** REVISED VERSION: HIATUS ** If there's one thing Bridget Jenkins can't stand, it'd be the overly sexist views guys seem to hold nowadays towards female gamers. To Bridget, it seems as if she can't do anything videogame-related without having some guy criticize her for not being in the kitchen. So, determined to leave behind those overly sexist thoughts and to prove to them that, yes, girls can in fact videogame, Bridget signs up for the Battle Ground Championship-and immediately finds out that out of the pool of five hundred applicants, she is one of the only females. Rarely having female competitors, boys flock to Bridget like bees would to flowers-well, almost every boy. There's one exception, and that's Brayden Coleman: five-time Battle Ground Champion. With his overly sexist views on women and videogames, it isn't too surprising that he and Bridget aren't friends. But Bridget, determined to prove Brayden wrong and to show him that she can, in fact, be just as good as him, Bridget vows to win the competition and kick that arrogant ass of his. Now throw in a heartthrob, a jaw-dropping realization, two crazy best friends, and girl problems, and what do you get? Gamer girl problems. Copyright © 2013 BubblyPenguin

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
