What Does Your Heart Tell You
“What does your heart tell you?” Do I have company in the living room when I am watching one of my girly movies? Please. I’m sitting there alone (unless I have some girl-friends over).

She wasn’t just another hopeless girl in love with a boy who didn’t even know she existed (which isn’t totally off in this movie, but it wasn’t the main plot). Her personality is a reflection of a girl who wasn’t caught in the middle of trying to
