I've found "children's" books are frequently very unique whilst still being good. A Series of Unfortunate Events, is a great example of this. Here are two to check out.

The Stars Beneath Our Feet, by David Barclay Moore

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente

Lol, yes. In addition to being a bitch to me when he spoke to me, she would just stare at him whenever he wasn't looking. She'd laugh obnoxiously at all of his jokes, everything he said was a good idea, and she would compliment him constantly. It was was so excessive he looked to me in confusion and mild panic, that class was hard to get through without laughing at him. He knew I knew what was going on, after class I had to explain she had a crush. It was amazing because his response was bewilderment. "I don't even really know her! She never talks to me, this is the only class we have together... and most of class she is just being a bitch to you!" Girls are weird dude.

In middle school a mean girl didn't like that I was getting along with the boy she liked. She said that I was small, and I had no idea what she was talking about. They guy had to explain she meant my chest. I had gym with this girl and knew for a fact she stuffed her bra, I did not.

Yes and no. The selective pressure matters. If the teeth are no longer advantageous they will disappear over a longer time. Think of cave fish that loose their eyes. Eyes are not useful in a cave, and they require extra energy to make and maintain. It's low selective pressure.
If the teeth were very disadvantageous, and causeing death,they would disappear much quicker. Think of island animals, typically large animals get much smaller than their mainland counterparts. There is less food available for their size. The smaller individuals don't starve. High selective pressure, happens much faster.

Not Darwins just evolution. Evolution doesn't control anything, it just is. This I just as dub as saying gravity won't control humans because we can fly. It's still there even if humans fight against it.

Every living is "controlled" by evolution. Adding in gene therapy or artificial selection does not mean evolution goes away
