Hi I read this book few years back and I don't remember its namei remember all the story from start till the end but I can't remember any tittle or characters names or any quotes in this book.
So If anyone can help me find it would be awesome.

So the story goes something like this:
Story starts with funeral and then flash back into past.
The male lead (ML) is football or basketball player and he writes poetry but doesn't share it with anyone but then he needs help with some poem so he talk to female lead (FL) for help as she is in newspaper for school, she is also poor , so she helps him but the ML doesn't want any of his friends to know that he is hanging out with her so whenever they meet they go out of town in ML's car and talk abt poetry and slowly they fell in love and one day without asking ML, FL post his poem in newspaper which is being appreciated by everyone in town but no one know it's by ML as she posted it anonymously, so he is angry but later they make up.
There is this other story line in this story any FL's brother and his gf, she belongs to rich family and is in senior year and the brother is dropout and gf ends up pregnant and brother says he will support her pregnancy gf is also okay with it but not her parents so one day brain wash her or force her to terminate her pregnancy and she starts drinking and partying very much and one night while she is drunk she gets into accident and dies so the funeral.

So anyone who has read this book or know of this book please do reply I'll be very grateful.
Thank You

How many years ago did you read this book?
Time period/location story takes place?
Part of a series?
Anything about the cover?

[Asra]

Hi.
No that is not the book I'm looking for thanks though.
I read it 3-5 yrs back and it's set in '90 I suppose.
No it's not part of a series.
I don't remember anything​ except story.
