Every Valentine's Day, the student council sponsered a holiday fundraiser by selling roses that would be delievered in class.

Mimi had always understood it thus:white for love, yellow for friendship, red for passion, and pink for a secret crush.

Jack Force was more than she had ever dared wish for, and he was better than a dream or a fantasy because he was real. He was far from perfect, moody and distant at times, and burdened with sharp temper and an impulsiveness that was part of his dark nature. But she felt more love for him than she thought possible. He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for her. (Schuyler Van Alen)
