"Would you like some coffee with your sugar?" "Sounds like something someone with a pH of 2 would say." "Diabetic." "Acidic base." "That'll be $3.20." *** Some people think your coffee order says a lot about you. Andie Bishop takes her coffee with three pumps of syrup, a double shot of espresso and just enough milk to not burn her tongue: sweet, but strong. Scott Tyler takes it black: no frills, no fuss. Straight-forward. A little bitter. Looking at it like that, it makes a lot of sense. But Scott could use a little more sweetness in his life, and it wouldn't hurt Andie to do things the easy way sometimes. Opposites attract alright, but sometimes the clash is too much. Can the bitter barista and the over-the-top undergrad make it work? Or are some things just... not meant to bean? Puns, coffee, puns about coffee and belligerent sexual tension - what more could you want? Caution: contents may be hot. [highest rank: #63 in humor]

"I can take this mistake but, I can't take the ache of heartbreak." -The Script Kendall Jones is the poster child for the "Ignored by best friend (aka crush for like forever) in favour of hotter sister" campaign and she knows it. And she hates it. Said best friend and said sister also have the most on-off relationship ever but are publicly worshiped as the school's Golden Couple. Biggest ouch of the century? You betcha. But what happens when said best friend asks her for help getting over her sister? Well, thats when the poster child gets a chance to be the film star. She should be jumping for joy and dancing maniacally, right? This is her dream come true. So why is it not like what she thought it would be? Because life is always what we least expect, what if, along the way, the poster child found something -someone- she wanted, more?

Alexandra Zhang has a lot on her plate: her recent move to a new city, her job search, and the fact that her elderly neighbor has just developed the power to freeze things with a single touch. This would be complicated for anyone, but Alexandra isn't just anyone. She's got a set of interesting powers herself, powers that come with an obligation to save the city, mentor a teenage boy, and let no one else find out who she really is. Add in a shady Agency, a plot to overthrow the world, and the fact that Alex may or may not have a massive crush on her neighbor's snarky granddaughter. Looks like a recipe for catastrophic disaster.
