Everyone knows the rules of growing up. Once you're eighteen things become clearer, childhood problems melt away, and you're ready to go out and conquer the world. You're now an adult. You can look your parents in the eye as equals. Officially, you're on your own, and now you'll only look back fondly at what you once were, an immature child still learning about life. Or so you'd think. Jake is a young adult who grew up with the support of his family, especially his mother, Elaine. Though he experienced some rough patches as a child and fitting in was a constant challenge, she's been there for him. But it's time for Jake to "grow up" and for him, that means no longer needing his family. It turns out that life without them is a far greater struggle than he ever imagined. Living independently is hard, but admitting it is even harder. Join this true story of conflict and heart-pounding moments, as both mother and son explore the concept of parenting as a lifelong commitment.

~complete~ Charlotte is as sweet as a strawberry. She's the kind of person who will drop everything just to help you, just to put a smile on your face. She's as sweet as the sugar that constantly runs through her bloodstream, and as excitable as the rush that comes with it. And then there's Benjamin, who's as sour as a lemon. The last thing on this Godforsaken planet he wants to do is acquaint himself with her. While Charlotte is kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean. So how in the hell is that going to turn out?

Kyana debe mudarse al otro lado del país, con apenas dieciocho años y una vida que, hasta ese momento, fue tranquila, fácil y feliz. Lo cierto es que daría todo por apoyar a su madre y por ello, deja todo lo que hasta ese momento conocía. Desde el primer día en su nuevo colegio, en la playa de Myrtle Beach, nota varias cosas que... quizá no se la hagan tan sencilla: Ella es latina, en medio de un sitio donde serlo, no es precisamente algo que ayude. Los grupos están muy marcados, y odios añejos la arrastrarán de manera inevitable. Un gorila que es parte del equipo de futbol, la hostiga casi desde el primer momento. Y si lidiar con ello no es suficiente, experimenta por primera vez lo que es enamorarse, sentir mariposas, intriga, ilusión. ¿Lo malo? Es el capitán del equipo de futbol, el gorila es parte de su clan, sus nuevos amigos lo detestan de forma fiera y tiene, en su currículo, una lista larga de bajezas y situaciones que no será fácil aceptar. Liam Rusell pronto se convierte en lo más hermoso que le pudo pasar, a pesar de ello, pero también, de forma inevitable; en lo más doloroso. *Ganadora de la Premios Watty 2013*

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038
