"I didn't ask to be in the middle of your ego-battle," I grumble. Blake pins me to my locker, hands resting on either side of my head. "Well, you got it in anyway, Darling," he whispers. His face is inches away from mine and damn me for licking my lips. I am NOT falling for these guys. And then, at the corner of my eye I spot Owen and his gang approaching. Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes. I'll take that bet on the golden girl." *** COMPLETED FICTION AWARDS: Best new story and best new account Highest ranking in Teen Fiction: #1 on 25/06/2018

I'm an accident. I'm a lie. And my life depends on keeping the illusion. I'm the false princess. Chained to a destiny that was never meant to be mine. My father is the only person I have ever seen. He's the only one who comes to see me in my dungeon. I once asked him why I couldn't leave... his answer left me haunted. It was as if he held a secret about myself that I myself did not know. "You can't leave because your a monster." I did not know what he meant by that so I pushed harder to get an answer. "The day you were born you caused something so dangerous and out of this world that if anyone knew about your existence you would be dead. No one knows you exist but myself." But the night my father came to my dungeon he made me an offer I could not resist. It was my only shot out of this dungeon. I would have to save the chained princess by pretending to be her. As I left the dungeon I think I saw tears in my father's eyes or perhaps it was just an illusion. He had never shown me affection. He was a ruthless man. There was no nostalgia as I left my old life. I mean if you could even call it a life. I am Xenia... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would have been beautiful and wanted if it weren't for my marking. A purple eye and a brown eye. Not even my own parents wanted me. They left me at a doorstep of a poor family. It's not easy being different. There is only one person I truly love. A soldier high above my rank... yet his tender brown eyes tell a different story. I am Yazmin... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the Princess of Corinth. Flawless, beautiful, wanted, blessed. Daughter of a King and Queen. Heir to a thrown. But one night I lost everything. The neighboring kingdom, my enemy took me captive. Chained like an animal and rescued like a princess. It could have only been an angel who set me free. I am Zeara...

His parting words to me were beautifully bittersweet but that was before everything happened. Before they became so devastating that they tore my heart and soul apart, not ever to be mended again. He told me "You know I'll always love you, right, Vanessa? Forever. And if forever ever ends, then I'll love you from the beginning all over again." But how? How would he love me all over again if he was gone. Never to touch my skin again, to tell me those words again, to tell me he will never leave me broken. That he won't shatter into dust just like he did that night when he left me to fight alone in this world. Every single day I wait for the day that he'll love me from the beginning all over again. My favorite memory of him seems to always loom in my head underneath the cloud of darkness. It was as if destiny was calling and I got up and ran to him meeting him halfway. "Vanessa." He murmured, the words coming out his mouth surprised him as much as they surprised me. "Austin..." the word barely a whisper. He was someone so dear to me. But we couldn't remember. We were broken. Shattered. Lost. Not remembering. But this... This was the beginning or maybe it was the end-- but all I knew was that it was something beautiful.

Bad Luck ~ Definition: An unfortunate state resulting from unfavourable outcomes. Everybody gets bad luck right? Most people say from unlucky symbols like: - A black cat crossing one's path - The number 13 - Walking under a ladder - Breaking a mirror - Opening an umbrella indoors Lies. All of them. Bad luck just comes naturally. Always coming at the wrong time. I did nothing wrong. I was innocent, smart and sweet so why did bad luck have to come and ruin everything? Most people say that good luck comes after bad luck. Now that, I can say is partly true. Why partly? Because you do get good luck. But to be honest there is no bad luck. Might be at the start but without bad luck you wouldn't have good luck. So let me rephrase that definition. Bad Luck ~ Definition: Another way of saying good luck is coming your way. ** | Highest Ranking: #639 in teen fiction 22/4/17 | | Not a sequel for 'I'm back'| | Copyright ©2017 By @eatsleepswimrepeat_ | | Updating every week |
