It was no longer a mysterious place in Melody's imagination, filled with endless possibilities and hooks on which to hang hopes for a better tomorrow. It was completely - boringly - normal. Like meeting an online crush after months of e-flirting, the reality didn't live up to the fantasy.

Not just in Teen Vogue but in Seventeen and CosmoGirl as well. They were all about being yourself, staying natural, loving your body as is, and going green! The messages were the exact opposite of Vik and Viv's.Hmmmmm. Frankie turned to face the full-length mirror that was up against the yellow wardrobe. She opened her robe and examined her body.

And beating him with the Eiffel Tower snowglobe while he kissed Cleo in French would have been tres cathartic. But she hadn't. Instead she'd been egg-like: a hard shell on the outside, and a runny mess on the inside.","author":"Lisi Harrison","tags":["acting-civilized","crush","jealousy","repressing-emotions","school"],"id":141223,"author_id":"Lisi+Harrison"},{"text":"One by one, drops fell from her eyes like they were on an assembly line - gather, fall, slide...Gather, fall, slide...Each one commemorating something she had lost.
