Book: Bully by Penelope Douglas

 ★★/★★★★★
 
I was excited to finish this book when I started reading it but I was a bit disappointed by how the story went. The story was confusing and I didn't really get the character of Jared. At first I thought he was just mad at Tate because she did something but then Tate can't remember anything she did that might've hurt him or something. He harassed, bullied and made Tate's life a living hell throughout high school and I thought of everything I could think of why he was so mad at her but didn't really find out until I finished the book. The twist of the story was well written but the way how Jared acted and treated Tate was a bit confusing. Anyway, just read the book if you want to know what I'm talking about.
 
Synopsis from Goodreads: 
My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all. No, he'll barely even speak to me.
But he still won't leave me alone.

We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.

But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin my senior year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.
I'm not going to let him bully me anymore.
 
“Yesterday lasts forever.
Tomorrow comes never.
Until you”
― Penelope Douglas, Bully  

Night That You'll Never Forget by Love and Theft ♫♪



You showed up at the party
You wasn't gonna stay too long
But that all changed up when your song came on
Somebody handed you a cup
So you went with the flow and you filled it on up.

You feel the buzz in your bones
And then you start making the rounds
You know all too well what's about to go down
You say "hold up, I'd better go"
Yeah right, next thing you know...

You look up and it's 2 in the morning
You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
You got your shades on, you got your drink up
Like you're VIP at the nightclub
You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
Night that you'll never forget

Now your phone's filled up
With pictures that you didn't take
And it's you throwing deuces to 'what's her name'
And there's your boys right there
Tailgate poker table all in on a pair.

Here come the country girls
They wanna dance all on ya, wanna rock your world
It was supposed to be a regular night
(regular night)
And now you're like
"to the left, to the left, to the right."

You look up and it's 3 in the morning
You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
You got your shades on, you got your drink up
Like you're VIP at the nightclub
You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
Night that you'll never forget

To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right

You look up and it's 4 in the morning
You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
You got your shades on, you got your drink up
Here's to the nights that memories are made of
You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
Night that you'll never forget

To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right
To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right

I Still...

You keep on pushing me away
You hurt me with every word you say
It feels like dying everyday
What should I do to make you stay?

You don't see the tears I cry
Without you I'd rather die
But I'll accept all these lies
Just don't ever say goodbye...

And with this heart I will keep you
With every piece I'll still love you
Coz I still hope you will do too
I still believe in me and you...

KDrama: Who Are You? School 2015

Main Characters:
Kim So hyun as Go Eun byul/ Lee Eun bi
Yook Sung jae as Gong Tae kwang
Nam Joo hyun as Han Yi ahn

My first School series was School 2013 which I really loved. My sister and I watched it together and it was when we fell in love with Lee Jong suk and Kim Woo bin. :") We loved the story because we can relate to it since it tells the story of students while they're in school and everything that's happening to them. It was such a great drama that we were excited when it was announced that it will be back with Who Are You? School 2015!

Synopsis: Wikipedia
Go Eun-byul and Lee Eun-bi are identical twins separated at birth. Eun-bi lives at House of Love, an orphanage in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, where the younger residents look up to her as a mother figure. However, she hides the fact that she is bullied at school by a gang of mean girls led by Kang So-young, while teachers turn a blind eye.
 On the other hand, Go Eun-byul is the most popular girl at Sekang High School, the most prestigious private high school in Seoul's Gangnam District. Eun-byul's best friends are Cha Song-joo and Lee Shi-jin, and she shares a mutual attraction with Han Yi An, the school's star swimmer. They have been friends since they were 8.
Eun-bi and Eun-byul look exactly alike, but only Eun-byul is aware of the other's existence. Unlike the cheerful Eun-bi, Eun-byul is prickly and secretive. One day, on a school field trip to Tongyeong, Eun-byul mysteriously disappears. At the same time, Eun-bi is unjustly expelled from her school and jumps off a bridge in a suicide attempt. Ten days later, the injured and amnesiac Eun-bi is mistaken for her twin Eun-byul, and the latter's adoptive mother takes her home to Seoul, where she starts living as Eun-byul.

