Parents don't exactly realise the damage and impact that the occasional slight remarks they make can have. On the rare occasions that they realise they shouldn't have said something, they make the huge mistake of just assuming that the young ones won't remember. That the words they uttered are meaningless and won't leave an impression on their children. Sometimes, all it takes to fix it is an apology.

"If I ever find you again, be it in another life, I promise I will marry you." ----- Beautiful and optimistic cancer patient, Emma Walker, has been fully aware since December first started, that she's doomed to spend Christmas - her favourite holiday - alone in the hospital. The hospital is always enveloped in pin-drop-silence. No hot chocolate, no Christmas lights, presents or ringing bells. No laughing kids or choirs singing. Her boyfriend of two years had just dumped her 6 months ago; when she finally broke the news to him, so he was out of the picture for good. Only Lillian, a full-time nurse working in the hospital, was there to help Emma through her momentary emotional pain; Lillian was more than happy for a distraction from her problems at home. Come Christmas itself, Lillian refuses to allow Emma to spend it on her own. So, she sets Emma up for a double room, in hopes of her gaining new company. Little did she know, she set Emma up with her long lost teenage love, Kane Sommers. Will the two old lovers rekindle their flames? Or will life just get in their way, all over again? Read on to find out in this one shot; with a twist as bittersweet as an icy Christmas itself. [Contest entry for Noelle's (@hepburnettes) Christmas Contest 2K15] COVER BY @octaves

Stereotypes. I hate them. On my first day at my new school, a girl in a blue and white cheerleader's uniform told me I 'looked like a cheerleader' and asked me to come to tryouts. I almost decked her. Blonde hair and blue eyes do not a cheerleader make. Cheerleaders can be bitchy and mean but they can also act all happy and excited and they can drool and swoon over Finn Wallace – the hands-down hottest guy in school – like there's no tomorrow. Me? Well, I'm just bitchy and mean. So someone please tell me why Finn Wallace is suddenly chasing after me? *This is NOT a Bridgit Mendler fan fiction* Copyright © 2013 CrayonChomper

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
