorry I
12
did not see this sooner, please forgive me
and your father.’’ ‘’ Well, if this is not some
kind of joke, thank you so much.’’ She hands
me the phone and walks away; I turn it on
and just stare at it. Then I decided that it
was her fault she handed me this phone, so
I am going to use this phone. I download
snapchat, ticktock and Instagram. I added
all my friends and put the numbers they
gave me on my phone. A notification that
someone snaps me pops up. I tap on the
13
notification, and it opens snapchat. It is
from my best friend Ella, and it says,
Ella: You want to believe what I found
out.
I text her back at once and say,
Me: What did you find out??
It takes her awhile to respond, and
then she finally texts back,

14
Me: You know the guy you like?
I text her back,
Me: Which one?
And you will not believe what she
texted back to me,
15
Me: The one you were obsessed with...
Lee Kurtz!
Me: You know you cannot joke with me
like that, this is not funny.
Ella: I know she says, I am not trying to
be funny, just listen to what I have to say.
Elly was trying to get with him, and she
noticed that he did not seem like he was
interested in him, and she asked him if he
had a girlfriend. He said no he likes
16
someone else, and you know Elly would not
let that go so she asked who it was, and he
said that it was you and told Elly to give his
number to me to give to you.
After she finished typing, she sent me
his number. I sit there and stare at it
freaking out. Ella texted back and says,
Ella: Text him now!
17
So, I put his number in my phone, and I
text Ella,
Me: What do I say?
She told me to tell him Hi and tell him
who it was and that my friend gave me this
number. I text him,
Me: Hi, this is Madeline, my friend gave
me your number. I don't really know why,
18
they told me to tell one of my friends to give
it to you.
I reread it a couple of times and the last
time I hit send.
Me: Ella oh my gosh I sent it, if this is
some crazy joke, I am gonna beat you up so
bad!
Right after I get done sending that last
text to Ella he texts back,
19
Lee: HI, yes, I told Elly to tell her friend
Ella, who as far as I remember was your
best friend, to give you my number. I just
thought it has gone on far too long.
Me: What has been going on far too
long? I think I know what you are talking
about, but I just want to make sure we are
talking about the same thing.
20
Lee: You know exactly what I’m talking
about.
Me: Ok so we’re talking about this?
Me: I don’t know what there is to say. I
think you have made yourself very clear,
you don’t like me.
Lee: How do you know what I mean? I
could have been scared. Maybe I didn’t

21
want to mess it up. And maybe I wanted to
make sure I could stay focused on my
school and grades.
Me: Ok, sorry for assuming I knew
what you meant.
Me: What did you mean then?
Lee: I just told you what I meant I was
scared that I would mess up and I wouldn’t
be focused on school.
22
Me: You could have told me that,
instead of putting us both through all this
weird awkwardness.
Lee: Sorry, I thought you would think I
was saying no.
Me: Well, that’s what it felt like.
Lee: So, do you want to hang out
sometime?
23
Oh my gosh, freaking Lee Kurtz just
asked me if he wanted to hang out. I get my
favorite pillow and scream into it. Then I
pick up my phone and text him back,
Me: Yeah, sure.
Lee: What about today?
Oh my gosh he wants to hangout
today!! Then I start thinking she won't ever

