Highlights of Chapter 6!

They can’t don’t know what it feels like how I feel.

I wish this wasn’t real.  My heart needs time to heal.

‘Cause the classroom school world is can be a scary place.

I want to hide my face. But I know I have to face

All the bad things that come to me my way.

I’ll I swear I’ll know what to do figure this it out someday.

You Give me are my kindness comfort light when I cry the sky is dark.

I want to smile be happy again. You are a home to my restless heart

It isn’t too hard. You don’t have to do much.

Just be my friend and smile

Just be my friend until ‘till the end

Just hold my hand and be my friend

And promise you'll stay ‘til the end

You make me feel better, I have to say I must confess

So for that I have a special question request

And please smile, please smile, don’t forget to please smile for me.

Being myself isn’t cool a choice an option.

Too bad But it’s what I do best.

I don’t want to be someone else

I’m happy with being myself

No one is can be can reach perfect perfection

But I guess that's one thing they forgot to mention

If they won’t be themselves they’re the same as just like the rest.

That's one of All the bad things that come my our way

I’ll We’ll figure this out someday.

You are my light when the sky is dark

You are a home to my restless heart

Just hold my hand and be my friend

And promise you'll stay til the end

You make me feel better , I must confess

So for that I have a special request

Please smile, please smile, please smile for me.

Although things change may change

I hope we don’t change stay the same.

Playing our instruments together forever

With the this music we make.

We did it made it together.

They’ll see we made it survived

The skies are have cleared

I am feel happy again

You did all I asked for you could

It was all I could ask for

And all you did was smile

You smiled, you smiled for me.

Of course I had to choose this for the highlight!!! (But I sure was tempted to choose something else, that's for sure.) This was probably MY first song as much as it was Lizzie's. This song is titled "Duncan's Song" for obvious and sweet reasons. A song about how much she values his friendship and how, no matter what, they can get through the day. She can get through the day just by seeing his happy, smiling face. I think we all have that one friend that we cherish in our lives that can make us feel better with a smile and some conversation. For Lizzie, that person is Duncan. 
If you forgot by any chance, you can LISTEN to this song!! Along with the others here on SoundCloud. I hope you give it a listen if you haven't yet. Janica and I worked really hard on it! Thank you so much for your love and support. It means the world to me! Keep up with the rest of the highlights from here, until the anniversary!

Highlights of Chapter 5!

A light bulb went on before he could take the picture and I reached into my bag. I pulled out the wires and held them up. “It wouldn’t be the same, oui?” I said, smiling and placing them on me so I looked like I still had them on. As much as I hated them, it was all because of them that I made such amazing friends. Without them, I don’t know what will happen, but I’m not expecting much. I just wanted things to stay the same, and I wanted to keep performing with Duncan and Marina. But something in me also wanted things to be different. I just wanted people to stop teasing me and I wanted to be looked at and not be pitied off the bat. I’ll be able to be more of myself; something I’ve wanted for so long. It was time to be happier and to smile more. With my friends and my music, my life will change in the best ways possible. I was sure of it!

AND THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED. But was it for better or for worse?? Well, if you read the book, then you'd know! Now that Lizzie's wires come off, so much opens up for her in her life and at first she fails to realize this at first. This was just one of those moments where something so simple as getting some metal headgear removed, changes the entire story. Maybe that sounds a little too dramatic.. hah! Oh well~

Told you I'd be posting these close together! Thanks so much for liking, commenting, and sharing this post!! Your support means the entire world to me! Get ready for the next few highlights and I hope you're enjoying these.

Highlights of Chapter 4!

“Mmm, you still got it in ya, Frankie.” The woman said, who I presumed to be Mrs. Tidmen. “I’ll never get tired of dancing with you.”

“Neither will I, darling.” He said back to her. She rested her head on his shoulder and he leaned his head on hers. “Will you stay forever?”

“Oh dear,” she breathed, moving her head back to look at him. “The big man up there may not allow it.” She smiled at him softly, trying to make light of the topic I wished I didn’t understand. It would have hurt a lot less that way.

