Ever felt like you had no option than to risk it all and jump? It's easier when you have nothing at all to lose. But when everything is on the line, should I take this risk?

When you have been "ugly" in the eyes of your peers all through middle school. What happens when you physically mature over 8th grade summer. What rollercoaster ride will you be on when you run into the bad boys. How will your 9th grade experience end, in flames? Or with a bang? Just ask Keegan.

Teens go through ups and downs with relationships, but will Kalia be able to handle it...or will she bend under pressure?

I never cared about the tattoo on your forearm until your arms were wrapped around me. And maybe it was by my own naivety that I never saw your scars.. or your unfaltering desire to survive. I have a little theory about the kinds of guys to stay away from. You did not make it on that list, because I knew exactly who you were from the very beginning. And how can you get hurt when you know that someone will never love you? My rule is to never, under any circumstances, fall in love with a good guy. Because when he leaves, you cannot hate him. You will think of all of the things he always did right; hating him will be so impossible, and loving him will still be so easy. Because he'll want to be your friend. And you'll want to be his, too. But catching up with him every 6 weeks will not be enough for your heart, and being his friend will be the most elaborate method of self-harm. Because he'll still be the boy you fell in love with. When it's all said and done, he won't be anyone except exactly who you knew he was. And how do you fall out of love with the same exact characteristics that made you fall in love in the first place? So don't date a good boy. Because when a bad boy leaves, at least you saw it coming. When a bad boy leaves, at least you can hate him. When a bad boy leaves, at least you can tell yourself that you were an idiot for falling for him in the first place. I'm the idiot, and my name is Claire.

Just a teen "love" story?

{#1 in teenagers} {#2 in fiction} {#2 in popular} "You better not tell anyone about this." "Aw why not? I'm sure your fandom of desperate girls would love to know that their precious prince charming needs a babysitter." I smile innocently back at his death glare. "I'm serious, nerd. I could make your life hell." ------------------------------------------------------------ Marnie Jones is an ordinary 11th grader. Her only intentions are to get good grades and save money for college with her babysitting job. Everything is going to plan. Until she gets a job babysitting the high school bad boy, Zeke Blakely. The two come from complete different social groups, and Marnie automatically hates Zeke and his big ego and cocky attitude. He's a player. He's dangerous. He's reckless. She's safe with an overthinking problem. As the two are seen hanging around school together, attention gets drawn to Marnie. Which she hates. But she also catches the eye of a handsome jock, too. And why, you ask, does a 17 year old boy need a babysitter? You'll have to read to find out. WARNING: contains vulgar language and mature scenes.
