When Charlotte agrees to fake date bad boy Mason to make her best friend and secret crush, Ben, jealous, she thinks it will be a simple arrangement. The rules are clear and she's certain of her goal: make Ben fall in love with her. So why does it seem like the lines always blur when Mason is around? *** Charlotte Anderson has secretly been in love with her best friend, Ben Hathaway, since childhood, though he's never seen her as anything but the girl next door. After witnessing Ben kissing another girl at a party, a heartbroken Charlotte accidentally admits her crush to notorious bad boy Mason Reed... who also happens to be one of Ben's closest friends. But Mason isn't going to tell Charlotte's secret; instead, he suggests they fake a relationship to make Ben jealous. They create a set of strict rules for the arrangement: no kissing when Ben isn't around, no sex, and no falling in love. But as their fake relationship progresses, and Mason's walls break down, Charlotte finds herself questioning her true feelings for both boys, and wondering if some rules are meant to be broken-especially when it comes to love.

A poem I wrote in the early 90s.

I looked down at my watch. 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒．．． I only realize the rain is bitterly cold because my skin carries the heat of my blood. My exasperation warms my body; boiling inside of me like the sun. How could they take something that is so valuable to me. A hollow pit is now left in my chest from where Y/n isn't. Finding her is the only way to fill this hole. As I stride onwards towards the department store, my eyes closely scrutinize the atmosphere around me. Even though darkness engulfs the parking lot, my pupils dilate to see if I'm being followed. The raindrops continue to kiss my skin as I spacial jump into the department store. I gaze longingly around the store, grabbing a flashlight from a nearby shelf. I turn it on; the whole room lighting up. The illumination bringing me comfort as I could make out objects that surrounded me. I inspected ever isle and corridor, pacing gingerly, leaving no place untouched. 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑌／𝑛．．． Despair began to contaminate me. "Did they even come? Was this just a set up?" My internal thoughts were screaming. -------------------------------------------------------- Y/n Hargreeves, Number 8, grew up in the umbrella academy with 7 other siblings. Who also had powers.

"Maybe meeting you wasn't as bad as I thought..." Fan fiction story (p.s season 1 is complete) ( big fan of T.U.A, and Aidan Gallagher, so I really wanted to make a stories about it, from how I would want things to go) I hope you enjoy the book as you learn more about what happening inside the Umbrella Academy🤔😅

"I'm about to make a prediction, okay? So listen close, you punk ass cultist." "Damn, what happened to you?" Klaus asked, narrowing his eyes at Cass who just stood before him, staring him down with a glassy look in her eyes. "You don't wanna know, now listen up. We don't have until 2019 to prevent the apocalypse. We have until Monday. We brought the apocalypse back with us." "What- but how?" Klaus stammered, "Wow this is bad." "No. It's good.," Cass said with a sinister smile on her lips, "We had a lot of loose ends in the future. Ends that date all the back to 1963. Did you ever wonder why dad decided to adopt us?" Klaus shook his head. "Believe me," Cass continued, "It took 8 people and a lot of pressure to get him to do it. And I think you'll find us Hargreeves kids to be very persuasive."

Five x reader oneshots/imagines I hope you guys enjoy my stories and I want you to know that unless I state clearly that it is a request, all stories are in fact my own. REQUESTS ARE ACCEPTED Sample of chapter : 'Pride and Joy' I smiled gently and leaned down to kiss her again. Just as passionately, I don't have to worry about anyone coming in this time. I dragged my tongue along her lip, and almost cried out when she opened her mouth, allowing my access. My tongue entered her mouth and entwined with her own. I was a bit hesitant, we'd never done this before. I'd never done this before. At all. With (y/n), she gasped slightly, her arms pulling me closer. After a few minutes, I pulled away, still on top of her, both of us breathing hard. I smiled and gave her a few more pecks on the lips. I leaned back and gave her an Eskimo kiss, right then, her eyes fluttered open and my heart stopped. Pure. Beautiful. Innocent. Mine. Her eyes were pools of the finest gold, a dull glow shone from them. I love when this happens. I just want to stare at her til the end of the world. Nobody else can look at these eyes. Nobody can cause these eyes to look like this gorgeous colour. "Mine. You know dad was right. You are the pride and joy of this academy. You're my pride and joy and I would not give you up for anything." __________________________ I really hope you guys liked this short extract, if you did, feel free to read other chapters of mine.
