They spend the party together,and then never see each other again...untill the two of them run into eachother on valentines day. Single, and craving a big pink box of chocolates.3) "What are you looking forward to doing during this upcoming Winter Break?", my mom asks. I didn't want to tell her what I was actually doing so I lied and said, "Going to Cancun, Mexico with Brian" Even though I knew we broke up, 2 weeks ago...4)Write abut anything that's on your mind! I tell myself. My mind was blank, I never thought writing a book could be so difficult. Anything, just anything.
