Author's Note: Hello there! I haven't updated in freaking forever, please don't shoot me. My writing style has changed a lot, so this story is likely going to sound different, but I hope you people like it anyway… School and normal life have me insanely busy and I just don't have the time do update every day anymore D: But I'll try to post stuff on the weekend still. Review please? I reply to everyone who isn't anonymous (:
