You Know Me Well David Levithan Mga Nobela at Kwento

"For them, for us, right now, after everything that happened, don't think about anyone, be it Hart or Arshen. I will only count on you, the twins, and myself, from now on. I don't want to be bothered by their opinions, their wishes, let alone their demands. In this world now, there are only the four of us and for me that is enough, so I hope it is enough for you and the twins." I think, since I was little I have made David my idol. I followed him everywhere and was more obedient to him than to my own two older brothers, so now, every word David said felt easier to accept and digest. I looked into his eyes and found a pleasant calm there. When was the last time I felt so calm just by looking

“I know, I know all this David but I'm tired. I want to live for myself from now on, not for my father, not for anyone. I need this spare time for myself, I need this little luxurious feeling of not having to worry about anything for once. Please, let me have this.” “Mason, you are an adult,” David rubs his eyes wearily, “You can't be feeling love sickness at this point of your life, you can’t be thinking with your heart, you can't halt your life for this Leo guy.” “It's not for Leo, we are not even on good terms right now,” I blurted out, “And I'm still trying to get to know him and I want to get to know him more.” David avoids my gaze and stares at the ground, his hand soothing Kai’s back

He closed his book and put it back on the bookshelf before returning to the couch and leaning his head on his hand. "May I recite it to you?" It was a timid attempt of redemption, and though in her chest her heart was trying to relearn its delicate waltz, she gave a slow nod before placing her hands in her lap and gazing into the fire. The disjointed rhythm of her heart dimmed as phantom-limbed memories gathered in her throat and scratched against her skull to get out. Scratching, scratching, scratching. "There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream; the earth and every common sight to me did seem appareled in celestial light: the glory and the freshness of a dream..."

Taylor's POV It's finally the end of university life. Goodbye to examinations, teachers, detention; those are finally over for good. It is the beginning of adulthood that I was excited about. I've always been so busy with my university life that I never noticed when time flew by and it's already the end of my school journey. It feels like yesterday that Zach asked me to become his date for the graduation party. On the other hand, I was still keeping contact with Liam. There was once when we were talking to each other and by the tone of his voice, I knew it was because of a girl. He finally confessed that he was dating Melissa.

“Did you sleep okay?” Lotte nodded, even though it was a lie. She had barely gotten any sleep as she continued to make peace with the idea of finding her own place. Taking a seat at the table, the girl could hardly get a few bites in before she felt her eyes start to water once again. She needed to pull herself together, if anything, because she didn't want Levi worrying about her being upset. In such a short span of knowing him, the girl could feel what an empath he was. She liked that so much about him, and truly hoped that the boy would keep being her friend after she moved out. She could see the two of them going to catch a movie from time to time, and getting lunch together. It was such

Leah said. “I know,” I said, which felt like progress. She looked at me with the specific Leah expression that meant she was pleased with something but wasn’t going to be obvious about it. “Who are you,” she said. “You never just buy things.” “I’m someone whose life went completely sideways for four weeks and came out the other side,” I said. “Apparently that does things to your relationship with impulse purchases.” “Good things,” she said. “Good things,” I agreed. We had coffee at a place David had texted me about, because he’d been in this city his whole life and had opinions, and his opinion on this particular place was that it was the best in Minneapolis which was a strong claim that tur

the guy I was looking at earlier asks. Startled I look over at him in shock. My eyes wide and my mouth dropped I just stare at him. He chuckles lightly. “I’m David… What’s your name?” he asks. I smile. “My name is Olivia, but my friends call me Livy.” He smiles “Well it’s nice to meet you Livy. So why are you reading here anyway?” he asks. My smile widens... “I’m here with my friend. I’m just waiting for her.” I tell him.

Something about him felt familiar but I couldn't place where I might have seen him before. "Valeria Daelmont?" he asked, his smile widening when I nodded. "I thought that was you, though I almost didn't recognize you. You look incredible." "Thank you," I replied, still trying to figure out who he was. "I'm sorry, have we met?" "A long time ago," he chuckled. "It's me David. David Lancaster. We attended the same school, though I was two years ahead of you." David. The name clicked into place along with the memory of Luka telling me about his friend who'd supposedly had a crush on me, the friend who'd lied about me rejecting him. This was that David, standing here after all these years looking

"Next week... can I live with you or you can get me an apartment really close to your place?" "Sure I'll do that, I'll be expecting you...." I hung up and smiled, I've been friends with David since kindergarten, our fathers are friends so we practically grew up together, even our parent knows that we are inseparable but I didn't expect them to do this for us. "Is that a friend from new york?" Layla's voice jerked me out of my thought and I turned to look at her, she has dressed up already, and I'm still naked with my big man dangling around.

Emma’s POV **Diary Entry – Zurich:** *Zurich is breathtaking, with the lake shimmering under the sun. As I stand by the water, I hear a familiar voice—David. My heart warms at the sound, even though I know he’s forbidden to me. David, with his kindness and the way he makes me feel special, is someone I can’t truly have. I’m not worthy of him, and I fear what Michael might do if he finds out about our connection. When David confesses his feelings, I’m torn. I tell him I’m not good enough, that I can’t give him what he deserves. But when he asks for just one date, I can’t say no. I want to feel cherished and loved, even if just for a day. The time we spend together is magical—he shows me what