It's also nice that Kim So hyun and Sung jae are the lead characters because I love them both. So hyun looks like Son Ye jin who I also love. :")

Screencaps:
 Kim So hyun looking like Son Ye jin

There's always that one guy in every drama that will make you fall in love because of their "pasaway" character. And for this drama, it's Gong Tae kwang.  Hihi :")


Eun bi: Were you my close friend?
Tae kwang: I doubt it. 
Eun bi: It's funny, huh? That I have to ask such questions whenever I meet someone.
Tae kwang: Well, should I tell you this? You probably don't know since you lost your memory. I didn't accept your feelings for me, but you used to follow me around big time. Texting and calling me. You were such a nuisance.
 Eun bi: I did?
Tae kwang: Yes, you did. 

And then there's the good guy...

 Eun bi: You know what you said yesterday? I was grateful at first, but I thought about it and I got upset. Yi ahn: About what?
Eun bi: I'm what? I have no manners, I'm rude and you sometimes want to smack me? Why are you friends with someone like that?
Yi ahn: Sometimes I wonder that too. 
 
*I like that Yi ahn and Eun byul grew up together that they can joke around about anything and I also like that even though he thinks that Eun bi is Eun byul who just lost her memories, he still treats her the same saying she's rude and have no manners. Lol.


 Tae kwang: What's this?
Yi ahn: Didn't you come to return the bag? You did, so that's that.
Tae kwang: (looks annoyed) No you're wrong. I came here to see Go Eun byul.
Yi ahn: (becomes serious) (taps Tae kwang on the shoulder) See her tomorrow.
 
*It's when Tae kwang starts to show interest in the new Eun byul that Yi ahn starts to get a little protective too. 
 
 Adorable Tae kwang is adorable. :")

 Confidence like this is cute. :")

 Isn't it sweet when someone asks you to skip class with him? HAHAHA xD


 I always feel sorry for the characters like of Tae kwang because no matter how hard he tries, he always knows that he can't have Eun bi. :(

 Eun bi: Hey, Han Yi ahn!
Yi ahn: (stops jogging) What?
Eun bi: My... bike chain came off.
Yi ahn: So what?
Eun bi: I said, my bike chain came off!
Yi ahn: And?
Eun bi: I... can't go to you. I can't go to you... So, can't you come to me?
 Yi ahn: (jogs back to her)

1.. 2.. Smile! :D

Eun bi: Gong tae kwang?What brings you here at this hour?
Tae kwang: I was waiting for you all this time. What else would bring me here?

Now this is sad. :"(

Then there's the night when you tell her what you really feel...
*But... stilll... I like you.
And then the next day, his hair is already black. :(

It's nice that somehow Tae kwang and Eun bi are getting closer but still it hurts for Tae kwang because he knows that friends is all they can be. But who knows, right? I still have two more episodes to finish and I'm yet to find out. 

I'm not sure where their relationship will go but I really wish they end up together. Never mind Yi ahn since he already has Eun byul. Tsk.

 Then there's the surprise kiss. :)

I still have two more episodes to finish and I'm excited to see how all of this will end.  I just hope it will be as good as I expected! :)

UPDATE! 
As expected, Eun bi chooses Yi an. 

And now the heartbreaking part when Tae kwang has to let Eun bi go.
  It hurts when you love someone but you have to let her go.

 END!!

Beautiful To Me by Olly Murs ♫♪


She ties her hair up tight
Puts her armor on when she steps outside
She lives in black and white
And the colour's gone but it's in her eyes

Time and time again we're going back to the start
And I try and try again to bring some light to the dark
You know every day's a battle and it tears her apart
And I don't know why

And I'm picking up the pieces when they fall to her feet
She's been fighting off her demons so she'll never be free
She's been hiding in the shadows yeah it's hard to believe
And I don't know why

Love, don't ever change the way you are
You light the sky just like a star
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful to me
Oh

She, she never gets it right
And it feels like rain on a perfect night
And I, I'd be a hand to hold
You can push me hard, but I won't let go

Time and time again we're going back to the start
And I try and try again to bring some light to the dark
You know every day's a battle and it tears her apart
But, don't you cry,

My love don't ever change the way you are
You light the sky just like a star
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful to me

Love, open your heart and let it go
You're so amazing, don't you know?
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful to me
Oh

The light breaks through your hair and
They all stop and stare and
I'd go anywhere
Oh, why can't you just see that?
I'm crazy about you
I can't live without you
You don't see it,
But you're beautiful to me

Love, don't ever change the way you are
You light the sky just like a star
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful
Oh

Love, don't ever change the way you are
You light the sky just like a star
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful to me
Come on

Love, open your heart and let it go,
You're so amazing, don't you know?
I don't care what you see
You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful to me

- Somewhere between the lines of this song I fall in love. :")
