"Who are you, really?" I look at the scenery, forcing myself not to meet his eyes. "Colin Soares. Seventeen years old, turning eighteen this September. Lead singer and guitarist of a band." "That doesn't really tell me anything." "Maybe that's because you already know me, and you just don't know it yet." "Why is it that from all the people I may have encountered today, I always come across you?" This time I lock my gaze with his, for the millionth time in a day. And it's like we're the only two people in existence once again, but now in this place, it really is just us. Me in front of him. Him in front of me. His expression an expression of yearning and sincerity and hope. Without words I sense his vulnerability, his eyes giving way to his soul. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I whisper. "You're beauty never fails to bewilder me." Claire Mintz has soft, hazel eyes, and long auburn hair with hints of blonde when it reflects the sunlight. Her smile is her trademark: the warm, gentle smile that can attract anyone who captures it. She has gone a long way to become this beautiful young woman, and so far she is managing her image and her life well. Amazingly well. Her neighbour, the sly yet awfully attractive Eli Wolfsfeld seems to be her match, her should be other half, her saviour and prince. But then what happens when Colin comes into her life, and everything goes downhill? She remembers her past, and finds herself doubting her feelings for Eli and the person she portrays in the present. Will she choose her path to perfection, or break some beauty (and life) rules to be with Colin who she's finding herself slowly falling for? Author's note: To my readers, I promise if you stick with me I'll give you chapters that will be seriously worth it. And I swear I keep my promises.

*FORMERLY DAY BY DAY* Maddy is a hot-headed, passionate feminist with an obsession for watching new television shows (hello, Orphan Black), listening to good music, and all things that have anything to do with food. When Elissa (a bold cheerleader who is on top of the pyramid - literally and figuratively) is assigned to tutor Maddy in Chem or risk having her grade dropped, you can imagine neither girl is excited about the prospect of being within five feet of each other. Maddy will need a good supply of chocolate bars. Elissa will not be pleased. [cover by @taceturnity]

They say that life is a battle, full of triumphs and losses and death. In many ways, this is true. However, someone forgot to mention that battles vary, and so do lives. My name is Nora Nicole, I have cancer in the lungs and I am dying. Though I am living, I am not living in the literal sense. I want to go out, have fun; be a normal teenager. And what better way to do this than create a bucket list, rebel against my parents and ask the notorious Zeke Parker to help me complete it before I die? Nothing comes to mind.

My life was like any normal mothers at one point, ballet reciatls, show-and-tell and 6 year old girls sleepovers. I had become accustomed to buying Barbie dolls and such for my 6 year old Scarlet. Her father and I always did the best to do what we could for Scarlet. We were both fairly young. I am 23, and Scarlet's father, Nathan is 26. We had been together for 6 years when Nathan decided to leave. Just one day he up and decided he couldn't be the man I needed. I had to pick up the pieces as well as try to care for our daughter and explain why Daddy wasn't around anymore. Just as I think the late-nights were as bad as they were going to get with Scarlet, she starts asking questions about my private life before Nathan. Her scheming mind hoping to bring Mommy and Daddy together. How can I not tell her? She has a right to know, and plus, who was I to deny possibly getting my love back, even if it meant abusing my daughters power over her father.

*WARNING: Written in 2008, some content may be offensive* Stasee is your typical shy, quiet teenage girl until the night her brother's best friend Damen Hurtz decides to finally acknowledge her existence. In a desperate attempt to gain his acceptance she allows him to take the one thing every girl values most...her virginity. After that night, Damen constantly begins accepting her while they're alone and then rejecting her in front of his peers. Stasee's frustration and confusion continues to grow, as do her feeling toward the man who continues to break her heart. He claims that he cares for her, but will his need for his peer's acceptance prevent him from ever treating Stasee the way he should? And if he finally realizes the stupidity of popularity over love, will Stasee still be waiting for him?

Samantha and Damien are complete strangers who take the train at the same time every morning to get to work. Is it possible to find love while commuting to work on the train every day? Is there such a thing as fate? Follow these two individuals, with nothing in common (or so they thought), except taking the same train at the same time every morning, and find out how they managed to find each other and fall in love. © 2013 by reis_tan.

Jessica was your plain type of girl; introverted, awkward and socially insecure. Her baggy clothing and average, typical brown hair and eyes did nothing to accentuate her appearece or aid her inexplicit insivibility. Instigating friendships, relationships or even just conversations was an uneasy task; so when Jessica found herself mingling with Mr Popular himself and becoming an insider with the so-called cool kids, she couldn't believe it. Every aspect of her personality would be put to the test as she learns to accept and venture into countless funny, awkward, memorable and beautiful moments, alongside new friends. But the biggest challenge would be discovering and dealing with the feelings she'd developped for the very person who showed her that life really does begin at the end of your comfort zone.
