Caylie Anne is like my sister and best friend--one of my only cousins here in Australia. Since my family migrated here a few years back, I think I pretty much knew here--her taste in fashion, her humour and how she always seemed to set her sights on Hollywood's leading teen men. Our friendship was perfect, it always was. Then here comes Vanilla. Vanilla's porcupine-like brown hair, tall figure and brown eyes meant he qualified as my newest crush. Just as I've told and made it clear to everyone that I like him, someone else stakes her claim. Well, I wonder who?