He looked at her with droopy eyes that silently pleaded for a serious answer. But he knew that it would hurt more that way. “Oh, he must be missing an angel.”

“Such a charmer.” She said, placing her hand gently on his cheek. 

His eyes were still sad, but he pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead. It was a kiss I had only seen mama and papa do before, and I suddenly felt like crying. A kiss so deep and pleading and sad could mean a few things. But by how they were talking, it sounded like Mrs. Tidmen didn’t have much time left to live. Without even realizing it, I was crying and choking on my sobs while trying to hold them back. 

“I love you, Doris.”

“I love you too, Frankie… I love you too.”

It was actually pretty difficult to choose a favorite part in Chapter 4, but I ended up choosing this one. Mr. and Mrs. Tidmen make me so very happy yet so very, VERY sad. I don't think I have to explain as to why. They're one of the older couples in Found that truly show this pure and loving relationship to Lizzie and reminds her of her parents.

The next highlights may come a bit quicker and closer together, because WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE ANNIVERSARY! Can you tell that I'm stoked? Well, thank you again for liking, commenting, and sharing! Your support means the world to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Highlights of Chapter 3!

“Duncan!” Marina shouted, skipping over to him happily. “Look, Lizzie braided my hair! Isn’t it pretty?”

I followed behind her and met Duncan’s eyes before he looked up at Marina and nodded. “Yeah, it looks great. Did you say thank you?” His gaze went back to me and he grinned a little.

“Oh!” Turning to me, Marina smiled brightly, her brown eyes looking a lot less puffy than before. “Thank you, Lizzie. For a lot…” She made sure to soften her voice for the second part and I shook my head.

“You’re welcome. Any time!” I smiled back at her before nodding my head to Duncan. “Maybe I can braid Duncan’s hair sometime.”

Before turning around, I saw the same giddy expression from before and she giggled the same way. “You know, I think Duncan would love that.”

I looked at Duncan, his cheeks turning pink. I don’t know what my face looked like, but when he looked at me, he quickly stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. “Oh, shut up…” He mumbled. I couldn’t help but laugh along with Marina as the bell rang and we got into line.

OH MY HEART. Sorry, I couldn't hold that in. These three are just so special to me and although chapter three is pretty short, it's lovely. It's the first time you really get to see these three interact with each other and I think it's a lovely start. From here, Marina pops up a lot more in the story since she gets closer to Lizzie. Unless you've read the book, you don't see what happens to them in the chapter before this snippet, but it makes my heart happy.

Thank you for reading this post! I'm having a lot of fun already just reading through my book again. I can't wait to post up the rest of my favorite snippets! So stayed tuned to see the rest of them. Make sure to like, comment, and share this post to support me! Your support means the world and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Highlight of Chapter 2!

When I first listened to it, I had recently gotten my braces and headgear. All the kids were teasing me in school and I was hiding in the bathroom. I wanted to cry and just disappear but I couldn't. All I could do was hide alone and wish for the metal on my face and teeth to be gone. I felt like quitting and calling home when I faintly heard the lyrics.
The lyrics lightened my heart a bit and I continued to listen. As the song went on, I stepped out of the stall and over to the sinks. The music was louder now and my heart seemed to get even lighter. Even though I didn't like my reflection, I started to smile. For the first time after getting my braces, I genuinely smiled at my reflection.
Ah yes, my highlight from chapter two, of Found! This part is probably one of my favorites because this is when Lizzie really started to fall in love with music. Music had saved her and I feel like it's shown here for the first time. It showed how she herself was going through this tough change in her life, and the song she heard made her feel better. I'd like to think that other people were saved by music at some point in their life, too.
Now what about you? What part in chapter two was your favorite? Now, I have another favorite part that I love for different reasons. But if I said that one, it'd be a huge spoiler! So this one was the obvious choice. Stay tuned for more chapter highlights as we approach the 1 Year Anniversary of Found going on sale!
