After a summer full of hurt, I, Katrina Swanson, was ready for an easy school year. However, that was not to be. Drama seems to be in every room I step into these days. Freshmen Year certainly had all of its secrets, but Sophomore Year is full of lies and betrayal.

"I need you," he whispered from the passenger seat. Why would I trust a bad boy? But I felt, for some reason, that I needed him to. I turned to look at him, but he was already leaning in to kiss me. Why is love so complicated? Maya Reeds is a seventeen year old girl thriving on independence and drive. She thinks boys are mindless, immature imbeciles and has steered clear of the entire concept of love in general. Her single mother is not just a role model, but an inspiration. Leaving for a business trip to China, Maya's mother has high ambitions for her future. However, she can't leave her daughter alone for all those months. That's where Carrie Groom comes in. Carrie has been friends with Maya's mom for years, and her home seems like a harmless place to stay for the duration of Maya's seeming abandonment. Never thought that Carrie could've raised a bad boy. As Maya endures this temporary move, she is sent into a whirlwind of desire, heated emotions, and betrayal- all fueled by the boy who lives just down the hall.

STOP! Hi. This is a story about mostly true events. Key word: MOSTLY. This story is also labeled teen fiction. Meaning, it's about teens. Just a heads up, there will be lovey dovey moments and not all of them are true. However, most of these events are true, which I why I changed the names of people. This story is about myself, Katrina Swanson, and my first year of high school. Enjoy :)

Natalie and Lucas have hated each other for as long as they can remember. She's an uptight perfectionist. He's a sarcastic shut-in. But when the two get trapped in Harrison High School during the biggest snow storm of the season, they are forced to work together. How will they cope?

Detention is supposed to be a punishment, but for Louis and Harry, it's the start of something beautiful. Unfortunately, what starts off as a harmless love affair quickly takes a turn for the worse. Through all the stereotypes, judgments, family issues, and demons from the past, Louis and Harry struggle to stay strong. What happens in detention, stays in detention. [NOTE: I began writing this book in 2011 when I was 13 years old. There are many grammatical errors, cringe-worthy moments, and plot inconsistencies. Obviously, my writing has improved immensely since 2011, so please feel free to check out any of my more recent works instead. This book is not representative of my present-day writing abilities. I would prefer to delete this entirely (and its sequel), but there have been many readers who have expressed their love and appreciation for this book despite its flaws. Regardless, thank you all for your support with the Detention series over the past few years. I love and appreciate each and every one of you.]

It felt like a normal valentines day for Elle. Making her way into school, she watched as the eleventh grade player of a boyfriend handed his new girl a present while she dived into his arms. Sappy she thought. While walking to her grey locker, she couldn't help but wonder about all the things she and Zac would've been doing if they were still together. The thought of how he left her broke her heart all over again. It had been a year and she still couldn't wipe the image of his dirty blonde hair being brushed from his eyes by her soft hands. The way the cute couple walked hand-in-hand to every class. She shakes the thought off in disgust. As she opens her locker, a pink note falls from the opening. Furrowing her eyebrows, she picks the little letter up from the dirty school tiles. Her name, followed by a heart stood upon the front.
