About ME

Penname
Caramelo means sweet or candy in Spanish. My name used to be "Carolina Lace" and before that it was "LexiGurl" but I figured it was time for a change.

Oddities and Other Loose Ends

I have an obsession with Dubble Bubble. Don't ask, just accept it.

I love to play softball.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with rowing out to the middle of the lake in a canoe and standing up in the middle of it, singing "Hey Ya" on a dare. Not that I've done it or anything.

Nothing beats a chocolate chip cookie. Unless it's TWO chocolate chip cookies.

Defining Chivalry
3 Chapters

Graham, a firm believer in math and science, has his world rocked upside down when his family forces him to attend a school of literature. Lots of money, good looks, and a charming personality instantly skyrocket him to the top of the school, so despite his previous misgivings, life isn’t looking that bad. Girls that even he is unaware of vie for his attention, and boys all follow in his tracks.

Life is filled with parties, drinking, and sex, but even so, Graham vaguely grasps that something is missing in his life. Something he desires more than anything. Will he find this in his longtime rival, the queen of the school, Ashlyn, or the shy beauty Halley? What about the only girl that ever meant anything to him in his past that has suddenly returned? Now that you mention it, the misunderstood school slut has a certain quality about her that lures Graham towards her more than all the rest of them combined.

Whoever provides Graham with his missing piece better show up soon, because something drastic is about to happen. Something that will change everybody’s lives forever.
