CLICHÉ She's the dancer and he's the "misunderstood" artist. So what do they have in common? Absolutely nothing, except he's stuck in his own world and she in hers, until he's forced to go watch her dance, then he can think of nothing else but being in her world, no matter what it takes.

Darren Novaleski is a force to be reckoned with. He dresses in baggy black clothes and hardly speaks. He spends all his free time in the art room, working on whatever his new project is. During his last year at high school he lurks in the shadows just like he's done since his freshman year. He's the "big man on campus" but he absolutely hates the attention. All the girls want the "mysterious bad boy" and all the guys want to be him and invite him to every party imaginable, but he always declines.

Catarina Haringer has danced since she was 8. She has perfect technique and loves every minute of it. On the dance floor she's unstoppable, but off, she's quiet and shy. Her mother pressures her from every angle, schoolwork, dance, and the way she looks. The guys of the school have made it a bet to see who could date her; she'd never been on a date and didn't plan on it.

Darren's brother Anthony, a jock and hot shot, determined to get his brother out and into the "social scene," takes him on a double date, going to one of the school plays. One of the hottest girls in school in hanging on his arm the whole time, but then she steps out. From the first time he sees her dance he can't get her out of his mind. Their eyes meet for a moment and sparks fly.

The only problem is, the first time he tries to talk to her, she blows him off. She has no interest in him, or at least that's what she tells herself. He'll do anything to get the one that finally means something to him.

Send me a message and tell me what you think. It's just an idea I'm playing with and it may change later, but it's a start! So please, the number of reviews I get determines how often (or even if) I get chapters out.
