"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"

Seventeen-year-old Vallery Reed - fun-loving, tough, a little bit crazy and more than a tad irresponsible - is moving with her family to Norville. They've lived in that town before and you'd think that the familiar surroundings and reuniting with her childhood friend Raiden (on whom she may or may not have a crush on) would make the Reeds' return a pleasant event. By all accounts it would be if only: one - they didn't move back there so Val's mother would be admitted to a clinic for addicts, two - her ever absent father didn't suddenly decide he wanted to get close to his children, and three - her twin brother didn't have to deal with his recent realization that he was gay. Join Val as she tries to help her sibling and adapt to her new circumstances while making some questionable but fun decisions along the way. ***** • Updated on Sundays • If you want to know the story of Vallery's brother Nathaniel, check out my Hunt Me Down. It takes place before This Girl Just Wants to Have Fun, but since it's Nat's story and not Val's, you should be able to understand TGJWTHF even if you haven't read HMD. • On-going • Proofread • © 2018 Dilyana Kyoseva (CatMint5) All Rights Reserved

I never seemed to fit in. My life in Argonia was never as wonderful as I pretended it was. I loved my family, the quirks of my Argonian home and having magic. The problem is there has always been something missing. Watching the love between my sister Matilda and my best friend Xander always made me wish for my life bond. No girl has ever affected me the way Dad had told me I would recognise my life bond. It saddened me a lot of the time, though I pretended it didn't bother me. Was I stupid for wanting the kind of love my sister has had her whole life? I always felt alone, separate from everyone else, even my own twin. That was why I was happy to work on Earth with Dad. I had to escape a world that never seemed to understand me. I met her that day and I knew she was mine. I went to get my father a coffee and instead I found my life bond. The only problem is she's human.

My name is Matilda and I gave up the most important thing in my existence. I told him we should see other people. I hated it but I felt like I was holding him back. So I set my future life bond Xander free. Within a week he had dated other girls, by the end of a month he barely looked at me and by the time six months had rolled around he had moved away. I can no longer speak and I refuse to see anyone but my family. My twin brother Kale is beyond furious and I know my parents are worried. But the simple truth is he is gone and he took my very essence with him. I am nothing but a shell. I am nothing without Xander, he was my life.

He's only been here for a short while but already the girl with the strange name and violet eyes feels she has a connection with him. Eileenia is an outcast, adrift she feels on her own world of weirdness. She can't help it that she can talk to animals and they could talk back to her. How was this her fault! Still she is bullied and harassed. With noone around to support her she has crept into her own world. Hayden Johnson the new Ambassador to Argonia has to attend his Mum's old school and everyone loves him. All he notices though is the shy girl with the violet eyes who talks to noone but can run like the wind. He tries for six months to get a response from her but nothing. Coming back to school after summer holidays Eileenia is determined to talk to Hayden, to respond to the one person that smiles at her every day. But when he knows about her talent and shows some of his own, should she run and hide or stay and endure? What possible mysteries could keep them from each other?

Charlie is a girl who lives in two worlds. Her teenage years have been full of demands on her time so she can learn to be the next Ambassador of Argonia. Apart from her best friend Izzie, she has no friends and has never had a boyfriend. But what happens when she finds Prince Caden on the other side of the mirror? Will she be able to save him?

Charlie was an average girl who hated being average. But that all changed the summer she turned 15. The holidays had rolled around and she was forced to visit her grandparents, which sounds innocent enough, until she disappeared. She returns two years later not knowing that time had lapsed in her absence, with no memories of what had happened, looking the same as the day she left. Things get mighty confused. There is talk of a world called Argonia that she has never heard of. An evil man seeking her out that stole her memories and still keeps them in a crystal goblet. Then a prophecy that revolves around saving the world. While everything seems to involve an elaborate mirror that leads to a mystery world. When a gorgeous guy named Caden appears on the scene, he only has eyes for her, and seems to hold the answer to her mysteries. Can he help her solve the riddle of her life before it's too late? And could she really be the saviour of a world she had never even heard of?

Zac Carter had spent one week out of every year at Emily Dawson's house since he was fifteen. It was the week his parents had their 'alone' time as they liked to call it. He was thinking of bailing on it this year, telling them he was old enough to be on his own for a week. Then he remembered sad, strange Emily who he's had a crush on for the longest time. That made him want to stay there just so he could try and figure her out. Follow the story of Emily and Zach as they discover that sometimes things arent quite what they seem.

When you're kidnapped, maybe you think you'll find your true destiny in another world (not me), or maybe you'll be kidnapped by One Direction, or something like that (still not me) or maybe you'll be kidnapped by a super-hot guy (yes, but he hates me). Do you expect to get beaten? To be treated like a slave? To be sold like a slave? Maybe, maybe not. But there's always one thought we kidnapped have in common: ESCAPE.
