Black Feathers

Three seconds. That's the time I spend every day admiring the boy I'm in love with unnoticed. Zero seconds. The time Patrick has devoted to me every day for the past few years since he returned to Columbus to attend high school.I would so much like things to change, but every time I get close to him, I am always left burnt and humiliated. I don't understand why he resents me so much, that he never misses an opportunity to make me feel mistaken.Still, I can't stop thinking about him, until Sawyer, the most antisocial and grouchy boy in school, comes along. I have never had anything to do with him, even though his eyes are often on me. There has always been a safe distance between us but as soon as this was violated, here comes Patrick. I don't know how it happened, but I feel like I'm caught between two fires, and now I don't know which way to turn. A secret that could put an end to that feud or start a real war between Good and Evil.