24
let me. I ran into the kitchen anyway and
tried, but instead of saying his name I just
said my best friend, Ella. She said yes and I
ran back to my room and screamed on my
pillow again. I pick up my phone and text
him back,
Me: Sure, what time?
Lee: What about at 6?
Me: That works
25
Lee: Good, see you in a little bit.
I go to my closet and open the door to
see what I’m about to and as soon as I open
the door, I see all these expensive clothes, I
find a note that says,
Hey, honey, I was trying to figure out
how I wanted to surprise you with your
phone, and I was going to put it in your
closet with a note and I saw all your clothes
26
and shoes and thought you could use some
new ones. I also got you a set of hair
supplies in the box in the back corner of the
closet. Hope you like your new phone, new
clothes, shoes, and hair supplies. Love, Mom
Chapter 2
Getting Ready
Of course I look through all the clothes.
And let me tell you that they were super
cute. I came up on this cute leather crop
27
top. I took it off the hanger and found some
cute gray Nike sweatpants to go with the
crop top. I looked at all the new shoes my
mom got me and picked out a pair of Yezzi
slides. I found a cute black and white
scrunchie and looked through the hair
supplies. I found a curling iron and put it
with all my stuff. I go to the bathroom and
take a shower. I get out, brush my teeth and
do my hair. I go back to my bedroom and
put on some Victoria
28
Secret Vanilla lotion and start getting
dressed. As I’m about to put on some lip
gloss I get a text, I go grab my phone off my
bed and see who texted me.
Lee: Send me your address.
Me: ok it is, 1341 Carbora rd. Brook VA
24553. It might take you the wrong way
and if it does just make sure u can see a
bridge and by the bridge there is a road
going up to your left and two other roads to
29
your right. Take the road that leads to the
house with the white gate surrounding it.
Lee: Ok, see you in a minute.
I put my lip gloss on and told my mom
I’m waiting outside for her. As soon as I step
foot outside, I see a car I walk to my gates,
and It’s Lee and some other dude in the car.
I got up to the car and waved, Lee got out
and opened my door. I get in and before he
closes the door, I say thank you. I expect
him to get back in the front seat but instead
30
he sits in the back seat with me. Lee
introduces me to the older guy in the car,
who now I know is his brother. He drives
up to a nice house and we both get out and
his brother drives away. Lee takes me to the
house we go in, “Is this your house,” I ask?
“Yeah.,” he says. “Wow It’s so big and
beautiful I say.” “Please it’s nothing
compared to your house. Just driving down
that driveway felt like I was driving down
some rich person's house. Not to mention
once you get there, everything looks like
31
royalty.” “Well, I don’t think so your house
totally beats mine.” He laughs and takes me
to this huge living room. We sit on one of
the couches, “What do you want to do
today?,” he asks me. “I don’t know what to
say.” “Wanna watch a movie?” “Sure.,” I say,
He puts on a movie and hits pause, “Do you
want popcorn and anything to drink?” “No
thank you I say.” He looks at me like I’m
crazy and takes my hand and takes me to
the kitchen. “Butter or no butter?” No
butter I say. We just stare at each other for
32
a few minutes, before I ask to break the
silence, “where are your parents?” I ask. In
Las Vegas he is still staring at me. Oh, I say
with a kind of embarrassed look on my face,
realizing how weird that question sounds. I
think you need to lay down, he says, you
look super pale. I laugh and say I’m fine. I’m
always really pale looking after I take a
shower. You are sure, you're almost as
white as me. I laugh so hard until my
stomach starts to hurt. When I finally get
control of myself, I say, I’m positive. He
33
pulls out his phone and opens his snapchat
camera and hands it to me. I look at myself
and say I’m fine, I’m paler than usual but it’s
nothing iron and the sun can’t fix. He looks
at me and says, "I think you should lay
down." Before I could say I’m fine he’s
taking me up the steps. He opens a door to
what I’m guessing is his room and takes me
to his bed and tells me to lay down. “I’m
fine, I say.” Just lay down, I want to make
sure you are ok. I lay down so he wouldn’t
start begging me, he sat down beside me.
34
He takes my hand, and we just stay like that
for a long time. He finally lays down just
like I am, He takes a piece of hair that fell in
my face and tucks it behind my ear. I really
like your hair like this. Thanks, I say, trying
not to blush. How do you feel? I’m Ok, like I
said I just need some sun or iron or both.
Can I ask you a question? Yes, of course.
Yeah, I’ve only known you for a few years,
but I was wondering, did you know I was
the one from the beginning? The first year I
knew you, everyone was obsessed with you
35
and to be honest I didn’t see the big deal
about you that first day, or so that’s what I
told myself. But there was one thing that
kept pulling me towards wanting to know
more about you. I kept remembering the
way you introduced yourself. That’s when I
started liking you, but I kept telling myself
don’t let this crush turn into something else,
focus on school and not guys. But I guess
that didn’t work out too well, now did it?
No, I guess not, he says looking down at our
hands. I have another question; how many
36
guys were before me? Really? Yeah, I’m just
curious. Well since you asked me, I was
dating this guy from this other school, but
we broke up, because I still liked you. He
goes a little red, my hair falls back in my
face. He moves my hair out of my face and
tucks it back behind my ear. I flinch at the
feel of his skin, not because it’s cold or hot,
or not even because he shocked me. Like
electrical shock or whatever I’m still just
not used to him touching me. To him being
all mine, or at least I hope so. With that
37
thought I pull myself back into reality
embarrassed. I was even thinking about
that and we just started talking officially.
You ok he says? Of course, why wouldn’t I
be? I don’t know, It’s just the way you're
looking. I just have some stuff on my mind.
Wanna talk about it? I don’t think you want
to hear what's on my mind. Sure, I do, I
always want to hear what's on your mind.
Before I know I know I'm going to say it I
blurt out, so what exactly does all of this
mean? I say motioning around me. Ummh
38
well, what do you want this to mean? I don’t
know how you feel so let's start there. Then
will you be honest about how you feel no
matter what I say? Of course. Well, I really
do like you, I actually more th
